for a better life. >> anna, is this an idea whose time has come? >> i think so. i think it's been played strategically in a brilliant manner. marco rubio who is part of this gang of six in the senate. they've been working on this from day one after the election. i think they're ready to come out with something. i think you're going to see that marco rubio has laid a lot of the groundwork by selling these princip principles. he's gotten great enzorsment and support from one of the most right wing pun makers. now it's time to act upon it and grow it from there. it is basically the only thing happening in congress today, where there is a bipartisan movement on both chambers and both sides of the aisle. >> the election is a long time

ago, i've been hearing this a long time ago. why wait? why haven't we heard anything from them? why are they waiting on a president? >> because timing is everything. you know what, if i were you, i wouldn't put money on them waiting on the president. the president's going to speak on tuesday. i wouldn't be surprised if these senators who are tremendously strategic and know how to play the political game -- i wouldn't be surprised if they preempt the president, maybe do it tomorrow. maybe do it before the president on tuesday. these are not folks that wait on the president. these folks act. >> you think they may come out on monday? do you know something we don't? >> i know a lot of things you don't. >> okay. >> we'll see, maybe anna does. do the republicans need an immigration deal given their showing in the november elections? >> first of all, i want to touch on -- the president has already

spoken of this, he did that two years ago, three years ago in 2010. we voted on the dream act. he had mostly republicans and five democrats that decided not to vote on the dream act. the president gave us his outline in 2010 in terms of working toward immigration. as far as republicans newfound religion, i'm giving them props, this is not new for them either. john mccain, before he was against the dream act was a co author, a co responsible of the dream act. it was all about politics. i would agree with anna, timing is everything, and now after they got their butt kicked they want to follow through on what they started years and years ago. unfortunately, the latino population has been a pawn in the political game. if you want to be here, you're a part of the game. >> speaking of the gop. i want you to listen to bobby jindal, he's talking to his fellow republicans. >> we must not be the party that

froekts the well off so they can keep their toys. we have to stop being the stupid party. i'm serious, it's time for a new republican party that talks like adults. >> he's not the only one giving that sentiment, paul ryan gave a similar sentiment this morning on meet the press. is this what your party needs, tough love? >> yes, we need to not sugar coat it, we need to learn the lessons of the last election, i think governor jindal is correct, i think paul ryan is right, i was at the republican retreat ten days ago, i can tell you we heard a lot of this and there is an acknowledgement that we have to reboot. now, we cannot -- you know, the best part that happened out of this election is that we learned that you can't just do it, with white men. that attracting latinos and women is not an option. and i think that's why this immigration thing -- that's why the election has been such a

game changer for the immigration issue. because republicans know that it is a huge challenge, but it's also a great opportunity to rebuild some bridges. >> thanks to lz and anna. this week defense secretary leon pa net that issued the order lifting a ban on women in combat units. earlier i spoke with people with two different opinions on that decision. elaine donley handled women assignments in the armed forces. first i asked elaine why she was against the latest move by the pentagon. >> the tip of the spehr infantry about a tal yonz, these are the ones that attack the enemy. these are all male for good reason. we don't have women in those units it's not a good idea to put them there. everyone is insisting and assuming the standards will be the same. they will be equal but they won't be the same. general dempsey said if the standard is too high and the

women can't meet it, we'll ask, should it be so high, that's when the pressure to lower the standards will continue. he also asked for a critical mass of women. that will further lower the standards so we can have more women in the unit. and then we have a diversity commission that says, we're supposed to have diversity metrics, that's another name for quotas and promotions for men will be contingent on meeting the diversity quota. the military is not there just to support equal opportunity. it's there to defent the country and carry out the missions that are asked of them. >> one shouldn't assume every woman would be for this new policy, and most men would be against it, and some men would be against it. miky, you're all for this. tell me about your experience in the military serving alongside women and why you're for it? >> i am. i think this is a very sensible pragmatic decision that's been taken by the pentagon. i also think it's a little

overdue. i served as an assault helicopter pilot. i served closely and directly on the u.s. forces. iraq three times, afghanistan three times, i worked very closely with women, i commanded women in some very key roles, in some successful operations. all the evidence to me suggests -- or leads me to believe that the decision the pentagon made is a good one. and i'd just like to sort of pick up on elaine's point about the role of the infantry. she's right in saying that aspects of the infantry is indeed to hunt and kill the enemy. i would also say the 21st century warfare has changed. 21st century warfare in recent experience in iraq and afghanistan has been about counter insurgency, it's about winning hearts and minds. a big role of the infantry now is about lee a'sing with the locals. it doesn't just comprise of men,

they comprise of women, little girls. and i think the dynamic that a woman brings to a unit that is out in these rolls, liasing with the local population is absolutely key and vital. >> elaine, i wan the to know, what about women who say they are perfectly qualified to serve alongside men on the front lines? >> well, 30 years of studies and reports that have been done indicate that when physical capabilities matter and they do, in the direct ground combat units that we're talking about now, women do not have an equal opportunity to survive or to help fellow soldiers survive. >> i think when it comes to endurance, there was a japanese lady that just made it on top of everest last year, i think women, professional athletes are operating at levels which most men would dream of. women are sailing around the world solo. when it comes to stomaching what infantry soldiers have to see, women are having to pick soldiers that have lost up to four limbs at times, daily in

the back of a medevac helicopter coming from the battlefield. >> i think, mikey, let's be honest about this, and no one is being sexist here, as a man who grew up in a family of all women, a single mother for a long time, and listen, no one is a greater fighter of women than me. but women for the most part are not physically as strong as men, and when you're on the battlefield, you want someone as strong as you or stronger than you to help you out of a fox hole. that is just simple physics. >> forgive me. i don't think anyone's talking about compromising the standards that would affect the fighting ability of the infantry unit. i think they're talking about testing and adjusting. >> adjusting tasks. >> if women pass the required levels that allow them to join an infantry unit they should give them an opportunity.

>> implementing this monumental policy change is going to take some time. each branch will examine all its units that don't accept women and come up with a time line for integration. every three months service leaders will have to check in on their progress. for one combat unit in the air force, women are already part of the team. they've been side by side with men fighting on the ground for more than a decade. >> today we're going out to the village of saana. >> thank you. >> we have intel there's possibly three to five fighters in the village. you're going to be going out with osi to do a source meet in the village with ahmed at the car garage. be aware they are possibly armed with rbg's and small arms.

>> this is tech sergeant andrea jefferson's worst nightmare. patrolling a remote area of afghanistan. taking on enemy fire and a comrade goes down. >> he's bleeding right here, i want you to put pressure on his wound. >> jefferson has been training for this moment for months. >> get him out of here. >> within minutes, the injured airman is bandaged up and moved out of harm's way. this is in afghanistan, it soon will be for jefferson. they're at moody air force base in south georgia. >> in a matter of weeks they'll be on the front lines of battle in afghanistan. >> runner, runner, runner. >> they're ready. >> i really felt like the warrior medic i've seen in the movies. >> her squadron is called out, jefferson and the other women of her group will fight alongside the men.

>> the females, you know, we do everything the men do, sometimes even better. >> they're members of the 820th based defense group, from air assault to ground combat. the group does it all. and that includes the women. they're medics, intelligence officers, police officers. their current mission? >> to be a first in combat ready group. >> unlike the rest of the air force, we get to go outside the wire. >> we have approximately 730 individuals assigned to our team, 99 of which are women. each and every one of our mission sets across the group are open to every individual that we have assigned here, regardless of gender, regardless of race. >> until this week, this opportunity was allowed only for the air force. but with secretary of defense leon panetta lifting the ban that kept women from serving in front line combat positions, all

military women will be there fighting side by side with men. >> we have four different air force combat action medal recipients, three purple heart recipients as well as four of our ladies have been entered into the wounded warrior program. across the board, they all perform superbly. >> it's amazing what you can do when the adrenaline's pumping, you turn into super woman. half past the hour, get you caught up on the headlines right now. officials in brazil not ready to definitely say that pyrotechnics caused a nightclub fire that killed 233 people. the club was packed at twice legal capacity, victims were either trapped inside or trampled by the panicked crowd.

influenza. >> that's what research and discovery is about. and being a detective. >> scientists don't know exactly how the flu is transmitted. one theory, it may not be spread through direct or indirect contact but tiny viruss, 1/1,000 the width of a human hair that linger in the air. >> it would be much simpler if the flu is not aerosol transmitted. but i think it's going to play an important role. >> that's where this machine comes into play. it measures how much the flu virus spreads airborne. >> he has ventilation collecting all of his breath. >> this lab is part of a global study, hoping to more clearly explain flu transmission and

potential solutions. >> things like having uv lights to sterilize the air, to have more ventilation, to have local exhaust ventilation, to control what people are breathing. >> the centers for disease control and prevention suggest disinfecting germ contaminated surfaces as one way to avoid the flu. dr. milton agrees with that advice for things we touch. but science still needs more answers about what to do with the air we breathe. emily schmidt, cnn washington. the gun debate hasn't moved congress to act yet. it has fired up some people. packed crowds at gun shows. hear what's bringing them out next 37
