. >>> let's talk about all of this with moderator of "meet the press" david gregory, also in our d.c. bureau. so, david, it's a lot, especially when you begin with benghazi, move on into the iris and now the ap/fbi. i looked up in the cable coverage this afternoon, was asking is this the curse of a second term? >> well, there's some of that and this is a trifecta that really goes to the president's trust that goes to the question of incompetence within the administration. the irs issue stands out to advisers i have talked to in the white house, to outside allies to the president. they say this is so egregious something has to be done. there's frustration, i can tell you, within the administration that more was not done within the treasury department to deal with this a little bit more quickly and this outrage that is being directed toward the white house would like to be reciprocated but some advisers tell me, look, there are limits to what the president can do right away to start firing people, for one. the irs is insulated in a way. why? to protect against the kind of political inte

. >>> also joining us from washington tonight, moderator of "meet the press," david gregory. tough to sort out here. any profiles in courage, and can you separate heat from light? how much real damage and how long does this go on? >> i think it goes on for a while. republicans understand how politically powerful this scandal is. democrats agree as well. but i still think there is a lot more to be learned and lisa's reporting speaks to it. why wasn't there better oversight particularly in the treasury department. people in the white house are concerned even as the president takes heat for this. you had congress misinformed about this when they were asking questions about this last june. why didn't somebody in the administration do more about it in an election year, after all, when only conservatives were targeted? this question will keep on coming up. don't forget the 2014 elections are not that far away. >> david gregory in washington tonight. we want you to know there will be much more on all of this. senate republican leader mitch mcconnell and dan pfeiffer will be among da

david gregory and eugene robinson will be with us later. what happens when -- up next the top stories in the politico playbook. >>> first, bill karins with a check on the forecast. >> yesterday morning, the top weather stories were fire in california and snow in the midwest. guess what the top stories are today? more fires and more snow, unbelievably. yesterday the summit fire in california. look at this. spring fire shutting down a highway and another home burned to the ground and a lot of evacuations and thankfully some of those were allowed back and a strawberry factory you see there. 95 today in los angeles. it's going to be windy and dry and that is dangerous weather. thankfully things will move in the region over the weekend. a foot of snow in rochester, minnesota, in may! des moines 2 inches of snow and still snowing to the east of town and temperatures are very cold this morning in the midwest. 34 in des moines is ridiculous for this time of year. it's still snowing as far south as arkansas. that doesn't happen. actually, we have ne

david gregory, moderator of "meet the press." >> fwm. >> the nra membership has grown throughout all of this. it helped defeat the background checks. has that organization become even stronger, has it become even more unlikely that we'll get some kind of a deal in the future in. >> well, i don't know about that last one, but i do think the nra is stronger. i think they are able to use moments like this to make the argument to their base of support that the administration wants to take their guns away ultimately. now, of course, that is denied up and down from the administration to other democrats, even republicans who are behind the background check bill, but there's no question that the nra and wayne la pierre and others said this this weekend. they are ready for a big political fight on this in 2014 and beyond. what does that say to prop ownents of more gun control? well, gun safety measures. this issue is back in a way that it hadn't been before because the democratic party had basically given up on gun control. the issue has come back. the public is moving on it. even as some of

let's bring in david gregory, moderator of "meet the press." david, good morning. >> good morning, lester. >> taken together on the surface, you can see how these two instances can be viewed by some as political in one case benghazi, avoiding a 9/11 terror attack, the idea it might have been a terror attack, and then perhaps the irs politically motivated to give a hard time to the president's opponents. which of these is the bigger obstacle for the administration right now? >> i just think it's -- part of it is just the atmosphere in washington at the time when the president's trying to get immigration done. he'd like to get a budget deal. both of those are facing headwinds. the benghazi issue is something that has been under the surface for sometime, and then above surface, and now it's reallysur kind of taken the administration by storm, and, you know, they're more defensive about it now, and republicans are keeping up the fight. there's a lot of questions. there's also a lot of partisanship that is definitely part of the brew right now, and i

. >> did david gregory even recognize the stupidness of that? >> stephanie: i don't think so.ayed a clip of mitch mcconnell from 25 years ago when he was a much younger turtle. >> wow. >> when he was one of those turtles that was crawling across the beach before being eaten by a gull. >> stephanie: yeah. there he is a little baby turtle. yeah, that happened. we talked about this last week but it just amazing. they are not impeded by facts at all. it's -- yeah i was reading this in the sunday l.a. sometimes quoting representative steve king and he is now described as the hyperbolic steve king. the three embrolios, and tom brokaw say do not add up to another watergate. even not close. the irs thing it's the opposite of watergate. nixon again, as we must point out, planted someone at the irs and directed them who to audit and target on his enemy's list. this was lack of oversight at the irs was there was no one in charge because the republicans have obstructed it again. oy vey. >> why did obama force him not to be there and do stuff that he is supposed to do. >> stephanie: right.

joining me now for our daily fix, chris cillizza, msnbc contributor and nbc's david gregory, moderator of "meet the press." david let's talk about this. this is an argument over capping the rates, letting the rates float or fixing the rate. not, preventing it from doubling on july 1st as it's supposed to. who is correct here. because "the wall street journal" among others on the republican side say he's just picking this fight. but why doesn't he split the baby and come up with a negotiated solution? >> there may be room for a negotiated solution. i think the biggest point about all of this is what the president is trying to do here and what he ought to be trying to do, according to a lot of supporters, which is steer his conversation and his second term back to the idea of the economy. and benefitting you know people like students who are coming out of college or dealing with loans, getting into the private sector and finding the job market so difficult. this is his sweet spot. in terms of what to build a second-term agenda around. and i think it's whether he finds a negotiated soluti

david gregory is moderator of "meet the press." david, good morning. good to see you. >> good morning, lester. >> so how is the white house taking all of this? i know they refused to call any of these scandals. what's the mood there? >> well, i think they've -- they felt certainly under siege. i think now they're feeling like they're fighting out of it a little bit, separating the issues, trying to treat them more as distractions, calling them out on politics, looking for relevance of the republican party overreaching. but then, also, having to lay out a process for accountability when it comes to the irs, because more is going to be known there. >> and the president just wants to get back to business. he's already talked about a new rule to speed up infrastructure projects, talking about the economy, trying to reach the average american and get past this noise. can he or is there still going pressure for more explanations about all these? >> i think there's going to be a lot of pressure on areas like the irs and benghazi, because congress will keep in

david gregory from "meet the press." is the president too passive? >> what you see from the president today is an attempt to try to separate a lot of these issues and to just sort of drill down and solve problems. he used that the idea of fixing the problem over and over gab. didn't take the bait on a question about comparisons to nixon. doesn't want to engage in the idea of the second-term curse and all of these things coming together at one time. he wants to deal with these things quickly. everybody knows within the white house this irs story, scandal is the most toxic. not just a passive response, but a question of the real whens, the real whys, who directed this kind of filtering. who knew what in the broader administration and in washington at the irs, but also within the administration and how is it dealt with going forward this is an issue that unites republicans as opposed to some of the other issues that are on the agenda right now. so i think the best thing you can do is try to be offensive about putting information out there. going on the

"i'm alive, please save me." bulldozers and heavy equipment were shut down. workers used hand saws and drilling equipment to cut through debris. a crowd gathered, some prayed. finally after 40 minutes the young seamstress named reshma begum was pulled free and rushed to a waiting ambulance. doctors say she's in remarkably good shape having survived on bottled water she found around her in a pocket

. >> this question was was today with david gregory. >> my understanding about the leak involved with north korea that fox news reported on is something leon panetta was so angry about that he called the attorney general at home and said you need to do something about this, lives are actually at risk here. >> department press secretary josh ernest was asked about the gregory revelation. >> i don't have any knowledge of phone conversations between the attorney general and former secretary of defense. >> when asked whether anyone at the white house was behind the doj leak investigations, he said those investigation are initiated by the doj and are not subject to political or white house influence. >> shepard: dug mche will way. thank you. in d.c., chris wallace, anchor and host of "fox news sunday." i thing i have it clear now. i think it's like this. i think the attorney general said once he got caught i'm sorry aa and i won't do that again. and that's it. it's over. we can move on. >> right. >> that's not going to happen. we're talking sunday to the chairman of the house judiciary com

and i think that was such a paralyzing moment when david gregory asked that question. they don't have evidence and they don't have anyone that has come forward to say, oh, yes, the white house instructed us to do this or we were pressured to do that. the irs isn't suggesting any kind of direction from the white house. it just seemed ludicrous. it doesn't matter anymore. it's on the hill and it's become such an etipathy towards the president with no little proof whatsoever, it's part of this institution, which is tragic because the american people want us working on jobs. >> right. >> they want us working on immigration reform, on responsible gun safety bills and instead all they are getting is baseless accusation against the white house. >> and it is driving the his tear ricks again on the tea party side. >> yeah. >> look at some of the signs they had. said, irss with a nazi-style double s. pointing a gun at the head of a person in a wheelchair and another said, "obama plus irs equals tyranny." this is way odd stuff here. >> it is. and we saw way out odd stuff from the

a little misspeak there at the beginning by david gregory, but the reporting that panetta as cia directororney general at home to demand something should be done about the rosen reporting on north korea. back in 2010 news week had this about that. rosen's reporting caught the attention of obama administration intelligence officials who launched a full-scale investigation into who leaked classified information to the reporter, but behind the scenes, obama has repeatedly and forcefully shown his displeasure over national security leaks, expressing real anger on the subject at a white house situation room meeting last year, that's 2009, according to to an aide who was present and asked not to be identified talking about the internal discussions. a new daily beast report had this on multiple occasions holder fielded calls from the cia director and other top officials demanding leak investigations. okay. we'll start there. let's bring in our panel. david drucker, houston powers, and charles krauthammer. david, what do you think? >> well, i think it's interesting that if you look at any one of

"the new york times" is reporting that kathy knew last week or knew in april. which is exactly what jay carney told the white ho

. >> yesterday on "meet the press," david gregory pressed senate main ort leader, mitch mcconnell to justify his conclusions about how high up decision-making at the irs may have gone. >> there's a culture of intimidation throughout the intimidation. the irs is the most recent example. >> do you have any evidence that the president of the united states directed what you call a culture of intimidation at the irs to target political opponents? >>> i don't think we know what the facts are. >> that hasn't stopped you from accusing. >> we're talking about here an attitude that the government knows best. the nanny state is here, to tell us all what to do. and if we start criticizing, you get targeted. >> there's no question after the week we've had that the partisan divide is sharper than ever in washington. joining me is olympia snowe, former republican senator from maine who stunned washington and maine last year when she decided not to seek a fourth term. she's a senior fellow at the bipartisan policy center and the author of a new book "fighting for common ground: how we can fix the st

washington, and the world's longest-running television program, this is "meet the press" with david gregory. >> and good sunday morning. the president and his administration under fire now on two fronts, news just this morning in the developing country over the irs targeting of conservative tea party groups. the associated press reporting this sunday that will senior irs officials knew of the targeting as early as 2011, contradicting recent public denials by the commissioner. in the growing consciousal investigation over the administration's response to the september 11th attacks in benghazi, libya has the white house now on the defensive. that's where we'll start right would you now with the republican leading the investigation into these matters, the chairman of the house oversight committee, derril issa. >> obviously this is an important issue to the american people. >> let's get into it then because i want to know where you're going. congressional leaders including yourself are calling on the white house to release more e-mails related to all of the communication and reaction to the ben

. >> i think david gregory makes a good point. republicans haven't clarified what the scandal is.f the things they've said is essentially that susan rice was sent to lie about the culprits in the benghazi attack. to believe that is a scandal. because it was to protect barack obama's re-election. to believe that don't you have to believe that had the american known that ansar al sharia, they were going to vote for mitt romney, had they just known it was that group. >> in watching the press conference, i was taken by the president's anger and frustration, it's beginning to burn now. you can see that i thought john boehner's position on everything over the last four years, was jobs, about the job creators, now his own staffer says off the record to politico, he's obsessed with benghazi, that's because he has no contribution to be making to the ongoing governance of the nation. this is about as you've said in your introduction, very clearly, finding a route to undermine the president. and unfortunately, this isn't a very good one. because although four people were killed, it is not ob

i can't believe david gregory called it a widening plot because it makes it sound bad for the president piece yesterday about dzhokhar. that's what we're going with now. because we thought it was -- it is dzhokhar. >> man with two brains. >> great movie. >> stephanie: new version of the land shark. i'm telling you. anyway, "new york times" with some stuff on dzhokhar. on the day after the two bombs exploded near the finish line of the boston marathon, dzhokhar tapped out an early afternoon text message to a classmate at the university of massachusetts want to hang out. yeah, sure his friend said. he lounged at his friend's apartment trying to best him into soccer on a playstation. >> national football -- >> stephanie: that night he worked out at the campus gym. by early friday, he was the target of the largest dragnet in massachusetts history. to even his closest friends mr. tsarnaev was smart athletic 19-year-old with a barbed wit and a laid back demeanor fond of soccer and parties and all too fond of marijuana. one fun fact from the boston times. >> what student isn't fond of marijuan

news in washington, the world's longest running television program, this is "meet the press" with david gregory. >> good sunday morning. we want to start with developing stories on a couple different fronts. breaking news this morning out of syria where overnight israeli air strikes hit targets in syria for the second time in recent days. news of the first strike coming late friday evening. the president was traveling in latin america. reacting to all this escalation yesterday in an interview with telemundo. >> what i have said in the past, i continue to believe this, the israelis justifiably have to guard against the advancement of weaponry against hezbollah. hezbollah has repeatedly said that they would be willing to attack as far as tel-aviv. so the israelis have to be vigilant and they have to be concerned. and we will continue to coordinate with israel. >> continue to coordinate with israel. andrea mitchell is here. a very important line, isn't it, andrea? here you have the president who's issued a red line to syria saying if they move or use chemical weapons it would change his calculus a

david gregory, you can always count on conservative republican david brooks is on meet the press he givesrect perspective to the benghazi tragedy, basically, one line that he said in response, my reading of the evidence is the very terrible event happened at basically a cia facility. they tried to shift responsibility on to the state department, and the state department pushed back. period. end of story, and that comes from a conservative. it's incredible. it's like the president said yesterday, from day one i don't understand where the there there is. >> obama: americans died in benghazi. we also know clearly they were not in a position where they were adequately protected, and suddenly three days ago this gets spun up as if there's something new to the story. >> stephanie: and we talks about his counter terrorism advisor. matthew olson went to capitol hill and said i would say yes they were killed in the course of a terrorist attack on our embassy. so michael tomasky said, there it was. that very day the wall street journal reported but they didn't have time to tell her, but as the pres

you don't have to imagine much of what mitch mcconnell would have said to david gregory conjuring upn about this, cathy who is as smart as anyone i worked with tells the president then several weeks before it becomes public or several weeks before the report is done, mitch mcconnell would be saying, if the president knew about this well before the report was done, what proof do we have that the president didn't meddle and soften what the inspector general came up with? you read that story and you understand that you really, there's no good answer in terms of do you say, do you tell the president now or do you wait? >> no good answer, robert. but he has the same answer on ap and he has the same answer -- >> but, joe, do you want the president to say, oh, sure, i had a long conversation with the attorney general about the subpoenas for reporters. >> a big difference between having a long conversation with the attorney general and being completely in the dark. i just don't believe that any chief executive is going to be in the dark about a leak that everybody is claiming may have caused

david gregory, moderator of "meet the press." david, good morning to you. >> good morning, savannah. >> we've got three scandals at a boil in washington. david, in your view, which is the most potentially dangerous to the white house in the long-term. >> this irs story is politically toxic. the headlines lisa referred to, the fact other groups could have been target. we are not necessarily at the end of this by a long shot. there's a passivity by the president and white house that even his aides acknowledge is a problem. why there hasn't been a faster, more stringent response. we only saw last night a blistering statement from the president and finally his secretary of the treasury that oversees the irs. there have been conservative groups complaining bought this for over a year. it is time in the view of many, republicans and democrats, the president, the white house to lay out a process of accountability. how they go about this. what they say on the inside, they are frustrated to by the practical limitations on the president's p
