4:00 p.m. eastern "the ed show" is up next. good evening, americans, and welcome to "the ed show" live are from new york. i think i'm ready to go! let's get to work. we shouldn't be protecting tax loopholes for a few companies that shift massive profits overseas. >> the united states will levy punitive tariffs on korean steel pipe imports. >> rally against alleged steel. >> the issue here is dumping. >> illegal dumping of steel in america, which is gutting our infrastructure. >> american workers pay the price. >> the u.s. commerce department decision reverses one of the most contentious trade disputes in the u.s. >> stand up for american workers, and enforce maritime trade practices. >> a key victory for u.s. steel. >> first-class infrastructure attracts first-class jobs.

good to have you with us. thanks for watching. back from vacation, always good to get a little fresh air and do what you like to do. i'm fortunate enough to be able to do that. and it's good to be back with you here tonight in new york. you know, you're out of the news. i'm out of the news. okay? i haven't been doing a whole lot, just paying attention to nothing but having recreation. so coming back tonight, i thought, what can we agree on? let's start with something that we can really agree on. because americans, we're just agreeable people. i was at a golf tournament yesterday in sheboygan, wisconsin. the green bay packer hall of fame golf tournament. americans are basically happy people. we love tradition. we love to build friendships, relationships. we love to build traditions. we love to be around things that are positive. so tonight i think we have a story right in front of us, a topic that i think every american should be able to agree

with. how about some good roads and some good bridges out there? rebuilding our crumbling infrastructure? we're not honest if we don't tell the truth about where we are with our infrastructure in this country. now, let's forget who's at fault. forget who's responsible for letting it get where it is. what are we going to do about it now? can we agree maybe we need to do something? because you see, as americans, we've always liked to build stuff. just think, president obama is hitting the road, he should. it's what presidents do, in an effort to build support for infrastructure funding. oh, back to the money already. 65% of the roads we drive in, drive on, in this country are rated as less than good. now, hold it. does this sound like america to you? is this the best we can do? is this where we are? hey, let's be lousy at construction. let's be lousy at roads

this means over 2 million miles of american roads need to be rebuilt or repaired. think about that number. that's an awful lot of -- mileage. 25% of the bridges require significant repair. that's what the engineering society tells us. roughly, 150,000 bridges americans drive over every day need work. why aren't we doing something about this? isn't this something that maybe you and your neighbor ralph who's a tea partier could agree on? america has fallen from seventh to 18th over the past decade when it comes to investments in road roads. that doesn't sound like us. heck, we're going in the rock direction. we're used to going forward. number one. americans like to be number one. we love winners. we celebrate the good. well, president obama, who half

the country doesn't like, has a plan to fix this mess, and the president was in virginia earlier today urging congress to do their job, to pass this law, grow america act. sounds pretty simple. no, it's not real lofty, just doing something that every american wants. he made it clear the first step to a healthy economy is infrastructure. let's do it. >> we know that in a 21st century economy, businesses will set up shop wherever they find the best roads and bridges and the fastest rail and internet, the smartest airports. the smartest power grids. first-class infrastructure attracts first-class jobs. and right now our investments in transportation are lagging the rest of the world. >> now, let's play with this a little bit. let's just imagine that that was mitt romney saying that. let's imagine that that was george w. bush saying that. or bush 41.

or reagan. this is a president, does it really have to matter, to come to the decision we need to do something for our country that we've always done in the past? can't we agree on this? president obama's grow america act would authorize $302 billion in transportation funding over the next four years. and the white house estimates that it would create over 1 million jobs. it's a win for everybody. now, if you're a governor of a state, and you had bridges that were in really bad shape, would you feel compelled as a liberal or a conservative governor to say, you know, maybe we ought to do something about this. president obama said that it wouldn't add a dime to the deficit. >> my plan would not add to what is already a rapidly shrinking deficit. we've cut our deficit, by the way, by more than half since i came into office -- [ applause ] -- and we wouldn't be adding to the deficit, because -- because

we pay for this transportation project in part by closing tax loopholes for companies that ship jobs overseas and aboyd paying their fair share of taxes. so far house republicans refused to about the on this idea. >> hmm. did he say we've cut our deficit in half since he's been in office? oh, financial channels must have missed that one. the only thing standing in the way of jobs, and new infrastructure, is this guy right here. oh, there's always a culprit. don't you wonder, mr. boehner, how come you don't get onboard with this? don't the people in your backyard, your constituents, want good roads and bridges? do they want little schoolkids to go ay cross on the school bus on a bridge that is not safe? i don't think so. president obama had no problem calling out house republicans on their blatant obstruction on infrastructure. >> republicans, democrats, independents, everybody uses our roads. after this last winter, you got potholes everywhere. wrecking your car.

i'm waiting for congress to act, but, in the meantime, i have to do what i can do, and in response their plan so far has not been to join me and say, all right, mr. president, you're right. we do need to rebuild our roads. we do need to spruce up our airports. instead, their big idea has been to sue me. that's what they're spending time on. a political stunt that wastes america's time and taxpayer dollars. keep in mind, it's your money that they're going to be spending. on these ridiculous purchase suits instead of just getting some work done. and i'm not interested in playing political games. i'm interested in making sure the economy grows and we're creating more jobs and helping more middle-class families get ahead. we need to invest in america's infrastructure. >> who could possibly disagree with that? we're talking about over 1 million jobs being blocked by house republicans. all they have to do, bring it to the floor for a vote. oh, it will pass. the ripple effect that this bill

would have on our economy is enormous. nearly every industry involved in construction would be impacted. including the steel industry, and here's where the domino effect takes place. we've documented here on "the ed show" challenges that the united states steel industry has. the dumping of cheap korean steel on the market has 583,000 steel jobs in america at risk. thousands of jobs lost are and more layoffs coming. labor leaders have been focused to get the commerce department to basically, will you do something about this? take action. finally they did. we were rancoring enough about it across the country. it looks like the government is taking action against foreign steel. it happened on friday. this happened while you were away, big eddie. on friday, the commerce department announced that south korea and eight other countries are, in fact, illegally dumping low-cost steel, tubing, on the american market. this is jobs. i thought that's what we care

about. the government will now impose tariffs on steel imports from korea, india, vietnam, turkey, thailand, the philippines. saudi arabia. taiwan. and the ukraine. but, of course, we have focused on south korea, because they are the biggest culprit of all. the tariff, between 10% and 16%. a good start. huge win for the steel industry and good for jobs. wait a minute. did we agree on something? yes. is it a level of protectionism? not really, because it was an agreement that was already made. now we're just enforcing an asgree agreeme agreement. level the playing field for american steel factories and potentially save of thousands of jobs. couple this with president obama's infrastructure bill and the steel industry could be booming. the lipinchpin of our economy i trade.

if we give it away, if we don't pay attention to the dotted is and crossed ts, we're going to be in the toilet economically. this is a great move. it's moving forward. so we've agreed on this. no one in congress is yelling that we shouldn't have done this. so who in congress is willing to stand up and say, we can't build new bridges and new roads. give us the american people a reason. is it the president? is it the money? no, it's not the money. we got plenty of money. we go wherever we have to do on the globe to make things right. now it's time to make things right at home. that's really what the american people want. and even though we're 3 1/2 months oos way from making another 0 political decision in this country it would seem to me we as americans would be able to put enough pressure on elected officials to do something and do what we've always done, and that's build it, because that's who we are. we're americans. this is a positive thing.

can't we agree on that? get your cell phones out. i want to know what you think. tonight's question -- do you believe our bridges are in bad shape? or is president obama doing a photo op? text a for bridges in bad shape. text b to a photo op. go to our blog, msnbc.com. the results later in show. let me bring in the second of transportation from the obama administration, mr. anthony fox. mr. fox good to have you on "the ed show" for the first time. appreciate your time tonight. >> great to be with you, ed. >> why is this such a political heavy lift? this has a lot of americans perplexed that we just all of a sudden have stopped building stuff in america? >> well, first of all, your observation about the lack of construction in a big point, because we're still just days away from the highway trust fund running short, and going into insolvency and slowing or

stopping many projects across the country, and putting 700,000 jobs at risk. the reason is, that we've got a challenge how we pay for the intrastructure we need. there is no free lunch here and congress over the last five years passed 27 short trm measures, looked under every met tris, turned over every rock to get the highway trust fund stabilized. we're at a point to make a decision about the future and we're pushing grow america, because america needs an inflection point. we need to invest in infrastructure and we need to do more of it than we've been doing. >> so how bad to things need to get with roads and bridges in this country before both parties would come together and decide, you know, we really need to do this? where is the breaking point? >> well, i think we're there. we have, you know, more than 100,000 bridges across this country old enough to collect medicaid. we have bridges crumbling.

the brooklyn bridge the other day was crumbling. there are bridges all over america, roads all over america, that need to be done. this past winter we had record numbers of potholes across the country, and this is just unacceptable. the american people are paying the price already in wear and tear on their vehicles, on buying new tires, getting new suspension systems. we need a system that actually costs folks less, by investing we can do it. >> mr. secretary, when you go e to capitol hill what do republicans tell you? those who just can't come to the plate? what are they saying to you about this? why won't they do it? >> well, you know, it's interesting. you know, what it's going on on capitol hill right now is folks are scurrying around trying to get a few more months to consider this issue again, but we'll be right back here next spring, if it passes. i think there's actually bipartisan interest in moving forward on something, but some folks have boxed them in, boxed themselves in, by taking these no-tax pledges. these no increase in revenue

plemps and it starts to create a conundrum when you have something that requires money to work. >> what happens if there is no -- what is the short-term fix, if the funding doesn't get where it has to be on time? >> well, right now tonight, the house of representatives is considering a measure that would patch us through the next, through next may, but we'll be right here again at the beginning of construction season next time, andble states and local governments around the country will find themselves having to decide next may whether they can go forward with construction programs, and we'll probably have the same conversation. >> transportation secretary anthony foxx with us here on "the ed show" tonight. thanks so much. appreciate your time. >> thank you. for more let me bring in the united steelworkers president. this has been a real focal point for labor leaders, especially yourself, to make sure that there is a level playing field when it comes to steel. how big a victory is this for the steel import tariff for the united states steel industry?

>> well, it was a very important victory. in fact, the commerce department with their determination and setting what they call preliminary tariff actually did the right thing. would i have liked they'd done it sooner? absolutely. we still have people on layoff at a result of the first determination. today i was at the trade commission, have to go through another process to prove injury. with the part of the commerce department in the decision they made, i think we made a really good case today at the international trade commission about the fact there is injury, and i'm proud to say we had about 20 steel workers who came to the hearing so that the people on the international trade commission could actually see the people whose lives their decisions would affect. >> so this process is slow. it's arduous, it's something that needs to be addressed. this tariff, how long will it take to reverse this? and when will these workers be getting back to work, and how

soon do you think this would affect the market? >> well, it really is a tedious and long and painful process. because if you look at what we've had to do in oil country tu beauxl tubular, 2009. went after the chinese. they had to play on a level playing field, left the marketplace only to be replaced by others but primarily korea. and we've been in this piece with korea close to 18 months. hopefully the international trade commission will make a decision quickly. hopefully they'll impose the maximum penalty for the cheating that's gone on and then the industry will get stabilization and come back to making steel. and again, it comes on the heels of what you said, ed. if you could get this sorted out and if we could get an inf infrastructure bill as well as a highway bill, we could put people back to work from every end of the country and end up seeing instead of 6.5%, 7%

unemployment, 4.5 and maybe lower unemployment. we could have full employment. one of the reasons republicans are stymie everything. they always are doing to make sure they don't want the president sow succeed. he's trying to do the right thing and deserves to succeed. the american people deserve him to succeed, whether on the commerce department's determination, whether at the international trade commission, whether it's an infrastructure bill, whether it's a highway bill. all of those things would put people back to work and i think it's a shame that republicans are damaging their country for political opportunism. >> what the people want. why doesn't that matter anymore? mr. gerard, good to have you with us tonight. congratulations on getting this first step victory. got to be more to come to turn it around. >> thank you for putting this on the show and letting up a all the american people see the struggling productive steel workers were itch waing to get fairness in the system. thank you. >> appreciate your time, sir. thank you so much. >> thank you. remember to answer tonight's question there at the bottom of screen. share your thoughts on twitter on edshow and facebook.

>> joining us tonight, a member of the hispanic caucus. i want to talk about are corporal tomorrow the meeting first, congressman, with the congressional hispanic caucus with the president. obviously, this has to be the focal point of the meeting. there's been so much attention to this. what do you think needs to be communicated to the president and what is the solution at this point from your vantage point? >> well, i really believe there's -- the purpose of the meeting is now much more than the original. originally it was to talk about our recommendations to the president that we had forwarded to him, regarding what he could do with executive action to move forward on comprehensive immigration reform. that will be discussed, and that's a slilgts vitally import has constitutional and legal authority to do. the issue of the children at the border. the children with us in this country right now and being --

and being taken care of, that issue and the supplemental that the president requested are tied together, unfortunately. and, you know, republicans in the house and in the senator are trying to milk this for as much of political advantage as they can. the slew us is simple. solution is simple. follow the law. extend the protections that are within that law, that was passed in congress in 2008. the court decisions that occurred further protecting children, and do so in -- in a way that honors due process, it can be expedited, were ut it cannot be expedited at the -- at the fault of the due process and ignore that. >> congressman, this seems to be getting lost in the coverage and in the conversation. that the law that was passed in 2008 says that these children have to be processed and put into homes in this country. but listen to john mccain, and it's almost as, well, let's put them on a plane and ship them back. wouldn't that be a violation of

the very law that exists right now? >> exactly. you know, they attack president obama for executive powers, imperial powers, that he doesn't follow the law, and here when there is -- this instance to follow the law and apply that law, he's accused of following the law, so let's get rid of the law, and -- and start a whole different process, which is just to deport. >> that's the only -- yes. >> have we seen the birth of a smuggling industry here that has gotten out of control that we don't know what to do with? >> we were very successful in colombia and in stopping the routes for drugs, primarily cocaine, into this country. that, those routes have moved into central america. these three countries in particular, and with it also came another profit-making operation, smuggling, which is people. and it's the same cartels.

it's the same crime syndicates. that's where the focus should be. we should squeeze our money in this country and treat them like we treat terrorists and not allow anybody to do business or to launder their money, and make that the focus of what we do. it's a billion dollar operation to all of those cartels, and they're sophisticated in what they're doing. >> congressman, i don't hear any republicans say what you just said. >> well, because it doesn't play to the tune that they're playing out there. they're trying to rev up people, reinstitute the whole issue of fear. drag that bloody flag of amnesty, the border's not secure, there's hoards of people coming over. as a sequence, see what political advantage to get in the mid-terms and going into 2016. >> okay. >> i think the president needs to be firm, chc, hispanic caucus will be firm and protect these children, because after all, they're children, and there's a moral and legal imperative that

we do that. >> finally, congressman, now, we have seen protests, protesters, stop the transportation of these immigrants in your state today, which is what we saw a few weeks ago. excuse me. in california. where's this going? could you update us on what happened in oracle, arizona today? >> well, what happened is that the -- a local sheriff who aspires to be more than a local sheriff, decided to tell the groups that are opposed to immigration in that area what was happening, and they monitored a protest. that sheriff's job is to follow the law and apply the law equally, instead of trying to instigate it. it is sad. the picture is sad. the optics are horrible. this is not what this country is. and, you know, we have to be firm that we're taking care of children here. and those that are in danger, those children, need to be dealt

with, and not simply ignored as we did in marietta and hopefully we're not going to do that in oracle or other parts of the country. >> congressman, appreciate your time tonight, sir. thank you so much. we'll follow that meeting with the president tomorrow. still ahead, the cheney bunch. the rapid response panel weighs in on the cheney family politico playbook lunch. plus, texas takeover. calling for a warship's to secure the border. pretenders is coming up. next, your questions, ask ed live. coming up on msnbc. we're right back. she's still the one for you.

so long. [ applause ] >> welcome back to "the ed show." quite a scene monday minutes into a politico event featuring dick cheney, his wife lynn and daughter liz. code pink protesters brought the discussion to a halt calling for the former vice president of the united states to be arrested. lynne cheney tried to brush off the repeated interruptions but it's clear. a few years out of the spotlight hasn't done anything to help savage the cheneys' reputation. i'm guessing it has something to do with statements like this -- >> the president made a decision he wasn't going to criticize his successor. that's his call. with the precedent set by his father. i'm not bound by those strictures, and some people don't like that, but -- i -- i feel very strongly about what's going on over there now, just as i did when we made the decision to go into iraq in '03.

i believed in it then. look back on it now, it was absolutely the right thing to do. >> what should the republican party do about climate change? >> liz? >> nothing. >> turn around. the whole trend with respect to the united states military. that ought to be our top priority for spending, no the food stamps or highways or anything else. your number one responsibility as president is to support and defend the constitution of the united states. he's the commander in chief and he is absolutely devastating the united states military today. >> and we have not been hit on his watch. joining his rapid response panel tonight, political commentator and talk radio and media consultant with us. the cheney show, the tap dance continues in fronts of the media. how out of step are the cheneys with the priorities of the country? do we have to state we want to stay safe? is that wheral we are? >> a great danger we might invade another country that never attacks us again. i think every time dick cheney

opens his mouth reminds us george w. bush's greatest achievement, not dying in office. terrific for the democratic party the more dick cheney comes out and mouths off. this is coming two weeks after trying to blame current sectarian strife on iraq in obama. like blaming daniel craig because octopusy is a bab james bond film. it happened before him. the more her talks, better it is. glinda the good witch of the neocons. great to see mary cheney, a job at state invented for her who has alienated the gop so much with her attacks on mike enzi, this is them trying to salvage their reputation among their own friends. >> speaking of out of step, and that's exactly where i believe the cheneys are right now. not focused on where americans are right now.

against everything president obama is, the job growth, market at 17,000, not regulated oil the way liberals would like to see it. right in this wheelhouse. speaking of out of step, i see that talk radio in america on the right side of the dial is having a hard time. what's happening here? because they seem to mimic everything that the cheneys do? >> well, kudos to your charming booking producer, because john and i actually have a useful perfepe perspective based on what we do for a living. admittedly, john's work is more than mine, a stand-up comedian and knows what plays and doesn't, you're literally reading the room. i listen to talk radio for a living and hear two things. what's there, and i hear what's not there, and what's not there is the what you just said. for the most part these talk radio righties are saying zero about dick cheney.

admittedly, immigration is the flavor of the month. they were banging on obamacare for the longest time. now the polls tell us 74% of republicans like it. benghazi got old. it will probably be back, but the last thing that's going to make the phones ring on talk radio is cheney's redemption tour trying to resell us the iraq war. how must he look to the 60-some million millennials who will now, if they vote, decide every election, cheney is a little younger than he looks, but to 20 somethings, he must look like dr. evil from austin powers's to baby boomers like me, he looks like daddy warbucks from "little orphan annie." on talk radio, this is not a hot topic. >> seeing a reversal here. here's dick cheney saying he doesn't have to go by the bush moon u scrimanuscript, don't cre

the commander in chief. he says i don't play by that rule. i say what i think. yet when bush was president, anybody who criticized president bush, was emboldening the entity. >> anti-american. >> that's right. anti-american. so john, where are we on this? >> well, it's funny. back then it was under hannity speak, can't criticize the demander in chief during wartime. of course we haven't legally declared war in this country since 1941. a bit flexible. telling that mary cheney didn't show up. i was hoping she would, because it would have given mary and dick a chance to thank all of the liberals who made mary's marriage possible. of course, the fact is, there's a lot of friction in the family, because liz cake out against her own sister's marriage. dick cheney gets credit. i don't think he deserves for supporting marriage equality. held a fund-raiser at his high omming home for mitt romney, wanted to make his own daughter's marriage illegal. it has a lot to the do with what

liz did last year challenging mike enzi for the wyoming senate and it blew up in their face. this is a redemption tour. them as was pointed out, not heroes of right wing radio. they're trying to win back their base at this point. >> alliance for a strong america, that's what they're doing. raising money and dishing money out. is it toxic for republicans to stand with dick cheney at this point? >> well, he's probably doing irreversible damage to the republican party brand in the eyes of those 20-somethings who are going to decide elections from now on. but this isn't doing democrats any favors, either, although i'm sure that's his motive, because our two-party system relies on a vigorous dialogue between earnest points of view, and all of this family feud stuff is just noise. it's very unseemly, these family feuds are a sad public spectacle and we have just witnessed another one as all of america

winced and moaned during the final, sad days of casey kasem. we don't need "the cheney show." >> what you're talking about, rand paul may sense it. he's brought up the concept of isolationism, to the republican party, and you see this as a response. >> yep. >> to the hawkishness of cheney? >>? e. and liz did have remarks directly, smearing rand paul, and -- or insinuating about rand paul. that's interesting to see. again, i do disagree with you. i think this helps democrats every time dick cheney shows up and opens his mouth. it's our republican friends who need to realize this guy too 33 million from hula burton when he left, lied us into a war that took over 4,000 lives of ours troos and then gave halliburton 39.5 billion of our taxpayer dollars. that's the crony capitalism of talking about. >> all right. >> and speaking of sarah palin, the republicans wish they would both just take a hike.

>> i'd like to give dick cheney one free plane ticket to the hague. >> good to have you both with us tonight. thanks so much. coming up, incentive to outsource. really? scott walker's failed initiative to create jobs in wisconsin, rewarded companies for shipping jobs overseas. stay with us. i had no idea i had shingles.

there was like an eruption on my skin and burning. i'd lift my arm and the pain back here was excruciating. when i went to the doctor his first question was "did you have chickenpox?" i thought it was something that, you know, old people got.

that is being invaded, in our case twice as many in recent months -- more than twice as many than invaded france on d-day. >> he says the crisis at the border needs to shape up or ship out. >> state of texas would appear to have the right not only to use whatever meanses, whether it's troops, even using ships of war. >> louie gomert wants rick perry to send warships to handle immigrants crossing the border? he can't command warships but he can take pictures. if gomert thinks immigration reform means going overboard, he can keep on pretending.

corporation have broken the promise. >> both eaton corporation and plexus corporation received millions in financial awards from wedc only to later lay off workers. their jobs were taken by employees at the companies' foreign facilities. one of the companies received a second award from the wisconsin economic development corporation even after the fact. wedc spokesman mark malley says, even the loss of one job in wisconsin is one too many. >> the point of walker's wisconsin economic development corporation was supposed to be used public resources to encourage in-state businesses to hire and expand. instead the administration rewarded companies for doing the opposite. for more we go to the democratic leader in the state house, peter barka. good to have you with us

tonight. i think residents of your state want to know what's governor walker doing wrong here? >> it was a startling revelation when wkow broke the story that two companies were being awarded sizable amounts of money and later finding they were outsourcing jobs overseas. we are with calling for more stringent controls to analyze this. the problem has been there's been a lock of follow-through in tracking these dollars, in tracking what's happening. and then it comes to this where you wonder how in the world could you possibly allow dollars to be awarded in order to ship jobs overseas. my blood was boiling when i heard the the story. we are analyzing this closely. we need tighter controls.

it's been frustrating to see one more story of this sort. >> the question begs the wisconsin economic development corporation puts money to two corporation that is ships jobs overseas instead of investing in wisconsin. do you know if they have contributed to walker's campaign in the past? >> i don't know about these two particular companies, but the same station broke a story about the sizable numbers of companies that did get awards holding fund-raisers for the governor. i know there is a lot of good government groups that are analyzing this. there's been quite a few stories. but clearly, it's not working well in wisconsin at all, ed. we are tenth of ten states in the midwest in creating jobs. it's an abysmal performance. i think that's why the race is virtually tied here for

governor. mary burke has been strong when she heard of the story she jumped out immediately. called for a stop to the practice and analyzed this. i think we'll see a tight race because of the fact that the number one issue on the minds of wisconsinites is how we can put people back to work. we are not doing a good job at this point. >> the companies that got money, shipped jobs overseas, it was reported in the wisconsin media. mary burke has jumped on this. the polls have tightened. yesterday people asked me do i think walker could be relekted. i don't think i have to answer that. i have a got instinct about it. this is not good. it's not fair to the taxpayers and this story isn't going to be going away. i appreciate your time. thank you so much. peter bark that, democratic leader in the house in wisconsin. good to be back with you. back here again tomorrow night.

that's "the ed show." "politics nation" with reverend al sharpton starts now. rev, always good to get fresh air. good to go out and smell the fresh air, but it's good to be back. >> good to have you back, ed. good to see you. >> all right. >> you're looking great. >> i'm trying. >> thanks to you for tuning in. i'm live tonight in washington, d.c. tonight's lead, a stunning report on new allegations about the kkk and a florida department. state officials are investigating two police officers who are off the job for allegedly being members of the klan. one was fired. one resigned. >> state agents delivered a report last week from an international fbi investigation that indicated the two officers have ties to the ku klux klan. forrest served as the fire chief was confron
