rights when facing workplace discriminati discrimination. there are 28 states where people can be fired for simply being gay. if the supremes don't step up it will be up to the senate to pass the employment nondiscrimination act. lest we forget one of the first national politicians to support the freedom of marriage was dick cheney inspired by his daughter mary. and barack obama didn't publicly support gay marriage until later in his first term. >> what this is all about is a simple proposition. who do you love? >> we still have a lot of work to do in a world where there are 70 countries that criminalize same-sex relations. america is the land of the free because we're the home of the brave and our gains on gay rights are are a welcome sign that we don't have to be hopelessly divided in the united states of america. and that's your reality check. >> john, thank you very much. and on that note, 9 2020 democratic candidates will take
court in the land. >> yes, these nine justices could kill obama care. i told you there were death panels. now, folks, the heart of this case is the individual mandate, which will require all uninsured americans to purchase health insurance. and the only pre-existing condition that will cure is liberty. yes, the government cannot force you to buy things. it can only tax you, draft you, seize and sell your property, arrest you, incarcerate you, and execute you. >> i think that's stephen's way of saying he hopes the supremes don't kill a good thing, obama care. and next up, bring on the wishy-washy. that's right. i'm talking about 2012, mitt romney. remember this moment at the most recent republican debate? >> in 2010 when i was deployed to iraq i had to lie about who i was because i'm a gay soldier, and i didn't want to lose my job.

infrastructure and nancy pelosi would not even allow a single vote on that amendment. i've been pushing our leadership here in the house, john boehner and eric cantor, to allow for a six-year highway bill to move forward. now, why is a six-year highway bill significant? number one, it's about $400 billion to $500 billion of infrastructure investment, close to ten times what the president wants to spend, number one. number two, it's over six years, so the infrastructure community, the construction industry -- >> why don't you become a democrat? >> i don't need to become a democrat. >> because your republican leadership isn't backing this. >> no, no, no. the same reason president obama hasn't advocated for a six-year highway bill is the same reason that the republican leadership hasn't offered the plan, is because you've got to come up with a way to pay for it. john boehner two weeks ago in a speech here in d.c. said he's looking at doing a six-year highway bill using the current gas tax coupled with revenue from offshore leasing of offshore drilling rights. i don't care what the pay fors are, but ronald reagan passed
i think he was. >> i loved his line about how the presidential nominee would need a food tester if he were the vp. but he very plainly wasn't ruling it out. >> don't you agree? >> absolutely. >> you get it without campaigning, pick it up the next labor day. >> that's the idea. >> you don't have to campaign. by the way, one last thought. 55% of people in this country now believe the republican candidate will win the election against obama. that's how people out there are playing pundit. that tells you they think obama's in trouble. and i think obama is going to jujitsu this and say, okay, i'm the underdog. >> that makes -- that's all the difference there. >> that's what makes politics interesting. thank you, guys. the world without chris christie. what a huge displacement. it's not there anymore. anyway, thank you, dana milbank, great guy. thank you, jonathan martin. up next, speaking of mitt romney, wait until you hear why he said he didn't respond to
one, bill clinton passed one, george w. bush passed one. a six-year highway bill that's paid for -- >> i know, the problem is, eisenhower broke the interstate system back in the '50s. he wouldn't be sitting around pussyfooting like you guys, coming up with reasons you can't get it done. you say you're for infrastructure. let's get back to mr. mcdermott. we're using up his time. why don't the republicans, like this republican, like theiate jim oberstar works they bounced out of congress last year, why don't they support what they say? he says he's for building and fixing bridges and all but his leadership isn't pushing this bill. >> you're getting the good cop/bad cop experience here. he's the good cop who says, i want a six-year highway bill, and john boehner's the bad cop and says, i can't find any money to do it. they know where the money is. they could tax people over $250,000 in income. they could take away that tax break right now. they could take away money from the oil companies. they have had prsts out the window, and there's plenty of
highway bill. >> you guys deal in ideology and theory and i'm bringing you information about your district that you needed to know -- >> no! >> -- which is that you've got over 300 bridges that are deficient that need to be fixed that are below safety code. i want to go to congressman mcdermott and be fair here. he has 19 bridges in his district that are below code and structural deficient. one thing you can do is get people to work and give them jobs that need to be done. don't create jobs, do what needs to be done. make our bridges safe. just to start, your thoughts, mr. mcdermott? >> well, it's very clear, chris, that the president has been stymied at every turn by the republicans, because mitch mcconnell made it very clear a long time ago that his only goal was to prevent the president from being re-elected. and to do that, he has to prevent him from getting the economy back on its feet and getting people back to work. people want jobs. there is work everywhere in this country.
