they are for fund-raisers for the dnc and democratic organizations. jenna: interesting to see if that changes. the state of texas is paying a little more than million dollars a day, allotting fund to deal with the border crisis in their state. we'll see what happens with fund president is asking for. bret, in 26 days both chambers are in session, what do you think they are going to do? it will not be immigration reform which it is likely not in that time frame. what is on the top of the list? >> well that's a great question because as you know, you get closer to an election, things client to a halt, even more than they're grinding to a halt in normal time. so as you get closer to getting through these primaries into the general election, into november, there probably won't be a lot that gets through congress. there is outside hope about corporate taxes and something to do on the tax front but some bipartisan consensus ahead of a very partisan election. highly unlikely. jenna: certainly a lot to still talk about, even though they may not accomplish any

then today, president obama attended dnc event at a private residence in l.a.osed to the press. this is rotten. president obama promised to be the most transparent president and a he talks about phony scandals. well what about phony campaign promises? his own. and that's my off-the-record comment tonight. coming up why with president obama's team meeting with former president billm ] clinton's team?just that's coming up. morrow. you used to sleep like a champ. then boom... what happened? stress, fun, bad habits kids, now what? let's build a new, smarter bed using the dualair chambers to sense your movement, heartbeat, breathing. introducing the sleep number bed with sleepiqtm technology. it tracks your sleep and tells you how to adjust for a good, better and an awesome night. the difference? try adjusting up or down. you'll know cuz sleep iq™ tells you. only at a sleep number store, mattresses with sleepiq start at just $999.98. know better sleep with sleep number. when folks think about wthey think salmon and energy. but the energy bp produces up here creates

to find a career prosecutor who has not maxed out to the rnc or dnc? did you seek other peoples opinions? >> the internal deliberations, as you know representative gwody , are not things we talk about, but it did not see of a special standard to ward a special counsel. >> my time is up. i will and the way i and it last time, this is the grid than politics, this is bigger than election cycles. the one entity in our culture that is universally respected ed by a woman wearing a blindfold is the department of justice. and when we start playing games with that, we are in trouble. >> i think the gentleman. esther cole, when ape criminal investigation -- when a criminal investigation is started, isn't usually one of the first thing that happens is you gather and protect come and get ahold of the evidence? >> that usually happens fairly early on, guess. >> ok, when this investigation was started -- let's back up. may 22 last year, lois lerner came in front of the committee and would not answer our questions. she has been a central figure in this whole thing. m

to find a career prosecutor who has not maxed out to the rnc or dnc? did you seek other people's opinions? >> the internal deliberations, as you know representative gowdy, are not things we talk about, but it did not see of a special standard to ward a special counsel. >> my time is up. i will end the way i and it last time, this is bigger than politics, this is bigger than election cycles. the one entity in our culture that is universally respected and represented by a woman wearing a blindfold is the department of justice. and when we start playing games with that, we are in trouble. >> i thank the gentleman. mr. cole, when a criminal investigation is started, isn't usually one of the first things that happens is you gather and protect, get hold of the evidence? >> that usually happens fairly early on, yes. >> ok, when this investigation was started -- let's back up. may 22 last year, lois lerner came in front of the committee and would not answer our questions. she has been a central figure in this whole thing. may 23, the day after, did the fbi and

in terms of dnc, i can only say that i am looking forward to oing as a visitor. i don't know if i have any great advice on that. i think there are a lot of great cities in the running. all of them would be fantastic. i am looking forward to hopefully going just as a passive visitor. >> you have said why you chose are you concerned that this would move as a user fee system as opposed to the gas tax? >> no, for several reasons. the ditch we are trying to dig out of is so substantial that we need to have an inflection point. we need to have a moment where we are knowing from fights over whether we can fund at the same level we did last year to a discussion about how to get more investment infrastructure. our proposal would help us do that. the second thing is that the current user fee system is broken and it's broken because, frankly for good reasons. our vehicles are becoming more efficient and folks are using less fuel and where ever you set the gas tax, the curve is still downward facing. hat means at some point in the future, we could reach the same pont we are

msnbc contributors both and dnc coms in her past and rnc leadership in his.essary? >> you know, having worked at the white house and had to deal with motorcades, i would say it really can be very inconvenient. i got stuck behind a motorcade today which was very inconvenient. but as you point out, a lot of it unfortunately has changeed specifically after the kennedy assassination. unfortunately, the security concerns have really -- you have an ambulance as part of the package. it's grown. there might be a way maybe to take a look and see if it could be shortened a little bit, but it can definitely be a pain in the you know what. >> you think they've gone too far? have motorcades spiraled out of control? >> it's another occurrence in d.c. but, yeah, i think karen is right. it has grown largely as a result of the assassination of president kennedy and the assassination attempts of ronald reagan, for example. so they've grown. there's more security in it. it's one of those inconveniences of life. we want to protect our president. and i think that that's an import

on wednesday, the president will be in texas for some dnc fundraisers. pressure is growing for him to visit the border while he's there. >> i don't believe he particularly cares whether or not the border of the united states is secure. i have to believe that when you do not respond in any way, that you are either inept or you have so some other motive. >> we'll see if that changes later this week as pressure grows. the administration has launched a public service campaign warning parents in central america not to send their kids across the border. nbc's stephanie gosk has more from honduras about that ad campaign. >> reporter: one of the main reasons we came down here was to get at this question of why. why so many central americans leaving this area to go to the united states and to really understand what our multitude of answers to that question you have to go back a little bit in history to the '80s and '90s. this area was racked by civil war and violence and the truth is that the countries in central america have not really recovered from that. here

for more, let me bring in mitch ceasar from florida, who sits on the executive committee of dnc, florida is a hot bed in the political season. do you think -- >> thank you. >> the president's work permit plan is a good idea? >> i think it's very iffy propositi proposition, everything is a gigantic risk. they passed a crow mized bill in the senate a year ago and never heard in the house. john boehner rather sue the president, which the majority of american people are against, rather than take up discussion of that bill. even if you change the bill some extent, although it was a compromised bill, it shows some activity. he's not doing that. i think it's a mistake for the president to take on everything as a one-man band. this is simply politically risky and economy is coming back and to the president's credit. he needs to have a convergence and show leadership in trying to bring together, if at all possible all of the factions of congress. >> wouldn't it be harder for the democrats to go home and campaign on the heels of their leader of the democratic party, barack obama, the president of
