briefing leaders on the house and the senate on his new strategy to beat back isis. one of those leaders will be house speaker jane boehner who is expected to make remarks at any moment. that's the shot on the left. we're expecting a dueling news conference from democratic leaders. that's the shot on the right. ahead of those high level meetings, the president will meet behind closed doors this hour with secretary of state john kerry who is about to head to the middle east and drop off more support for the military campaign to defeat isis. the meetings come after another deadly round of u.s. air strikes against isis targets in iraq. the one u.s. official telling nbc news as many as 60 or 70 isis fighters were killed in the attacks. let's bring in nbc senior white house correspondent chris jansing this morning. >> good morning. you said high stakes. no kidding. both the speech and the meetings today -- you can sense the importance of what is going on when you'red in the white house. let's start with what the

president is going stay. that speech is being worked on. he wants to convince the american people that we need to have an expanded military plan over in the middle east to fight isis. he's got to late out a rash tell me for why we should do that. it's politically tricky for him. it's a president who has spent a lot of his time in office trying to extra candidate the united states from that part of the world. now he has to make a justification for expanding. the polls do seem to suggest the americans aren't happy with what he's been doing so far. although there is a growing unease. they know that inside the white house. americans feel concerned about what is going on and the possibility of foreign fighters coming back here. also high stakes in this meeting with congress. a lot of times with congressional leaders come over here, jose, it's about a photo-op. it's not about a photo-op. this is about getting some consensus about what has to be done. now, on capitol hill, that's politically tricky as well. you have the november elections coming up, and there is a lot of pressure from those members who

are running who don't want to have to commit. especially since there are a lot of competing suggestions about what any authorization bill should say. how far should it go? what should the specifics be? those are all conversations that are being had as the speech is being worked on, jose. >> and chris, john kerry about to head to the middle east. what is his plan? >> yeah, huge component of this, obviously. the president has said along two things. one, you have to have a stable iraq. and yesterday the announcement parliament had voted for a unity government. that's the first step, altogether there's still some problems with that as well. the bigger issue is how many of our allies can we get on board. the president left feeling pretty good from the nato summit. they have the core coalition of ten countries who are committed to work together in different ways to fight isis. he's going to be meeting with officials from both jordan and saudi arabia trying to expand that coalition and get more definitive commitments about what they're willing to do, jose. >> nbc chris jansing thank you

so much. >> let's bring in aaron david miller. vice president for new initiative at the woodrow wilson center. he served as middle east adviser in democratic and republican administrations. good to see you this morning, sir. let's set the stakes on the white house meeting with congressional leaders. he finishes an isis strategy, about to announce to the nation tomorrow. let's talk about those stakes. >> you know i don't think there will be much pushback from congress for two reasons. number one, there's little consensus on the critical issues that define the domestic agenda here. there is a fair amount of consensus even among republicans on what the right approach to isis and to america's involvement in the rest of the world really is. that's number one. there's more consensus than you think. number two, i don't think congress right now, frankly, wants the responsibility to have

to vote down an effort to deal with what is probably the most serious terrorist organization since the emergence of al qaeda. if you look at what happened in 2013 with the redline episode. i'm told that congressional calls are running 10-1 against military action. so i suspect they'll allow the president to define his policy and essentially settle, at least at this phase for a notification under war powers which is what the president has been doing over the last several months. >> now the u.s. has launched nearly 150 air strikes against isis targets in iraq. do we have the intelligence necessary to expand those strikes into syria. you know, it's a sovereign country with a powerful dictatorship. >> right. i don't think we have all the intel we need right now. which is why i think you'll see a phased approach. i think the president is going to do okay, in part, because the american public, at least according to the polls, wants to be lead. isis is the poster child for why

we have to be a little more risk readies in our policy in order to confront it. as long as the president abides by his own red lines which are several. it's going take time. he's going to lay it out. number two, we're not talking about another trillion dollar social science project like iraq. open-ended military confrontation which involves large forces of americans on the ground. number three, it's not just going to be an american surprise. there's no more lone ranger here. we have mobilize the regional and international allies. the president is on the way to achieving that. the reality, though, is this. the fight against isis is going to be ongoing when barack obama leaves the white house. there's no hollywood ending to it. it's not going to be quick, easy, and cheap. it is possible over time to check it, undermine it, and ultimately to weaken it with a view toward ultimately reducing it to scale and size. but this is not going to be easy

and it's going require a lot of time. >> aaron david miller, thank you so much for your time this morning. >> always a pleasure. i want to bring in representative marsha blackburn republican from tennessee. the administration will be giving a classified briefing to senators tomorrow to house members on thursday. what are you expecting from the president tomorrow? what are you going to be looking for? >> well, not only members of the house, but i think the american people are looking for from the president is a definitive plan of action. a and, jose, i think part of that is for the president to go back and say i made a mistake. i thought al qaeda was on the run. i thought we had a handle on terrorism. what we have to realize is that diligence never stopping is so important. it is a vital part of this fight. you cannot let up. these are evil people and

they're out to get us. it's imperative we have a plan of action for stopping them in their tracks. the president used the term nip it in the bud. it's past that. what he's got to do is have a very complete plan of action. this is where we're going to go. this is what we're going do. >> and so what would you think would be appropriate? for example, do we start bombing isis in syria? are we prepared for the possible reaction or mission creep if the dictatorship in syria is able to fight back? do we put american troops on the ground. do we increase troops in iraq? go into syria? what do you think? >> well, you mentioned that the senate and the house are yet to get the classified briefings. i think each and every one of us will be able to give you a more definitive answer once we have had those briefings. many of us who have strong military retiree districts and large numbers of veterans in our districts have heard from so

many of them they think we have to be very aggressive. that we have to go into syria in some way, shape, or form. now let's say what we're going to hear from the classified briefings and those of us who have military posts, jose, i'm talking to my military families and the command teams, members of those on a regular basis. it is important for us to be thoughtful on this. it's important for the house to weigh in on this. the senate, also. the point is the american people are incredibly concerned about this nation's security. now probably more so than ever. we know this is a very tedious and difficult situation that we are facing. we also know this is not the time for uncertainty and indecisiveness from our leader. the world has seen too much of that. and what they want to hear from our president, our vice

president, and our secretary of state is if they are resolute in defending this nation and the defending the cause of freedom. >> it's also, i think, i think you would agree with me. it's a time for americans to unite and not get into partisan politics and what mistakes were committed in the past by what president. but focus really on this very dangerous and increasingly dangerous situation that could affect all of us. your caucus is meeting now. the democrats are meeting. you are coming back i think we have some pictures to show you of the republican caucus as your meeting and having the press conference. you don't have a lot of time left on the legislative session. not always do you get a lot done. what is it that you think should come out of these few days that you all have remaining on, for example, national security. >> right. i think that you are going to

see something in dealing with the threat as it exists right now. coming from the terrorist organizations. you're also going to see some action come forward with those who have exited the country and will try to come back into the country but have been fighting against the united states. there's some work that is being done on that. in addition, there is the continuing resolution that is in front of us. jose, i'll say this. in the house, we've got 300 -- i think it's 352 bills on harry reid's desk right now. 98% of those bipartisan support. 200 of those are unanimous vote, 100 of them are two-thirds the majority vote. what the house, on a bipartisan basis would like to see done is for harry reid to take up some of those 352 bills that are on his desk. as said, 98% of them came out of the house on a bipartisan vote.

>> we'll see, congresswoman, what happens in this time we have left of the legislative session. congressman, thank you so much for being with me. thank you so much. >> i appreciate it! and we'll, of course, keeping an eye on what the democrats and the republicans are doing and saying this morning. but developing right now this is an ambulance carrying the fourth american sickened with ebola who arrived in the u.s. in is within the last hour. the patient being treated at emery university hospital in atlanta. the same place where nancy writebol and dr. kent brantly recovered. another american is being treated in nebraska. friends, take a look at this. the weather map. one day after record rainfall flooded out arizona cities, the threat moves east. several mid western cities are in line for some very severe weather today. we're talking 15 million americans. we'll have the details ahead. but coming up the wife of runningback ray rice is just

released a statement this morning. the nfl has as well. we're going to talk about the controversy that has so many people outraged. >> don't hit a woman. don't punch her in the face. >> it's disgusting because they're role models to so many people. but first representative luis gutierrez of illinois joins me. this, my friends, is a conversation you don't want to miss. you'll see it in second right here on msnbc. ♪ [music] jackie's heart attack didn't come with a warning. today her doctor has her on a bayer aspirin regimen to help reduce the risk of another one. if you've had a heart attack be sure to talk to your doctor before you begin an aspirin regimen. while a body in motion tends to stay in motion. staying active can ease arthritis symptoms but if you have arthritis, this can be difficult. prescription celebrex can help relieve arthritis pain, so your body can stay in motion.

the president can make this decision not involve the american people. no, they need to stay out of this. they shouldn't talk about it in an election. well, when should issues be talked about?

>> republican senator jeff sessions reacting to the president's decision to delay any action on immigration until after the election. and with congress back in town, opinions about the move continue to pour in including from ted cruz who will be joined by senator sessions in a news conference to talk immigration this afternoon. that should be interesting. clearly the president is getting heat from all sides including some from our next guest. democratic congressman luis gutierrez. good morning, congressman. thank you for being with me. >> thank you. >> you're back to work on the hill. you are frustrated with the president. we talked about it on telemundo on sunday morning. what does it mean in terms of action that we're going wait until after the election. >> it means there's about a thousand people deported everyday. so hundreds of american citizens children will go -- will lose their mom or dad. there are real consequences to the lack of action. you know, jose, this is kind of

lets do what we think is smart. right. let's do the safe play. we have four or five states immigration, apparently, doesn't do well when they poll the states. the democratic senates there, want them re-elected. we're going stop justice, we're going to stop fairness, we're going to have public policy maybe we can't be proud of. that's what happens when you play it safe and you walk away from your core principles. i think the democratic party, if it's going to be a party for justice, has to be a party for justice all of the time. not just when it's politically convenient. 2012, jose, you remember it. democratic convention, they took undocumented youth, immigrant growth and had them speak to roaring crowds and cheer. >> first time ever. first time ever we saw it. >> undocumented youth were there speaking. the crowds were roaring. it was so proud of a, the public

policy we fostered that allowed them to come forward, and b, the crowd would accept them. i think they're ready to accept their moms and dads. that's what we need to do. i'm going make sure we tell the stories about who is being left behind. >> congressman, let's talk, the fact is that you get things done in politics if you have majorities or larger minorities working with you. and so if the president takes an action now, that will have a direct negative effect on his support base in the senate and in the house. why not wait those a few weeks and let him get what he needs to him -- this is what the wohite house will tell you they'll be in a stronger position after the elections >>well, look. there's nothing i can say, jose, that is going to change the president's mind or course of events of moving forward. here is what i'm going to do.

i'm going -- i've called out, i'm sure the president will gather us together and meet with us. i look forward to the meeting. i'm going to continue to talk to jay johnson, who is the secretary of homeland security, i think, is doing a terrific job of keeping us secure both from internal and external threats. but at the same time demonstrated a true willingness to work with our immigrant community and the issues that affect us and have shown some real come passion. i'm going to work with them to work to making the november announcement resounding success. and something that is broad, humane, and generous. because in the interim period, see, i don't think you win here. because you're going have the ted cruz's of the world and jeff sessions of the world continue to talk about the president at immigration and that he didn't take the action or doing it politically. it's not like you have taken the

issue off the radar screen or off the table of political debate, they're going to continue to talk about it. so i thought it would be best to move forward. a lot of cynicism out there about politics in washington, d.c. here we're saying we don't want the public to know what we're going to do to be able to zwruj what we're going to do. we're going to wait until after the election. >> congressman, the other issue that the white house will tell you is that really if the issue was brought up now it could poison the well for any future possibility of immigration reform out of the legislature. >> sure. and here is -- look, there are people waiting for the president to be their champion. i'm waiting up. i'm not giving up on barack obama. i know, he's going to do the right thing. he's made the decision. i'm going to work with him to make sure that the decision is brought and understood. so here is what i'm encouraging those in the immigrant community and the advocacy community.

let's tell the story of the people that barack obama wants to give protection under executive authority. let's talk about the guy or the woman who has been here for more than ten years. that's what we're talking about. we're talking about people being here 10, 11, 12, 13 years. have roots in their community, working and raising families. they're ready, jose, to take their fingerprint at their own expense, hand them to the fbi, go there through a background check and make sure they don't present a to america and get a work permit. if the american public were to look at it, they would say that's the right thing to do, luis. >> thank you. appreciate your time, luis gutierrez. we brought out a hashtag. it took us a little bit it it's #jdbnow so we can hear from you on the debate. take vadvantage of it. i can't tell you how long it

rice punched and knock the out his future wife. the nfl defending itself saying yesterday was the first time it saw the video. in a statement the league said the full video was, quote, not made available and that the police, not the nfl, had control of the video. i want to bring in msnbc contributor goldy taylor. nice to see you. thank you for being with me. >> good to see you. thank you. >> you've been following the controversy and the issue so closely. does it wash for you? i mean, that the nfl says it's not my problem, not my fault? ? >> i'm not sure it does when you look at the top tier reporting around this as far as back as june and july there were reports that nfl was characterizing the video as they had seen it. and they said there were mitigating factors that would be revealed if the world could see it. there were sources inside the ravens and the nfl who claimed to have seen the video. but let's put it to the side.

if they haven't seen it, if roger goodell had not seen the video, he the ability to access it. ray rice and his attorneys had it. they had the leverage to compel it from him. they simply took ray rice's word. if you leave them at their word. they took the word of the victim, which we know, in these cases can't always be counted on. >> we're on the 20th anniversary of the violence against women act. it takes a story like this for us to talk about domestic violence. why? why do we wait? >> it does, you know, domestic violence is one of those silent killers. people don't taught it outside of their own homes until they have to. we may never have known what was happening in the rice household until the video came out.

they have serious work to do, really, from both sides. in terms of her own personal healing, in temples of his journey to redemption and beginning to manage the pathologist. what we're responsible for is holding the public institutios s responsible. why was the case moved to a diversional program. why can we not hold them to greater account? our responsibility is to hold the public institutions fully accountable they can serve all families in the same way and make sure that justice is available to everyone. >> yeah. and i know we talk about the bigger picture. let's bring in this specific

case. his wife said this is our life. what don't you all get? if your intentions were to hurt us, embarrass us, make us feel alone, take all happiness away, you have succeeded on so many levels. just know we will continue to grow and show the world what real love is! how do you -- what is going on here, do you think, goldeie. >> i laid in my bed and teared. that voice was mine. i wanted to cover him, i wanted to protect him, i wanted to love him, i wanted everything to be okay. most of all, i wanted everybody else out of our lives that was until the day he stabbed in my back as i ran from our house. who is to say what is happening in the rice household? certainly they have sought out,

and i believe, getting the help they need. i'm hearing something in her voice that has something to do with cop ability of a victim. we can't litigate their relationship. we can't know what is happening with them on a day-to-day basis. what we ought to be doing is supporting their health, their growth, their balance. one and both of them should receive that from us. >> talk to me about the voice a little bit. because there are, i'm sure, a lot of people, maybe some that are watching that have that voice. how do you change that conversation? what do we tell people when they use the same logic in their own circumstances? how do you help change that conversation, that internal conversation? >> domestic violence is a pathology. there is no trigger. the trigger can be your orange juice wasn't juicy enough. your laundry didn't come out in the right way, that you embarrassed him publicly or her

publicly. by the way, it goes both ways. men and women alike are suffered. men often suffer and shame in silence. they seek out help from no one because of the embarrassment. and so in changing that conversation, it is shifting the responsibility it is to get rid of victim shaming 77 victim so-called cope ability. no one has the right to harm another in this country. no one has the right to lay their hands on you in that way. and to believe you may have caused that in some way or some way you might be copeble. that's getting rid of that is the first step toward escaping that kind of violence. if you think you're alone, you're not alone. there's always a way out. >> it can happen to anyone. >> thank you for your time. so appreciate you being on with me this morning.

>> thank you, jose. developing right now. moments ago. the fourth american sickened with ebola walking into emery university hospital in atlanta. we've seen these videos before, well, this is a new one. arrived back in the u.s. within the past hour from west africa. no word on the condition, but he did walk in with an escort. it's the same hospital that treated nancy writebol and dr. kent brantly who have since been released. record rains in the desert. a meteorite hits earth and a deadly shark attack. another inch or so of rain is expected in the desert southwest today one day after records were shattered in arizona. two people were killed in flood waters in tucson. the threat moves east. cities like des moines, kansas city, omaha, and indianapolis could severe thunderstorms and even tornados. lava flow from hawaii's volcano is a mile away from a

key issue arising out of police response to ferguson protests. then less than a half hour from now michael brown's father will be a news conference questioning why the police officer hasn't been charged. in as a grand jury continues to investigate the case. at 8:00 p.m. eastern tonight, 5:00 p.m. pacific, the ferguson skoi city council will hold the first meeting. protest is expected to be intense. to quell some of the anger, the council announced some measures including the creation of a citizens we have a board for police actions and changes to the court system, but i want to circle back to the capitol hill hearing jump ing underway right. i'm joined by the producer of retroreport. good to see you. >> good to see you too. missouri senator clark mccaskill is chairing the hearing. she said, quote, i'm not sure we intended the federal government the government providing state and local police department with the kind of fundsing we've been

giving them out of washington. you produced a documentary for retroreport about the rise of s.w.a.t. teams in america. how did it start? how did we get here? >> it's an interesting parallel. we all saw the images in ferguson and wonder whod are the guys lined up in a forceful way? and at retroreport we try to answer the questions of putting things in a broader context. we looked back and the s.w.a.t. teams grew out of the police feeling sort of flat footed to the riots in los angeles and in 1965. for six days, they watched, sort of heplessly as 42 square miles in los angeles burned. they finally called in the national guard on day three, but at the end, 34 people were killed. the lapd was criticized for using excessive force. they didn't have a response. so darrell gates, then an inspector at the los angeles police department, said, you know, maybe these national guardsmen are on to something. maybe we need a more

militaristic response. he came up with the name sweshl weap special weapons attack teams. it didn't go over well. they thought the attack thing was a little bit too aggressive. here we are 50 years later looking how aggressive. from day one there was an issue of how aggressive it should be. they changed it to special weapons attack. 2013 alone the department of defense gave nearly half a billion worth of military equipment. do you see them giving up access to the equipment any time soon. even credit icritics say they c back to a time before that. you saw the massive transfer of all this equipment. it's like grenade launchers and assault weapons go to local

police forces just because those programs were enacted just about the time when ronald reagan was ramping up the war on drugs. the two things came together at the same time. that was how a lot of these police forces got the half armaments. >> thank you so much for your time. we appreciate you being on with us. >> sure. coming up, the final primary day before the midterm spread. i'll ask a candidate one of the nati nation's highest profile showdown whether the president's decision to wait on immigration may cost him the race. oject suc. that's why we use fedex one rate. right. their flat rate shipping. exactly. it makes us look top-notch but we know it's affordable.

that's the way i look at life. looking for something better. especially now that i live with a higher risk of stroke due to afib, a type of irregular heartbeat, not caused by a heart valve problem. i was taking warfarin, but wondered if i kept digging, could i come up with something better. my doctor told me about eliquis... for three important reasons. one, in a clinical trial, eliquis was proven to reduce the risk of stroke better than warfarin. two, eliquis had less major bleeding than warfarin. and three, unlike warfarin, there's no routine blood testing. don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases

your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. those three important reasons are why eliquis is a better find for me. ask your doctor today if eliquis is right for you. to colorado now specifically colorado six. it's a swing district in a swing state and the race is expected to be one of the tightest and most expensive of these midterms. democratic challenger and former colorado house speaker andrew is looking to upset incumbent

republican congressman mike kaufman. key to the race? demographics. colorado six is 20% hispanic. it's an increase from 2012 when a redistricting ruling dumped more republican leaning areas out of the district. joining me now is andrew, democratic candidate for colorado's sixth district. thank you for being with me. everybody is talking about politics of the president's immigration decision. you're probably in a better position than anywhere else. did the president cost you potentially any votes? no. look, we're going win the race. i'll tell you why. our district is home to enormous immigrant population. we have folks from 130 countries who speak 120 languages. we observed a congressman who celebrates our diversity. what we've got instead in mike kaufman opposes the dream act.

opposes both the senate and house immigration reform bills. and has voted now three times in the last year or so to invalidate the president's program called daca deferred action on childhood arrives. families in my district are struggling. they deserve action. they haven't gotten any from this congress or this congressman. >> listen, i have to tell you it's a good way of making a clear distinction between you and the congressman. i think that's great. my question was do you think the president's inaction on immigration announced over the weekend that he won't be acting until after the elections is going to play a role in your election? with 20% latino. >> i would say no. look, there's plenty of frustration at both ends directed from my district and across the country. but what most folks here understand is that the president

cannot solve this problem on his own. no president can. no executive order is a substitute for what we actually need. which is comprehensive immigration reform. it's been more than a year since a bipartisan majority, as you know, jose, in the senate passed a plan. and the house, during that time, refused to take action on the proposal or any proposal that would actually do the trick. >> so how do you think that wheel could be helped move in the house? >> well, there's one way, which is to get 218 signatures from a majority of the house on a petition to force a vote on the senate bill or the house bill today. i would sign that petition. congressman coffman will not. he's unwilling to buck his own party's leadership. because apparently, he does not have the interests of his constituents at heart. that's deeply disappointing. >> andrew, thank you so much for your time. appreciate it. thank you for being with me.

by the way, we did reach out to congressman coffman as well. he was not available today but is welcome to come on this broadcast any time. i want to bring in senior politics writer for world report and politics reporter for the washington post. thank you for being with me. jackie, you heard from andrew. is this colorado race one we should be keeping an eye on? >> absolutely. one of the most competitive races in the country. but, you know, my colleague reid wilson has a great piece on the race in the washington post. he points out immigration isn't going to be -- hasn't been a center piece of this race despite the large hispanic population. one of the reasons is neither candidate wants to fire up the other side's base and get themselves to the poll. now on the broader scale, the senate race, i think you know what the president did might see an impact there. has been bigger issue on statewide. >> and david, let's talk about that the other race is getting a

lot of attention. the senate race between incumbent democratic senator mark udall and congressman cory garner. the latest nbc poll has udall up six points. 9% undecided. what will this race come down, do you think? >> well, it's ironic, because really there's no other race senate race in the country where the immigration issue could be more potent than colorado. there's a lot of issues at play. a lot of female health care women's issues at play in colorado. there's no question that republicans in colorado know they did terribly with latinos in 2012, so the question is have they really improved on that at all? you have a state party chairman out there right now who is trying to do more field work. he's fluent in spanish, trying to reach out to the communities. so it's going to be as much as a test for republicans in this state as it will be for mark

udall and whether the president's inaction hurts him and keeps the base home in a year where democrats and base democrats are less likely to turn out. >> it takes more than someone who can get through the latino community that may or may not vote. i get the sense in general from the races around the country that both political parties are willing and actually pretty happy to ignore the latino issues until 2016. >> that's what they play into national elections. you have to start paying attention. but i think you're right. i think this is something that we'll see a lot more attention to in 2015 and 2016 as we get nearer to a presidential election where the latino population makes a large impact. >> jackie and david, thank you so much for your time.

i want to have you back shortly. we have a lot more to discuss. thank you. coming up a big day for apple fanatics. they're lining up outside a new york store. pretty much apple stores throughout the world. could today's announcement top the high profile unveiling seven years ago? >> we have the first look today at what apple says is the next big thing. the new must-have device that takes the ipod even further. >> our five things iphone is next.

about how much the nfl knew prior to yesterday. this morn, a spokesperson for the league is denying the report they purposefully never asked for the video from inside the atlantic city hotel elevator. whether or not the league has seen the video, the entire ordeal brings the larger issue of violence against women into the headlines. i spoke exclusively with the vice president ability the progress that has been made since he introduced the violence against women act as a senator 20 years ago. today the headline is ray rice, an nfl star, the nfl has now suspended him indefinitelily. the ravens have fired him. but this was after his brutal video -- you can imagine, was released of him knocking his wife out. >> the nfl did the right thing whether it was for the right reas reasons. they had no choice.
