a meeting with kurdish leaders. secretary kerry tried to persuade the kurdish president to instead help prime minister maliki form -- set by iraq's institution. just a week from today. but the kurdish told kerry, quote, we are facing a new reality and iraq. after of the meeting secretary kerry told andrea mitchell the kurdish president agreed to cooperate. >> in this moment, he's going to participate within the government sf government formation process. he's committed, yet again, to find the means of having the unity government. the proof will be in the pudding as of july 1st as to whether or not they get the job done and get it done quickly. iraqi forces called in ire strikes again today amendmented at sunni insurgents.

they're locked in a battle over iraq's largest oil refinery. that key facility has been under threat for nearly two weeks now. all of this with isis now controlling almost all of the border with syria. within days the first team of those u.s. special forces will be on the ground in iraq. that's where we find nbc ayman joining us live from the northern city where secretary of state kerry met with the kurdish leaders. good to see you. the kurds are the one iraqi group to emerge strong from the isis advance. they hold a key city of kirkuk. they want to create their own state. will it join the new coalition of government? by all measures they will. not necessarily under the leadership of maliki. that's the challenge. when we talk about the politics

of what is happening now in iraq, there is, according to iraq's constitution a power sharing mechanism that will bring kurds and others to the tables. one of the things that the kurdsish leadership has told nbc news they want to see prime minister maliki go. we've heard as well over the course of the last several days some of the same cause being echoed by senior members of his political party as well as some of the country's top leadership. the question is whether or not he's going to heed the calls and step aside and let somebody else try to form the government. he's going have the mandate to form the government. whether or not people will rally behind him once that cabinet is formed. i think that's the question that secretary of state john kerry was alluding to more and more importantly what kind of government is going to look like with representation from a cross section of iraq's society. >> the deadline for maliki to form the government, it's a week

away. what are the odds the deadline is going to be met? >> well, the constitution allows for a few different phases. first, the president of the country has to call in the parliament and then once the parliament seats then they can begin to form the cabinet. it is going to be a lot of power broker. a lot of, you know, back room negotiations. i think personally that it may be difficult to meet that july deadline with the intense pressure that is being put right now on the government unless there's a tremendous amount of comprise. one of the things that we've seen so far from prime minister maliki is a lot of comprise. at least some of his critics have been saying there's a lack of comprise. you know, as you mentioned a week away. it's going to be a tight deadline to form a new government that is inclusive and represents the sunni arab minority as well as the predominant groups in this country. >> what more can you tell us about what is happening in on the ground in that country today? >> well, the iraqi army continues its air strikes. the prime minister was effectively raising the ranks of all the soldiers who have been

stationed at the oil refinery. because they've been able to put up a fight. they did concede that some of the buildings are in the hands of isis militants. but the overall refinery remains firmly in the hands of the iraqi army and as a result those soldiers that have been defending and say the military says their ranks will be promoted at least by one degree. but at the same time isis forces in the city of mosul have been showing a display of force moving around the artillery to try to reinforce positions. that's what we're hearing on the ground. >> ayman in northern iraq. thank you. i want to bring in democratic congresswoman and iraq war veteran tammy duckworth. she was deployed there. one of the first army women to fly combat missions and lost both her legs when the helicopter was shot down in 2004. congresswoman, it's good to see you. thank you for being with us.

the first of those 300 u.s. special forces being sent in as advisers set to hit the ground in iraq within days. they could be used to call in air strikes, we're told. i want to play a snippet of what secretary kerry told andrea mitchell about the mission today. >> what we're trying to do here is assess what are the capabilities of the iraqi military. what is the situation on the ground? how much is there? all the the different options want wrchith respect what you mt do about them. that will inform the president and the national security team to make judgments. >> do you support president obama's decision to send new new advisers? do you sport air strikes being used at all? >> i don't support air strikes at this time. because i don't think people understand log gistic tale that comes with the air strikes. the 300 special forces are

there. let's be sure we know how to extract them when we need to. there's not a military solution that the u.s. can employ to solve what is essentially a political problem in iraq. if we're going to get involved, i want to know how long are we going to be there and when are we going to leave? >> could military force be part of a larger solution? >> it could be. again, i think we need to understand what air strikes entails. people sort of think that an air strike is you send in fighter pilots and they shoot things down and then they leave and go back to the base in italy or qatar. that's not it. you have down aviator contingency plans. do we have a team that can extract the folks? how are we going to extract 300 special forces troops there? we have started growing our logistical footprints with the 300 service-members. let's be sure we understand how large a commitment it is for the united states before we start saying things like let's send in

jet fighters or drones or whatever it is. it's a real commitment. >> what about prime minister maliki? what about the idea any sort of long-term solution has to be predicated upon him not being a part of power sharing? >> i think he's the cause of how iraq got to be where it is right now. i think he should be removed from power. there needs to be an agreement or his position is lessen and more of a coalition government in iraq in terms of the other ethnic groups. the not just the shia but the sunni, the kurds, the christians all have a say in their running of the their government. because he has pushed out anybody who is not a shia is how we have gotten to the place now. >> congresswoman, is this where you thought we would be? >> no. it's not where i thought we would be. i thought when we left with the government that we had helped them to set up that had representation from the ethnic minority there was an opportunity at that point in

time for iraq to move forward but, you know, unfortunately mr. maliki decided to listen to the iranian allies and push out the nonshia groups. this has lead to the position in iraq right now. he's part of the political problem. he's not part of the solution. >> we em bolded him to a certain extent. you could concede that? >> we supported him and didn't push harder for him to keep the minorities in government. i think it's important that he is not part of the solution. because he's proven that he's been part of the problem all along. it needs to be understood separately from u.s. military intervention in iraq. we can't be going into iraq with no understanding what the political solution is going to be. and with no contingency planning to take care of our troops when they come home. i'm not willing to make that kind of a commitment of u.s. resources not just national treasures in terms of dollars

and aircraft. but the lives of the men and women who are willing to die when the nation asked them to. and i'm not willing to put the men and women in harm's way for a guy who can't run his own government. >> congressman tammy duckworth. we'll leave it there. we appreciate your insight and perspective. thank you. in the next hour you can watch andrea mitchell's full interview on "andrea mitchell report." it's here on msnbc. authorities in nigeria are trying to confirm they kidnapped women and boys. they say the abductions took place in villages saturday controlled by the extremist group. they are holding nearly 300 schoolgirls kidnapped on april 15th it's blamed for a wave of attacks this year that have so far killed some 2,000 people. also, developing right now for the second time in less than 12

hours, house republicans are interrogating witnesses about thousands of lost irs e-mails. jennifer o'connor a white house attorney worked as contincounse irs and supervised data collection during the investigation of the irs targeting conservative groups. in the opening question last hour darrell issa told o'connor, outright, she was a hostile witness. >> so they hired you as soon as we said we want a bunch of documents, correct? >> mr. werfel. >> yes or no, please. you're a hostile witness. were you hired? >> i'm not a hostile witness. >> yes, you are. >> today's hearing comes after an especially nasty one from late last night. they were outraged after the commissioner told them that they knew that lois learner's e-mails

not being able to retrieved in april. >> why did you wait so long? >> we were going to wait until we produced all of lois learner's e-mails. >> no. no. hey, you can't give us all the e-mails. you lost some. don't give me that satatement. >> i didn't say i would provide e-mails that disappeared. i said i would provide the e-mails. we are providing all the e-mails. the fact that three years ago, some of them, not all of them, but some of them were not available. i never said i would provide e-mails we didn't have. in fact, we are going to provide you 24,000 e-mails from the time -- >> any time is expired i've lost my patience with you. >> you can't testify here under oath that no crime was committed. >> inspector generaled -- >> i'm asking you do yo have any ability to say no crime has been committed? >> i have the ability to say i have seen no evidence of any crime. >> of course. >> luke joins me live from the hill. luke, first of all, any new information expected to come out

today? >> so far we haven't seen anything. that's because with the house gop strategy is right now is to tie miss o'connor, the counselor who used to be for the irs commissioner. she worked may to december of 2013. because she works the white house, they believe there's a direct connection between the irs scandal and the white house. there's never been an explicit one made. take a listen to jim jordan a republican from ohio said to her this morning. >> we asked you to come to the hearing a week ago. in the week you didn't ask like, what happened here? we learned in april the congress didn't learn until june. >> the letter i received from chairman issa said the reason you wanted to talk to me was to understand what i learned at my time at the irs. i didn't not have much time to prepare. i prepared to tell you. >> you didn't think to ask about the fact that the white house new in april and the house

doesn't know until june? >> now, oh connor's point is the white house knew about the lost learner e-mails in april the irs was aware. there are discussions about whether or not how much the white house was aware. because she worked last year before the lost e-mails were even heard about she had nothing to do with this. the other point you saw from the irs commissioner what's night that o'connor has been making and other folks have been making there are 24,000 lost e-mails from found people lois learner was e-mails. it's whether or not the groups were politically targeted and the irs office in cincinnati. what you're seeing here, again, the gop is going on the offensive because this is a red meat to the base. they're trying to establish a direct link between the white house and what happened with lois learner in the office of cincinnati. so far, though, from watching the hearing, and going backwards, it's hard to find that direct link, craig. >> all right. we'll leave it there.

breaking news right now. lebron james and his talents may be leaving south beach. there are multiple reports that the miami heat star has exercised a clause in his contract that allowings him to become a free agent july 1st. the four-time mvp was due to make about $20 million this season after the heat's lost to the spurs in the championship. james did say he was looking forward to the kind of flexibility that free agency offers. all of that said, there is still a chance, al bee it a small chance. we'll keep an eye on that. two of the country's most senior lawmakers fighting for their political lives. while longevity may have the place. 72% of americans do not think that most members of congress deserve to be re-elected. we are live in harlem and live in mississippi.

also, ahead. >> it is a vivid reminder that this is a humanitarian issue as much as it is a matter of border security. >> just moments ago, the homeland security chief announced he may be sending even more agents to the border after he visits there tomorrow. all of this as a house underway focussed on the thousands of undocumented and unaccompanied children coming into this country. also this morning, was it a hoax? a woman's claim that she and her granddaughter was asked to leave kfc because the literal girl's scars may not be true. shocking new revelation is one of the stories we're following around the news nation. don't forget you can join our conversation online. you can find us@tamronhall on twitter. we're on facebook, twitter, and instagram, too. ♪

developing right now. the federal government may be seconding more agents to the board we are mexico to help deal with the massive surge of unaccompanied children crossing from mexico and central america. jay johnson made the announcement before testify agent the house hearing. the hearing is underway right now. law makers are trying to figure out how to tackle the issue which has the potential to be a turning point in the ongoing immigration debate in this country. in his testimony, johnson stressed this issue involves an unprecedented number of children. >> this is a humanitarian issue. as much as it is a matter of border security. we're talking about large numbers of children without their parents who have arrived at our border, hungry, thirsty,

exhausted, scared and vulnerable. how we treat the children in particular is a reflection of our laws and our values. >> that hearing comes after the white house friday announced that about 52,000 unaccompanied miners have been apprehended along the southwestern border this year along. the number is on track to reach 90,000 by the end of the year. on top of that, as of may, about 39,000 adults with children were apprehended. secretary johnson is set to travel to the border himself to visit border patrol agents set to deal with the crisis. joining me now national director of the dream coalition and former president of the arizona dream coalition. er can, good to see you. you have been open about your personal struggle as an undocumented immigrant. we keep hearing the chance of any immigration reform is dead in the house. now the administration is

sounding the alarm about the massive number of unaccompanied children and children with adults. the images of families in crowded detention facilities. wh what, if anything -- >> thank you for having me on your show. you know, i think that we are in a difficult situation when it comes to legislation. congress has not been able to pass anything for the past couple of years. and, you know, for us, in the immigration rights movement, we understand that. we also understand there is other solutions that can happen now to be able to bring relief. to the folks we have now here in the u.s., people like my family, from the president, you know, president does have abilities to bring relief to families who are undocumented. who, you know, could possibly -- stop deportations and be able to

expand the current program that allows undocumented youth to be here. which is called a deferred action. >> wouldn't that make it worse, perhaps? how would stopping deportations how would that help resolve the current crisis on the border? >> you know, there is a difference between what is happening, you know, here in the u.s. we do have 11 million people who are here undocumented. we also have a crisis, you know, across the world. not only in this country we have a crisis in central america. the reality is that a lot of these folks that are coming in. a lot of children actually central american. and there is a really big crisis in hon door russ and central america overall especially with el salvador. i think we need to figure out a way to also, how can we stop the violence in those countries? how can the u.s. do that? you still have 11 million people

who have been here for a long time who also need to be, you know, take -- taken care of. >> some have criticized what they view as lax immigration policies under the president as the cause. this is what homeland security congressman michael said during a hearing. >> these children are making a dangerous journey based on misinformation and the false promise of amnesty. these conditions are not new. what is new is a series of executive actions by the administration to grant immigration benefits to children outside the per view of the law. the relaxed enforcement posture along with talk of comprehensive immigration reform. it is beyond dispute that a narrative shapes behavior and encouraging people to come to our country illegally. >> that was from this morning. i want to get your response to that. >> you know i think there's going to be a lot of people who

are going to be blaming a lot of what is happening to, you know, whatever policies have to have the president change. some of the folks will be pointed to the deferred action or what the president announced. but reality is, that, you know, i came as a child. i didn't come by myself. i came with my family. but folks don't necessarily come because they know what is happening in the u.s. they congresswoman -- come because they're running away from something of their origin. the reason we ran away from mexico is because my mother was being domestically abused and the police, instead of helping us, were helping my father go against us and be able to abuse us. so, you know, it's not necessarily that we knew what was happening in the u.s. the law were changes. there was a promise of immigration reform. we were running away from something that was causing us harm. whatever happens here has to happen to be to be address the people already in the u.s.

who are going to contribute to the country. but at the same time figure out what is happening in central america and how can we help there as well. >> we'll leave it there. thank you. zblampbl zblampblts. a new push and a big name to fight chicago's deadly epidemic of violence. >> mainly innocent kids are being gunned down for no reason whatsoever. that's the daughter ali. teaming up with the boxing club to put kids on the right path. san francisco officials say several new apps that allow drivers to hold public parking spots hostage for cash? those say the apps are kicking up with the times. the government said not so much. it's the news nation gut check. ♪fame, makes a man take things over♪ ♪fame, lets him loose, hard to swallow♪

campaigning. cochran supporters have been courting african-american democrats. many of whom are eligible to vote in the rinoff in mississippi. casey hunt has been following the race from hatties burg. it has been an intense race, to say the least. not looking good for senator cochran a few weeks ago. has anything changed over the last few days that could swing things back in his favor? >> i think his campaign has changed overall strategy. they have sort of rallied all of the troops around him. everyone from, as you mentioned, john mccain brett favre to mcconnell in washington holding fund-raiser. the money poured in for cochran. cochran himself hasn't been taking leading role. he doesn't speak very much at campaign events. he shakes hands with voters. the people around him have stepped up and focus order the ground game. the primary three weeks ago gave them a look at where they needed

to bring out more votes. that's what they've been focussing on. they talked about the strategy of broaden ought the lek trait. the ads they've been running have been focussed on saying that cochran will be good for mississippi. a change from when they were airing anti-obamacare ads. he's drawn criticism for reaching out to democrats or supporters reach out to democrats. many of the democrats in mississippi are african-american. so they -- have been ads run in african-american newspapers. mcdaniel said it's a disingenious strategy. at worst illegal. if they voted three weeks ago, they're not allowed to vote for a republican today. >> and we wait. thank you. i appreciate. we're following another tight primary race. this one in new york city. congressman charlie rangel is seeking a 23 term in office.

facing off three democrat s including es pe es pea yat. ron allen in harlem with the latest. went down to the wire. rangel came out on top then. what is the mood at rangel's camp today? >> well, hopeful and expecting a win. what else would he say? given the things he's been accomplishing since '70s. now 44 years later, another -- as you recall, young upstart state senator espaillat is trying to unseat him. last time 1,000 votes. this time espaillat say he has a

better ground game and constitutional backing. and from teachers and other unions. local officials are coming up for him. he thinks he can make the difference. of course, the background of this, the big development here is the demographic shift. harlem, the bronx, upper west side of manhattan it's becoming a much more hispanic population. less african-american and white. and that works in the dominican-american espaillat's favor. it's believed he has a big advantage in the polls. it seems to be the case. interestingly today when rangel went to vote he said it was the last time he'll go to vote for himself. if he wins he's in. if he loses next time around it seems to be espaillat's chance against a wide open field. the other candidate that is making noise is a local pastor. pastor michael walldrin. a local church who is making his first run for public office.

it's perhaps a four-way race. rangel against history, if you will. he's been there so long. you can't imagine congress without him. but things change. of course, he's had ethics problem in a last few years. it's been humiliating and knocked him off the pedestal, to some extent. and people supporting espaillat said it's time for a change and time to move on. polls are open until 9:00 p.m. could be a close race down to the wire. last time it was contested not only within 1,000 votes but contested as well. we'll see. thank you. more developing news on capitol hill. john boehner making it clear he fully intends to be the house speaker next year. for many of the year there are questions swirling over whether he would continue holding the job in the house. and the speculation intensified. this is what a speerk boehner
