democrats. she's delivering a speech in minnesota. this is part of what the white house is calling the day in the life tour the president will spend part of the summer getting to know regular americans across the country. shaking hands, stopping by diners to show he understands the hardships of the middle class. >> sometimes it must feel discouraging because it doesn't feel like what is being talked about in washington has anything to do with your lives on the day-to-day. >> it's a calculated strategy as the white house realize the president's poll numbers, they are going down. joining me now is managing editor of msnbc.com and staff correspondent for the national journal. good morning to both of you. what is the idea here? what is the strategy. he's getting out. we've seen the tour here. he grabbed lunch at chipolte.

he went for a starbucks run and stopped to chat with a little league team. what is he doing here? they're saying to get to knowered americans. >> the president has done it ever summer it's usually with a theme. he's talked about obamacare, economy, jobs, infrastructure last summer. we are heading to the midterm. you're right about the president's poll numbers. he's right that washington is not talking about anything that is at all relevant, i think, to americans today. you know, americans are not sitting around talking about the irs. they're not talking about lois learners e-mails or many things vexing the republican side. >> will it resonate either in d.c., who he's pointing at or voters? >> i think if this strategy didn't work, each summer he wouldn't keep doing it. i think it is helpful. i think americans like to see a

president out. when george bush was a president he would sepend the summers on the ranch, i think it's a different approach. >> the numbers i was alluding to it. the latest nbc wall street journal poll, those approval ratin ratings. the lowest point. is he trying to get the 41 points to above 50 points? >> well, i mean, he's not going to be able to raise his approval numbers simply by having so-called unscripted moments. it's questionable how unscripted they are. but, you know, like, it does improve his image. it does make him feel more relateble. especially when the relationship with congress is low now. nothing resonates with everyday americans than criticizing washington and talking about how much washington is dysfunctional. just being able to connect with people. it's really a pr campaign in that sense.

but also in past summers, he's gone around the country and given a lot of speeches. this time they are trying to allow for more of these unscripted moments, interacting with folk, and, you know, even when he took that stroll to the interior department a few weeks ago here in washington, d.c., the white house center released a video of him chitchatting with people on the national mall. it made him look so relatable and you really feel for the guy. >> so if he's out there, and he's with the people chitchatting. he is, as you're talking about, taking direct aim at washington, from, if you will, out with the people. it's specifically, for instance, against speaker boehner's move 0 sue him. he's on abc this morning talking about it. >> you know the suit is a stunt. what i've told speaker boehner directly, if you're concerned about me taking too many executive actions, why don't you try getting something done

through congress? >> so is this a valid point that he's making or is it more than really a stunt and it will put a dent in the approval ratings? >> yeah, i don't think boehner's lawsuit is going to put a dent in obama's ratings. i think it's going to hurt the gop and hurt them badly. i think the democrats have been able to fundraise off it easily and quickly. president is right in both actions. he's going to take executive action where he needs it. and the fact that the gop is doing so little gives him the cover to do it anyway. >> we're talking about the numbers. you saw over a half million dollars being able to be raised. the highest online fundraising day ever. so is this all against them, the gop? is there any way of turning it around based on what boehner is doing? is he going to walk away from the lawsuit? >> highly doubt he will. he pledged to bring legislation

to the floor in july. when they come back they'll only be here for a couple of weeks before they break for august recess. it might have the potential to do something rare in washington mobilize both sides. you have these high fundraising totals coming to democratic committees, and at the same time, this lawsuit has the potential to really motivate and rally the conservative and republican base in a midterm election year. when they need them to come out and especially in the battleground states where the senate controlize in the states. so republicans might stand to benefit among their base, at the same time, it's rallying democrats and the democratic base. >> all right. thank you so much on this friday. >> thank you. if you're looking for reason why progress is not being made on capitol hill or anywhere else in official washington, don't blame it on the summer slump. instead, blame it on the world cup. and the team usa game against germany yesterday. apparently all of d.c. came to a

full stop to watch that game. the president even had the game on as he flew minneapolis for an event. once there he cheered on the team. >> i have to begin by congratulating our u.s. soccer team, team usa for advancing! next round of the world cup! we -- usa! usa! >> all right, if you think that's awkward. look at this. yeah. that's senator ted cruz outside the capitol with the flag. back in brazil, team usa resting up getting ready for the next match. the coach tweeted this a few hours ago. quote, back in our home away from home. proud to be through group of death. we aren't done yet. looking at the team's game. there's only one result to expect here, the goal keeper

said. >> so forward as hard as we can and get a victory. it makes it a little bit easier mentally. they're a good team but we feel like we stack up well against them. we're strong. we've been using the ball well. i think we're playing the best soccer the team has ever played. we're going to give as good as we get. >> nbc today show anchor is in brazil with the fans of usa. >> good morning. the u.s. men's national team continues to move on here at the world cup. they did not win in their game against germany yesterday. it is considered a victory as they got past the so-called group of death. conditions on the field yesterday were absolutely miserable with rains, even flooding there. but that didn't stop team usa from giving it their very best. the team showing a lot of grit on and off the fielded. pulling through. but still a 1-0 victory to

germany the u.s. still advances on. they play belgium on tuesday, what is also expected to be a very tough match. the belgium team considered a dark horse at the world cup returning after 12 years. they had been out of the world cup. they made it back. they have a lot of stars on their team as well. it's going to be a tough match against belgium and salvador on tuesday at 4:00 p.m. eastern. usa will continue to work through the training. later today and keep going in the fight in the world cup. >> thank you, natalie. developing right now we're getting word from the associated press that usa middle east peace is redesignin ining -- resignin. he'll return to his previous job at the brookings institution. the department is not commented on the departure. president obama is asking

congress for half billion to help the syrian opposition. that money would go toward training and arming the fighters and expands the cia current covert program going on now. the training would mostly take place in jordan or turkey. the president had long been concerned u.s. weapons and ammunition would fall into the wrong hands by arming rebels. appears to a show a new urgency with syria and iraq becoming more intertwined. bill clinton is taking a shot at cheney over the iraq war in an exclusive interview with david gregory. >> mr. cheney has been increed bli -- for the last six years or so attacking the administration for not doing an adequate job of cleaning up the mess he made. and i think it's unseemingly. i give president bush, by the way, a lot of credit for trying to stay out of the debate and letting other people work

through it. >> at an event in montana, cheney hit back saying if there is somebody who knows something about unseemingly, it's bill clinton. he added he doesn't usually take advice from clinton. quote, he doesn't call me often. you can see more this sunday on meet the press. during the visit to minnesota yet, president obama pledged to help the state recover from flooding over the past few weeks and the threat of severe weather is not over. more thunderstorms with locally heavy rainfall is expected through monday. and in alaska's national park flooding and rock slides forced officials to closed only road into the park. civilians had to be air lifted out. the story behind why the boy went missing for 11 days. was he afraid, as waid reports, because he stopped a exercise

president obama is sending a clear message to any parents in central america who are thinking of sending their children, alone, across the u.s. border. take a listen. >> our message absolutely is don't send your children unaccompanied on trains or through a bunch of smugglers. we don't even know how many of these kids don't make it and may have been waylayed into sex trafficking or killed because they fell off a train. we have no way of tracking that. >> since october, more than 47,000 minors from central america have crossed the border into the u.s. alone.

as well as more than 39,000 adults with children. we traveled to arizona and texas for a first-hand look at the crisis in a msnbc original report. we're seeing the huge influx of migrants from central america. we have about the same number of families who have been coming here for the last nine months. so the word spreading through central america is you can come here and you won't be sent home?

stay and not be able to change their circumstances. >> joining us right now is mississippi northbound contributor and documentary film maker. great report. i know we'll see more. how have things changed? we have seen it going on for weeks now? >> i think it's growing. the problem is getting worse. the more coverage it gets, the more the president is talking about it. they don't speak english. these people are from little pueblos. all they hear is america and women and children. they're flooding in. the irony they think the border patrol is there to save them. they think of them as the rescue. they get dump at the boarder fo the border patrol. they think they have arrived because they come from central america. by they time they get through mexico by the time they get there we're going help them and let them stay.

>> talk about their level of education. your sense of that. and who is giving them this information? >> people looking to exploit the situation. coyotes, the smugglers, the bad guys. and, by the way, i'm not allowed to say it. you're in the journalism business. and i think it's touching you see these women and children coming through. looking for the american dream. god bless them. there's a lot you're not seeing. those are the people that would not be allow to be filmed. they're, you know -- i worry, you know, of this. we could be facilitating human trafficking. that's my biggest fear. there are a lot of bad people coming through -- >> you can go there . we're only beat away when you talk about human trafficking. >> what is human trafficking? you talk about what border patrol is to do. there to get drugs. we're trying to get the bad guys, right. they're bringing in humans now. that's what the smugglers are doing. they're realizing this is where the money is. they had stories about how they gave every penny for them

village to get on the bus. you know what they do with the border? i went to mexico. they take a ladder. they take a bus. they drive from guatemala to the american border. they pull up at the border and put a ladder out and yell go. they jump into america and sit and wait for border patrol to arrive. >> that's $5,000. >> right. that's the family's fortune. >> how long would it take? in that experience that you're describing? >> there's a lot of -- most people -- >> from what you saw. >> a couple of weeks. the mexican government doesn't want them coming thereupon. they're trying to make it harder. they're trying to do stuff about it. >> describe what you're saying that's off camera. you were unable to show us. what is that stuff? >> you see people that have designer clothes, gold teeth, tattoos. they give you the creeps. you know. you can tell what a cartel member looks like. you've been around the block. you can tell. and they're the ones -- they're women too.

how is the border patrol going to say, you know, you're a good woman, you're a bad women. how do they know the difference? the cartel is recruiting more women now. putting them on the front line and getting them to smuggle the women through. >> you have been following the topic and said i'm going spend a week with them. what surprised you out of all of this? >> how nnaive, innocent, you think of it in midtown manhattan trying ing ting to sbekt yuliz. i've seen their homes. dirt floors, you know, they have nothing. there's gang violence, rape, all kind of bad situations. they have nothing to lose. so they would just die trying. you come and -- why would someone dump their 4-year-old child at the border? because they have nothing to lose. they're going come to america or die trying. >> so as many of our viewers know, you are related to the minority leader. >> i am. >> isn't that change?

>> did you know that? just i want to let you know, actually, the viewers knew that. what is the conversation like with this with your mom on the topic? >> said go down there. she's checking it out. i think every member of congress needs to go down there. there's no way you can understand unless you can see it. when john mccain brings people down there they stand at the good fence. in is the fence. you go, five miles out of town and it's barbed wire. everybody needs to go down there and think, this is me. i think the securing the border is hoax. i think there's no way to secure the border. i think it is something that is said to make us feel better. there's no way you can prevent the people from coming. you have to come up with better solutions than building a fence. that's a fairy tale solution. anyone that goes there can figure it out.

i tell everybody of congress that. go down there and check it out. it is a humanitarian crisis. >> alexandria pelosi. she realized she was related to the minority leader. hard to believe it's been a year since the senate passed an immigration bill. senators are pushing the president to act unilaterally. house republicans not on board. >> they're afraid of the tea party. they're afraid of the word amnesty, even though our bill is not amnesty at all but rush limbaugh said it enough. they're afraid their primary voters, who skew far right believe it. >> monday is the last supreme court decision day. we're expecting a big one. hobby lobby, the case involving obamacare, religion, and birth control mandate. how the decision can impact you. that's coming up next.

one decision day left as the supreme court and one major opinion yet to be handed down.

this could have far reaching consequences for obamacare. we're talking, of course, about hobby lobby. the chain craft store launching a religion-based balance to the health care law. joining me right now is pete williams. today not in front of the supreme court. you had a busy week so far. what is at stake here? >> well, it depend on how far the court goes. what happens is, hobby lobby and a couple of companies have one thing in common. they're owned by faemts. the families have very serious religious views that say that providing contraceptive coverage, as bureaucraobamacare requires, would be the equivalent of abortion. can a for-profit corporation does it have religious views and can it say that its religious views should be able to allow it -- should excuse it from having to violate the religious

views by providing the coverage. those are the two questions they have to answer. and of course, it could be a big deal depending how far reaching the court goes in saying that a for-profit company can have religious views. the court has never said so in the past. there's no dispute that the owners of the company, the individuals have religious views, the obama administration says it's not the individuals buying the insurance. it's the corporation. corporations are at arm's length, and they don't have religious views so they shouldn't be able to win here. it could be a big deal if the court does agree with the folks who are suing here. >> pete, what do you know about the leanings or the thoughts of the justices, and who might be in play in answering those questions that you just brought up? >> well, we have to base this entirely on what the justices have said about the case, which only is during the oral argument. justice kennedy, for example, seemed on the one hand to be concerned about the women who

work for the companies that would deprive them of the coverage they want. on the other hand, he said to the government's lawyer, if you're right here, then these companies could be required to pay for abortions if it came to that. so he seemed to be concerned about both sides. chief justice roberts seemed to be wanting to find a middle ground when you have companies like these that are closely held family-owned corporations. the members of the family have strongly held religious views perhaps they should be able to win. can the court find that kind of middle ground? can it confine the decision? that's one of the things we'll be looking to. >> it's largely thought it'll happen on monday. is there a possibility it won't happen on monday? >> there's always that possibility. here is why, all we know is that the supreme court will hand down the rest of the decisions that are ready on monday. in theory, it could say, you know, we're not ready to decide this case. we're going to hold it over for next year. it's done that recently. that's what it did when it

decided the big citizens united case about corporate and labor money in politics. we didn't think that was going to happen. it was a big surprise. so it could happen. but given the stakes here, given the fact the law is in effect now does seem pretty likely that the court will decide the case on monday. >> all right. a lot of folks are thinking it might happen. pete williams, thank you. nbc justice correspondent with the latest. we'll see you on monday no doubt. coming up the detroit boy found after 11 days may have gone into hiding for fear of being punished. was he scared simply because he stopped a strict exercise regime? that's what our affiliate is reporting. stick with us. vious. captain: and here's a tip. when you save money on hotel rooms, it's just like saving money on anything else that costs money. like shoes, textiles, foreign investments, spatulas, bounty hunters, javelins...

top democrats are sending a sharp warning to house republicans who oppose immigration reform act soon or the president will act alone. >> i hope they understand we're

not bluffing by setting a legislative deadline for them to act. >> if we don't have some indication in the month of july there will be a hearing or there will be a bill scheduled for the floor, it seems that there's little chance for us to pass such a bill. >> i don't know how much more time he thinks he needs, but i hope that speaker boehner will speak up today and if he does not, the president will borrow the power that is needed to solve the problems of immigration. all right joining us right now democratic strategies keith boykin and danny margus. today is the one-year anniversary since the senate passed that bipartisan immigration reform legislation. so they're talking about executive orders. we know that was in the realm of possibilities here. but are they good or bad for immigration reform?

>> i think in the long-term executive order won't be the ult mates solution. i think it's a necessary first step. the president has the legal authority to take such action. a lot of ways the president can act. he can use prosecutorial discretion, use some sort of parole discretion. and there's other ways the president can actually move on this as he did before in 2012 with the daca bill. i think congress has shown, at least the senate part, there's a willingness, legislatively, to do something. and the only person really who is stopping any kind of change from happening is john boehner. john boehner would stop filing frivolous lawsuits and shutting down government we could get something done on one piece of legislation that the american people want. >> you may have read the article. president obama delayed any potential changes to the deportation policy to allow house gop leaders time to bring legislation to the floor this summer. but if republicans don't act in

july the democrats are saying unilateral changes by obama are inevitable, end quote. from the hill. when you look at the strategy. given the strategy you have seen from the house leadership today, do republicans gain more by doing nothing really at this moment? >> well, i think it's a shame, frankly. i've been a strong supporter of immigration reform. i think we have to have immigration reform for the needs of our economy and security, and the best thing for our society, frankly. i think republicans stand to lose more if they don't move forward with some kind of a solution. look, i think we need to have immigration reform. not because i'm a latino but a capitalist. i think we need it for our security. wi republicans need to be able to move forward with the solution. the middle step up and force the reluctant officials to walk toward solutions and not let them dominate the debate. >> it seems that doing nothing

is better than doing something. >> i don't think so. when it goes beyond if we don't move with a solution we will lose not just a hispanic vote but all voting blocks that believe immigration reform is necessary. we can say goodbye to the white house for a generation if we don't move forward with solutions. >> keith, you were mentioning the issue of the executive order. the president here -- speaker boehner intending to sue president obama over executive orders. with that in the background, does this kind of cool any plans for the president to move alone on immigration reform? >> i don't think it should. i think the president has the legal authority. it's been written, discussed before. before he has prosecutorial options, deferred action which took place a couple of years ago, and parole is a option. there's plenty of ways he can move forward to issue executive order to give the judicial -- excuse me the prosecutorial

discretion of the department of justice to take action appropriately or the immigration and customs inforenforcement. we need to slow down for a second and think about how long the process has been going on. we've been talking about it for years. the senate acted, like you said, a year ago by overwhelming vote. and i think if the president can't get something done, then he has a responsibility, a constitutional obligation to do something. >> executive action won't replace legislative action. the president acting on his own will only make it harder for the republicans in congress to move forward with legislation to move the process forward. >> i agree sort of what you're saying. there's no possibility anything is going to happen. the real city that the evangelical in the right wing have been pushing for this. they won't listen to john boehner to them.

-- there's time for political courage. we have seen republicans that moved forward with an argument with a sensible solution. lindsey graham and others have moved forward. i think there's an opportunity. >> a lot of energy on the friday. thank you, both. appreciate the discussion on immigration reform. >> thank you. more than a day after a 12-year-old detroit boy. we talk about his story. they found him hiding in the basement. the story is taking another twi twist. he may have run away after the strict exercise regime. the boy had to complete thousands of strides on an elliptical without stopping. nbc is in detroit with what sounds like a strange story here, ron. >> hey, richard. it gets more interesting by the hour. here is where we're at this moment. police say the young boy, charlie, was checked out the

hospital. he was released into the custody of his mother and her family away from the location here. in the meantime yesterday the stepmother got arrested on an unrelated charge. they trare trying to piece together what happened. he may have feared punishment from his father for not finishing his daily workout routine. 4,000 strides on an elliptical machine. >> i'm glad he's safe. i'm thankful. >> his father didn't have much to say publicly as questions swirled around the discovery that he was in the basement 11 days after he disappeared. he was back on tv with nancy grace thursday night. >> nancy, i want to thank you for bringing the attention. >> this time on the phone. >> why won't let police you see the boy. where is he? >> i'm breaking the no comment rule. i was briefly on the phone when he called my mother. >> 24 hour earlies he learned he

was alive when grace told him. >> we're getting reports that your son has been found in your basement! sir? are you --? what? >> how could your son be alive in your basement? >> i -- i have -- i have no idea. >> police discovered the boy while serving a search warrant on the home. earlier searches revealed blood traces leading police to think that young charlie could be in danger. >> when authorities came, i was here. they were all over the house. >> police found the 12-year-old in the family's basement similar in layout and size to a neighbor's basement shown here. police say charlie was kroumcro

down in storage room concealed by boxes. there was bedding along with food and drinks inside the small space. late thursday, police arrested the boy's stepmother for probation violation over unrelated weapons charge. her two young children were removed from the young where charlie lived with his father. just moments ago, that stepmother appeared in court with her attorney. her attorney said it's been a nightmare for this stepmother and her husband here over the past two weeks or so. that the two children, the state has taken into the custody are autistic. she's concerned about them. she's not a flight risk in any way, shape, or form. in the meantime, we're hearing the police department are close to turning over the case file to the prosecution's office. it could happen as soon as today and maybe tomorrow. that could mean that criminal charges might be in the works here. amazon has changed the way we shop. can they keep pushing that envelope, though?
