amazing. >> senator gillibrand, isn't that really the problem? all the emotion, despite the public opinion polls, not a lot is about to be accomplished here. >> i disagree. i think moving forward on this debate is so important because we have republicans who say this is important for the country. and we have gun reform legislation that is bipartisan already. we have a background check bill that is not bipartisan. we have an anti-straw purchaser bill that i helped to write that is bipartisan. we have a lot of bipartisan support on mental health investment. i think we have a very good start on beginning to crack down on gun crime. and the bottom line is, the families of newtown, the families all across america who lose children every single day to gun violence deserve a vote, they deserve an answer. they deserve leadership out of washington. that is what is happening. >> it appears they'll get that, senator lee. do you think what is called manchin/toomey here in washington, which is an expanded background check bill, will it pass the senate? >> it

the other statewide race, november 2012, was the senate seat held by kirsten gillibrand. beat her challenger by a 45-point margin. the political picture in new york state was overwhelmingly democratic. just solidly blue in terms of the 2012 election, but new york is a big state. a largely rural state and a more idea logical state that it sometimes gets credit for. one of the manifestations of new york's unheralded diversity is that even though the state is so blue it looked cold, when it comes to voting for state ledge islators, it's not like that. the senate has only been in democratic control three times since world war two. but on election night november 2012, where president obama beat mitt romney by a 27-point margin under the leadership of a democratic government with the highest approval ratings of any state in the country, on that night in november where kirsten gillibrand embarrassed her opponent, was going to come crumbling down and finally become blue as well. the democrats looked like they won the senate in november 2012. democrats in november won 33 seats. re

senator christian gillibrand explained to andrea mitchell how the idea for the dinner came about. >> i said, you know, now that you're starting your new term if you want to create a bipartisan agenda, a great place to start is with the women senators. we meet regularly and have a dinner every quarter. oftentimes the women reach across party lines and reach consensus. he said that is a great idea. >> you want to know what they ate, right? they had alaskan halibut and a bit of peach pie. >>> as always, why are you awake? shoot us an e-mail or tweet us. we'll read the best responses later in the show. >>> still ahead on "way too early," the college football playoff is only a year and a half away. that means they have a lot of time to come up with a jazzy name. what they came up with is not too jazzy. >>> and steve colbert's view on chris christie's tv viewing habits. we'll have that story and a check on weather when "way too early" comes right back. >> one of the most agonizing moments in american military history, they were 200 miles from the hostages but they couldn't go on. not all o

day we released our state of black america report and i was over on capitol hill with general for gillibrandngressman fattah and fudge as well as members earlier in the day and in the middle of the day and we were introducing a new urban jobs act. we were introducing an act and the best example for reaching out would be for rand paul to put his name on those two bills and to be serious about those things that he suggested today at howard university. so this year's state of black america report, reverend, was very important because in the context of this recovery, somewhat of a difficult recovery for many, people in our community, it's also important that we took that 50-year retrospect. and people have been looking at how far we have come since 1963. our state of black america report reequiflects a reduction black poverty, increase in education, college enrollment rates and still a great disparity when it comes to jobs, wealth, and income in the case of the supreme court and attacks on the affirmative action. >> and what was compelling about the report that you released today, it shows great

and we've been joined in that bipartisan efforts by senators durbin and gillibrand and clirk and klobuchar and -- kirk and klobuchar and franken, blumenthal, shaheen and kaine. our law is helping to give more bipartisan tools. our judiciary committee vote by the stop illegal trafficking in firearms, s. 54. and provisions are included in the safe community schools act, s. 649 that majority leader reid placed on the senate calendar and which he's now moved to proceed. straw purchasers get around the purpose of the background check system. straw purchasing of firearms is then taken -- undertaken for just one reason, to get -- to have somebody who can legally buy a gun but to get those hands into the hands of somebody who's legally prohibited from having one. we know that many guns used in criminal activities are acquired through straw purchases. it was a straw purchaser who enabled the brutal murders of two brave firefighters in webster, new york, this past christmas eve. it was a straw purchaser who provided firearms to an individual who murdered a police officer in plymouth township, pennsy

for example, senator gillibrand has taken on abuse in the military.for more funding in syria and more intervention in syria. so those are some of the other topic that might get discussed. this is a part of dinner that already scheduled for these women. they decided to have it at the white house at the president's invitation. >> should be fascinating. kristen welker, as ever, thank you, kristen. with unitedhealthcare, i get information that matters... my individual health profile. not random statistics. they even reward me for addressing my health risks. so i'm doing fine... but she's still going to give me a heart attack. we're more than 78,000 people looking out for more than 70 million americans. that's health in numbers. unitedhealthcare. as well as they could because they don't take it with food. switch to citracal maximum plus d. it's the only calcium supplement that can be taken with or without food. my doctor recommends citracal maximum. it's all about absorption. a body at rest tends to stay at rest... while a body in motion tends to stay in m

and senator gillibrand, 16 cents goes back to the farmers, and you get 1.71 back into the economy for every dollar entwhistle and. >> that's the traditional argument, that you spend government money and somehow it multiplies. there is no economic evidence of that. what we're talking about here is a program that is a nutrition program. that's what was spine designed to do, to provide supplemental nutrition to people having a hard time make ends meet. as you saw in the clip, you see a lot of politicians who are trying to turn this into some kind of economic program or jobs program. that's not what this is about. it's about meeting the basic nutritional needs of people. >> sean: what peter is saying, to use the term food stamps, big business, an industry goes from wall street to madison avenue. $75 billion he's talking about. you disagree with that, 'cause you're generally conservative. but? >> here is where we don't see eye to eye on this, which is this notion that the food companies and i represent the nonalcoholic beverage industry, coke, dr. pepper. >> sean: that's a shame. i'm sorry

their vote is just as powerful as chuck schumers or gillibrand's or anyone in connecticut. >> and no surprise that pat toomey is seen as a possible switch vote that may come over to the pro gun control side because he's got to be re-elected in pennsylvania which goes for presidents routinely. we're going to almost go to two countries. one that is just the wild, wild west. i don't know what principle the republicans are fighting for. the idea that you should be able to arm up with a militant? they are talking about being able to fight the government. do they honestly think that the founders of this country want to create a country in which they can take down the government that they are fighting? >> they want to fight the government to keep their guns. to keep their guns. it's a cyclical argument. therefore i have to have the guns to fight the government t is crazy but it's part of the paranoid history of our country. thank you, david corn. the president was wonderful tonight. he was soulful. joy-ann reid, thank you so much. >>> coming up next, there's immigration and the budget, of c

turning around and supporting riders for and we were very heartened to see senator jon tester senator gillibrand, boxer, blumenthal, a number of members of the senate come out opposed to the rider but frankly, they were left out of the process just as the american public was. we find that to be an abomination. >> john: who holds the majority of the responsibility for this legislation being slipped in and how do we hold them accountable? >> well, the american people have called on senator mikulski as the new chairwoman of the appropriations committee to essentially right her wrong and makes sure that this rider never sees the light of day past the six-month cr. it appears this is, in many ways, the last iteration of senator inouye's chairmanship and we hope that senator mikulski will have a stronger record on this issue. >> john: let me ask you the million dollar question, why do you think we hear so much protest about this through social media and not through the corporate news media heavily funded by advertising from the food industry? >> look, consumers have the right to know but are absent la

so new york city christian gillibrand wrote a fund raising letter trying to go after him.tacks work, or will it backfire? and people say look, everyone makes mistakes, he found this woman he loves and is now with, and let's move on. >> fundamentally, special elections are like crazytown. republicans get elected in hawaii, democrats get elected in the deep south. dogs and cats live together in harmony, crazy things happen in special elections which is why the democrats are absolutely right to put their backs into t. here's the thing. even if they manage to pull off an upset in a district that voted 59% against barack obama in 2012, even if somehow they pulled that off, chances are she's not going to last very long in congress. another republican, another generic republican who is not like a sanford or not like sanford's opponent, very weak, is going to come along and win back the seat. so, again, democrats go for it, pour money into the race, fair enough. but the truth is -- the other thing about mark sanford, he left office very unpopular for lots of reasons, this being on

senator gillibrand says she suggested this to president obama. >> we have questions about whether theo produce something. he is doing something that many criticized the president for not doing enough of. the president is not arm twisting at these things fwut is more of what you might see from a second or third year president more of a get to know you session. >> the get to know you session is very important. reaching out to women particularly on the heels of the 2012 election season is important and it raises for the public awareness of the fact that what you hear a lot of women say behind closed doors. women have the ability to cross over party lines and get things done. i think from that standpoint alone this is a winner for the white house. >> of the 20 women senators 16 are democrats and 4 are republicans. are they going to be part of the larger budget deal conversation that happens if it happens. >> this is fisher's second dinner at the white house, of course. and that is the goal here. and collins is certainly somebody at the forefront of the deals. fisher is a freshman and hasn

>> i'm much more focused on the future as senator gillibrand and i just came back from jordan and turkeyet with the refugees. we met with the rebels. and i'm convinced that, first of all, the president knows that we can't do this alone. he's been good at reaching out to leaders. just met with king abdullah. we don't want to put bats on the ground. senator mccain made that very clear. we need to up our game. we need to up our game where the aid goes. too much of it is going to assad-controlled regions. that we have to make sure we're starting to do more with night goggles, armor, all kinds of things, and we have to keep these possibilities of senator mccain raised clearly on the front burner with the no-fly zone, with arming the rebels, but we cannot do this alone. it is an incredible scene what's happening in jordan. 2,500 refugees a day coming in. >> the interesting thing, mike murphy, as a political matter, this is something that will divide democrats. but republicans, too. and that's one of the things senator mccain has been speaking to. >> no, it's a complicated situation with a lot
