sexual assault charges. today he told the court being promiscuous doesn't make him a bad person. and tommy tuberville blocking promotions, and accusing fellow republicans, and stay silent where active service members suffer. we begin with mike memoli at the white house for more on the pressure campaign from the white house toward senator tuberville. what exactly are they doing, mike, and do they think it's working so far? >> reporter: this is a white house that really likes to highlight what you might call these split screen moments, and we saw them do just that yesterday as they put out a memo illustrating what they thought was the president's strength overseas fortifying and expanding what is really at the foundation of our national defense strategy, the nato alliance, with what they see the senator from alabama doing back at home, putting our national

security at risk by holding, delaying promotions, and what the republicans in the house have been doing, having show votes, votes on culture war issue, tied to the ndaa policy bill. you see the white house eager to jump on opportunities to exploit or highlights the divisions itself within the republican party by what they consider to be mainstream or traditional republicans with what we have heard so often described as the extreme maga wing. we heard the president do this himself as he spoke at the close of this foreign trip yesterday. let's take a listen. >> i respect the republican party to stand up, stand up and do something about. it's within their power to do that. the idea that we don't have a chairman of the joint chiefs of staff. the idea that we have all of these promotions that we don't know what's going to happen. the idea that we're injecting into fundamental foreign policy decisions what, in fact, is a

domestic social debate on social issues is bizarre. i don't ever recall that happening. ever. and it's just totally irresponsible in my view. >> reporter: chris, i'm told the white house is going to continue to build on this strategy by highlighting some of the local impacts of these delayed military promotions and the impacts they're having on the families who are dealing with this. >> mike, thank you so much. now to london where actor kevin spacey faced hours of cross-examination in his criminal sexual assault case. spacey's attorney also called some other witnesses to his defense. tell us what happened in the courtroom today. >> reporter: that's right, chris, there were some pretty fiery exchanges in the courtroom today. it was a chance for the prosecution to cross examine him, and they challenged the testimony he gave yesterday. at times, kevin spacey appeared irritated. he called the case against him

weak. he accused the prosecutor of twisting what happened. the prosecutor said that three out of four of the plaintiffs had mentioned groping and said is that something he usually does. he said, no. she challenged him, again, saying that grabbing and groping genitalia was his trademark. he might have likely touched someone one time. they asked him whether he was lonely here in london, and he sought out sexual contact. he said, welcome to life, and that prompted a laugh from the public gallery. as you mentioned, witnesses were also brought in his defense, and they were quite crucial because one of the plaintiffs had said that kevin spacey had groped him in a theater, but the director of that theater and the coordinator of that theater said that they had never seen the plaintiff. the plaintiff said kevin spacey was drunk when he did this, and his two witnesses said that he

was absolutely not drunk and they would have noticed if kevin spacey had been drunk. ultimately by then, kevin spacey said he had had consensual sexual activity with two of the plaintiffs, one of the plaintiffs, he had completely misread the situation, and he accused the fourth plaintiff of completely making up the entire scenario. asked why would somebody make up this entire scenario, he said, money, money, and more money. >> ali arouzi, thank you for that. we're now learning more about the suspect arrested in connection with the long unsolved giglo beach serial killings. a lot of folks may not have heard of this. tell us what's happening? >> i can tell you it's a stunning development in a cold case. authorities are saying they have a suspect in custody. 59-year-old rex herman. we're told he's an architecture who lives on long island but

works in manhattan, and that's where authorities say they arrested him last night. this comes after authorities had searched for some time in a thicket along a beach road in long island when they first found the body of the first victim. they then said they found several other remains of victims in that area, and they believed that they had a serial killer on their hands. authorities now saying that they think they have a suspect in this case. they spoke earlier this morning. take a listen. >> for me, the members of our team, have been on bringing justice for these victims and closure to these families who have suffered. today's developments take us a major step forward. >> the sister of one of the victims says that she hopes it's been a long time coming and i never gave up hope that one day

justice would be served. an attorney representing some of these victims says it gives us a sign of relief, but it is partial. there's still much to be done on this. that attorney indicating that he's not sure if this one man is responsible for all of these victims' deaths. chris. >> rehema ellis, thank you for that. now to morgan radford in miami where the 2024 candidates are vying for the crucial cuban american vote. talk about the strategies we're seeing there. >> that's right. this is a crucial voting block indeed. for starters, each of the campaigns has already lined up surrogates in the cuban american community. we have three candidates here from the state of florida. we've seen each candidate do interviews for spanish language media. after speaking to voters, the run away favorite is not the

cuban mayor, it's donald trump, who got 17% of the cuban-american vote in the state's primary backing. one recent poll shows a 20 point gap between trump and desantis. that's across all ethnic backgrounds. trump has an almost 39% against hispanic residents. cuban americans make up the largest ethnic block. that's more than a quarter of its latino population. we spoke with those voters. here's what they told us. >> you kind of like can't say you support desantis because they will go after you. they feel that you're a traitor to trump if you do this, so that's why i said, there's a silent majority. people who come and say, i support desantis, i'm going to vote for im. i just don't want to say it out loud. >> ex-president donald trump to me has been one of the best presidents the united states has

had. >> donald trump's support on cuban americans is so strong. >> just a reminder, chris, florida's republican primary date is set for march 19th. obviously, though, a lot can happen between now and then. >> as we have seen in the past. thank you, morgan radford. appreciate it. a critical defense bill that typically sails through congress passes only narrowly. how the military got caught in the middle of the nation's hot button culture wars. that's coming up in 60 seconds. . atth's coming up in 60 seconds ♪ tourists tourists that turn into scientists. tourists taking photos that are analyzed by ai. so researchers can help life underwater flourish. ♪ trying vapes to quit smoking so resea might feelhelp life un like progress,sh. but with 3x more nicotine than a pack of cigarettes - vapes increase cravings - trapping you in an endless craving loop. nicorette reduces cravings until they're gone for good.

hi, my name's steve. i lost 138 pounds on golo and i kept it off. golo's changed my life in so many ways. before, i was over 300 pounds. now, i literally have the ability to take a shirt off and go out in the sun where i would have never done that before. try golo. it works. the house has just narrowly passed the annual national defense bill after republican house members tapped on controversial amendments on abortion. and gender affirming surgeries and hormone treatments. the bill passed largely along party lines with house democrats calling the gop measures non-starters for them. and this comes as outrage grows

over one congressman using a derogatory term during a heated debate over the bill. >> my amendment has nothing to do with whether or not colored people or black people or anybody can serve. okay. it has nothing to do with -- >> mr. speaker. >> any of that stuff. >> arizona congressman eli crane asked to amend what he said to people of color. and later said he misspoke. his words were stricken from the record. nbc's sahil kapur is on capitol hill. and former chair of the new york democratic party, democratic party, basil smikle. what is the latest on the defense bill and the fallout co comments? >> reporter: the house today did what congress almost never does which is make the military authorization bill partisan. house republicans passed it narrowly with the inclusion of controversial provisions to restrict funding for abortion, to restrict gender affirming care, as well as restrict

diversity programs within the military. this is something that's not going to pass when it gets to the senate, and house democrats who normally put up a big vote from their side on the military authorization bill, almost all of them voted against it this time for the reason of those controversial provisions. have a listen to what minority leader hakeem jeffries said about that. >> now, our view of the national defense authorization act is that it is woefully irresponsible that extreme maga republicans have hi jacked a bipartisan bill that is essential to our national security and taken it over and weaponized it in order to jam their extreme right wing ideology down the throats of the american people. >> reporter: now, speaker mccarthy for his part defended

the military authorization bill, arguing that tax dollars should not go toward wokism. that was a word he used several times. house republicans committed this was not going to be the final product, as it gets to the democrat controlled senate. eli crane, speaker mccarthy was asked about this. he said crane's comments were not acceptable and he will take crane at his word that he misspoke. he has never heard crane use that word before. the congressional black caucus was a little less forgiving of crane. they put out a statement calling crane's comment unprofessional, insensitive, unbecoming of a member of the u.s. house of representatives, smacks of vestiges of racism, proves that this is not a color blind society even in 2023, despite what some conservative justices say. he called on crane to apologize, and also suggested that crane visit the diversity office in the house of representatives to learn about the history of the term he used.

>> thank you so much for that. basil, what do you make of the fact that he said he misspoke? >> kind of rolled off the tongue. i don't know if he misspoke or not. but what i would say is he seemed comfortable saying it. it's interesting that he's being told to go to the diversity office given how much republicans are so anti-diversity these days. i'm surprised that office actually exists, so having said that, look, if you're someone who's been paying a lot of attention, as we have been to the language and the activity behind make america great again, a lot of that is also not just the bills that are being passed, not just the policies but the language and the attitude. so it seemed that he felt very comfortable using that term and whether or not he says he misspoke, whether he really did or not, it seems to have been top of mind, and as a result of that, i'm sure there are

opportunity where he and other members of congress were in many ways some of his followers had certain rooms feel comfortable using that term, and that's what's disturbing. >> speaking of diversity, it's part of one of the amendments that the republicans have put into the military spending bill in addition to restrictions on abortion access, care for transgender troops. one candidate called it an ode to bigotry and ignorance. is there any doubt, though, that the culture wars are here to stay, and they are a big influence in 2024. >> no doubt that they're here to stay. as much as we may focus on ron desantis and wokism in florida, it's a cancer that has metastasized. it's to one state. it is within our federal government. it's in our federal law making. we see that with this bill. even though it may get batted down on the senate side, i imagine that going into 2024, going right up to election day, you will consistently see republican bill after republican

bill have this same kind of language and content, and intention that eventually gets batted down in the senate, but that's also part of the point. the point is that republicans that are in the majority are going to continue to make these kinds of policies and use it as a way to motivate, mobilize their voters. >> one of the interesting things that's been happening over the last couple of weeks, and just happened in new york, you know the crazy maps that were drawn to redistrict? there are states where courts in some of the cases, conservative courts are saying, this is crazy. new york is a place where it's possible they could get some congressional seats as a result of a ruling. >> boy, how many times did i go to vote or think i was going to go vote because of the way the lines were drawn last year. it's been a crazy situation. but the reality is for democrats this is a great opportunity. it gives them a chance to redraw the lines if the commission doesn't draw it in a way where

they can come to a consensus about it. it goes to the democratically controlled legislature. the party nationally, and in a state where hakeem jeffries lives, in his own district, he has an opportunity actually to reclaim seats for democrats. republicans are going to continue to take this to court. we'll see this stretch out. it will all happen in time for the 2024 elections. basil smikle, good to have you here. happy friday. thousands of actors joining striking rioters, taking on the big studios in hollywood. how far are they willing to go? you're watching "chris jansing reports" only on msnbc. anng reports" only on msnbc ♪ tourists tourists that turn into scientists. tourists taking photos that are analyzed by ai. so researchers can help life underwater flourish. ♪ (bobby) my store and my design business? we're exploding. so researchers can help life underwater flourish. but my old internet, was not letting me run the show. so, we switched to verizon business internet. they have business grade internet, nationwide.

hollywood is at a standstill today. 160,000 actors and performers officially going on strike joining the writers on the picket lines for the first time in more than 60 years. sag-aftra, the actors' union failed to reach a deal with media streamers after four weeks of negotiation. they're demanding better pay and protections against the impact artificial intelligence could have in the future. nbc's reporting in los angeles. seema mody is covering the economic impact of the strike let's start on the picket lines and what you're hearing there.

>> reporter: oh, my goodness, it is so loud over here, i could barely hear you. supporters on riverside drive. i know you know where that is, chris, and take a look at the picket lines. we have more than 500 sag-aftra members accompanied by writers guild. disney is like what can we do. you can't cross the picket line. they're being very nice about the strike, but the line is growing. this is one of eight locations throughout the l.a. area. we have four locations in new york that activated today for striking and picketing. and one side in san francisco, and i am being told that this list is going to grow. right now, joining me is jewells, a strike captain, and an actress you might recognize from shows such as "lucifer" and

"swat," day one, how are you feeling? >> i'm impressed with our membership. we have 500 people right now who have shown up from sag-aftra at this location. morale is high. everybody is here to support the cause, and to get what we feel we deserve and need. >> reporter: day one, there's a lot of fist pumps but we know that next week, week after, it might look a little bit different. are you mentally prepared for that? >> yes, we're here for the long haul. we believe in what it is we do, and we know that the consumers love film and tv, and the times have changed. the contract doesn't work anymore for the new business model. so and a.i. is a big conversation, everybody knows. we are here for the long haul. there will be days where it's packed like this, days it's not as busy, we're going to be here on this line as long as it

takes. >> jules, you were telling me you have a lot of support from other unions. the teachers union, other union members coming here, giving support, walking the picket lines with you guys, and dropping off snacks and water. it is going to be over 90 degrees in los angeles. everybody needs to hydrate. for a sweltering day, the spirits are up. >> thank you for that, seema talk about the timing for the studios and theaters and the potential economic impact it could have if this goes on and on. i was thinking some really big movies debuting next week, and the folks cannot walk the red carpet. >> we haven't seen this type hollywood strike since the 1980s and the cost of the strike according to analyst was around $40 million a week. if you use those calculations,

adjust for inflation, and apply to this strike. the financial impact is estimated to be around $150 million a week, a number of high profile media weighing in, including bob iger, saying the strikes are disruptive, and come at an inopportunistic time, where the pivot to streaming, advertising giants pulling back because of the economic situation we're in right now, so clearly a challenging moment for the industry, and now wondering how do these media companies stay profitable in an environment where we've always been told content is king, chris. >> thank you so much for that, seema. jake, look, obviously there's a lot of money at stake here, whether you're an actor who's in a show that hasn't been on the air in ten years, and it ends up on netflix, and what are the residual situations, but a.i. is really at heart of what a lot of

folks are worried about here if you're an actor. tell us exactly what a.i. could do, what they're worried about? >> there's already evidence of what it will do if the studios get their way. one of the proposals the studios made in the contract negotiations, they called it ground breaking. i don't think it's quite in the way they meant to use the word was the idea that a background actress would get paid a single day's fee, and would have their likeness scanned in on that day such that the studio could deploy it using a.i. from then on. that would mean that person wouldn't have any more work this that studio, why would they need to hire them for that scene again, and they wouldn't make the minimum to get health insurance. you extrapolate from that to what writers and experts have been talking to me, and technological people would say is perfectly possible, you're sitting down in front of a television. you're going to be able to say i would like a julia roberts viking comedy with a little bit

of darkness and sex, but not too much, you'll be able to put that into the computer and out comes a custom made, it sounds crazy, but that is the path we're on. important to note that not only are the writers taking this seriously and the actors taking this seriously but the directors guild of network, they have a new three-year contract, they specifically said no generative a.i. will be allowed to replace our role in productions. it is undoubted that sag-aftra and the writers guild is after the same protections. we can see where this is going. this is also something of a bellwether for a lot of industries. this is the cutting edge of it. >> you're looking at me. >> you and me, we're not exactly safe in this business, as well as any other business. if there's something that a.i. can do. companies are going to try to get a.i. to do it. >> jake ward, you are ir replaceable. >> you too, chris, you and me.

the issue of abortion was a huge and powerful motivator for voters in 2022. it may be even bigger in 2024.

according to gallop, a record 28% of registered voters now say they will only vote for candidates for major office who share their position on abortion. that's higher than it was in 2022 or 2019. it is a huge issue for republicans with candidates facing the challenge of how to win over conservatives without alienating more moderate republicans. we'll see it on full display in iowa when governor kim reynolds bans abortion after just six weeks. i want to bring back nbc's dasha burns live at the family leadership summit in des moines where that signing will take place. also with me, elaine godfry, and jennifer horn, chair of the new hampshire republican party. thank you for being here. it would seem if you've got the bill signing in the middle of a summit of conservatives, it could force the candidates to be

explicit exactly where they stand. >> reporter: iowa is putting abortion front and center in the primary. it might make things difficult for candidates in the primary, and of course creating that tension for the general election. evangelical voters in this state say that this is a very very important issue for them. it's been talked about a lot already here at the summit. in the next hour or so, we expect that governor kim reynolds will sign that bill, and it is a bit of a litmus test for caucus goers. i want you to hear what bob vander plaats said about this issue, a hugely influential political voter in iowa. he has a history of endorses candidates that tend to go on and win in caucuses. he has a good pulse on what iowa voters are interested in. >> i think iowans know if you're right on the sanctity of human

life, you're right on a lot of other things. but if you're wrong, you're going to be wrong on a lot of other things as well. >> you have a lot of candidates that dodge the issue. >> and dodging the issue demonstrates nuance, like what do you believe, and anytime you leave lingering questions, especially on foundational issues, that's a problem for you as a candidate. >> one candidate that vander platts believes is leaving lingering questions is former president trump who is not here today to give these voters any clarity, but again, that tension between primary and general voters here certainly want a very staunchly anti-abortion candidate, but that's not necessarily where a lot of the country's at, chris. >> jennifer, our first read suggests that may be why trump isn't there. you have the governor signing this hard line abortion bill, and donald trump wants to be able to walk that line, and appeal to moderate voters and

swing voters. is he right about that? >> well, he's certainly right if he's concerned about taking a hard line right position on abortion getting in the way of general election voters. but keep in mind, also, you know, donald trump isn't really showing up face to face with anyone. he likes to do his own thing. he's talking about not going to the debates. he doesn't think he should have to be accountable to these sort of events and he didn't really participate in them in 2016. i think for the republican party when it comes to this issue of abortion rights for women, i think that the party loses on this issue, ultimately, for a lot of reasons. not the least of which is that they don't give women a lot of credit for being independent thinkers. it is a complex issue, and there are an awful lot of american women out there who might say, you know, i would not have an abortion. my faith does not allow me to consider an abortion. but i don't think the government should be getting between a woman and her family, a woman and her doctor.

a woman and her autonomy over her own body and what we're seeing unfold right now in iowa, and what we have seen unfold over the last several years now is a growing dependence amongst the republicans on the most right christian voters, and that's where a lot of this is coming from. you know, the party is becoming more and more dependent on voters that want to roll back rights for women, for lgbtq community. they want to suppress voting rights where they can get away with it, free speech with the book banning. this is all part of the new platform, i guess, of the republican party. >> so you wrote a pretty fantastic article entitled "it's abortion, stupid," a throw back to the old economy line. this issue is not just potent the year after dobbs, but maybe

more potent than ever? >> i'm not surprising. i think this is a really important issue to a lot of people. as you said at the top. we have a record number of voters who care about this when they're choosing who to pick in an election. this is a record high priority for voters. i'm not surprised, and you're already hearing democrats in iowa specifically saying, okay, voters, you're going to be hearing about republicans banning abortion for the next year until the election. i think this is going to be a huge thing, and democrats know that they have public opinion on their side, both in iowa, where 61% of voters support abortion access in all or most cases, and in the united states, most americans support abortion access. i just think republicans are not on the winning side of this in terms of public opinion, and this is not going away. >> yeah, and i guess the question is how each side plans

to sustain that sort of enthusiasm. it's a weird word to use when you're talking tabt this, but getting people to the polls. i wonder when you spoke to both sides, what are they talking about in terms of their messaging, and is it going to be more down the middle? >> yeah, i think it's going to be really interesting to see how is actually plays out because what they're saying now, i mean, i talked to kellyanne conway who is working with republicans on abortion messaging for 2024. and her message is we shouldn't focus on bans. we should focus on the extremes the democrats support. tell voters to ask democrats where should the limit be on abortion? because most americans also don't support abortion later in pregnancy, right. there's a 15, 20 week sweet spot it seems in public opinion. republicans will probably try to talk about that at least in purple states, but, you know, in

iowa, in georgia, in florida, in something like 13 states, they've passed really, really strict bans on abortion. so they can't really -- they don't really have a leg to stand in terms of wanting to find compromise on this, right, wanting to reach a 15, 20 week compromise. i think that's how republicans will approach it. democrats are going to be talking about bans like this in iowa. this is extremely strict. exceptions for rape and incest are time limited. 45 days from -- you have to report your rape within 45 days if you want an abortion for that rape. i think that that's really interesting and we're seeing limited exceptions all over, and democrats will surely take advantage of that. >> dasha burns, elaine godfrey,

was come. frank capra, in 1958, on this network, on nbc, on a show called "the unchained goddess," this will be happening if we keep emitting carbon dioxide unchecked. we never made the decision. it's like having an unpaid bill. if you don't pay your wi-fi bill, and then you see the bill on the table the next day, and you're like, oh, yeah, i got to do that. just magnify that by 40 years, and then here we are because as of 1979, president carter, serious president, he asked his scientists, the national academy of scientists, is this going to happen. they met for a week on cape cod, a nice place to research, and they said if carbon dioxide continues to increase, we have no reason to doubt climate will change as a result, and no reason to believe those changes are negligible. >> they're not negligible.

we're seeing it, feeling, there are people who have said we needed to feel it, but how did a small group of people, and you talk about a group of 25. there was a quote in there about just 25 people who really kept the climate denial industry alive. >> it's a tremendous negative human achievement, but it shows what one person or 25 people can do. they're telling us what we want to hear. >> because we don't want to turn down our thermostats, we want to drive the big cars. >> all of us, whenever there were polls taken, we kind of understood. we said, it doesn't even matter. let's say india and china, they have large populations, they burn coal, so an excuse that fossil fuel is, it doesn't matter what we do because they're going to pollute anyway, and when gallop would run by americans, they would say, we still are willing to sacrifice, so we've been, media reported it great, and voters have always been on the right side of this

issue. it's an immense negative achievement on the part of the deniers, which is part of what made them so much fun to write about in the book. >> you have fun writing about something very serious. you write in detail about the first climate scientist. they were literally booed off a public stage by deniers, and i want to play a little something from republican congresswoman lauren boebert who thinks that this is pretty funny. take a listen. >> i will go on the record with you all tonight and say that i absolutely believe in climate change, it happens four times every year. >> climate change happens four times every year. i mean, it's funny in a not funny way. >> can i speak to that? to me there were immensely talented people whose job it was to get that opinion into lauren boebert's mouth. we all try to change people's opinions of events. we all do it freelance in our families and at our jobs. we want them to share our opinion of ourselves, but there

are technicians who will do that on purpose. and in 2022, a republican strategist named frank lutz was working for the president. he said we have to stop talking about global warming, we have to say climate change. global warming sounds scary, climate change sound like going from ohio to fort lauderdale, we have to get people using that phrase, and of course congresswoman boebert using it there is the result of 20 years of really effective messaging. >> we are going to see whether or not what people are living in their daily lives will change the way things go.

all across the country, the extreme weather is causing headaches at airports, delays, cancellations piling up. now some airlines are turning to artificial intelligence to help them predict dangerous conditions and prevent scheduling chaos. nbc's tom costello is here to tell us more about this. we have been talking about a.i. in relation to so many things, but is it going to help my plane get where i want it to go on time? >> it could, and it coul help you leave on time. it's about harvesting the data streaming in from across the country. siri, gale, satellites, planes in the air, humidity streaking down an office building, windshield wipers going off on your car, taking all of that data realtime, and find ago forecast, to pinpoint the zip code and the runway, and the exact time weather will hit. it allows airlines to cut delays

and cancellations. >> the challenge for the nation's airlines, navigating a summer of weather extremes, record heat, rain, tornadoes, lightning, and historic flooding. in st. pete clear water, four people were injured after an allegiant air flight hit turbulence. . >> we have several head injuries and one ankle. >> reporter: now micro forecasting to the zip code to help airlines predict delays, and could predict the severe injury-causing turbulence we have seen in recent years. >> 431 laguardia has been caught in a ground stop. >> reporter: the a.i. program is called gale. >> is my flight going to leave on time from laguardia airport this afternoon? >> reporter: the company is tomorrow io. >> overseeing the suspected weather forecast for the flight at that exact time over the course of the day. >> reporter: gale uses satellites and thousands of other data points, sensors on

planes, drones hovering over a zip cold, and connected cars showing windshield wipers have activated. jet blue relies on it, investing in the program. using gale to shift its operations around extreme weather, down to a specific runway. even the exact time to start de-icing planes during the winter. in a business where time is money. jet blue says this micro forecasting is already saving them, $300,000 every month. $3.7 billion in a year. >> the rate in which we have cancelled flights, the rate in which we have delayed flights associated with weather has improved remarkably, just in one year's time frame. >> reporter: driving the climate change. >> we are facing the greatest challenge our nation going to see. >> reporter: a climate tool to help airlines micro prepare for the extremes. so jet blue insists it's not getting rid of its meteorologists, it's giving them more data and tools to be more
