we're expecting hillary clinton to make a jobs pitch to denver. good morning. thank you for being with us. a lot to bring you this morning. we begin with an election that could not only change the face of the senate but shift the balance of power and shape what gets done in congress for the next two years. voting is underway right now down south in the great state of pstz. six-term incumbent senator thad cochran is pitted against chris mcdaniel. less than 1,000 votes separated the two candidates. today is the runoff. and the race is also pitting the candidates from the 2008 gop presidential ticket against one another. mccain for corcoran and palin for mcdaniel. as they put it, it's now up to the voters. nbc casey hunt is on the ground in mississippi. also joining me is senior political writer and the huffington post. so much to get to when it comes

down to the race. casey, you spent the last 24 hours on the ground. give us a sense of the mood from both sides and erg is fired up to this point. >> this has been a really long campaign for both sides. it's been nasty and hard fought. the runoff has been even nastier than the original primary campaign. at this point corcoran supporters are weary but nervous. the conventional wisdom was that mcdaniel would be easily to pull it off. history typicallies if there's an -- that said money that is flooded into corcoran's campaign. mccain was down here, as you noted. brett favre is in an ad that the u.s. chamber of commerce is running for him. there's a sense there's an unknown here among the campaign. on the mcdaniel side i would say they're trying to fight it out to the end and ride the wave that took him this far. the national tea party has a lot

riding on it. they bankrolled his campaign. at this point, you know, mcdaniel campaign is trying to get to the finish line. we talked to him yesterday about the campaign has been like. he said the first thing he wants to do after this is all over is go to disney world. so clearly everybody is a little bit worn out. >> if you think about it in term of money. we're talking about early this month with corcoran over $400,000. mcdaniel had $60,000. a little over that. so let's talk about this. you know, as five-term senator here and john mccain you talk to him joining the fray monday for the six-term colleague here. you put the establishment question to him and he spoke 0 you about that. tell us a little bit more >>well, john mccain, you know, is down here arguing that he and senator cochran have years of experience. and the reason not to back mcdaniel in the election is because we're in dangerous times. there's crises going on in the

middle east. mccain is focussed on national security. he said cochran has the experience to lead. mcdaniel, at the state legislator has less experience. but one thing i would point out more broadly about this race, in the last three weeks, cochran's campaign or cochran's supporters have fous canned on expanding the lek trait. they focussed on bringing african-american democratic vote toerts polls. their argument is cochran delivered for the state and brought back federal money. mcdaniel argued he would want to make big cuts to federal money that mississippi gets. he stumbled earlier in the campaign about whether or not he would have voted for the aid in the wake of hurricane katrina. mcdaniels argues it's a disingenious strategy. they should be it could be illegal if those voters had voted in the democratic primary. >> we have the racial divide. we'll talk about this in a little bit. when we look at the new york

times here. they put it this way. regardless of who wins today's unpredictable senate run runoff they sent a message. it's no longer enough to be a diligent member quietly represent,ing your constituent's interest. has the tea party fami-- finall changed washington? >> certainly the tea party has tended to reward candidates who are not shy about demonstrating partisan fervor. who like to take the fight to obama and the democrats. they like candidates like that. ly say eric ericson recently wrote a post on red state which i thought made a good point. he said that tea party and the conservative grassroots is just as much about removing entrenched incumbents as it is aid logical purity. even if thad was 100% conservative, 100% on base with the tea party on every issue,

there is still a good chance there would been a conservative uprising because they want people who have been in washington for five or six terms to get out and they want new people. >> we're hearing loud and clear. amanda, if mcdaniel comets through. next time ted cruz stands on the -- next time mike lee stands on the floor, next time rand paul stands on the floor to fight for you, a son of mississippi will stand next to them. if he's planning to be a republican in the mold of ted cruz. what does it mean for what gets done in the senate? >> well, it could be a problem. even if republicans say they do win back the senate. it could be a problem for mitch mcconnell as he tries to govern. you've heard it a lot about republicans already in the house. they're so fractured it's not clear what they want. john boehner has a tough time of getting his caucus together and governing and putting forward legislation they agree on.

mitch mcconnell shoucould have same problem. you'll have people like christ mcdaniel who feels like he came to washington with a mandate to sort of oppose the establishment. so it could be very tough and voters may not like that. they may tell republicans next time you had your chance to govern, you blew it. you're going put democrats back in. i think many republicans are worried about that as well. >> let's talk about now the race divide here. how that's being charged. the tight race has cochran, according to african-american voters in the gop runoff. here is mcdaniel's response to that. i'm not concerned about african-american i'm concerned about liberal. if senator cochran is going to -- it's a clear indication has he has abandoned conservatives in the state of mississippi. fair, no, yes? >> i think that part of the problem here is, you know, we saw this all of this evidence casey touched on with the vote

watchers or poll watchers coming. i think that it's tough because, yes, there is a case to be made it's illegal for people who have voted in democratic primaries to vote in the primaries in mississippi. at the same time, how are you going to identify liberals? at some point it's going to come down to saying, well, all the black voters are coming are they secretly democrats? and you very quickly come to a point where they're questioned about racial profiling and voter intimidation. that said, democrats, you know, tend to always argue that voter intimidation is a big part of every election. just as conservatives argue there's a big, you know, vote are fraud. it's not necessarily as true as both sides want. >> let's throw in the other facet. claims of voter intimidation and the return of ken. amanda, what is mcdaniel and how is he reacting to that? >> he said that he believes that voter -- vote monitoring and poll watching is fine. and this is less about lawsuits. a voter would to openly declare

they plan to support a different candidate in general election than the primary election. most voters probably aren't going to do that. experts say this is really more about intimidating voters and trying to discourage democrats from coming out to vote at all in the first place. >> all right. thank you all for your perspective. i wish you could stick around as the day progresses. lots of time for that later today. we're keeping our eye on two important house hearings. coming up we'll dig into what is going on with the missing irs e-mails. darrell issa said there's a cover up. coup what can the.ws about more than 50 thousand kids crossing alone? secretary of state trying to keep iraq together. the country end up split? we'll talk to congressman greg

. in just days the first teams of again berets will be in iraq. >> we're trying to do here is assess what are the capabilities of the iraqi military? what is the situation on the ground? what is isil. how much is there. and all the different options with respect to what you might do about them. that will inform the president and the national security team to make judgments. >> the increased u.s. military response comes a day after secretary of state john kerry conducted marathon meetings with sunni and shia groupers along with maliki who agreed to form a

national government in one week. kerry was dealt a diplomatic set back. after meeting with the kurdish president who said they are facing a new reality and iraq and pushing for independence. as a political process movers forward, the al qaeda offshoot isis gains more ground. now controlling most of the entire border with syria. on monday, the sunni insurgents attack of police convoy 20 miles south of downtown g baghdad. 81 died in that. let's bring in congressman meeks. thank you for being with us. >> greating with y being with y >> let's start with kerry and the diplomatic mission absolutely high stakes. he got the reassurance from prime minister maliki there's a new government inform formed on july 1st. >> the only way you'll be successful if the shia, the sunni, and the kurds have a

government where everybody has a role. without that, you then get into what is happening now. the sectarian violence is taking place. so i think that what secretary kerry is doing is making and assessment by talking to individuals to see if it can become a realty. we don't want, as this country, as the united states, to get involved in a situation that is a no-win situation that is just a sectarian war, some call a civil war. >> you thought about becoming the reality. you have to consider the kurds they're throwing themselves in. iraq is trying to form the new government. that's got to overall threaten the attempt to unite. what you're saying. >> that's why the secretary is there. he's going talk to the kurds to talk about the importance of a unified government. damage has been done by maliki. there's no question about that. an assessment has to be made whether maliki has the ability to bring the sides together. it could be, i don't know, i think that's one of the things that the secretary will be able

to disearn whether or not maliki has that ability. whether or not there's something that, you know, the kurds want specifically or the kurds feel they can trust maliki. all of those kinds of considerations are taking place. and i'm sure those are the kinds of judgments that the secretary is going have to make. >> that's a tough one history with maliki and the failures there. let's talk about new poll numbers this morning as far as this goes in foreign policy and the president. 57% say the situation in iraq is beyond our control. and you also have your majority support the use of military advisers and drone attacks. a majority opposes manned aircraft attacks and an overwhelming majority -- >> no one wants boots on the ground. that's out. >> especially with the president making that clear. >> and the president is clear about that. giving the president the leeway to make a decision on what is best to keep americans safe. what is our national interest?

and if there is a national interest to do something, then the american people are saying let's not do it with our troops. let's do drones or something of that nature. i think the president has utilized, you know, i think that's why the american people overall have said that the president is doing good because he's done individuals that were threats us no the united states. >> thank you there's other poll numbers i wish we could get to. another time. congressman meeks, thank you for being with us. >> let's bring in steve washington editor at large for the atlantic and msnbc contributor. where does this appear to be heading today? the kurdish president taulked about a new reality. is the real tu including independence region or is there a way to keep the country together? >> well, we'll know when the sunsets on july 1st. that's the deadline date that maliki agreed to with kerry to come forward with a potential

new government. i have to say that if i were a betting person, it's not likely to be a sustainable deal. far san any and his relatives who have been running kurdistan for a long time. made a social contract if you deliver on security and democracy, if you deliver on key public goods we in the region need, then we'll remain part of the iraq. this was years ago. that hasn't happened. they have been threaten a -- they're already antonymous but independent movement which would be disruptive for the region. there are 3 million kurds in syria, many in turkey. if they are go that direction it makes an already bad situation even more complex. i'm hopeful that perhaps the deal they do satisfies sunni leaders enough they begin knocking back what we begin seeing roll forward with isis. if that were to happen, that would give us a chance to see something different. >> let's talk about lives lost here with the united nations

human rights monitor saying more than 1,000 people. mostly civilians have been killed in iraq so far this month. best case scenario, the iraqis form a more inclusive government. is that going end the isis insurgency? >> you know, revenge is a big driver of animosity. one of the reasons why national borders are mattering less and less in this you've got cousins and triable relatives that exist across lines. and when you see the level of horror that we're seeing. it's drawing many others from other nations into the region into the conflict pits. so i think that whether it's the -- we're calling the isis insurgency. it's many other groups, not just isis that is driving their ambition and anger and frustration at maliki and the shiite-lead government. i don't believe it will end. i think we're going it see worse before better. i'm hoping we're wrong. >> you talk about that.

you write about the difficulties in choosing sides in the sectarian battle in the middle east. are allies backed isis in syria. so, you know, you keep track on who is with who and who is not. >> this is a case of enemy the enemy. the enemy of assad turned out to be a monster. a lot of islamic extremists money found its way into isis whom we're fighting and concerned about inside iraq and perhaps jordan. so we have to be careful in these knee-jerk reactions about arming this group or that. i think one of the great tragedies has been the failure of the free syrian army to be the leader of the opposition in syria. even arms and money given to them leeched out to many of the other more extremist groups. and that is now what we're seeing expand outside of syria into other parts of the middle east. it's a hard problem to get around. >> we've seen that force grow. thank you, steve. we appreciate it. you can see andrea

crisis including the massive numbers of unaccompanied children coming here alone. right now he's on capitol hill testifying about a hearing there and potential solutions to this crisis. we like to bring in a columnist from usa today to help us out and the effort was lawmakers. let's start with texas governor rick perry along with ted cruz. they visited and tours the facilitied. they are warning with something like this, it's a matter of having it get worse, you know. it can only grow. what are the politics here? especially while having the hearings and what is at stake? >> see, this a lot at stake. the unaccompanied children, what to do with them. send them back or care for them? right now the president doesn't have good options. what he has is two clear impartive. the moral imperative to deal with the children in a humane away. and number two is the political to get past the squirmishing around the issue. the fact is, the republicans have been very big on

criticizing him on blaming the administration of immigration policy for creating the crisis. not so much on solutions. you know, this is distracting from some of his broader goals. >> you're saying it's distracting while jay johnson is live there. at the hearing talking about the care of these children. their welfare, how they come out of it in the best way possible. what should we learn? what should we expect to learn from secretary johnson's visit there? we've seen the pictures. what are the plans? >> well, that remains to be seen. one of the i think ifs that is troubling about this. for example, tomorrow there's another committee hearing, i believe, the house judiciary committee hearing and it's titled an administration created disaster. the political lines in a sense of already drawn and the republicans are not necessarily, i don't think, looking for the solutions. they're trying to pin it on the president and say this is a reason why we shouldn't do immigration reform. yet, you could look at the

crisis from another viewpoint of saying this is why we should do immigration reform. it's clear who can be legalized or who can come. who is excluded, you know. and we would have more border security with that senate bill. there's different ways of looking that the. it's like a rue bix cube. >> bringing out immigration reform is in sync with house speaker john boehner. he spoke moments about on immigration. here is more. >> the president is making this harder and harder every day for us to try to deal with this in a responsible way. we got people flooding across the border. we have a humanitarian disaster. most of the president's own making, in my opinion. it makes our jobs much more difficult. >> all right. you're saying you're talking about this focus and the politics aside. will immigration -- will the reform get done? >> i'm not so sure that it can be done legislatively at this point. the fact is, john boehner allowed a vote on immigration

reform it could go forward. the humanitarian crisis is clouding the issue. what might surprise a lot of people is that so many of the immigration reform groups, the immigration advocacy groups they see it as a distractions. they don't see it as necessarily helping or hindering their cause. they see it as a distractions that is just clouding the bigger issue. so it's like a huge problem for them. >> quite the distractions when you see the images as we're seeing now of all of these children. i know, you have a phone call up there too. i'm not wat-- they're not watch they don't know you're on the air. >> we'll see what happens especially with the live look they gave you awhile ago on capitol hill with jay johnson testifying there and his visit. a live look as he's starting the hearings off and off to nogales, arizona to get a closer look. thank you. alex weigher in is bringing you in the middle of the immigration debate all week on now with the series "the

has been hammering the administration and it got fiery last night. moments ago tense moments when they questioned jeff broke heimer. >> we hired you when we said we wanted -- >> war fell, the acting commission per. >> yes or no. you're a hostile witness. are you hired? >> i'm not a hostile witness. >> yes, you are. >> this morning's hearing follows last night where irs commission ee eer defended his y they notified them that lois learner had commuter problems in 2011 which caused some e-mails to go missing. thank you for being with us this morning. >> good morning. >> let's start with this, victoria. when you put it in perspective, is it becoming a bigger deal than we thought especially when we hear just the terms coming around hostile witness and the

fire works we saw last night? >> francis, to begin. when you have mention of the irs, it doesn't inspire warm fuzzy feelings in anyone. so out of the gate we see problems with the irs. but what is happening with these hearings that took place yesterday that are takes place right now that have taking place over the last several months we're not get together bottom of anything. what we've seen is witch hunt. we need the buy in of democratic colleagues and folks to say, you know, let's let this see the light of day. let's not go into it in a combative mode. thing are problems there. the means by which they try to resolve them have made the situation worse. >> robert, your response? witch hunt? >> i don't think it's a witch hunt. let's be honest. it's a little bit of a political theater we've seen a few moments ago. it's ironic that the irs can find your taxes if you didn't pay your taxes and your pay stubs. they're pretty good at audits

but you mean to tell me they lost the hard drive? i was led to believe in the workplace in any time you delete an e-mail it's not deleted because the servers and so forth. it's a little bit mysterious the irs can audit you and go back five or six years to find your personal stuff but they can't find a series of work e-mails. it raises eye brows. it's a legitimate issue the chairman is bringing up. the reason why, we know this, it appears that lois learner and her staff deliberately targeted 501 c 3 conservative organizations and didn't do so in the same pattern with democratic leading organizations. that's a legitimate concern that we have to get to the bottom of. >> let's bring in the situation from last night. this morning less firy than last night. here is one of the exchanges between darrell issa and commissioner. >> who did you tell in april when you knew? >> who did i tell? i didn't tell anybody.

i was -- i had no one i was going to tell. >> you didn't tell the ig that some of the documents weren't going to be provided? or did you cause someone to find out at the white house at treasury or your ig? >> i did not. if you have any evidence of that i would be happy to see. it. >> i asked a question. and i answered it. >> is that kind of exchange really necessary? the issa grand standing and making it about him, perhaps? >> in looking tat aside from the issue of get together bottom of the irs scandal, i think there is also an electoral calculus here. republicans are think, i'm going to pump up the base for the 2014 midterm election. this is a bit of that theater we were talking about earlier. however, in looking at the strategy of it. there is a big danger of overreach. you know we have a lifetime until the november election response if this keeps playing out like the theater then

independents and moderates who may say, okay, there may be something here. might get turned off by this theater that is being played out if it keeps in the tenor. >> robert, what do you think? political theater? you know, is it going to backfire with issa? >> i agree with victoria. there's a potential for a little bit of political backlash here if chairman issa goes overboard. i'm not a big fan of political grand standing. everybody knows that. i detest it. however, this is a legitimate concern about the potential overreach of power with the irs. i think the chairman has the right to ask the questions. i don't think that the tone of his questions is really relevant here. >> all right. nice to see the agreement here in this part. we appreciate you being with us. >> thank you. long time new york congressman charlie rangel's political career could be in jeopardy today with a brutal primary race in new york.

he's a korean war veteran and founding member of the congressional black caucus. the shifting demographic of the district could play a huge role. nbc ron allen joins us live from harlem. let's start with this. the district has seen an increasing number of latino voters. they said 46% of the district is latino compared to 34% of tr african-americans. 3% asian. how concerned is the rangel campaign about the effect of the demographic on the poll today? >> well, they have to be concerned and they see history. they can read the numbers. there are some inevitability about this. winning at some point in the not too distant future. rangel is 84 yooergs old. he's a legendary historic figure. just a towering figure in

washington for the last number of decades until, of course, his ethics town calls-- downfalls a couple of years ago. he has been a state senator in new york. he's not a newcomer. knows how to win an election. and you're right. there's a huge hispanic population in the community. he would be the first dominican-american elected to congress. he's pushing that. last time around espaillat lost to by a vote. we're talked about 1,000 votes. this time it may be closer. charlie rangel has won 22 times. he wants one last hurrah. maybe more. this is what he does. he was out yesterday and we were with him.

he was his old self. quite a character. a lot of people think it's time for a change. >> espaillt were on the daily run down. they addressed the issue. take a listen es --s he has become a liability for the democratic party. >> i think that issue is behind us. i think we're talking about who is best qualified to serve the congress now. >> all right. is that story a major issue here? >> well, yeah. it's sort of the issue. do you want more of what you've had for the last several decades or do you want something new? that is the choice here for voters. we talked to a number of people. the turnout will be small, as it is in primary elections anywhere in the country. but, yeah, you're talking about a historic figure rangel versus a relative newcomer who has

never been elected to congress before who has the demographic shift the momentum behind him. again, some inevitability in this. that somebody will take rangel down eventually. >> a similar story line we're seeing across the country. nbc ron allen, we thank you. miami police are franticly working to find whoever opened fire at the apartment complex overnight killing two people and injuring as many as nine others. investigators have no motive and suspects. what paramedics describe a chaotic scene. five people were taken to the hospital by balancambulance. other victims arrived on their own. in london a split decision in the u.k. hacking trial. a jury found former new to the world editor guilty of conspireing to intercept communications. his former colleague rebekah brookes was acquitted of the

western sahara and zimbabwe and cuba and peru. it was amazing and i learned a lot from their examples, it made me feel like a hypocrite. i wasn't investing in my most intimate community and wasn't standing up for myself in the ways they were. >> kate is really, really good at being 0 bead yentd. she's not very good at sub gracious. she never has put up with baa loan knee about people whether it's race, religion, or academic studies. or anything where people try to put other people down. >> on march 17, 2013, i launched the website or ordainwomen.org. on the site, we state our position that mormon women should be ordained to the

priesthood. each individual person puts up a profile about their life, what being mormon means to them, and their feelings. one thing for people to understand is that all men are ordained and no women are ordained. if this changed -- the profit of the mormon church said it would be orr contained. it would effect 7 million plus women and girls worldwide. i'm being charactered with apostsee by the mormon church. i get the question a lot why do i stay within mormonism. why don't i leave? and for me, it's important to keep in mind that i'm not just doing this for myself. a young girl can't leave the church. i'm an adult, i could walk away. i could have a very fulfilling life, but this is bigger than

where they are, which is online. and communicate with them, you know, we launched our new website yesterday. it's 100% mobile friendly. it's probably the most mobile friendly website there is to register to vote. we're going make sure we're communicating a message about why it's important to actually register and participate in our process through social media, online ads, e-mail, mobile, and make sure we are reaching people are they are. >> you have to infiltrate where you know they are. twitter, facebook, instagram. let's consider history here. you look at the last few presidential elections. me less thannal turnout was done down. what's to say where they'll show up in a midterm? >> turnout is low across the board. it's not just millennials that aren't turning out to vote in a midterm elections and there are challenges to it, for sure. you have politicians who aren't talking to young people about issues they care about. there are less resources being

spent in a midterm election on voter education. just making sure people know where they should go to participate. and how to register. and then on top of that, you have people who are trying to make it more challenging to even participate by id laws in different states. making access to registration more difficult and barriers to entry is certainly not the way to get more young people participating. and so our job what we plan to do is make sure people have the information they need in order to come out and vote. >> with that divide you're talking about the tools. what are the issues as far as these young voters like the sense of urgency they will matter when it comes to voting? >> yeah, i mean, i think first of all, you have the largest generation in the united states history. our millennials. there are more millennials than baby boomers in the country. they have the power to a huge voting block. and they care about issues like the environment. women's health. higher education, student loans,

and a whole host of other issues that, you know, hopefully politicians will pay attention to. and i think that, you know, there's often thought that as young people we don't care or we are lazy. the thing is we care and our issues are important and they matter to us. and -- >> we certainly see it. rocking the vote, where the young people are. thank you very much. >> thank you for having me. and that wraps up this hour on msnbc. i'm francis rivera. next craig talks to a 9-year-old girl being a basketball fee mom. if you have moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis, like me, and you're talking to your rheumatologist about a biologic...
