continue to cover the story. emotions are high in the middle of the country of. very controversial. that's if you are for it. it's not controversial for those against it. they have the facts on this. that's "the ed show." i'm ed schultz. "politics nation" with reverend al sharpton starts now. good evening, rev. >> good evening, ed. thanks to you for tuning in. tonight's lead -- do something! that was president obama's message today to house republicans as they ignore a loom willing crisis. the highway trust fund which pays for projects to keep our roads and bridges safe will run out of money next month. >> congress does not act by the end of the summer, the highway trust fund will run out. won't be money there. all told, nearly 700,000 jobs

could be at risk. that's like laying off the entire population of denver, seattle or boston. that's a lot of people. it would be a bad idea. >> it would be a terrible idea. the white house is already telling states to brace themselves s. the huffington post reported that when the trust fund gets below a certain point, states will no longer be reimbursed for transportation are projects as they send in bills. president obama's proposed raising the funds by closing tax loopholes. he's also taking executive action. to get projects approved more quickly. the president is acting and he's warning republicans it's time they do the same. >> it's not crazy. it's not socialism. [ laughter ]

it's not, you know, the imperial presidency. no laws are are broken. we are just building roads and bridges like we have been doing for the last -- i don't know -- 50, a hundred years? but so far house republicans have refused to act on this. i haven't heard a good reason why. it's not like they have been busy with other stuff. new york ci no, seriously. i mean, they're not doing anything. why don't they do this? >> infrastructure isn't a red or a are blue state issue. if congress won't act, projects across the country will be in jeopardy. projects like replacing the broadway bridge in little rock, arkansas. it was built in the 1920s.

around 24,000 vehicles travel across it every day. officials say the bridge is structure are rally deficient. and a construction was supposed to start soon. >> everyone knows it needs to be fixed. nobody has come up with a solution that enough of them can agree on. >> that solution has to come from congress and washington, d.c. bennett added without a highway trust fund replenishment, 750 million of construction projects in the state over the next 15 months and 20,000 arkansas jobs would be lost. >> it's not just an arkansas. as president obama said, if congress doesn't act, 700,000 jobs are at risk across the country. i can think about 700,000 reasons for congress to figure this out. joining me now, congressman

michael capuano, democrat of massachusetts, and former pennsylvania governor ed rendel. thank you for being here. >> thanks. >> our pleasure, ed. >> congressman, you are on the house transportation & infrastructure committee. do your republican colleagues want the to are prevent the construction projects just don't exist? >> everybody want it is ps the . it is the question of whether or not you are willing to pay. ronald reagan raised the gas tax twice. eisenhower, twice. reagan more than doubled the gas tax. the chamber of commerce has come out for an increase. there are a dozen proposals for other ways to fund the trust fund. yet we can't get a nickel into it. we are on ating on the same tax levelled in 1994. obviously costs have gone up, wages have are gone up. people are driving less.

people are driving more fuel efficient cars. this is a no-brainer. if you want the projects you have to come up with the money. if you don't come up with the must be, you will lose the projects, lose the jobs, hurt the economy. >> now, governor, you have been passionate about this issue. as you know better than most critical federal money is. pennsylvania receives about 5.1 billion dollars annually from the highway trust fund. what kind of uncertainty would it create for states if the money is in jeopardy, governor? >> the states are going to are have to cancel projects. it's not just new projects. it is repair of old are projects like the bridge referenced in arkansas. we have a bridge on 495, the nation's busiest highway. it's a spin-off of 95. 140,000 vehicles a day go over it. it's closed because it is

structurally deficient and there is danger there. we have to do it for economic competitiveness and quality of life and also for public safety. how is congress going to stand by and not invest in maintaining infrastructure? you wouldn't buy a car and not invest in keeping it up and make sure it keeps running well and smoothly. we have bridges over a hundred years old that need repair. this is no joke are. we have to the put our political ideology aside. as the president says, invest money in doing something that's important to the country. if the republican wasn's don't understand that, i don't understand what their plan is. to become economicallien uncompetitive? have more bridge collapses? i don't understand what their plan is. the states are doing their part including wyoming, virginia, even pennsylvania. governor corbett and i had a press conference with him. we raised the state gas tax. we cannot do it without federal

help. >> infrastructure wasn't always a partisan issue. in 2005, president bush signed a major infrastructure law. 47 senate republicans voted for it. 217 house republicans voted efo it. they supported infrastructure spending when a republican was in the white house. this all politics? >> it seems to be ideology laced with police car. people who think all taxeses all the time, all revenue, all government spending is bad. this is a case where dwight eisenhower built every inch of the interstate highway system which runs through every state. every inch was paid for with gas tax money. i guess it's no longer any good. i wouldn't mind if somebody came up with a different idea. we could have that debate. whoever wins, wins. there is nothing on the table. there is no proposal by the other side. that's what botherses me more than anything else.

>> governor, it is not just the infrastructure. they are just refusing to move and take action in any number of issues. the president talked about it today. listen. >> so far this year, republicans in congress are have blocked or voted down every serious idea to strengthen the middle class. not ideas that are unique to me. you know, this isn't obama bridge. it's keys bridge. but the republicans said no to raisinging the minimum wage. no to fair pay. they have said no to extending unemployment insurance for over 3 million americans looking for a new job. and this obstruction keeps the system rigged for those who are doing fine, at the very are top. >> i mean, does this message resonate with regular people, governor? >>i believe it's beginning to get through, rev.

the congressman said it. there is insanity that all government spending is bad. there is wasteful government spending but there is important and useful government spending and the key is to discern the difference between them. something like infrastructure is vitally needed. minimum wage, obviously. the american people are strongly in favor of those things. we've got to get politicians who can get beyond ideology and do something to inare vest in the growth of this country. if we did infrastructure right, not only would we not lose 70,000 jobs but we would produce a couple of million good-paying, 50, 60, 70,000 a year jobs. everyone talks about middle class jobs. they are phonies, not willing to invest in something we know creates good jobs. >> congressman michael capuano and governor ed rendell. thank you for your time tonight. >> thanks, al. >> thanks, reverend. >> coming up, speaker boehner

finds out what backfiring looks like. his bogus lawsuit isn't slowing down president obama at all. >> we can't wait for congress to oh actually get going on issues that are vital to the middle class. >> plus, backlash to the supreme court toxic rulings on women's rights. wait until you see how chris christie tries to deal with it. 50 years ago tonight, america was on the verge of a landmark law. the civil rights act was about to transform america forever. stay with us. each year, 95% of homeowners won't have a claim. that's why allstate claim free rewards

gives you money back for every year you don't have one. and why if you're part of the other 5%, allstate offers claim rateguard. so your rates won't go up just because of a claim. no matter what comes your way, your home protects you. ...protect it back allstate home insurance from an allstate agent.

president obama's defiance to speaker boehner's lawsuit has our facebook community fired up. leslie said, "i hope that the president becomes even more aggressive in his remarks, keep boehner on the defensive." kenneth said, "president obama is calling his bluff, as he should." i agree with that. bill said, "the president looks like he's enjoying himself. this ridiculous stand may very well backfire on the republicans." that's true, bill. more evidence of that today. we'll be talking about that more a little later in the show. but we want to know what you think. please head over to our facebook page to join the conversation that keeps going long after the show ends. i'm k-a-t-e and i have copd, but i don't want my breathing problems to get in the way

my volunteering. that's why i asked my doctor about b-r-e-o. once-daily breo ellipta helps increase airflow from the lungs for a full 24 hours. and breo helps reduce symptom flare-ups that last several days and require oral steroids, antibiotics, or hospital stay. breo is not for asthma. breo contains a type of medicine that increases risk of death in people with asthma. it is not known if this risk is increased in copd. breo won't replace rescue inhalers for sudden copd symptoms and should not be used more than once a day. breo may increase your risk of pneumonia, thrush, osteoporosis, and some eye problems. tell your doctor if you have a heart condition or high blood pressure before taking breo. ask your doctor about b-r-e-o for copd. first prescription free at mybreo.com

with its decision to give family-run companieses the right to deny their female employees certain forms of birth control, the supreme court unleashed a new phase in the war on women. ones that already having a powerful impact on american politics. hillary clinton condemned the ruling, calling it a slippery slope. >> i think there should be a real outcry against this kind of decision. and there will be many more now. look, many more companies will claim religious beliefs and some will be sincere. but others, maybe not. and we are going to see this one insurable service cut out for

many, many women. >> now along with hobby lobby, 82 other corporations could drop birth control coverage based on their religious objections. reproductive rights activists are already promising to fight back. saying they will make the decision a key issue in the fall midterms. naral's president said this will be a main conversation point in 2014. emily's list called it a stark reminder of how important it is for democrats to keep hold of the senate. and that they want every woman to get out and vote in november. democrats are ready to use the court's decision to boost their 2014 election campaigns. the ruling is now history. now it's time to move forward and put in the hard work to make progress. joining me now, elizabeth plank,

senior editor for mike.com. and msnbc's joy reed. thank you for being here. >> good to be here. >> joy, the right is calling this a victory for their side. could it backfire in the midterms? >> i think as a matter of optics, it's actually not a good day for conservatives. this is not about abortion. this is a ruling about basic contraception, something that 90 plus women have direct experience with. it's a vast majority of particularly single woman which is a group republican dos poorly with support the idea of the mandate for contraception coverage. it can be expensive. the idea that the court has carved out this birth control as something these companies because of oh their religious beliefs don't have to fund, optically, it's really not a good day for the right. it does look like peering into people's personal lives and making decisions that we are going to with hold something

most women agree we should have. >> in that light, politico report that is the ruling could boost democrats' 2014 campaigns. one democratic senate campaign director called the court's decision, quote, a disappointment for democrats, but it does put a big welcome spotlight on republicans' support for personhood initiatives and other measures that will go much further than today's decision to outlaw common forms of birth control. i mean, where else do you see opportunities for democrats in this? >> if there was any doubt that there is a war on women being waged by the republican party that doubt has been squashed. as joy mentioned it's not just about birth control or borgesab. it's about obamacare. we heard every major are figure with the exception of chris christie and skos scott walker

talk about repealing obamacare. flashback to the past. obamacare brought 27 million women a right and access to birth control. a law that made sure being a woman is no longer a pre-existing condition, that women don't have to pay premiums for being women. you can bet women will go to the polls and vote against a party that -- >> that's significant, joy. women are a key voting bloc. take a look at this. florida, virginia, ohio and several swing states women voted for president obama by a significant margin. that's a lot of power at the polls: it shows how important the women's vote is in winning elections. >> you have women running in georgia, kentucky. you have a lot of women up for re-election. kay hagan, mary landrieu. and now you have two rulingses within five days of each other.

one striking down the buffer zone where abortion act are vis can get closer to women. think this is more powerful. it does remind women, voter who is care about women's access to birth control, it is the senate that would have to confirm anybody who would be nominated by president obama for the supreme court. should a vacancy arise if you had a republican-controlled senate you could see the court tip further to the right. if birth control is on the table -- >> couldn't get a confirmation. >> exactly. >> when you look at the fact, elizabeth, that the ruling has the party in a bit of chaos -- the republican party -- new jersey governor chris christie, as a case in point, was asked about the supreme court decision today on cnbc. watch this big dodge. >> was the supreme court right in its decision? >> who knows? is the supreme court right? the fact is when you're an executive your supreme court makes a ruling and you have to live with it unless you can get

the legislative body to change the law or the constitution. why give an opinion on whether they are right or wrong? in the end of the day, they did what they did. that's the law of the land unless people in te lekted branches try to change it. >> the governor is clearly side-stepping the issue. does this present a problem for the gop? >> i think -- to the majority are of americans, birth control is not a controversial issue. 9 of 10 americans do not think there is anything immoral about birth control. 6 of 10 americans agree with the birth control are mandate. even a majority of catholics and especially when you look at catholic women are really not on the side of the supreme court on this. i think some members of the gop actually know that. chris christie knows that and he acted on that. >> joy, this may be a real trigger for a real momentum in the mid-term elections that we

may not have seen, particularly among women voters nationwide. maybe in a state that didn't have a woman running. >> absolutely. the reality is abortion is a divisive issue, but birth control is not. it's very over wewhelmingly one sid sided. some women may say that's a tough moral question. if contraception is on the table, young women will be shock ed to find out that this is not something that's already settled into law. that the court could take something as common as birth control, make it unavailable and put religion over women's health? that's huge. >> or even the possibility of someone claiming relij i don't say ti. this opens the door to those who want to manipulate and maneuver. i had several people raise to me on my radio show and my office

that it's interesting they had no problem with covering men getting certain -- >> viagra is covered. >> they had no objection to that. but the objection was to women with contraception, not birth control here. >> i think ironies are popping out yesterday, today and this week. as joy mentioned, unmarried women who were basically determined the fate of the last presidential are election. women of color who decided the gubernatorial election. it's going to be different this time around. >> how do republican women running for office handle this, squoi? >> you saw chris christie dodging and squirming. the problem for him and for all republicans including female candidates is there is a requirement in the republican

party to be on these issues. it puts all of the candidateses in jeopardy if they can't stand against the ruling. i don't buy the alito limiting rule saying this is just about these two the forms of birth control. what's next? people will be asking what's next? blood transfusionse? yes, we are told that won't happen. we have seen rulings expand far beyond the initial scope before. republicans are in big trouble if they can't stand up against the ruling and they won't be able to. >> i will leave it there. thank you for your time tonight. be sure to watch joy on "the reid report" weekdays at 2:00 p.m. eastern on msnbc. ahead, the gop's big blunder. speaker boehner wants to sue the president but he's getting a political verdict he never expected. why the white house loves it and how the president is taking advantage.

middle class families can't wait for republicans in congress to do stuff. so sue me. as long as doing nothing, i'm not going to apologize for trying to do something. >> so sue me. that was president obama's message today to speaker boehner whose absurd lawsuit is now backfiring big time. because it's actually emboldening and energizing the president to speak out and take more executive alaskas. today, the president was back at it. >> my belief, think shared by most americans, that we can't wait for congress to actually get going on issues that are vital to the middle class. what i'm going to be continually pushing throughout this year are and for the next couple of years

is that if congress can't act on core issues that would actually make a difference in helping middle class families get ahead then we are going to have to be creative about how we can make real progress. >> the president telling his cabinet to find additional areas for executive action. he follows his vow to take action on immigration this summer and his announcement last night of an executive action protecting trans-gender federal workers. speaker boehner, how is that lawsuit working out for you? nbc's first read reports the white house is loving the politics of boehner's lawsuit because it shows just are how little his congress is doing. but i guess in his world, that means he's doing a great job as speaker. >> any way you cut it and whoever's fault it is, you have

presided over what is perhaps the the least productive and certainly one of the least popular congresses in history. how do you feel about that? >> well, bob, we should not be judged on how many new laws we create. we ought the to be judged on how many laws we repeal. >> the block everything strategy backfireded. this bogus lawsuit, is, too. thanks to speaker boehner, there is a spotlight on the dysfunctional gop and the president is shining it even brighter. joining me now is goldie taylor and jimmy williams. thank you for being here. >> good evening. >> p thank you, reverend sharp ton. >> goldie, is this lawsuit backfiring for real on speaker boehner as i'm claiming? >> it absolutely is. at the end of the day, the lawsuit itself was a short shift to the real impeachment they would like to put on the table, but it isn't about speaker bane wither. it is about what the base is

pushing him to do. tea partiers want to delegitimize this president in any way they can conceive of. will the lawsuit go through before the midterms? absolutely not. will they pick specific issues that they can get to repeal or get the supreme court to reel back on? absolutely not. will it drum up votes? probably. what it has done is cost more donation fos the dnc and will drum up the democratic base for the fall. >> jimmy, more reports on the lawsuit backfiring. nbc's first read says the white house believes, "the lawsuit only emphasizes the contrast that one branch of government is doing something while the other branch is doing nothing." bottom line, the white house sees a political opportunity here that

republicans might not have are seen coming. did republicans ever expect this to boomerang and actually energize the president? >> no. i don't think so. suing the president is a stunt. it is what it is. i could careless if speaker boehner sues the president of the united states. we have a president everybody is calling a lame duck. first he has air force one with. he can run around the country like george bush did, by the way, and go from pocket to pocket and energize voters and now executive actions, the pen and the phone. that's wonderful. here is the most important thing he has sitting in the back pocket with air force one. he's got a supreme court that has said to women, you don't matter. he's got a supreme court last year that said to african-americans we don't care about your voting rights. he said we have a supreme court that said to gay americans, i tell you what, we don't want to

decide whether you can have marriage equality. we'll let the states decide like a weird segregation moment. here's the bottom line. you have a lame duck president with air force one, an electorate, a base, pockets of the base that at this point are remarkably ticked off. that's good for us in an off year, very good. >> it's good if they turn out. >> that's right. >> the president also is talking about all the things republicans have said no to. listen. >> we have seen a congress that said no to increasing the minimum wage, said no to immigration reform, said no to equal pay legislation. the only thing they seem to say yes to, the republicans in the house at least, is more tax breaks for folks at the top. >> was this lawsuit an attempt by the gop to distract voters from their record? >> you know, i think it was an attempt by speaker boehner and

the rnc to drum up votes for this fall. yes, to distract from their record are of obstruction. this president is in a lame duck term of his term. this duck is still quacking. >> right. >> he's got a pen and he's got air force one. he's out there drumming up votes, showing where he'll make action where the republicans refuse. sure. republicans want to repeal legislation. what they ought to be about doing is crafting solutions for the country. they ought to talk about getting children off the border. comprehensive immigration reform. they ought to talk about fair wages, meaningful work. they ought to talk about staying out from between a woman and her doctor. they are talking about ways to delegitimize the president and make his last years in office n ineffective. they are not going to be successful. >> jimmy, here are some areas the white house is considering future executive alaska.

the president wantses to move on immigration. a possible fix in the hobby lobby condition and the president talked about helping the middle class get ahead. big picture, how much can the president actually get done without congress? >> he's limited. his options are narrow. but here is the great news. he sounds freed right now. he's not running for re-election. he said, so sue me. so we do a hashtag which says so sue me which is great. it goes viral. the president is basically giving the middle finger to the republicans. it's fantastic. more importantly, he's daring them saying i'm going to sign these things and i dare you to do anything about it going into the elections. i hope he does. he's a big advocate of a strong executive and legislative branch and fighting it out.

when one isn't playing except politically not mass passing legislation, he has to do something. let him do it. let him sue him. he could care less. for all intents and purposes it's done. he'll be gone and hillary clinton will be running for president. so it doesn't matter except that it's here to rally our base. if i'm the republicans i would be very, very scared of going into these fall elections considering what the supreme court has done the last two years and what the congress hasn't done. >> you know, the chairman of the republican national committee, i had to look at this today. he said he's surprised the president isn't backing down. his quote, "with the house of representatives filing a lawsuit to curb obama's presidential overreach, you'd think this administration would get the message. our constitution is not a list of suggestions."

i mean, someone isn't getting the message. it appears to be the chairman of the rnc, doesn't it? >> you know, i think they pushed all in on a bet when they had a pair of deuces in their hands. unfortunately, this president called them on that bet and they have to show their hand. at the end of the day it is about politics. it's not working out the way they planned. it's not going to drum up the kind of votes they thought it would drum up. it is going to energize the democratic base. jimmy's right. the supreme court keeps handing gifts to this president that he can take to the. campaign trail and really show the difference between the two parties. show the dinchs legislatively and who can take the country forward in terms of being in the white house. this is the gift that keeps on giving. for speaker boehner i say tonight, sue him. >> and he shows in this supreme court decision why a lot of people will come out and vote

not to make sure we have a republican senate because if there is an opening, they will absolutely eradicate a lot of things we want or will block a nomination by are barack obama as president. goldie taylor, jimmy williams, thank you for your time tonight. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> coming up, 50 years ago tonight america was on the verge of changing forever. what the civil rights act meant for our country and our president. but first, a toddler critically injured during a police raid. officers burst into a house without knocking and threw a stun grenade in a crib. his mother tells us how the little boy is doing next. nineteen years ago, we thought, "wow, how is there no way to tell the good from the bad?" so we gave people the power of the review. and now angie's list is revolutionizing local service again. you can easily buy and schedule services

a toddler is on the road to recovery tonight five weeks after he was are critically injured when a policeman threw a stun grenade into his crib. 20-month-old boo-boo poncevon and his family were staying with relatives in georgia when a fire destroyed their home. a drug swat team broke down the door to this house where boo-boo and his family were sound asleep. police were with executing a no-knock arrest warrant.

searching for suspected drug dealer who was not there. as they broke down the door, police lobbed a flash-bang grenade into the house in an attempt to distract anyone inside. the grenade landed right on boo-boo's pillow. the boy was left with severe body and brain injuries and put into a medically induced coma by doctors. federal and state officials launched investigations into how the raid went so wrong. today we learned boo-boo is making progress. he was just released from the hospital and will start rehabilitation. it's a bit of good news as many continue to question whether this tragedy ever had to happen in the first place. joining me now the child's mother alicia and her lawyer mauli mel davis.

thanks for joining us. >> thank you forring is us. >> thank you. >> take us back to that night. what happened during the raid? >> my family and i were sleeping. we heard a very loud noise. and then we seen bright light and more loud noises. they came rushing in. and an officer got on top of my husband and pinned him down. and my kids were screaming. my son started screaming. i went to grab him and another member of the swat team picked him up. he was holding him at a downward angle away from me so i could not see him. >> wow. >> he was screaming. i kept telling the officer, just give him to me. let me have him. he's scared.

let me have him. when i went to take my son from the officer, he told me to go sit down. >> could you sense something was wrong with your son? >> no. i had no idea. i could not see him. everybody was kind of in shock. at 3:00 in the morning, everybody was sleeping, you know. you wake up suddenly, you're not aware of what's going on. >> what did you see later at the hospital when you saw your are son? >> his face was blown up. his nose wasn't attached to his face. his mouth was split in so many spots i couldn't even recognize my son. >> attorney davis, the police are saying they went in the house searching for a drug deal thor and drug deals. there were no drugs found.

who they were looking for was not there. and this young man, this boy is are laying in this kind of condition for nothing other than this no-knock kind of procedure that they can go through with the with warrant. >> that's right, rev. the thing i think everyone should know is that they did apprehend the men they were looking for about a file away after alicia and her family said, oh, he lives down the street. they went and knocked on the door. he came to the door and they arrested him without incident. they didn't bother to try another no-knock search warrant. if he was such a threat you would think they would have done it again. it's unbelievable. >> the police are saying they had no idea any kids were in the house. how do you respond to that? >> i would say they were blind

or deaf or, you know, just plain stupid and arrogant. >> why would you say that? >> because we had our minivan next to the door. we had family decals on the back windshield. there is a pack & play not two feet from the door under the window, clears as day. you would have the to go between the van and the pack and play to get to the door. >> four car seats were in the minivan. there is a minivan they had to walk past with four car seats in it. >> wow. >> you know they have to look in there before they enter the premises to make sure no one is inside of the minivan that creates a threat for their team. >> so they had to look in the minivan and see the car seats which would suggest children. alicia, have police apologized for what they did? >> no. they have not made a phone call. no card, no teddy bear, balloon. no nothing of any kind of an apologile to the family or to my

son. >> our prayers are certainly with you and your family. thanks to you are and to your attorney mel davis. we thank you both for joining us tonight. >> thank you, reverend sharp ton. we appreciate you. >> for more information on the case, go to justiceandprayersfor boubou.org. coming up, 50 years ago tonight america was about to change forever. but first, team usa comes up just short. but they made us all very are proud are. that's next. when you run a business, you can't settle for slow.

50 years ago tonight the country was about to change forever. president johnson was hours away from signing the civil rights act into law. from that point you could no longer discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex or national origin. >> this civil rights act is a challenge to all of us. to go to work in our communities and our states and our homes and in our hearts to eliminate the last vestiges of injustice in our beloved country. >> dr. martin luther king, jr., was alongside president johnson for the signing symbolizing the

end of one era and the beginning of another. president obama recently honored the 50th an verse ary of the civil rights act at the lbj presidential library in texas. he was personal when reflecting back. >> in a time when cynicism is often passed off as wisdom it's perhaps easy to conclude that there are limits to change, that we are trapped by our own history, and politics is a fool's errand. and we would be better off if we rolled back big chunks of lbj's legacy. i reject that cynicism because i have lived out the promise of lbj's efforts. because michelle has lived out the legacy of those efforts. because my daughters have lived out the legacy of those efforts. because i and millions of my generation were in a position to take the baton he handed to us. >> i agree with the president. i reject it, too, because i'm
