start shopping from a list of top-rated providers today. angie's list is revolutionizing local service again. visit angieslist.com today. good morning o, everyone. this morning the president has another problem to deal with. republicans planning to sue the president over the health care law. they've been threatening action because of what they see the as the president's overreach. speaker john boehner will ask congress for permission to sue the president for his decision to delay the employer mandate. next wednesday the house will hold a hearing to talk about the way forward. before we even knew the details, the president was firing back at the gop. >> you hear some of them. i would assume -- impeach him.
7:01 am
really? really? for what? >> now hours before the suit was announced, the house speaker fired up gave us a preview. >> it's not about the executive actions. every president does executive orders. what we're talking about here is places where the president is basically rewriting law to make it fit his own needs. >> there you have it. joining me now is nbc news senior political reporter perry bacon and reporter jackie. >> let me start with you. if nothing else, this is a new level to the animosity between the president and the gop and the days of even a chance of getting something done between this white house and this congress officially ended. >> it ended awhile ago. i think it's a low point for boehner and obama working together. they played golf together. there was talk when boehner became speaker after 2010 they
7:02 am
could work together on big agreements. you see we're at the low point now. the whole week about them firing shots at each other. boehner was infatic in saying if the president's jobs to fix problems. he's had 5 1/2 years and obama's rhetoric, we saw yesterday sharp. he talked about impeachment for himself the first time. the intensity of the rhetoric is strong. in term of the results here, it's not because the lawsuit is going change very much. the republicans don't support the employer mandate themselves that they're filing suit over. it's not going to change in terms of the health care law. the immigration debate is moving toward some agreement yesterday. >> let's get down to the details. jackie, why the employer mandate delay and not something on immigration reform. the gop dominated house voted for this delay? july. you can take a look there. on top of that the aca employer mandate delay was on the 22nd
7:03 am
and the white house as well. on the legislation, why this and not something on immigration? >> well, obamacare is something a lot of republicans agree on. most republicans agree on. you can't say the same for immigration where they're pretty divided as to what should be done there. i think it's something that isn't going to divide the gop going forward. it goes to the rules committee next wednesday. it's going to pass out the rules committee as a very republican dominated committee. it will probably pass the house floor. it goes to the federal government. it allows john boehner not to pursue impeachment. it shows he's challenging the president without taking that next step. >> right. perry, i want to turn to immigration right now and the politics that have. the house has the president's request for $3.7 billion to deal with the crisis. something one reporter pressed boehner on yesterday. take a listen. i can tell you this, we're not
7:04 am
giving the president a blank check. it's the problem of the president's own making. he's been president for a 1/2 years. when he is going to take responsibility for something? >> so boehner is not going to get immigration reform passed if he doesn't want the to take executive action, what does congress need to do in terms of dealing with the issue? >> i thought it had a blot of bluffs here. there was a lot of convergence yesterday around the idea that one changing the 2008 law to make it easier to deport children from countries that are not mexico and canada. there was some convergence around that idea. adding more border security at the border. most of the $3 billion the republicans not objecting to the idea in it. i think you can see down the line some kind of bill passing. there's room for that. there is broad agreement on most of the real details. setting up places for these kids to go while they're trying to
7:05 am
speed up the legal process for them as well. >> senators mccain and flake introduced legislation yesterday to send the kids home and just last hour, a democratic critic of the president appeared on the daily rundown where luke asked him about the criticism. he didn't back down. take a listen to the exchange. >> how many people are you speaking for in your caucus? nancy pelosi seems to say you were on an island yesterday. >> the island i lived is called the border. the border has been neglected not only by the president honestly by other folks. >> all right, so the white house even visited his office on wednesday to does his concerns. where do the politics of the border crisis go from here after the president's back in d.c. after the trip to texas. >> the white house didn't want the president on the border and the congressman has been critical all week. he's not going to stop. this is a huge issue in his district. you would imagine he doesn't have a lot of incentive to stop.
7:06 am
and i think you hear a lot of democrats quietly criticizing the president. and they have to be careful not to -- if republicans change the bill too much, or change their president's request too much, he's going start losing democrats who don't think that this 2008 law should be changed. >> so there any solution here? are we going see the back and forth over and over again? >> i do think there is going to be some solution here. like i said, i think boehner -- the language i heard yesterday it's not the like the broader immigration bill is not going to pass any time soon. it's poll lar iparized. i think on the particular border crisis. there are some common principles. john mccain, jeff flake, the president in the same place. >> they've been on the same place on immigration for a long time. >> sure. that's not necessarily new. we're talking about senators that have supported immigration
7:07 am
reform. but i think the devil is in the details, and it's going to be a tough sell. >> all right. thank you. and the president obama is offering u.s. help to negotiate an end to the violence israel and hamas. he condemned the rocket attacks in a phone call with benjamin netanyahu. they launched missiles since the begin of the con indicate. what officials are calling the most serious attack it hit a gas station. israel fired more than 1100 rockets. the death toll has topped 100. and for the first time during the conflict, three rockets were fired into israel from lebanon. no one was hurt and no major damage. secretary of state john kerry is in afghanistan today trying to broker a deal between the country's rival presidential
7:08 am
candidates. former finance minister and former -- are locked in a bit ere fight over the run off election. secretary kerry is trying to convince both to hold off on declaring victory or trying to set up a government until the u.n. can audit the extensive voter fraud allegations. the political crisis could undermine a dead of work the u.s. has put in to lead behind a stable afghanistan. new details are emerging about the suspect and events leadsing up to the horrific shooting rampage near houston that killed six including four children. authorities say 33-year-old ronald lee haskell faced previous charges. his own mother got a restraining order against him. we are live in texas. what is the latest on the investigation? >> betty, good morning. he's expected to be in court at this hour to face a judge and
7:09 am
face charges of murdering six people in his ex-wife's family. the 15-year-old girl the sole survivor may have prevented other family members from receiving the same fate. six different colored balloons released into the air. symbols of the lives lost in a deadly shooting in the houston suburbing. late wednesday night police officials in harris county said ron lee haskell forced his way into the home of his ex-wife's sister katie stay and her husband stephen trying to find out where his ex-wife and children were living. the five kids were the only ones home. haskell holding them at gunpoint until their parents returned and opening member on the family. the sole survive is 15-year-old cassidy stay called police to tell them where haskell was headed. >> we were able to dispatch deputies to the location. our understanding he was --
7:10 am
>> he's armed and dangerous. >> after a slow speed pursuit. >> coming up there. >> and a 3 1/2 hour standoff haskell surrendered to authorities. this his latest run in with the law. in 2008 a guilty plea to domestic violence for assaulting his wife. >> he had been hurting her and she decided to leave at that time. >> haskell's wife filed for divorce a year ago. agreeing to a mutual restraining order with haskell only having supervised visits with their four children. then just last week, haskell's 61 year-old mother filed this restraining order. saying her son had duct taped her wrists and choked her until she passed out. then he told me he was going to kill me, my family, and any officer who stops him. this morning, back in texas, a community mourns the loss of cassidy's family.
7:11 am
the lone survivor is being hailed a hero. cassidy's grandfather released a statement late last night it reads in part, we're ah of the bravery and courage of her calling 9-1-1, her act like slaved our lives. betty? >> thank you for that report. coming up more on the desperate journey across the border. >> every day just before dawn, central american immigrants pile into wooden boats like this. the owner didn't want though the face, he did show us the points where the boats leave. coyotes charge $7,000 per person, he tells me. illegal journey to the u.s. begins here. >> how to care for the thousands of kids next.

7:15 am
today the homeland security secretary jay johnson will get a first hand look at the newly opened shelter. it come days off johnson urged lawmakers to approve the president's $3.7 billion emergency funding request to deal with the thousands of immigrants crossing into america. part of the funding would be usinged to speed up the deportation of minors. tom harkin took lawmakers to task on that. >> you know, my ears are hearing round them up and ship them back. sounds like we're dealing with cattle. round them up and ship them back. >> chris is director of disaster recovery for the texas baptist conventi convention. he was among the faith leaders who met with president obama on wednesday. we are joined by the director of
7:16 am
the my graigrants rights. >> chris, take us inside your meeting with the president and governor perry. what was discussed? >> well, it was quite an interesting meeting. it's not too often that someone has the opportunity to sit in one small room with your local mayor and your congressman and your commission er, governor of your state, and president. it was quite a hummabling experien -- humbling experience. >> what did they say? >> the president wanted to hear from us. it was the people around the table that did the talking. certainly he responded but he went around the table and asked each of us to share our concerns, our needs, our ideas. and everyone was very forthcoming and giving
7:17 am
suggestions on what can be done specifically helping the kids that are here now. there's issues of securing the border and issues of immigration. but those issues are really bigger than what we were able to handle. so our discussion really focussed on what could we do to help the situation that existed in our state right now? >> got you. michelle, i want to talk about the desperation situation they are leaving behind in central america. nearly 40,000 minors have crossed the border since last october. the murder rates in these countries are among the highest in the world, to put it in perspective. yet the first lady of graduate maul will said the children are not fleeing the violence, they're simply reuniting with their families in the u.s. is she right? >> well, you know, children are leaving for a host of reasons. there's always a combination of factors that makes somebody decide something as serious as leaving their home.
7:18 am
especially in case. take the incredibly dangerous journey to the united states. these kids and their parents know full well how dangerous the journey is. they're making a life or death decision. what we hear from the families and from the children is that they are desperate to leave because of the violence. they know the trip is dangerous. and they decide that if they stay home they will most certainly die. but if they make the journey they might survive. they're not only coming to the united states. those that come to the united states often have family here. we're also seeing very large increases in the number of children and families leaving these same countries and going to places like nicaragua, costa rica, panama, belize. that area has seen a 712% increase in the number of arrivals from the same countries. >> that's staggering. >> it's not just coming to the united states. >> nbc stefanie has been reporting from the region. i want to play part of her
7:19 am
report from guatemala and have you take a look at that. it. >> i'm here with the military here steps away. immigrants come here. this is where, in this town, they cut their deal with coyotes. their negotiations with immigrants happen out in the open. right out in the street. and everyone knows it's going on. on the street we see a negotiation taking place. four hondurans two only teens strike a deal with a man in the white hat. >> our producer overheard the conversation. it's a trip for men with no guarantees. we leave on saturday. >> chris, are the governments of these countries turning a blind eye? >> well, betty, as i mentioned earlier the emphasis of our work is helping the kids that are here. there are so many political issues that are involved with this that are certainly important issues. the immigration is important.
7:20 am
we need a comprehensive reform. we need that. we need secure the border. but those things are really not a a part in my immediate concern. our concern is dealing with the children that are here. treating them in a humane way. treating them in a godly way. a christ-like way. they're innocent as far as their coming to this situation. a 4 or 5-year-old child didn't wake up one day and send hey, m les go to the usa. >> there's a human toll at stake. i want to bring you back -- >> it was my hope -- >> go ahead, sir. it's my hope that these kids will see -- when they think of our country. when they think of our country they'll think america treated me
7:21 am
kindly. as a christian, i hope they will respond by saying they treated me in a godly way. they treated kn eed me in a chre way. >> michelle, i want to ask the same question to you and see the response i can get. when it comes to the people bringing the kids over, the coyotes, why isn't more being done to stop this? >> well, i mean, it's a very important point. i think there is responsibility all the way down the line. again, in this region, the governments in question haven't been able to protect their citizens from organized crime, violence, criminal elements gains. that's one issue. the smugglers and coyotes and traffickers involved are meeting a demand. they've stepped in because there's a huge demand for people who are desperate to get out. as i said the journey is dangerous. it's difficult. people need and people going people who are offering services
7:22 am
for this. that's a big part of the problem. we need to crack down on that. it's not a safe journey. but i will say to in response to what your other guest was saying, you know, there's an important element of how we receive the children. the rhetoric, so far, has been in large part it's an immigration issue. a border issue. we need to send a message and keep the kids out. detain and deport. and i think that's very concerning for us. a lot of these kids really do need and deserve protection. the very least, they need to be treated with respect. with some sort of due process. some will be sent back and should be sent back. but many of them, the u.n. agency for refugee found and interviewing the children almost 60% qualify for international protection. >> all right, michelle. we'll have to leave it there. chris and michelle, thank you for your time today. i appreciate it. this was seen almost one
7:23 am
year ago. george zimmerman found not guilty. what has changed? joy rejoins me after the break with dotes. -- details . eady? can you pick me up at 6:30? ah... (boy) i'm here! i'm here!

intercourse that's painfulit... due to menopausal changes.
7:25 am
the problem isn't likely to go away... ...on its own. so it's time we do something about it. and there's help. premarin vaginal cream. a prescription that does what no over-the-counter product was designed to do. it provides estrogens to help rebuild vaginal tissue and make intercourse more comfortable. premarin vaginal cream treats vaginal changes due to menopause and moderate-to-severe painful intercourse caused by these changes. don't use premarin vaginal cream if you've had unusual bleeding, breast or uterine cancer, blood clots, liver problems, stroke or heart attack, are allergic to any of its ingredients or think you're pregnant. side effects may include headache, pelvic pain, breast pain, vaginal bleeding and vaginitis. estrogen may increase your chances of getting cancer of the uterus, strokes, blood clots or dementia, so use it for the shortest time based on goals and risks. estrogen should not be used to prevent heart disease, heart attack, stroke or dementia.
7:26 am
ask your doctor about premarin vaginal cream. and go to premarinvaginalcream.com this is worth talking about. turning now to a trial that sparked passionate debate about race and gun laws in this country. sunday marks one year since a florida jury found george zimmerman not guilty of second-degree murder in the death of trort. the former neighbor watch volunteer never denied shooting the 17-year-old who was unarm at the time but said he did so because he feared for his life. the verdict, as you know, ignited protests across the nation over racial disparity and how they factor into the application of our criminals laws. one year later, what, if anything, has changed. here is reaction starting with trayvon martin's parents. >> what's changed mainly is public opinion.
7:27 am
>> it's more about letting people know about stand your ground. more people know about racial profiling. >> i think the criminal justice system has evolved since the tragedy of trayvon martin because, remember, nobody knew what stand your ground was until the tragedy took their teen son. >> the person that shot and killed my son is walking the tre streets today and this law does not work. >> i think it's important because it's starting a revolution. >> we are! >> minorities. >> i think there are a lot of groups who expected more change on the ground in florida between the stand your ground laws. >> and joining me now the host ofs msnbc "the reed report." we heard trayvon martin's parents advocating the stand your ground laws. they've been working to change
7:28 am
it. what kind of impact has it been? >> ironically when it happened there was a collective gasp through the african-american communi community, particularly, and a lot of young people what the state of the law was and what people could be acquitted for. people were shocked by it. i think a lot of people expect would be some change. they have expanded. you have seen gun laws get looser. you have a law you can carry guns into churches and certain public buildings. in florida they have expanded the stand your ground law to add a warning shot provision. you can fire a warning shot in the air, which, you know, a gun control advocates are astounded by and apalled by. i think on the gun law side, the changes haven't been positive. what has been raised is the awareness. there is certainly now an awareness of what gun laws are, where they are, in particularly in states like florida and the south. >> it's changed the tone when we talk about racial scenarios. we talk about the gun debate. even the president has weighed
7:29 am
in on. what kind of effect has it had. >> it's interesting when trayvon martin's death it happened. it wasn't news. it was minor story in florida town. when there was no arrest you see the protest. it became a galvanizing issue that wasn't polarizing. a lot of people said and even in some international papers that said wait a minute. it appears to be a strange situation of a neighbor watch volunteer and the dead young man, the iconic picture of trayvon martin we see so much that became the galvanizing iconic image of it. it became immediately politically polarizing when the president said it could have been my son. it could have been me. then our toxic polarized politics got eject into the case. people immediately decamped to the sides. it became something that the shooter were lionized by some folks and the young man became symbolic to a lot of african-americans.
7:30 am
almost in the way emmet till had. so it became incredibly polarizing. i'm not sure that has really changed. >> yeah. but as a whole, though, one year later what have we learned from this? >> i think one of the things we've learned is the fear black families have for their sons. i have a son around the age trayvon martin was when he died. i think for a lot of parents it's something they lived with for a long time. now the wider world understands about the anxieties that black parents have toward the safety of their children. i think we had a needed conversation about race and racial polarization. even on a policy level, you saw president obama decide to step into the fray to address issues of racial disparity. i think my brother's keeper initiative is the most tangible result. the president said i myself as a black man want to get into these communities and start to impact change. i think that's been one positive. >> that's good to know.
7:31 am
thank you for joining us today. we appreciate that. joy will be talking more in-depth about the trayvon martin case and how to changed the nation on "the reid report." here on msnbc. coming up, speaker boehner is against impeachment but not a lawsuit? the politics of what the republicans are doing. plus, guy games the germans say the top american spy. you're watching msnbc. when he agreed to cosign for his daughter's credit card... he thought it was the end of the conversation. she didn't tell him that her college expenses were going up. or that she maxed out her card during spring break. when the satellite provider checked his credit, he found out his daughter didn't pay her bills. but he's not worried. now he checks his credit report and score at experian.com, allowing him to keep track of his credit and take a break of his own. experian. live credit confident. f provokes lust.

7:35 am
but president did not. he did not apologize. joining me now managing world news editor for usa today. owen, thank you for joining us. >> thank you. >> we got word saying secretary of state john kerry is scheduled to meet with the german foreign minister this weekend. does the administration have a damage control plan here? >> i don't think so. this is really embarrassing for the administration and as the german finance minister noted yesterday, it would be hilarious episode if it wasn't so serious involving the espionage charges. the united states looks terrible in how it treated one of the closest and most important allies in europe to be caught spying on them. it's interesting that we spoke to a long-time veteran cia official who said he could not
7:36 am
recall over three decades of a similar incident where publicly a u.s. intelligence station chief for the u.s. was asked to leave so publicly from a friendly nation. >> yeah. chancellor merkel said thursday, quote, the two countries have better things to do than waste energy spying on each other. will this force the cia to reassess whether aggressive spying on friendly nations is more risking the broader relationship, if you will. >> already there is talk about changing the mandate of the cia to scale back espionage and friendly nations. currently there is only a few nations who have an agreement with the u.s. that is there is no spying at all. they include great britain, canada, new zezealanzealand, an australia. perhaps they need to expand.

7:39 am
speaker boehner threw down the gauntlet. it's all about obamacare. but even before boehner announced the subject of the suit, president obama was already citing mobster movies in a scene with actor mark wahlberg wahlberg. >> he said who are you? and wahlberg said i'm the guy doing my job. you must be the other guy. sometimes i feel like saying to these guy, i'm the guy doing my job. you must be the other guy. >> all right. let me bring in msnbc contributor goldy tailor and robert. goldy, have both side officially given up getting anything done in the term and which party does that hurt more? >> you know, i don't think that the president has given up on doing nifg anything in the term. i think he has the power of the
7:40 am
air force one, the power of the telephone. he's making things happen within the confines, you know, of his power of the presidency. on the other hand, there was never a time when speaker boehner could negotiate in good faith with the president. there was never a president when he truly controlled his caucus. he's admitting by filing the lawsuit it's a frivolous lawsuit with no real remedy to it. what would be the remedy. to advance obamacare the thing they voted 50 times to repeal? i think that, you know, we are at a dead end in terms of their relationship. there will be no golf. in terms of the rest of the obama presidency, there was never a time he could help pass legislation. >> i have a feeling you don't agree, rob pert. >> slightly disagree. i think it's dysfunctional. both men are to blame. there's no question about it suing the president is absolutely ridiculous. at the end of the day, the constitution is clear. it said that you shall impeach a
7:41 am
president for high crimes of misdemeanors. president obama does not fit that threshold. he's clearly doing his job. but the question becomes is whether or not he's meeting republicans halfway. the other part is whether or not republicans are meeting the president halfway. and the answer to both of those questions are no. they're not trying hard enough. at the end of the day it's among people living payche paycheck-to-payche paycheck-to-paycheck. people crossing the border illegally to live a better life. it's about america and our president and speaker are not working hard enough to make the relationship work. >> speaker boehner was asked about impeachment. i want you to take a listen what he had to say about that. >> you said in your letter to the members a few weeks ago that the president has declined to -- isn't that an impeachble effect? >> listen, i think this is a battle between the two branchs of government. others can make the
7:42 am
determination about whether it's impeachable or not. >> so political my what is the difference between impeachment and this suit? >> you know, this suit is a political question one in which the judiciary will not get involved, in my estimation. in terms of impeachable. it's about political football. riling up a base for the 2014 election and on for 2016. it's about getting it together for peace of way to turn on the polls for their candidates. it's about raising money, it's about lowering volunteers into republican campaigns in is not about impeaching a president. this isn't about winning a lawsuit. it's about putting political points on the board. end of story. >> robert, i think some people are wondering on the choice of obamacare for this lawsuit. because a new poll out yesterday shows a vast majority of republicans are somewhat or satisfied with their new health care under obamacare. and this headline from left leaning website think progress might give a preview how democrats might use it. it said, quote, house
7:43 am
republicans will sue obama because he's not implementing obamacare fast enough. why choose obamacare? >> i don't know the answer to that. to be honest with you. at the end of the day, the affordable care act when it was rolled out, as we know late last year was bumpy. there are a lot of americans extremely frustrated because of their cancellation policies. because they couldn't sign up on the health care site. we know that. according to the poll you mentioned, the vast majority of people are comfortable with the affordable care act. again, let me go back to my original point. this is about a dysfunctional relationship where both sides are to blame and both sides don't like each other. they're not getting paid to like each other. they getting paid to push through legislation that benefits the american people. >> there's a lot of work to be done. okay, thank you for joining me today. >> thank you. have a good weekend. the the economy is rebounding. why are more people quitting their jobs? five signs it is time to leave
