that's what senator kirk said today about president obama. p senator kirk, calling president obama a "drug dealer." in this business trying to pick someone to endorse for president has turned out to be very very difficult for mark kirk to master. endorsing donald trump, unendorsing, saying he would vote for david patraeus, and telling everybody in illinois within the sound of his vote they too should cast a vote that will not be counted in november. right now, at least, mark kirk is not making the case that he definitely needs to go back to the u.s. senate this year, not that they're counting on his leadership. i said watch this space. you're nearly guaranteed that this story will change again some time very soon. we'll see youn again tomorrow. now it's time for the "last word" with lawrence o'donnel. >> you were working when i tweeted about cher joining us tonight. >> no way. >> on the last word. turns out no way, as a matter of fact, because -- no, she was campaigning all weekend with hillary clinton and had the long trip back to california

over the same period in 2008 then senator obama held at least four press conferences. donald trump has held at least seven. >> i think the political press is among the most dishonest people that i've ever met. >> reporter: yet both 2016 candidates keep reporters the a distance. neither allow reporters into their fund-raisers. obama, senator john mccain and mitt romney allowed journalists to cover portions of what they said to top donors. clinton has two campaign events scheduled for the rest of the month. at least eight fund-raisers just this week. >> several of the norms that we have for what the public should know are fairly good ones. >> reporter: john wonderlake is the interim director for the sunlight foundation which advocates for open government. >> transparency is in a democracy, we understand what the government is doing, because if we don't have an understanding of that what does our vote really mean. >> neither campaign responded to requests for comments on this. over the weekend, clinton's campaign manager said she's not avoiding tough questions but has sat

neither allow reporters into their fundraisers, unlike in 2008 and 2012 when obama, senator john mccainy said to top donors. clinton has two campaign events scheduled for the rest of the month, but at least eight fundraisers just this week. trump has five. >> several of the norms that we have for what the public should know are being violated. >> john is the interim executive director of the sunlight foundation which advocates for open government. >> transparency for us means that in a democracy we understand what the government is doing, because if we don't have an understanding of that, what does our vote really mean? >> neither campaign responded to our requests for comment on these transparency issues. now over the weekend, clinton's campaign manager did said she is not avoiding tough questions and has sat down for more than 300 interviews. anthony trump's countdown manager said he won't release his tax returns, even though a few years are being audited. >> thank you. >>> jimmy carter made candid remarks act his cancer diagnosis last year. he told a crowd at habitat for humanity he

host: senator obama and senator clinton say if they are elected, they oppose certain provisions of naftand they may try and renegotiate it or scrap it altogether. is that realistic? what kind of threat with that pose to the u.s. economy? guest: it would send a signal that we are more unilateral than they think. that we don't stick with our bargains and i think it would cost us more jobs than they were anticipating. the production lines have been set up so that now north america is integrated. actually that is what has caused the productivity. i agree with lori, there have been lots of jobs lost, but you can't blame it on nafta. just taking manufacturing jobs, if you look at 1985 to 1993 period in the united states, we lost 780,000 manufacturing jobs. 1994 to 2000, which is when we signed nafta, we gained 500,000 jobs. and a biga big hit manufacturing job loss was in 2000, the recession of 2001 and 2002. it is a problem that comes from technology. you know, we are creating more output, more manufacturing output by 30% with 20% fewer workers. and i know to the worker in ohio, the fact he l

office issues a report on duplication and overlap which interestingly was something that then senator barack obama and senator tom coburn pushed for together they also push for more transparency in terms of how money is being spent at the reports in gao described the duplication. for example one of the report said there are 209 science technology and generic math programs or s.t.e.m. programs that the federal government and 13 agencies so someone could get rid of the department of education and congress could eliminate the department of education. they there would be 12 agencies including the department of defense that has a program for science technology -- education. you have one place where education would be done so it's a department or agency or whatever it might be that everything is spread out all over said could eliminate entire departments and you don't eliminate all of the associated programs that just permeate throughout the federal government so our thought is take all these gao recommendations bring them to the florida house and the senate and get rid of the duplication. find somethin

the ruling stated prosecutors did not prove he broke the law barack obama's old senate seat. he has maintained his innocence for years, he has been in the federal prison since 2012. >>> you know it is hot out, good news it is likely to be the colorado forecast, for w we are dealing with showers and thunderstos ok at this cool cam the storms that we have right now are closer to the foothills, frequent lightning out there, a very ominous looking shot, it is ominous because we do have thunderstorms driving some rain and the lightning is causing problems out near winter park and parts of the ?odivide in some areas t areal flood advisories. those storms are moving northeast, that is why they are bypassing the city and we are staying mostly dry. the lightning count within the past half hour, well over 1000 lightning strikes just in colorado border. we continue to see monsoon winds bringing moisture into colorado, that is the reason why we will keep a chance for storms in the forecast, into the afternoon and evening there are chances of storms to the northeast of the that could turn

she never said anything remotely as belligerent against then senator obama as donald trump says every. this takes place against the backdrop of a lot more violence in his rallies, people getting beaten up at his rallies, and people are making chance like, lock her up, and even worse, at rallies, then to make a comment essentially about the potential murder of an opponent seems far out of bounds. republicans will look at comments of everyone to clean this up. we all know what this is, a further demonstration that a person who has been telling everyone that essentially he's going to prove that he can stay on message, can't do it because he makes comments like this. mark: mike pence was asked by reporters if donald trump implied violence, and he answered, "of course not." back, more on the economy and what secretary clinton will talk about this week right after this. ♪ mark: we are back. hillary clinton will give a major speech on the economy and detroit on thursday. i'm warning what you think she will say about saving money for social security, medicare, and medicaid, all serious defici
