0 loopholes and tax breaks allow enough revenues to come in that you could bring down the corporate rate from the current 35% to 28% is popular with both parties as long as you do get rid of some of those breaks, but the republicans would like to go lower. they would like to go lower even in the absence of getting rid of the breaks but putting those two together, they want that -- they do not want the rest of the president's agenda. they call it a new spending program, a new stimulus even though he's proposed that revenues would offset that. >> and nbc announced that the president will be on with jay leno on the "tonight show" on tuesday talking about jobs and the economy. he's going to the country with that as well before he takes his own august break. and the best for last, chris. you can't make it up. weiner watch? i mean, the latest scandal involves the press secretary. could be so stupid in life. >> so enough about that. that's just to show what this was all about in the first place. jackie, what about this republican fight, chris christie, rand paul. it's erupted on the senate floor today over aid to egypt and rand paul was slapped down by john mccain and others. this really does look like a preview of the divide on the 2016 race coming up on the republican side, two waves of the party. >> it does in terms of the national security argument. it's interesting. although john mccain presumably won't be a major figure in the 2016 race to make that argument and, you know, he was the nominee in 2012 and, you know, he's now clearly seeming to be remaking his career in the senate as a force to be reckoned with. you know, rand paul definitely has very different ideas, more libertarian isolationist view. he has his hands full when, you know, taking on john mccain. it's going to provide endless entertainment. and unlike, you know. >> the weiner scandal you were just talking about, it's at least a substantive one. you know, it serves to -- it's a debate worth having. >> and i think when the new republic questioned john mccain about who he would support in 2016, hillary clinton versus rand paul, he said something about how he'd have to think about it or make up his mind. so that's a pretty strong statement. thanks very much, jackie. good to see you and chris cillizza and of course our own kelly o'donnell. sleeping on the job and special treatment for family members, that's a few examples of misconduct investigating the transportation security administration. today a house subcommittee questioned tsa administrators. nbc justice correspondent pete williams joins me now. pete, obviously the tsa not the most popular agency among most travelers although they've been trying to be a little bit more consumer friendly. this is pretty appalling, the kinds of security lapses that were detailed in this igo report. >> reporter: this is fundamentally not a report about security lapses, andrea, although they do mention a couple of them. the whole point of this was a report by the gao which says the tsa lacks a uniform system for deciding how to handle discipline and then tracking how the disciplinary system is working and making sure, for example, that if an agent goes from one airport to another his disciplinary record goes with him so that if there are further problems they can be dealt with. they do have some examples here. they note a 27% increase. 9722 cases 2 -- 9622 total cas. they say in here that a screener was running the conveyor belt that goes through the metal detectors and just letting things go right through without stopping to look at each item. that person was suspended for 30 days. but then there's another example in here of a security officer who was helping his family members, was on the job, left his post to help a family member get a bag through security. took the bag around the screening then gave it back to the family member. another screener saw it, said, wait a minute, you can't do that. according to the gao the bag was found to contain what were said to be prohibited items. it says that person was suspended for seven days. some other examples from the report, andrea, says when a worker is accused of sleeping on the job, half of those found to have done so get less than the lowest penalty that is called for in the tsa's own standards. now tsa says it has a zero tolerance for misconduct, bad performance, that it's tracking these very closely and that it's doing a very good job, andrea. >> pete williams, thank you very much. >> you bet. coming up next, more about anthony weiner's latest woes. last night kristin chen know paid him a musical tribute ♪ ♪ popular. zip your fly, you won't be that guy with the camera down his pants ♪ ♪ i'll teach you what sweets to treat. we'll make sure you get your chance to be popular ♪ ♪ the right kind of popular ♪ so thank you they come so they see your gums, now you'll play a different song ♪. new purina one true instinct has 30. active dogs crave nutrient-dense food. so we made purina one true instinct. learn more at purinaone.com
