coulter. >> i know what's on the mind of the folks. >> it's official. house majority leader eric cantor stepping down. house republicans will hold an election to select the new majority leader on june 19th. cantor addressed the media moments ago. >> wiley not be on the ballot in november, i will be a champion for conservatives across the nation who are dedicated to preserving liberty and providing opportunity. now, while i intend to serve out my term as a member of congress and the seventh district of virginia, effective july 31st,ly be stepping down as majority leader. it is with great humilitity i will do so knowing what a great honor it has been to hold this position. historians are calling it a first. never before has someone of

cantor's rank been defeated in a primary. last friday cantor's office released an internal poll conducted in late may which showed him with a 34-point lead over challenger david brat frmgs on tuesday the seven-term rupp leader lost by a whopping 10 -- excuse me 12 percentage points. until then brat had flown under the radar. by all logic, eric cantor should have had the name recognition and money for an easy win. financially it was a david and goliath matchup. cantor spent over $5 million on this campaign. david brat spent $122,000. that's 20-1. brat was considered such a long shot he even failed to secure the endorsement of tea party groups with national networks. many are credited brat's attacks

on the win. cantor rejected the bipartisan immigration reform deal proposed in the senate but cantor also signaling a willingness to issue a partial compromise for children brought over by their parents. we all know by now any deal that would be acceptable to democrats is unaccept tobl certain republicans. compromised and seen as a surrender, people will call this a coup for anti-establishment republicans. >> to t response is to say, oh, this is a tea party. they're not saying this is a defeat for amnesty. they know what i'm saying is true. americans do not want amnesty. in fact, they want a moratorium. overwhelmingly the polls have shown that for 20 years but the chamber of commerce and adelsons

of the world keep buying john boehner and eric cantor. whenever they know -- again, they did not know in north carolina last month -- when they know they will vote against amnesty. >> got it. ann? >> just last week we were given a look at this. images from a converted warehouse in arizona where more than 700 children are being housed together, president obama declared it a humanitarian crisis. and when you look at images like, this it's hard to comprehend how republicans can be socalous when it comes to addressing immigration reform. then you hear statements like this. >> the council of honduras is saying that the illegal

immigrant children are complaining to the consulate of honduras that the burrito and eggs they are being given in their holding areas are making them sick. so they're complaining about the food. i bet there are a lot of american kids who would like free food before they go to bet at night. >> laura ingraham saw in brat what they've been waitsing for. >> they're tired of the establishment, the mindset that shoves this idea that amnesty is the only way for the republican party to survive and they made a difference and this is a massive wakeup call to the republican parties if they choose to actually, you know, wake up at this point. >> and make no mistake, ingraham's endorsement of the unknown david brat one instrumental in this upset. ingraham wasn't the only ones.

coulter, levin, and tony were always involved. the right wing noise machine took aim at one of their own and it will have a lasting impact on immigration reform and the future of the republican party. get your cell phones out. i want to know what you think. tonight's question. are you happy to see eric cantor lose? text "a" for yes, "b" for no to 67622 or go to edmsnbc.com. congressman, what was the response on capitol hill to the stunning announcement that eric cantor lost? >> it was a bombshell on capitol hill as it has been politically throughout the country. you've already saw eric cantor

is going to step down which will set off a race among house republican caucus members as to who will replace him. what you'll see is the same civil war going on throughout the country among republicans and at least from last night's result, it's pretty clear that the most extreme right wing tea party faction is prevailing and that will send a shock wave through the house republican caucus some of in an ins studtin where things are not getting done, things will unfortunately result in even more gridlock because the tea party folks, they just don't want to work together to solve the country's problems. it's unfortunate, but that's the realts. >> no doubt. congressman van hollen, in light of these results and with eric cantor stepping down, do you

think there's any chance of reform at all? >> its was tough. but even the fact that cantor was will toig whisper about it, entertain an idea, as he indicated today he's been very hard line on immigration reform but at least he put forth his own version of the d.r.e.a.m. act. but the signal he sent to the house republican party is they want no part in solving immigration reform for the country and i would say they really don't want to address a lot of the other mae superior issues we got. the message is don't koorngts don't work together on a bipartisan fashion with democrats to try to move the country forward. >> what do you say to those who argued no. lindsey graham won a highly contested race and he did it with passing colors and he supported major reform in immigrati

immigration. do you think it's a manufacture come plea indicated thing here where they're moved forward on the immigration front? >> i hope that's the case. that would be a silver lining in reading the results of some of these races. unfortunately it's where you had the right wing talk radio where they tried to reach the party base. had an impact. i read the way you did which is, you know, because the talk radio lefts went in and whipped up a frenzy, you had the result that you did and the danger for the country is that if that happens repeatedly, you have a very narrow band of the country, the tea party band running the house of representatives. that was already the danger. speaker boehner has already seated a lot of control in the

house to the tea party folks. this will make it even worse. we haven't had a vote on the bipartisan immigration reform bill. we can't get a vote on raising the minimum wage. we can't get a vote on universal background checks for guns. we can't even get a vote on lots of these things and that's because speaker boehner was already worried about losing control to the tea party caucus in the house. this will make all of those problems even worse. >> well krks we flip it a little bit and say, look, it might make the obstruction worse and it might mean a further move to the right, which is bad for the republicans but does it give the democrats an opportunity to wiggle themselves into a better position? >> well, i do think that since the republicans are now going to be talking to a more and more narrow band in the country, that all their politics will be geared toward this very vocal minority and the tea party wing, that, yes, they will begin to

lose the conversation with the broad american public because the broad american public whether they're democrats, independents or even many republicans are looking for a congress that wants to solve problems and to the extent that the republicans here in the house continue to answer to a very vocal but very small and extreme group in the country, i think that i gore doing continue to loose the flose the floor to american people. i think the country loses as a result of this but the country has a response, which is try to make sure you elect people who solve problems and the democrats were asking for votes on these important issues. >> from your mouth to god's ears. congressman van hollen, thanks so much for your time tonight. >> it's great to be with you, thanks. let me bring in m ssnbc political analyst karen finney. what does this say if indeed

laura ingraham and ann colter and others whip up a guy and got him elected? >> i would say they're very powerful. with the resources, you've got have a ground game, right? there were people there that were receptive to that message who brat was then able to mobilize and get them out to vote. so certainly right wing media has some influence. we won't take that away from them, but you've got to then also -- you've got to get people to the polls. you've got to get them to the polls at the enof the day. >> did he take it for granted he was the second man in control and therefore pretty much on easy street or did he fail to calculate the strength of the position? >> i think it's a couple of things. he didn't work as hard as he needed to. you heard him say at least every week he was in the district. it's my understanding he wasn't niechb the district yesterday on

election day. i think he took a lot of granted. also he didn't have an operation monitoring the impact of the right wing media and the impact the message was having on brat's ability to essentially lower cantor's chances for winning. i have to tell you eric -- i mean michael. it shocks me that yet again you see a republican polling o p racing that's so draw mightily was so off. it's really surprising. >> maybe karl rove was in charge. >> yeah, probably. >> if eric cantor was blown out of his shoes, is shaner shaking in his boots right now? what does this mean for somebody like him? >> of course, it does. look. it definitely suggests if you look at just the dynamic of today and what we're see after the election, i think it's very clear will there's going to be kind of skamble and realignment of power and that's very

dangerous for the republican establishment. thing it's dangerous for america. so, yeah, if you're john boehner, they really thought boehner and cantor and those guys really thought they had control other or found balance. although congressman van hollen pointed out there are a lot of things not getting out that should be. that's kind of balance they struck. can you imagine what happens if those tea party folks end up in the leadership positions? >> speaking of which, are we going get anything dub on immigration reform right now? with the threat of them looming large, what does that door if immigration reform? >> i have to say a lot of pundits say it's dead. i hope that's not the case. certainly i think politically it's going to be a tough thick to do. i don't think boehner is going to be particularly invested in getting it done, but i think it's really important that

groups at least continue to put the pressure on and not accept this as an excuse to not happen. >> does this coup represent an opening for the dechl carats? >> no. i think it makes it tougher for the democrats because one of the dynamics i've seen is republicans are sort of being -- again, as mr. van hollen pointed out, a small group of tea partiers are really sort of driving the agenda, at least in the house and by fear, right? there's so much fear of being primaried by a tea partier and what they might do. i think that continues to be a problem for democrats who are series about trying to get something done unless we continue to take them on and find those voerts and turn out the voerts who want to get something done. >> all right. karen finney, thanks for your time. >> thanks so much. take care.

it caused them to peek out of their shells but now they fierpg rupp back in. >> they're saying, you know, look it is not about immigration reformers, it's that he didn't cake care of. it's not so much a ref rep done on immigration reform but that he didn't work well. they said, look, this guy is a stock act that's going to keep insiders from being something -- practice what they can do, but cantor was the one who said, nah, we've tot knicks this in a certain way. do you think those kind of baseball political facts is it or do you think they got in on the immigration reform? >> i think there are two different questions. first what do republicans if n the house think? i think what matters is republicans in the house think this is immigration.

my eighth grade social studies teacher, mr. kale always said there's a multiplicity of causes in history and tlink are a multiplicity of causes of eric cantor losing his election. i think he lost because he wasn't in his district. he lost because people don't like him and he lost his election because he got outrun on some issues. >> yeah. no doubt about it. thank you. thanks so much for joining us here tonight. >> thanks very much. still ahead, president obama's push ahead to elect young men of color might be the devil in the details. >> he got his bible lessons all wrong. we'll set him straight next. but next i'm taking your questions. ask ed live is next. stay tuned.

look. i ain't no economist so i don't know if he does or not, but i can tell you this. given his wealth, i don't think he needs to stand in an unemployment line. but i do also know this. that when it came time for extending the unemployment insurance for the severely and chronically unemployed, eric cantor was not on board. what did he say? we're concerned about the employed, not the unemployed. about employment, not unemployment. well, today he knows personally what that unemployment is like except he's not suffering like the rest of those people were suffering. here's our next question. it's from maryland. why are the republicans so thrilled at hurting immigrants and not giving them a chance at citizenship? >> boy, i tell you, maryland, i don't like to demonize my opponents, i don't want to think people disbelieve are horrible human beings, but i can tell you

i find no good reason that people can look at those 50 children really being warehoused in such vicious and horrible fashion and think anything else but we have got to help them. we spew a lot of religious discords. we're going to talk about this later. all this christian rhetoric that we're sanctified and saved and believe in the righteousness of god but yet we allow people to suffer in great fashion. the reverend washington says some peel go to church to love god instead of their neighbors. i think some love god more than their neighbors because it demands more of them. if they want to redeem their reputations as human beings, i say they join the rest of us and get concerned about the least of

welcome back to "the ed show." congressman li maman gohmert is much use of your money. gohmert grilled the reverend larry lynn. he tried to make the case nonchristians are going to hell. >> i'm curious. in your christian believes do you believe in sharing the good news that will keep people from going to hell consistent with the christian beliefs? >> you know, i wouldn't agree with your construction of what hell is like or why one gets there, but the broader question is, yes, i'm happy to. when i speak to -- >> okay. so you don't believe somebody would go to hell if they do not believe jesus is the way, the

truth, the life. >> i do not believe people go to hell because they don't believe in a specific set of ideas -- >> no, no, no. not a specific set of ideas. either you believe jesus is the way, the truth, or light or you don't. there's nothing wrong -- >> it takes a lot of nerve for someone who use his faith as a teal to question the faith of a minister. the reverend barry lynn came back with this response. >> congressman what i believe is not necessarily what i think ought to justify the creation of public policy for everybody for the 2,000 different religions that exist in this country, the 25 million non-believers. i've never been offended or afraid to share my belief. >> gohmert wouldn't back down. he ended his exchange with the reverend by reiterating his bogus believe. >> the christian faith as you see it is whatever you choose to

think about christ, whether or not you believe those words that he said nobody basically goes to heaven except through me. >> joining me now is our rapid response panel the reverend barry lynn himself and all-and commentator fugelsang. is he wrong when he says all nonchristians are going to hell? >> no. think he meant that three on the subcommittee who are non-crips are going to hell. this was the most bizarre inquest decision i've ever had. i've testified before all kinds of controversial issues dozens of dozens of times and here in what should have been the hearing on status of religious freedom in america in five minutes became how to avoid hell with the answer being if you're

a christian like congressman go hurt, you go to heaven, if you go to heaven, bye-bye, me, it's hell time. >> you can justify to that yesterday. john, what do you marek of gohmert's position here? >> i don't want to badmouth louis gohmert too much. the only non-christian who went to hell yesterday was eric cant cantor. it's deeply offensive. jesus lived and died as a ju. he'd be in hell with gandhi and all the bands i like. like they want to hear that separation of church and state is some radical liberal idea. was thrilled to see reverend barry there not because i'd like to see him in congress but because church and state is a conservative point of view and

what louie gohmert needs to know about is shep and goats. if you're not looking out for the poor, the circumstance and being nice to those in prison, you're with the goat, not my sheep. and lou wee gohmert's whole brand of christianity is to kill the bill. >> you know what, reverend? that's the great point he's making. why is he getting it so mixed up. what was he trying to accomplish by making such a spurious claim about heaven around hell? >> i don't know what he was trying to prove frankly. it was five minutes and i watched the tape a couple of times and i'm still confuse. i do no the. he's the walking talking example of separation of church and state. we don't need any politicians of any stripe who decides what's the best religion but mr. gohmert uses his religious believes not only to oppose

marriage equality and disapproval of abortion but recently even said in another hearing that comcast should be carrying more channels like the glenn beck network and not coverage al jazeera because they're trying to sneak shari'a law into the united states. this is exactly why we need to keep the church and the state separate. this is why we shouldn't be having the time and tax dollars of america spent on having these religious debate. i could have quoted scripture back to him and i said after the hearing i would be happy to talk theology maybe over lunch, not during a congressional hearing. >> no doubt. maybe it's a separation of church and fate. is he playing to the base? >> yes. he's telling them exactly what they want to hear. he wasn't saying anything whatsoever. let's not forget what he says.

he bears false witness so much that every time he opens his mouth, they have to call their wives and say, honey, i'm not making it home for dinner tonight. louie gohmert is talking. this crap they're selling us, that's exactly what they're selling us and the founding fathers would be disgusted by that. >> oh, my god i could never eat another reese's peanut buttercup again. would zwries be happy with a lot of positions like cutting food stamps and disregarding the poor and beat up on twhoes are vulnerable? >> personally i don't think so. i think jesus was a more inclusive fellow and think that's absolutely clear but i also think my interpretation of scripture in the unlikely event, john, that anyone would elect me to office, i wouldn't be trying to quote my version of scripture

back to somebody else either. we have commonly shared values there. they're the values of the sconce tugs. yesterday's religious freedom, do we have it or don't with, that's a good idea. said we have a dizzying level of it. when it comes to tim possession of religion on other people who suffer because of it, things like denying women contraceptive coverage even under some interpretations by courts of the affordable care act. that's the real issue. that's what should have been talked about yesterday. i had to spend five minutes talking about that and five minutes chatting with another member of congress about some arcane historical issue. there are real questions. women aring are hurt by being denied birth control. that's what we should have been talking about yesterday the entire hearing. >> yes. it might have been good too. look. tell us do you think that jesus would have been voting for louie gohmert? >> no, actually, reverend, i

don't think that. i think jesus would have a lot of problems with the two-party system as it stands. however, it's exactly what jesus talking about in matthew 25. he hung out with lepers, snookers, and crooks, anti-wealth, anti-public prayer. matthew 6-256789 never anti-gay. homeless, middle eastern unarmed jew. that's the guy we're talking. jesus couldn't get a job at house of pancakes and lou wee gohmert and others would be lining up. >> i think -- michael, think that the gentleman who defeated eric cantor announced today that it was a god-given miracle that he won and i think he really was suggesting as so many politicians do here in washington it's like the word

processing program has god bless america automatically attached to every speech on every subject. don't act like god is on your side. he doesn't know political parties. he's not registered. i don't even know if he's shooting. >> louie gohmert said with the colorado shooting, god was. somewhere he's furious. lou wee, hitler will tell you when he sees you. >> i tell you, god wants to be left out of all of this mess to be sure. ref rend barry lin and john fugelsang, thank you very much. >> stop talking about the cheating. he cheated on you. well, he's a man. okay. >> yes, i think those vampire movies are evil. it may give you some kind of a thrill like, you know, whee. >> what is this mac and cheese?

in february, president obama launched an initiative called "my brother's keeper" to address persistent opportunity gaps faced by young men of color. >> i firmly believe that every child deserves the same chances that i had, and that's why we're here today. i'm going to pen this presidential memorandum to determine what we can do right now to improve the odds of young boys and men of color. we're committed to what works, and we call it my brother's keeper. >> plight of young black males has been heavily documented. a report said that only 52% of black males completed high school in four years, compared to 78% of white males. the task force for my brother's keeper identified six major milestones that can affect the life trajectory of minority boys and men. the milestones include, entering school ready to learn, reading at grade level by third grade, graduating from high school ready for college, completing

post secondary education, entering the workforce, and reducing neighborhood violence, but as the program moves forward, the outcry for a similar initiative focused on the needs of girls and young women of color has grown louder. dr. paniel joseph of tuft's university joins me now. professor joseph, thanks so much for coming on. recently, more than 200 black men, scholars, educators, civil rights advocates, including yourself, expressed your concerns about the need for a similar program dedicated to the unique plight of girls and young women of color. do you think president obama will listen, and tell us why it's important to have both and not either/or? >> well, doc, thanks for having me on. i think it's crucially important to think about young girls, because young girls are facing the same crises these young black boys are facing, and i think when we leave young girls

out of the equation, it's disappointing, because when we think about sexism and misogyny and trying to transform poverty and really the marginalization of black youth in our culture, black women, young girls, have to be a big part of that. >> picking on where you left off there, school suspension for black girls are far greater than their white counterparts. by their 18th birthday, more than half are sexually assaulted, so shouldn't there be a program for early intervention for them, as well? >> absolutely. i think one of the great things about my brother's keeper and when you read the 60-page task force report, is they are doing things like thinking about how do we make young boys role model nonviolence against women, and that's crucially important. but when we think about what black women are facing, black women are disproportionately heading poor households in the

united states, for example, black women's wealth gap between black and white women is enormous, so the idea of a pipeline, you talk about cradle to college pipeline and ladders of opportunity, it can't just be for young black boys. >> why is it so hard to think about these things in simultaneous fashion, historically, black women have been marginalized, been largely male and masculine lens through which it's been viewed. why is it so difficult to see the necessity of breaking both to bear? >> i think what's happening now, the enormous rates of african-american men in prison, they are not doing well. in fact, this conversation when we think about for the black community is very important. you're a role model and inspiration to millions of black people, but especially black men. and so i think the crisis that black males are facing is deep, it's genuine, it's real, but

sometimes it makes us overlook the fact that we have to think about our young girls and transforming the culture that they live in, as well. >> thank you, sir, thanks for your time tonight. that's "the ed show," i'm michael eric dyson in for edward snowden -- ed schultz. "politics nation" starts right now. >> thanks, dr. dyson, and thanks to you for tuning in. tonight's lead, after shock, confusion in the republican party after majority leader eric cantor's defeat, and his announcement late today that he'll step down next month from his job as number two leader in the house. his defeat reignites the struggle for the heart and soul of the party. remember, it was congressman cantor who fed the tea party beast and who led the charge of
