jeb bush arrives for his first campaign stop as a candidate for the white house. >> and i've decided i'm a candidate for president of the united states of america. i intend to let everyone hear my message, including the many who could express their love of country in a different language. [ speaking spanish ] and "meet the press," hillary clinton answers my question about how she squares her populous rhetoric with her ties to wall street donors. >> i'm very grateful for the success that bill and i have had. we feel blessed. i think that is an issue that is secondary in the minds of people. because what they're interested in is what are you going to do as president, what are you going to do for my family?
9:02 am
good day, everyone. i'm andrea mitchell reporting live from the trail today in new hampshire. we are here today as jeb bush is making his first calm ina stop since announcing his candidacy. right now he is here inside this building. he will be speaking to a crowd of supporters and expected to take questions. we'll have a lot more on the race for the white house coming up. first, we have several big developing stories to tell you about. there is the collapse in berkeley, california tragic news out of berkeley today. six people now confirmed dead. eight more are injured. some seriously. a fourth story balcony kol lalsed at a 21st birthday party about 12:40 this morning. i'm joined now on the phone by the public information officer for the berkeley police department. thank you so much for being with us. tell us, what is the latest on the injured, the dead and how this could have happened.
9:03 am
>> good morning, andrea. yes, what we know right now is that still what all we have confirmed is that five are deceased. the other eight are at local hospitals throughout the surrounding bay area. i believe hyland hospital in oakland and mt. eden hospital in castro valley. >> and were these students? what do we know about those who are deceased? >> yes, we do not know or confirm that they were -- we knew they were college age individuals. we do not know if they were actual students. we have received and gathered information that some were from ireland, and i think some were local. and we do not know at this time whether -- if a person who occupied or lived in the apartment or injured or the unit number at this time. >> now, i know you're the spokesman for the police. i just wanted to share with you
9:04 am
what we are sharing with our viewers, is that the coroners office of alameda county is confirming a sixth victim has died. i know you said five people but the coroner's office has confirmed the sixth person. i know you've been tied up and getting on the phone with us. this is a fast breaking story. >> correct. >> to clear up that confusion. we are told this is a new building. do you know anything about the licensing and inspections and if situation there? i mean it just looks like a devastating situation from the images that we're seeing. >> correct. it is a fairly new building. i believe less than five to ten years old. i do not know any details about the building. i do know that city inspector had went out early this morning. did red tag on the veranda units at the apartment and red tagged pem this the building has not been evacuated.
9:05 am
>> all right. there's not structural damage to the rest of the building enough to warrant evacuation. thank you for being with us on this developing story. we will be in touch with you. thanks very much ethell wilson from berkeley county berkeley, california, police. and now to the tropical storm. tropical storm bill about to make landfall between galveston and corpus christi. galveston, historic hurricane area from the torrent of the last century. heavy rain causing floods in a large position of east texas. areas still recovering just from last month's devastating flooding. homeowners there in the houston area have been going through all of that reconstruction. the storm has strengthened to 60 miles an hour. 60-mile-an-hour winds. gusts up to 65 miles an hour. storm bill is expected to weaken after moving overland. there's hope there. nbc meteorologist bill karins joins me now. bill, what are we seeing for the people in that region? how far do we forecast that people are going to be effected?
9:06 am
>> millions of people are going to be effected. how many actually see the defs stating flooding is the question andrea. we had a horrible spring for rain in this area. the soil is about as saturated as it gets. all aft rivers are at their bank fulls. now this tropical storm going to move inland and over land for the next five days and it will flood along its path. to what degree it floods will be determined by how long it stays in certain areas and if you get the training of the storm. the center of the storm is now probably only about two to three miles off the texas coast, so pretty much making land fall. it doesn't have an eye like a big hurricane. what does matter is this feeder band to the north. this is what we were afraid was going to be over the houston area but it has set up just to the south of there. orange coloring. that's who has a good chance of picking up six to 12 inches of rain today. houston is dry right now. they lucked out as the storm went further west during the day today. as far as the storm goes look at this black line. it was taken a v-line and then took that left turn. that is going to spare houston
9:07 am
the worse of the flooding. they could still easily get four to six inches with just training thunderstorms. but we're not going to be watching the ten-inch totals like we could near victoria and then the storm tomorrow heads up toward austin and the dallas areas. dallas tomorrow morning is not going to be fun. yes, it's not going to be a powerful storm but it will have torrential rains with it. right during the morning rush hour tomorrow in dallas and ft. worth. then the storm takes its track through oklahoma missouri ohio valley. it's already in major flooding in illinois and indiana and now this rain will head there on saturday. here it is. we're just starting this as we go throughout this tuesday. we're going to be tracking this over the next four to five days. we're going to flood all along the path. so people living on the rivers are the ones that we're fareful of. they are the ones that are watching this the closest. >> really tough forecast bill. >> i know. >> and am i going to get home
9:08 am
tonight? >> storms in d.c. and philadelphia and new york today, too, so airports will be very slow this evening. >> thank you bill, for that. >> sorry. and we have breaking news now. federal official confirmed to nbc the fbi is looking into allegations that get this officials of the st. louis cardinals baseball team illegally hacked into a computer database of the houston astros. nbc justice correspondent pete williams joins me now. pete, this is taking monteday money ball to a whole new level. >> you're right. the source of the interest in the database is that kind of statistically analysis that has become such a big deal in baseball. this story was originally reported by michael schmidt of the "new york times" on the website today and federal officials do confirm the fbi has been looking into this for several months. according to officials after major league baseball got concerned about brought the fbi in after some information was posted anonymously online.
9:09 am
what the officials are investigating is whether the hacked information and in a way this is just corporate espionage. looked at players statistics scouting reports. major league baseball has said there is an investigation under way. here's what they say in a statement. major league baseball has been aware of and has fully cooperated with the federal investigation into the illegal breach of the astros baseball operations database. now, andrea we don't know who specifically the investigators are look at here, whether they have any suspects in terms of who actually did the hacking. but several officials confirm to us that this investigation has been under way now for several months. >> we don't know whether the astros i understand, were -- they changed leagues three seasons ago, so this could have been going on for a while. >> yes. and it may involve the fact that the general manager of the
9:10 am
astros is someone who had -- that there had been a leadership change, the same person that worked for both teams and maybe there was some bad feelings there. >> okay. so it's the cardinals investigating for hacking the astros. some of our signage may have been confusing. is that right, pete? >> that's right. >> thanks for being with us. and we have breaking news also to report from texas. a third man is now indicted in connection with the shooting outside a draw the profit contest. you recall that controversy. abdul-karim also known as dekaris thomas, weapons possession, and lying to federal investigator investigators. they say kareem took the gunman to practice shooting according to the allegations, and gave them assault rifles. both gunmen were killed by a security guard after they opened fire outside the event on may 3rd. a murder plot may have been
9:11 am
part of the plan after convicted murderers richard matt and david sweat escaped from prison 11 days ago. investigators are, according to reports, looking into weather joyce mitchell their alleged accomplice wanted her husband to be killed. this as the district attorney says his investigation is just getting under way. >> i think it's entirely possible that they had the assistance of something else or they had the assistance of, you know another individual that was cooperating with them. even while joyce mitchell was. but at this point in time the only person that we have been able to identify is joyce mitchell. >> meanwhile, the manhunt continues near the prison. but authorities at the mexican and canadian borders are also on alert for any possible sightings. nbc's miguel am gar has more from morrisonville, new york. miguel? >> andrea with this manhunt now on day 11, thesordid web is more
9:12 am
complex. they're book looking into the theory, the possibility that inmate rich chaed matt may have been selling some of his artwork, use that money to hush people inside the prison or buy help from the outside. it's one of several theories investigators are following here. this as the manhunt continues. more than 800 officers scouring this area for those two fugitives on the run now for. 11 days. investigators still believe, they say, those inmates may be in this area though there have been no confirmed sightings. this as joyce mitchell, the prison employee is also behind bars. it's unclear when her next court appearance will be but her attorney says, for now, she is pleading not guilty. andrea, back to you. >> all right, thanks to miguel almaguer. we are coming to you live from the campaign trail here in derry, new hampshire. jeb bush is wrapping up his first campaign event. he's inside the opera house behind me. first event since announcing his candidacy for president.
9:13 am
>> ladies and gentlemen, i am officially running for president of the united states and we are going to make our country great again. >> and now there an even dozen, including the pitchman himself. is the donald for real this time or par ray name recognition for a seat at the first debate? you're watching "andrea mitchell reports" coming to you live from the campaign trail in new hampshire only on msnbc.
9:14 am
when i started at the shelter, i noticed benny right away. i just had to adopt him. he's older so he needs my help all day. when my back pain flared up we both felt it i took tylenol at first but i had to take 6 pills to get through the day. then my friend said "try aleve". just two pills, all day. and now, i'm back for my best bud! aleve. all day strong and try aleve pm now with an easy open cap. audible safety beeping audible safety beeping
9:15 am
9:17 am
and back on the trail, jeb bush is here in derry, new hampshire, trying to build on the momentum from a vel received kickoff campaign event in miami. first town hall as candidate is just getting started. let's get our upstate from nbc news senior white house correspondent chris jansing here with me now, the wonder woman, iron woman. >> it was inechtvitable we would meet in new hampshire. >> new hampshire is so important to jeb bush because historically bushes don't do well in iowa. >> that's right. >> all the early polling, even though early polling is discountable would indicate he would have the same challenge in iowa with evangelicals and conservatives dominating the republican party. so new hampshire has been critical, critical for his dad and his brother in the past, no different for him. new hampshire, first stop first primary state. >> and place where he feels comfortable. he knows he has a.
9:18 am
constituency that is more open to his ideas than some of the more conservative areas. and it's also a place where, because of that you know he can sort of shake off a little bft cobwebs. he's been out on the road for six months. but this is different. and i mean one way it's different is i just go inside there and the number of cameras and the number of people. as i was walking in maybe you noekser half an hour before this event was supposed to start there were people who were being asked did you register? no i didn't register. we'll try to find room for you. this is the kind of emotion and enthusiasm that is going to help him. you've been on so many campaigns, as i have. there is something about that audience and the agilation they gave you that really gets you going. and he needed that because, as you know he's had some bad press leading up to yesterday. >> i was surprised, frankly, with his new team and his speech writers, that he didn't mention immigration in his launch speech until, as some have pointed out, he was rescued by the protesters on immigration, because then he
9:19 am
went into immigration reform and his pledge to do it legislatively, not by executive action which is his -- republican's rap against president obama. is he running away from that because this is the candidate who said he would not be running unless he could be authentic and win the republican primary without changing his views as mitt romney did to distress in the general election. >> and being pressed on the issue of do you support a path to citizenship or just to be legal. and so, you know that's a question that's being asked inside that room as well. and it's something that he feels he needs to own. so it was surprising yesterday, i thought, although his team was very happy with the way he handled it. >> he handled it brilliantly. >> there are some people, especially in the middle of a speech, and a speech of so much consequence, there was so much pressure on him to have a good launch mark. rubio had had such a good response to his launch that it would have been easy to be thrown off the mark. but he handled it well.
9:20 am
i think now the question is going to be how does he make that explanation work with some of these primary voters who definitely don't want what he wants. >> i know you have to go inside to cover. you're on to iowa next? >> i will be skipping iowa going to south carolina. the fact of the matter is in the early days of these campaigns, sometimes the airlines don't cooperate with the schedule of the candidate. >> we've had the same experience. chuck todd as well. there is no way, you know, our poor friend alex was up all night driving to cedar rapids and iowa and going to chicago and trying to fly. this time of year the airlines do not cooperate with the candidates' schedule. >> all the glamour, andrea mitchell oh, the glamour. >> thank you, chris jansing. >> great being on. joining me now, former republican chair michael steele and former pennsylvania governor ed rendell. you guys don't have to worry about the airlines and keeping up with these candidates but, let me tell you, this has been
9:21 am
particularly difficult for the correspondents in these early days when there is no campaign plane. michael steele what about jeb bush's launch? what we found in, you know just chatting with some of the people as they began to arrive is there wasn't a whole passion for him here, it's early. he's just starting. what would you say about the way he got through yesterday? >> i think he did very well. i thought it was a solid effort by jeb. you know i appreciate the exclamation point behind the name, sort of signature way he wants to approach this campaign self identified, not with his dad or his brother, but with his time as the governor of the state of florida. and i think that jeb is trying to carve out that space. the only thing i would ask is let's give him the room to do that. let's see how he presents his vision for america based on his experience as a governor based
9:22 am
on his experience as, you know with family members in the latino community. i thought his handling of that question, you were spot on was very well done in the midst of a very important speech to be distracted that way, to not misa beat, to pick up the message and not be afraid of it andrea. i think that's something that jeb is going to have to show more and more as he goes forth. he's not afraid to take on an issue hike that and to even challenge the legacy of his father and the presidency of his brother. >> and if this does shape up to be jeb bush versus hillary clinton, two prohibitively vantage candidates despite the problems of name, they do have organizations, they do have money, they have family experience behind them in both cases, ed rendell, i asked hillary clinton yesterday, she held a long news conference 20 minutes. the first of the campaign since she's announced. i asked her about something that mitt romney had suggested on
9:23 am
"morning joe" yesterday which is that she could be bur denned by the same money questions because the is so much richer and so much better connected to wall street than the people that she's advocating for, at least in her rhetoric as she steers a bit to the left. this is that exchange. >> is there a problem with you being more populous in talking at the hedge fund guys and how much these ceos make when they are your big contributors and you have made so much money from speeches? >> well you know i -- i'm very grateful for the success that bill and i have had. we both come from hardworking families, and we have worked really hard both of us over the course of our lives. and we feel blessed. we feel absolutely grateful for the opportunities that we've had. but i've been saying pretty much the same things since i was a college student. i am proud of my progressive credentials and experiences and
9:24 am
accomplishments, and i am waging a campaign about what i think is best for the country. i don't think americans are against success. i think americans are against people who get on the top of the ladder and start pulling it up so nobody else has the same chance that they had and then act as though you know they pulled themselves up by the bootstraps and a log cabin they built themselves. at some point we're all in this together. and those of us who do have opportunities ought to be doing more to help other people have the same. >> ed rendell, this is the first time she's been asked about the money issue since she's running. she's got an answer. >> very good answer andrea. the only thing i would add is that the two american presidents who probably did the most to help poor people, in my lifetime, very young lifetime were fdr and jfk. and they were both extremely wealthy men. extremely wealthy men. so there's no correlation between your personal wealth and what you do in terms of policy.
9:25 am
where mitt romney tripped over his own feet really was the statements he made about the people in the bottom tier economically and that they wanted handouts et cetera. hillary clinton is always fought for those people. she doesn't have to bran dish her progressive credentials because on the singular most important progressive issue of our lifetime universe all health care, hillary clinton was out there before anybody and she took slings and arose because of her fight for health care. >> m and quick question to both of you, please about the shiny new object. this time he actually said he's running. he's yet to disclose his liabilities. only disclosed his assets. but, you know is donald trump just trying to get into that debate? to you, first, michael. >> i don't think -- i think it's more than just trying to get into that debate. i think, you know if you strip away a lot of the noise and theatrics around donald trump he
9:26 am
does have a message that kind of resonates with some folks within the party. and even outside the party. and the question for him is how does he capture that lightning in a bottle without all the atmospherics. to show himself to be serious about this effort. running for the presidency is not -- it's not, you know a television experience. it's a real life experience for the american people to judge leadership and your capacity to lead. and whether or not you're ready to deal with the big problems of the day. he's going to have to show that. and we'll see ultimately. i give everyone the benefit of the doubt until there is no longer any doubt. >> ed rendell, do you have any doubt this is anything more than a carnival show? >> you know one of these days i thought donald would actually run for it. i think he wants to get in that first debate. depending on how he does in that first debate and i agree with michael. he has a message that resonates with some americans. no question about that. if he conducts himself well,
9:27 am
delivers his strong message, and comes out of that debate with some good numbers, he might just actually do it this time. but it's probably just for the ratings anyway. >> we'll see who is right. thank you very much steele and rendell. and more live from the campaign trail right here in derry new hampshire. in just a moment. but first, the exclusive interview with rachel dolezal and what she has to say about the anger that sparked by her choice to identify as black. the msnbc exclusive coming up next. unbelievable! toenail fungus? seriously? smash it with jublia! jublia is a prescription medicine proven to treat toenail fungus. use jublia as instructed by your doctor. look at the footwork! most common side effects include ingrown toenail, application site redness, itching, swelling burning or stinging, blisters, and pain. smash it! make the call and ask your doctor if jublia is right for you. new larger size now available. put your hand over your heart. is

9:31 am
expect them to live black -- blackness. >> rachel dolezal breaking her silence in an exclusive interview with msnbc's melissa harris-perry. >> you respond to my question, are your black, and your response is yes. there are listeners who are enraged. >> that is true. >> not confused. enraged. and many of those listeners, many of those observers who are angry are black women. can you understand that anger? >> yes. >> and i would say stepping outside of myself i would probably be enraged -- what the -- this person -- how dare she claim this. but they don't know me. they really don't know what i've actually walked through and how hard it is -- this has not been
9:32 am
something that just is a casual you know come and go sort of identity, you know or an identity crisis or something that's going to fade away and people have asked, so, you know are you going to go back to being white or -- if you are rejected beity black community, what do you do? i'll be me. i'll be me because you know i feel like at the same time i never want to be a liability to the cause. and i take that very seriously. >> the controversy over her identifying as black led her to step down as president of the spokane, washington naacp chapter. joining me now to discuss all this msnbc kruter jonathan capehart and also spoke with rachel dolezal today. first to you, amber, you spoke with rachel dolezal. there's a lot of complexity here
9:33 am
including her saying in one of her interviews today with nbc and msnbc that she felt this connection because of her black sons, which is offensive on a lot of levels to people with adopted children people with interracial children. there's just this whole question of why she felt she had to be identifying herself as black because her children were black. did you better understand this after meeting her? >> andrea it was tough to understand that. she really felt like part of her owning the black experience was being the mother to these black sons and she talks about visibly transforms herself and part of that, the black hair. she talks about being patted down at the tsa and just her light skinned privilege. one thing that stood out to me is we did talk about privilege and she did admit that there is a window of white privilege and she did admit she falls into that window of privilege. >> and jonathan capehart, this
9:34 am
is so complicated, the fact that we are all talking about it one issue. jon stewart and others have made much of that. the naacp made it clear that you don't have to be black to be a leader in their organization or other organizations for racial equality. how do you come down on this? >> well, look, a white person who so strongly identifies with african-americans and african-american culture, that's great. you know, we can use all the alaskaal allyies we can get. a white person who is so down with the struggle that they want to lead either a chapter of the naacp or be in the hierarchy of any of the civil rights organizations, that's great, too. i mean former head of the naacp reminded earlier this week that the naacp was created by white people. so that's not a problem at all, either. the problem is a white person
9:35 am
pretending to be black and leading a black organization that's why i think one of the many reasons why i think this controversy exploded. had she not fabricated her life story, this stuff about living in a teepee and hunting -- using bows and arrows to hunt for food, being abused by her parents, she alleges, based on quote, skin complexion. passing off an african-american man as her father on a facebook page. all of those things are, as we now know not true. and so that's why rachel dolezal had to give up being the spokane -- the president of the spokane chapter of the naacp. that's why she finds herself in the middle of this controversy over identity and iauthenticity. authenticity is the problem. the big problem that she has now. >> and, amber, what kind of reaction are you getting on
9:36 am
nbc/blk to your interview and this whole story. is it blowing up? >> people are furious. people feel like she's coopted blackness and she's hijacked blackness and she's able to make this choice to go back and forth and to be able to make that decision you know having this light skinned privilege. so this is really set off a storm. i think a lot of people have also said look we're happy that she could be a white ally. why can't she just be a white ally. she told me -- she said i don't know if i can be many and be a white ally. she really feels like the black lives matter movement needs black leaders. and she prides herself on grooming young black women and grooming young black leaders, especially in her chapter. >> very complicated stuff. a lot of personal issues there as well. amber payne, thank you so much from nbcblk and jonathan capehart thank you for trying to i'm us understand this. rachel dolezal has a lot more to say. you can see all of melissa

9:41 am
territory across the middle east and north africa committing unspeakable atrocities. these are the kinds of threats that the united nations exist to prevent and address. yet it is precisely at the moment when we need the u.n. most, that we see the flaws in the international system. >> u.s. ambassador to the united nations samantha power testifying today about the multiple challenges facing an embattled united nations as the 70th anniversary of the u.n. approaches. the u.n. and other global institutions are not equipped to tackle 21st century threats without major reforms. i'm joined now by a former secretary of state former u.n. ambassador madeleine albright joining us from the hague and the netherlands. she co-chaired the commission that issued this report. thank you for being with us. we have a satellite delay. i want to ask you to outline what you think are the major problems that the u.n. is not equipped to handle.
9:42 am
>> it's good to be with you, andrea. i think as ambassador power said, she listed the problems that are out there that require partnership and cooperation and for an international understanding that they are difficult and that the u.n. in fact, needs to be better equipped. what this commission reports a done is look at fragile states and how the disruptions there are creating problems in their regions. then also on the environment and climate change and which needs to be done there and then also the international economy and the connectivity and cyber issues and governance. and what has happened is that i co-chaired this with former ambassador to the u.n. from nigeria who also served on the
9:43 am
security council when i did, and we know that we have a lot of work ahead. it was issued to be out at the time of the 70th anniversary of the united nations in order to get partnerships and strength behind some revisions in the u.n. by the 75th anniversary. so it's kind of a road map about how to deal with the issues that ambassador power raised. >> for instance ukraine. how do you deal with a crisis in ukraine when they are a member of the security council and would veto any meaningful action? >> i think that is very much an issue obviously. we 45d a similar issue when we were dealing with kosovo and one of the reasons that we didn't go to the security council was that specifically following up on other security council resolutions that said that what
9:44 am
happened in kosovo was a threat to peace and security. we went to nato. it is good i think to try to get an international coalition to work on these issues which the administration has done by working with the european union on anksanctions legislation and there are sanctions resolutions that have to do with ukraine. what you try to do is figure out what multilateral venue exists in order to deal with the issue of the support of the international community. and what russia did was clearly break the rules of the established system that has been there ever since the end of world war ii. >> i'm here in new hampshire, a place you know very well from your days for working with ed muskie and following through on a number of presidential campaigns. in this campaign hillary clinton gave a launch speech barely mentioning for written policy. it doesn't seem to be on the radar of the candidates or the voters.

how do you get people to care about these crises when the american public seems to want to just focus on the economy? >> well, i do think that we are at a period when the american public is tired from a war of choice in iraq that was a problem, and the results of what's happened in afghanistan. there is the necessity of focusing on domestic issues. but ultimately i do think that there has to be a national security international component to any campaign. and i know that those subjects will be out there because the united states i believe, needs to be engaged internationally but not necessarily -- i think we need partners which is why, in fact, this report is so important because it does talk about action with others to reform the system to deal with
9:46 am
the threats that are out there that are not just to the united states but to others in the world. and it requires that kind of cooperation. so the u.s. has to be engaged and it is my belief that it will be engaged. >> madden albrightl madeleine albright madam secretary, thank you for being with us. safe travels to you. and we have more coming up live from the campaign trail here in derry, new hampshire. we'll be back in just a moment. after a break hillary clinton calls out the only woman who has been both governor and senator from the state of new hampshire. we'll speak to her coming up next. when i started at the shelter, i noticed benny right away. i just had to adopt him. he's older so he needs my help all day. when my back pain flared up we both felt it i took tylenol at first but i had to take 6 pills to get through the day. then my friend said "try aleve". just two pills, all day. and now, i'm back for my best bud! aleve. all day strong

9:48 am
a higher risk of stroke due to afib, a type of irregular heartbeat, not caused by a heart valve problem. but i won't accept giving it less than my best. so if i can go for something better than warfarin ...i will. eliquis. eliquis... reduced the risk of stroke better than warfarin plus it had less major bleeding than warfarin... eliquis had both. that really mattered to me. don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking eliquis you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. i accept that i'm not as fast, but i'm still going for my personal best... and for eliquis. reduced risk of stroke... plus less major bleeding.

9:51 am
you know i understand -- the latest polls show him ahead. there's a lot of interest in his candidacy because he's the son of a president, the brother of a president. so people want to know what he has to say. but we also know it's a long time from now until the new hampshire primary. and so he's going to need to make his case to voters. >> senator, you voted in favor of trade authority. the latest version of hillary clinton's position on this was against saying that the president should do a better job to leverage his power and try to improve the bill. but isn't improving the bill killing the bill? >> well, we haven't seen all of the particulars around the trade negotiations with the asian countries, the trans-pacific partnership. so i agree we need to have the best bill that we can to support american businesses and to make sure that if american workers
9:52 am
are displaced that they get help. that's why i was disappointed to see the house action last friday where they did not support trade adjustment assistance. hopefully if we're going to -- if we're going to do trade and give the president fast track authority, if we're going to engage in trade negotiations with we need to make sure that workers get a level playing field. we need to make sure that goods are not dumped into the american market and that there are some enforcement procedures. and that's what i want to see from the president. that's what i want to see from those running for office. >> that would presumably include hillary clinton. this is still a work in progress. i know we want to talk about the defense bill. close to final passage on this. you put in such an important provision which would give contraceptive and family planning rights to the women in the military. >> well, that's right. and i was very happy that my amendment got into the bill
9:53 am
itself. got bipartisan support in the committee. and what it would do is make sure that our women who are serving in the military and about 15% now of people serving in the military are women, to make sure that they get the same access to contraceptives and family planning that our civilian population gets and that the defense department needs to do a better job with that. and so that's what the provision would do. >> senator shaheen, we'll have to take that up more on that later. thank you very much for being with us here. >> thank you. >> we're loving new hampshire. >> it's beautiful. and more -- i know it is. it's such a great state. we'll have more from derry, new hampshire, coming up in a moment right here from the trail.

you are looking at two airplane fuel gauges. can you spot the difference? no? you can't see that? alright, let's take a look. the one on the right just used 1% less fuel than the one on the left. now, to an airline a 1% difference could save enough fuel to power hundreds of flights around the world. hey, look at that. pyramids. so you see, two things that are exactly the same have never been more different. ge software. get connected. get insights. get optimized. ♪ [music] ♪ jackie's heart attack didn't come with a warning.
