that's a sthunset. beautiful enough and then the lightning in the background. there was a fireworks show at the exact same time. they were trying to get it in quickly before the storm rolled into town. made for a beautiful picture. omaha, sioux city, sioux falls, those areas have been clobbered this june. i mentioned the tropics. we are watching -- this is our first area of interest. this hurricane season. it's right next to our backyard just off the coast of florida. just north of the bahamas. it's been a spinning area of low pressure. there's already a weak storm there. it just doesn't have enough thunderstorms with it yet to be classified as a tropical depression or tropical storm arthur. but as we go throughout this week, it's going to linger near florida for about two days. then on wednesday and thursday, it's going to start drifting to the north. here's what one of our computers. this is our american computer that's called a gfs. it actually takes the system. it's that little closed circle right over south carolina. by thursday at 8:00 a.m., it starts to skyrocket up the east coast unfortunately along a frontal boundary for the fourth

of july morning, it could possibly be a tropical storm, maybe a tropical depression somewhere near north carolina beaches or virginia beach. and then as we go throughout the day, it would race up possibly into southern new england. that would be the position friday night at 9:00. near new york city, near long island. that's when the macy's fireworks are going off. so this is obviously something, richard, we're going to watch closely all week long. the potential is there. but as of now, it hasn't formed. so let's just hope it stays that way. >> july 4th tropical storm. >> we don't need anything on the fourth of july. a man caught on the beach seemingly playing with a shark. we'll show it to you. plus the incredible scene aboard a united airlines plane forced to land when an ev evacuation slide opens up in midflight.

he says it's crucial to ensure the data cannot be stolen again. snowden's year-long asylum in russia is set to expire jewuly 31st. president obama defends hillary clinton. he says her comments about being dead broke after leaving the white house will not make a difference. >> i think that hillary has been to this rodeo a bunch of times. she is in public service because she cares about the same phones that i talked to here today. >> what's been called the guns everywhere law is set to go into effect tomorrow in georgia. the controversial piece of legislation expands where licensed carriers can take their weapons. the law affects bars, churches, government buildings, schools and more. just over the weekend, nine people were shot on bourbon street in new orleans' french quarter. and in chicago, 29 people were shot between friday and sunday night. of those shot, one person died. senator wendy davis who's

running to be the governor of texas could set a new fund-raising record. she's already raised nearly $20 million. that's more than any democratic candidate who's run for governor in texas history. former president jimmy carter and bill clinton, they've got something in common. peanut farming. mr. clinton was in haiti over the weekend where he inaugurated a peanut farm project supported by his foundation. the project is expected to improve the livelihoods of more than 12,000 peanut farmers. after two months in rehab, toronto mayor rob ford is expected to return to city hall. a press release says he'll speak to the public this afternoon. councilman doug ford says his brother is a changed and slimmer man. he's reportedly dropped eight pant sizes. and that's your morning dish of "scrambled politics." all righty. i'm joined now by "washington post" reporter david nakamura. good morning. first off, the president and what is expected to be announced today when it comes to dealing with those unaccompanied children coming across the u.s./mexico border here.

what do you hear in washington, d.c., in terms of details of what this announcement might be? >> so far, richard, we haven't seen the formal letter from the white house which will come out today. but the white house has said they want more than $2 billion. that will go to probably more patrol agents, lawyers and judges to represent these women and children that are coming. they're trying to -- more detention space to handle them and probably more care. the administration obviously is a bit overwhelmed by this influx, but they want to find ways to process these cases more quickly. those who apply for a sigh lum wi asylum will get a hearing. if not, they'll be put into deportation proceedings. >> it's a tough deal for both the president and congressmen when looking at rushing out needy children, or the perception thereof, because of the increasing in processing time. will it most likely be stalled, though, as other moves on immigration have been so far to date? >> well, this is an interesting one because you've had obama and the democrats obviously pushing

for comprehensive immigration reform. but republicans in the house halting that. here you have a case where the administration's somewhat, of course, dealing with the problem but also calling republicans' bluff saying we're going to get tough here. they want changes to the statutory law that would allow the president to send back the children from central america. right now he can do that. u.s. law does not allow that for central america. he's saying let's do that. this is an interesting case that administration believes if they have any hope for comprehensive immigration reform undo the rest of this year, they need to get a handle on this situation at the border because republicans are really criticizing them. >> okay. so whether the request, whether the bill does get passed or taken to the floor or not, whether it's an executive order from the president in dealing with these children, does this bring new energy, even though those supporters have said it's pretty much dead this cycle? >> well, it was absolutely pretty much declared dead again this week. this is something that immigration's been going on now for a year and a half since the president's re-election. it's really going to be

difficult, but the administration is saying, like i said before, if there's any chance we've got to get a handle on this border situation. we'll see what the reaction is of john boehner today. his office did not respond to questions i posed the other day when this news broke because they want to see a detailed proposal. the white house has not given out all the details. they want to get tougher on smugglers as well, tougher penalties. there's a lot of moving parts. the interesting part here, richard, of course the immigration advocates are saying they're going to fight the president on this one, and they're already concerned about a lot of his deportation record. you have mixed-up alliances here that are not the usual case. we'll see what happens. i think immigration reform is probably not going to happen for sure this summer. maybe in the lame-duck session after the election. >> talking about immigration, maybe not from the idea or the perspective of immigration reform as has been discussed so far. >> the politics continue. just ahead, ward-winning actress amy adams does a most unselfish thing. then president and mrs.
