rand paul and ted krus addition brings kirsten gillibrand within ten votes of the majority. does that give her the fire power and conservative cover to move forward? >> thomas, there are three dozen senators who have signed their name to this legislation and it is important to have kind of a continued pressure. kirsten gillibrand has been working on this quite some time and have names like rand paul and ted cruz stepping forward. rand paul saying i don't see any reason why a conservative wouldn't support this, that is helpful. others believe the military brass does not believe this kind of a change should happen there is resistance there. some suggestion of taking different steps like not permitting military leaders to overturn a conviction, there's a long way to go yet, but this is getting attention and kirsten gillibrand has been doing the hard work of having private meetings and talking to her colleagues and making something happen to bring the pressure up. this would go forward when the senate deals with the defense authorization bill, so the funding for the pentagon and

judy woodruff talks to new york democrat kirsten gillibrand. >> we all agree that we have to do something about sexual assault and rape in the military and victims aren't democrats or republicans. they don't an ideology. victims' voices have to be heard. >> brown: parts of honduras have become overrun by violent drug gangs. we report on one city where more than 20 people are murdered each week. >> people here do whatever they want. no one believes things will change. it felt like the most dangerous city was returning. >> ifill: and life and death in assisted living centers here in the u.s., we explore a "frontline" investigation into whether some in the industry are putting seniors at risk. >> brown: that's all ahead on tonight's newshour. >> major funding for the pbs newshour has been provided by: moving our economy for 160 years. bnsf, the engine that connects us. >> the william and flora hewlett foundation, working to solve social and environmental problems at home and around the world. >> and with the ongoing support of these institutions and foundations. and... >> this program was ma

having kirsten gillibrand along with ted cruz and rand paul, two of the most conservative u.s. senators on the republican side, two people who might very well run for presidency in 2016. you know, this is smart politics for all involved, for cruz and for paul. this is a way to actually have an olive branch out to female voters. republicans ended up losing the female vote by 11 percentage points in 2012. this is a symbolic move to protect them on that flank. for gillibrand, it's a way to get bipartisanship and bipartisan legislation. >> what does this mean for claire mccaskill? this puts, obviously, her ideas of what should happen at odds with kirsten gillibrand. >> oh, the legislative system is a windy process, tamron. it is that there are critics on all sides. bill krysti crystal called the gillibrand legislation anti-military. it is a controversial piece of legislation, but we don't have too many instances when the likes of ted cruz, rand paul, and gillibrand all join forces. >> we know later today around 6:30 eastern time the president will have a few interviews with telemun

kirsten gillibrand doing an end run around that. she now has 34 co-sponsors for this piece of legislation. >> on another kukt abosubject a women and power. i talk to kirsten gillibrand yesterday on "morning joe" about how republican and democratic women are coming together on this subject and other subjects, women in the house and the senate arguing for more women in politics. one of the subjects you'll see. i discussed with nancy pelosi in our interview. any question in your mine about hillary clinton and whether or not she is organizing a run? >> no. but maybe when is the only question in my mind. look, something could change. she could make a decision not to but it certainly looks like a launch. you you look at this issue. we've talked about this before i think of the attitude of the senate towards taking seriously sexual assault in the military nap would not be happening if we didn't have 17 women senators -- 20 women senators. i don't know where that number came from. >> was 17, moving upward. it is 20. >> now 165 years after w

judy woodruff talks to new york democrat kirsten gillibrand.

this came from kirsten gillibrand. this is a young woman, young mother, young woman potentially running for the senate. let's watch. >> what these women candidates are bringing forward is this whole image of change and that i'm going to work to get things done and i'm going to be, you know, the honest broker. and so i think when we have these young candidates coming in oftentimes as really the change agents, it can be very dynamic. >> and she was basically saying, chris, this is a good thing potentially because we have women republicans and democratic women who all work together in a way that frankly the men net senate don't work. >> headline, gillibrand endorses cheney. >> that's not what she wants but she's saying something here about gender. >> it is fascinating. i mean, look, you know, kirsten gillibrand, this is a separate story, andrea, i do think from getting ted cruz and rand paul to sign on the sexual assault in the military effort she's leading, she's kind of forming a very interesting profile in the senate g

kirsten gillibrand and other lawmakers will talk about assaults on american service members. >>> bradley manning is scheduled to finish up today. he's accused of giving u.s. secrets to wikileaks. >>> matt leblanc is 46. rita marley, widowed bob marley, mother of zig i, 67 years old. congratulations. savanna guthrie goes o on a personal quest to find out if clumsiness has a cure. i'm richard liu, for bill karins, thanks for watching "early today." you have a very good one. >>> new this morning, we continue to get ne new details out of spain after the deadly train retrailment. crews working overnight. we'll have the latest. >>> we're evacuated the store. >> the emergency glitch that sent people scrambling across parts of cos stra county. >>> a live look from the south bay. that is the city of san jose. early morning dawn before the sun comes up on this thursday, july 25th. this is "today in the bay."

rand paul, ted cruz join kirsten gillibrand's push on military sexual assault. the tea party's favorite senators rand paul and ted cruz have joined the upstart effort to remove the chain of command from military sex assault cases. >>> in "usa today," the aurora shootings one year later. one victim's mother says she still can't stomach the smell of popcorn. the mass shooting during a midnight screening of "the dark knight rises" killed 12 people. >>> also topping our news, playing the blame game. russian president vladimir putin says it's the united states' fault that edward snoweden is trapped in a moscow airport saying he, quote, arrived on our territory without an invitation. speaking to a group of students monday, putin said he hopes the self-identified nsa leaker leaves russia asap. >>> well in southern florida, check it out. a 1960s era power plant was imploded this morning. yeah, boom. to make way for a more fuel efficient replacement. get this, though. over 400,000 pounds of tnt were used to bring down those four massive smoke stacks and boilers. boy, tha

we are getting more democrats and republicans every day. >> senator kirsten gillibrand, thank you so much. >>> there's the power suit and the power tie, but for former president george h.w. bush it is all about socks. he's been known for his bold colorful sock style. his wardrobe choice at yesterday's white house event was no exception, commemorating a 5,000 points of life program. he esported a red and white striped pair. he won't be alone in his presidential stylings. president bush gave president obama a pair of socks. this behind the scenes snopt captured by the white house photographer, pete souza. the family is calling bush 41 ""gq" man." nascar race track with drivers from the coca-cola racing family. coca-coca family track walks give thousands of race fans the chance to get out, get moving, and have fun... all along the way. it's part of our goal to inspire more than three million people to rediscover the joy of being active this summer. see the difference all of us can make... together. if you've got it, you know how hard it can be to breathe and man, you know how that feels

also, senator kirsten gillibrand. we're going to ask her what it was like to actually hang out with ted froos and her push to crack down on military sex assaults is gaining momentum from the other side of the aisle because of people like ted cruz and rand paul. and we're going to talk to nfl star larry fitzgerald and best-selling author and friend of "morning joe." i think he was the first person to watch "morning joe." we've had three more since then. look at that collar, daniel silva, he learned that from me. first, bill karins with a check of the forecast. bill, when is it going to cool down? is >> not until the upcoming weekend, joe. the heat wave is expanding. we already watched it moving back to chicago. now it's just gripping much of the country. look at boise. even the intermountain west was amazingly hot. this was the peak of the heat wave. from here we'll watch it slowly retreating, especially in the northern half of the country. today's forecast, just like yesterday, 90s everywhere. what's interesting, it's

ted cruz and rand paul aligning themselves with kirsten gillibrand in the way the military handles sexual assault cases. the plan would limit the ability of the military's dop commanders to oversee sex cases in their unit. military says it would jeopardize the command. yesterday two tea party favorites spoke about their decision to support the bill. >> i have to tell you, i'm entering the committee hearing undecided. i was persuaded by senator gillibrand's exceptionally passionate and able advocacy. >> i always thought the motive was good for the bill but i think the bill's even stronger. i see no reason why conservatives shouldn't support this. the only thing i think standing in the way is sort of the status quo. >> the plan needs the support of at least 51 senators to be included in the defense bill. debate on that bill could begin as early as next week. we will talk to senator gillibrand coming up on "morning joe" which is out of washington, d.c., today. >>> still in limbo, edward snowden, is officially asking russia to grant him temporary asylum. he would stay there until he could fly

new york senator kirsten gillibrand is sponsoring a bill that picked up some republican support this week. >> they willingly appear tis pay the facing -- anticipate facing hostile fire from enemy forces but they don't sign up to be subject to sexual assault. >> reporter: but the measure still faces opposition from both sides of the aisle with many lawmakers arguing commanders need to be in the process to help change the culture in the military. danielle nottingham, cbs news, capitol hill. >> statistics show that more than half of military sexual assault victims are men. >>> much of the country is stuck in a heat wave. six blistering days of near triple digits and counting. temperatures in 47 of 50 states will be above 90 and jfk has a new record, 100 degrees set. the extreme heat may be to blame for the sparking wires at an industrial park. this is in new jersey. firefighters worked quickly to put out the flames but it is mighty tough weather out there. >> i know. we are getting hot weather here, too. >> we are going to see some heat away from the immediate coastline. it's going to b

gillibrand. >> what a night. >> do we need bill murray here. dogs and cats living together? >> i was there until about 10:00. >> what happened? tell us about the story. >> senators who went into the old senate chamber which is so rare and to have senators of both parties meeting together, really rare. the old senate chamber so old there were only 64 seats, there weren't 100. how close were you snuggled with others. what i was struck by in part coming out of that meeting, this had to do with the changing of the rules and an airing out of some strong feelings on both sides, i was encouraged by seeing members of both parties talking to each other coming out of that meeting which we often don't see. >> that meeting, of course, was for the changing of the rules and i guess it was out of this meeting perhaps, the news breaking overnight, that rand paul and ted cruz said they were going to join forces with kirsten gillibrand. >> on the military sexual assaults. >> yes. talking to some of her aides last

gillibrand and her amendment to try to change the way that the sexual assault prosecuted in the military. it's going to hurt the chain of command. people are automatically going to be against you and it's a hard road to lobby for this. we have to expend a lot of time line and jalabert and is exporting a lot of time and isn't going to have success --. they basically take off the subcommittee chairwoman has put in this language that would take the case is basically out of the chain of command. what is interesting about the vote is that you really have a split in the committee. there are seven women on the armed service committee now. the point that you were making before this came the more conservative ideology seems to be a predictor, the republican women for example voted with levin and a love the of the republicans. but you did see this split in the democratic party with the more liberal senators on the services including gillibrand and mazie hirono voted but still, he won on the backs of the republicans. if you have any thought about where the debate is going in the future and how does

. >> and kirsten gillibrand's amendment on chain of command, the prosecution taking those accused of sexual assaults out of the chain of command. finally, what about what he had rollins, former white house political director, long-time republican consultant had to say about liz cheney. >> really, a bored housewife? there are many things can you say about liz cheney. nae's not a bored housewife. she is a lawyer, she was a state department official. congratulations, andrea. you've won the prestigious for the state award from the national press club. i don't think this should show go off the air without me noting it. >> thank you so much. >> how can i top that? >> the quote from ed rollins tops that. don't you think? i like liz. i've been a long-time friend of her fathers but they will be portrayed as they have been away for a language time a housewife, kind of bored from wyoming. you cannot call liz clean a bored housewife. she is an and the victivist, a i love ed rollins but he is -- >> the thing that i find sort of remarkable about all of this is people are saying well she's ambitiou

there is a -- kirsten gillibrand in the city and jackie speier in the senate have been way out in front on this sexual assault in the military on top of that case and saying that the only way we're going to really resolve that problem is by taking the decision making out of the chain of command. and gillibrand had a hard time getting the votes in it. yesterday she picked up two amazing supporters. rand paul for one and then ted cruz from texas who said why this makes sense. >> a number of our allies, great britain and israel and germany had the implemented policy similar to this and the results in practice have been the reporting rates of increase. >> bill: so he says let's work -- chain of command has worked there. this is significant for senator gillibrand. >> it is. it puts a lot more pressure on republicans in this debate because you have two sort of young republican superstars. tea party senators coming out in favor of this. they have always done their own thing. these are two guys building their own brand. they don't take a position on an issue thinking about what the g.o.p. estab

kirsten gillibrand is way out front on the issue dealing with sexual harrassment in the military, sexual assaulting in the military. so they're way out front on this. i don't have many senators that don't understand how important their jobs are. one of the things, one of my roles is to try to, on occasion, tamp down the enthusiasm of the leadership of these folks. but if you have somebody, especially in mind that you don't think is doing enough, let me know and i will give them a jab. [applause] >> senator reid, james page from st. louis, missouri. i'm sure others like i have watched with great concern the supreme court's recent decision to take some of the steam if you will, some of the accountability, out of the voting rights act. i'm very concerned about that happening as we're entering the 2014 and 2016 election cycles. it is my understanding that the supreme court is pushing the, the voting rights act to congress and i kind of wanted to get your thoughts on what can be done to preserve the voting rights act in states who have demonstrated actions that are counter to that act? >> the
