the challenge is, is congress prepared to act to put the resources in place to get this done? >> this issue is one of trust and the american people do not trust this president and they do not trust this congress to seal the border. >> a large part of his district runs along the border in south texas. congressman, thank you so much for your time. >> thank you so much. >> as i understand it, representatives from the white house paid you a visit yesterday to talk about your concerns with the situation at the border. what can you tell me about that meeting? >> i would just say we had a very positive, constructive meeting to talk about how we can move forward on the issue of securing the border and how do we fund the request that the president has, i certainly want

to work with the president, but i certainly still want him to go downing to the border. apparently he's not going to go this time, apparently he's made the decision already. i wants to open the invitation, where sometime in the future he should go down there and talk to these kids, so he can leek at these helpful children that have traveled 1,000 miles or more. i think this is a humanitarian crisis and homeland security issues that we have at the bo d border. >> let me play this video about why he's not visiting the border. >> there's nothing taking place down there that i am originally aware of. i'm not interested in photo-ops,

i'm interesting in solving the problem. >> he wants to put your colleagues in congress to act rather than focus on an image that might be splashed across a few papers, but ultimately will not address what you point out what appears to be a humanitarian crisis. >> i have been to lack land air force base, where we have the kids. there are no photographs, nobody's interested in photographs, but i think, like any crisis, i think a commander should go down there and, not only see the children that are there, hung dreads and thousands of them. i should thank the border patrol that works so hard to secure the border. and number three, what about the poor areas of the border where there are nonprofits and churches that are out of their generosity are helping. this is not a rich area of the country and i think for those

reasons he should go see what i have seen there more than once. >> governor perry says the american people don't trust the president, he also said they don't trust congress. the president says he ask prepared to act. how prepared do you believe your colleague, especially those across the aisle, the house republicans are to acting and doing something legislatively that can address this issue? >> well, you know, there's two issues here, one is we have to make a change to the human trafficking act of 2008, hopefully we can do this in a bipartisan way, number one, number two, we have got to look at the proposal that the president is talking about, and the funding and i'm hoping as a member of the appropriations working with democrats and the republicans, we can come up with something that will address the issue, the tension, taking care of these kids that are down there and working with those countries so we can return them safely in safe hands to those countries. >> all right, congressman, thank you so much for your time, we

greatly appreciate it. now let me bring in dallas county judge clayton who's help -- of the children who's crossed into the u.s. in dallas county. he sat in on the round table meeting in dallas with governor perry and other local leaders. before we discuss the campaign to help some 2,000 children, let me get your thoughts on the meeting yesterday, do you believe there was some progress made on, do you have any hope that a solution is on the horizon? >> we had a constructive hour and 15 minute meeting, we talked about the issues in detail. and i feel like progress was made, but let me say this, here in dallas county, we have a job to do, we're skpdoing our job t president was fully engaged, he's doing their job.

respectfully to the congressman, i would say it's time for you in congress to do your job. we need to pass that supplemental. for those of you who are concerned about the children and everyone should be because these are children, these are not aliens, these are not terrorists, they're children like your children and my children. and 1 $.8 bi.8 billion of this supplemental goes towards having compassion for these children, 1.6 billion goes towards better securing our border. surely we can agree that we need a secure border and we need to have compassion and decency to children. >> you and i both know that everyone does not see it through the lens you view this. i mean you've got a meeting yesterday in vasser, michigan, where people spoke out against a plan to house some of those children that you have reached

out to assist. you saw the drama play out in california, at the detention center, when the busses were forced to turn around after angry residents said they did not want these children and women in many cases in their communities. i don't want to ask why people process things differently, because there are a million reasons to that. but when you see someone like a glen beck, a conservative hero and his own audience turning against him, some of them when he says he wants to reach out to help these children. how do you process that? >> i think that people need to put their partisan politics aside and if you want to listen to a leader, go ask your faith leader what you should do in a situation where children are alone and feel abandoned and are terrified in overcrowded conditions, where there are 30 children in a glass holding cell, pressing their faces against the glass so they can

see their brothers and sisters who are moved away from them. where there are babies crying for their mother while being changed by border patrol agents and it smells like body odor because the children aren't bathed more than every few days, and ask yourself, what's the right thing to do? what does your bible tell you? what does the words on the statue of liberty tell you? what do your american values tell you? if we stop looking at these children as others and invaders and aliens and we look at them as children and as human beings, then we'll know how to handle this humanitarian crisis. >> just quickly i have to ask you, your constituents say you're turning a federal problem into a dallas county problem. what do you say to those critics. >> we're standing up for the government to provide services at their expense. we're doing what we do best,

we're literally a port in the storm when there's a hurricane on our coast and we're good at compassionnd these children need to be loved and they need to understand that they're not prisoners, that they're children. we can do that and i hope that although we can't help all the children, we're going to help some and perhaps others will step up p and help as well. >> all right, judge, thank you so much for your time, we greatly appreciate it. >> thank you. >> nbc news white house continue chris jansing is traveling with president obama. what more can you tell us about this portion of his trip before he heads back out? >> reporter: i can tell you that the doors have just opened here and that people who have been waiting since the middle of the night are going to go in and what we'll be listening for of course is to see whether he says anything more about the border crisis or about immigration in general. lo look, this is gob to be a shift now, because while the president has been traveling, the question

has been will the president go to the border? me said he wouldn't. governor rick perry is down there, but now the question is what is going to happen next? you heard from rick perry, you heard from john boehner who said this is about sending national guard troops to the border. i just talked with josh ernest, the press secretary. he said the president is willing to do that, but the better way is to approve this $2.7 billion request. you just heard the heart felt comments, so the question is what ands next for these children. senators are going to be growing some of the key members of the administration including the homeland security secretary, about what should happen here. that's where the debate moves now. away from the optics of this, will he or won't he go to the border? 242 miles away from where i'm standing and what do we actually do to deal with this crisis,

we're following developing news out of iraq. the government of iraq notified the united nations that the militant group isis was able to obtain low grade uranium. new comments at least from u.s. officials on the level of concern here for them.

>> reporter: that's right, tamron, good morning and there's been some confusion for the morning over exactly how much of a threat this theft of uranium poses, not least because the iraqi government wrote to the u.n. warning that body that this uranium had been -- that's the reason why the west should get more involved in iraq. but we're now hearing from the iraqi foreign ministry that small samples have been taken. we're also talking to an expert from the international atomic energy authority who is saying that this kind of uranium would be bad at making a bomb that wouldn't spread radio active material very effectively. they're also saying that it does not present a significant safety, security or nuclear p

proliferation risk. the confusion appears to be being cleared up. what it does demonstrate is that isis storming across iraq, storming across the city, going into the university there, got hold of some of this material, show what is a risk there is from isis, clearly with their eyes still on baghdad, here, the capital. >> thank you very much for that and we're also following some developing news that we just received from the middle east. and a.p. is reporting within the past few minutes, air raid sirens are wailing across jerusalem signaling palestinian militants have fired a rocket at the city. two bombs could be heard in the distance, it was not clear whether the explosions were incoming rockets or defense system. it all comes as israel launched

are a couple of headlines when sarah palin mayor may not have been trying to angle a job on the view. this is interesti ing as are th other people on this list. >> the big take awake from this story is the people who disappeared from this whole political arena, either by choice or if they have retired. the public sometimes says we have had enough. and that's certainly true for sarah palin in this poll. it was more than six in ten democrats said they have had enough of sarah palin, a majority of independents and even nearly four in ten republicans said that. but of course there were other folks as well, they said 51% said they heard enough of jesse jackson, you had 45% dick cheney, 40% al gore. maybe the most interesting surprise of all was just 32% said they had had enough of bill clinton. which i were you were hillary clinton or democrats wanting her candidacy is, that shows that

the -- >> on that list, it's like the two chief critics of the president dick cheney and sarah palin and newt gingrich, these are taking up the top four spots here. >> that's right. but again, i think it goes back to these people who have left the political stage. sarah palin did it very famously when she left her job as alaska governor. when you do something like that, you decide not to run for president in 2012, people don't listen to you as much. she does still have a segment of the republican party. >> let's talk about the president wrapping up this visit to texas yesterday having strong words for congress and a lack of action as it relates to this immigration crisis on the border and not really getting in and getting caught up on some of the hype about whether he should be at the border or not. >> they have been hit with the media about the optics about

having a fund-raiser in texas but not going down to the border. president obama has had some criticism. you saw last night was president obama trying to turn back the discussion, the tables back to congress saying they need to be able to letting slate to help fix this, that congress needs to be part of the solution here, so the president talks about hid policy, let's make cher the policy fixes work more than all the attention on the up optics whether the president should be on the border or not. >> it sounds as if it would be in the end, you can take a photograph, you can have optics matter but without congress acting, this conversation goes nowhere. >> i think that's right. and of course, i think the president's doing his best to be able to turn the subject back to congress, but the presidency has always been the biggest focus of things. what grabs headlines the president or the congress.

when things turn into a big partisan fight when people are pointing fingers at things. when you have the president focusing on congress, it doesn't get the headlines as it does when the president is right in the center of the story. >> mark, it's a great pleasure having you on. now to a bizarre story of a surprise arrest in the case of a google executive and father of five who was found dead on his yacht last november. police say 26-year-old alex tickleman is a high priced call girl who left forest haste to dpi after injecting him with heroin and then having a drink before she left his boat. >> reporter: the first court appearance for 26-year-old alex catherine tickleman facing drug and obstruction charges and the main count. >> count two, felony manslaughter.

team. however, he also just instagramed this picture with his ohio high school teammates. others are reading closely into what that means. hilarious. just this morning the cleveland cavaliers officially completed a three-team trade that would clear more cap space to lure lebron back to his native ohio. but there's still the question of whether he would be welcomed back after leaving so many fans heartbroken when he took his talents, as he said, to south beach in 2010. what does your gut tell you? should lebron take his talents back to cleveland with the cavaliers? go to newsnation.msnbc.com to cast your vote. i say go back to cleveland. take a look at what "news nation" is saying about yesterday's gut check on the comments prince fielder is getting from his magazine cover. just because you're big doesn't mean you can be an athlete and

just because you work out doesn't mean you'll have a six-pack. do you agree with those comments? 98% said yes and 4% said no. it is all about muscle power. look at football players, wrestlers, discuss throwers, et cetera. i think prince's representation of body types is right on. we need to look at this with the same type of diversity as we look at skin color. the primetime emmy award nominations were announced this morning. and hbo's "game of thrones" leading the way with 19 nods. other shows coming up big include "fargo" mini series with 18 nominations and "american horror story" with 17. several fan favorites getting a lot of buzz is "orange is the new black" and "house of cards." and "true detective" picked up best nod for woody harrelson and matthew mcconaughey.

joining me to break it all down, awards editor pete hammond. thanks for your time. >> sure. good to be here. let's talk about the good news before the wrinkle in this which is the whole "walking dead" thing. game of thrones, 19 nods. >> amazing, right? the show has been nominated four years in a row. it really, i think, came into its own with emmy voters this year. they just love this show. it's the hot, cooler buzz show of the year. everybody talks about it. and i think that's translated into the emmy vote. >> it has. some of the other drama series, breaking bad, house of cards. mad men, true detective, but the comedy series very intriguing when you look at "big bang theory," "louie," "orange is the new black" and "veep." looking at netflix and its impact on how we watch tv. >> amazing what netflix, within shouting distance with 31

nominations of the major networks now. and it's really changed the way we do watch tv now. you can watch it when you want to watch it, full seasons. to have a best comedy series with orange is the new black whether you think that's haw , funny, is remarkable for this service. it's really revolutionary for television. and i think hemmy voemmy voters recognizing that. we have a chance to break that "modern family" stranglehold which has won four years in a row. >> you look at lead actresses and actors, how can you pick between these people. julianna margulies, claire dans, kerry washington. i'm going for kerry for this one. and the lead actor in a comedy is very tough. jim parsons, matt leblanc, don cheadle, william h. macy. and those categories are really tough. >> these are tough. television is so vast now, there's so many different

platforms and ways to go that the quality there is there and it's drawing all these great actors there. i think julianna margulies had the best year she's ever had on "the good wife" and i thought "the good wife" should have been in drama series, but it was cut out. the major networks just don't do well in that category. i think jim parsons for big bang theory will probably continue his run of winning in the male actor for comedy series. "the walking dead." the only thing i want to do next in life is to appear as a zombie on "the walking dead" but i don't want anything hanging out beyond that. what happened? this show is amazing. >> two nominations for sound editing and special effects. that's it. not even makeup this year? >> right. >> not even makeup? it's about zombies. academy voters are total snobs. they don't want to vote for a show about zombies. they had billboards highlighting the human aspect of this show which is outstanding. it's the number one show on television if you look at the

number of views it gets. academy voters just will not succumb to the zombie fever out there. i'm sorry. >> but they gave into another show i love. and i like horrors, i didn't realize it. but "american horror" got a nod which is surprising. if the theory is they don't like zombie or horror films or shows. >> "american horror story" has been in the miniseries category. that's not as competitive. if it was deemed a regular series, i don't think you would see it nominated. >> well, that is just a heartbreak for me. i'm still happy about "game of thrones." pete, thank you. we'll see what happens. thank you. >> okay. that does it for this edition of "news nation." i'm tamron hall. i'm actually off tomorrow. hanging out with my family. so excited. but in the meantime, andrea mitchell is up next. see you on monday.

this isn't theater. this is a problem. >> right now on "andia mitchell reports" so near and so far. president obama in texas with governor rick perry and local leaders. but resisting all pressure to go to the front lines of the border crisis. >> air force one is a very fast and speedy airplane. i would make a decision to come on down. rocket fire. israel takes return fire today after its rockets hit targets in gaza. is it ground invasion next? >> no country, no country can accept rocket fire aimed at civilians, and we support completely israel's right to defend itself against these vicious attacks. >> with friends like these, germany kicks out the cia station chief after discovering another u.s. spy in its midst. did the agency blindside president obama causing a

dangerous rift with a critical ally? and the nominees are -- which of your favorite shows and actors are up for a primetime emmy. hbo's big hit "game of thrones" leads the pack. but don't count out washington's most infamous power player. >> for those of us climbing to the top of the food chain, there can be no mercy. there is but one rule. hunt or be hunted. good day. i'm andrea mitchel in new york today as the president continues fund raising. how are the republicans responding today. joining me from capitol hill is republican congressman jeff denham who has been working on immigration reform in the
