o'donnell and anthony mason and norah o'donnell. there's news to report. i met charlie for tea last night because it's so civilized. i don't drink and he wasn't drinking. he was wearing my favorite color yellow and looking very good. he's coming back soon. >> tea, i like that. >> i like tea too. hear's where we are. another classified situation is shaking up. thousands of documents revealing the agency's hacking secrets. witnesses said it published a code that would lehtonen get inside. >> one document reveals how audio is recorded through a tv microphone. another shows how the agency can disguise attacks so they look like they come from a different country. wikileaks says the files came from a current or former u.s. government contractor or
8:03 am
the cia will not confirm if the files are authentic. congressional chit tees will begin debating the republican proposal to replace the affordable care act. it's already causing division. many say it's too similar to obamacare. >> one part of the proposal would cut any funding for any organization provides abortions. that includes abortions for rape, incest, or if the mother's life is in danger. it would essentially defund planned parenthood if it continues providing abortion services. planned parenthood president and ceo cecile richards joins us now. hi, cecile. >> hi, norah. >> planned parenthood receives $500 million. how is it reitch bersed? >> we're not in the federal
8:04 am
health care providers and what we get reimbursed for is not abortion because it's not allowed under the federal government but we're reimbursed for blest cancer, screenings, birth control. millions come to us every single year. essentially what congress says women in america, one in a million can no longer come. >> who would be affected. >> mainly women who rely on our care. here's one of the things that's important to know. we're really proud of the progress we've made as women, especially here on international women's day. we're adding a historic all-time low for pregnancy in the united states. planned parenthood is very proud of that work and we feel like it's time to actually invest in that and to more of it rather than cut off the largest national -- >> what do you
8:05 am
drop? >> better access to family planning and sex education. one of the things we fought for so hard, any woman that's insured, 55 million now have access to no cost birth control. that means they're getting better access, able to plan their families. it's good for the american economy and the american women. >> so many think when you think of planned parenthood you think of abortion and yet as you point out only 3% of it involves abortion. do you ever think we should let the abortion part of our losing all of this money? >> i guess that's what the president said. we feel it's really important, gayle, that 2.5 million women come to us every year for health care services. they depend on high quality family planning. for many women we're their only doctor and we also provide access to safe and legal abortion and we simply won't
8:06 am
women. >> if you lose this money, what will you do? >> we'll be around. we've been around 100 years. we'll be aurjds 100 more. i think what really happens is what happens with these women. they refer to us. so a woman -- i was just in michigan. a woman who has a breast lump or needs birth control and can't get in to her community health center for a month or two months they refer her to planned parenthood because we can see her that day. women can't go without this care. >> some people have described it or called it a war on women. do you see it a that way? >> it's definitely a war on health care. we get reimbursed, yet we're the only organization that's been singled out by the congress. we're the only national health care provider and we're extremely popular. we have reported more than 70%. we're a lot more popular than congress. i wish they would think about this and think about t f
8:07 am
that women in this country need high quality affordable care and that's across the board. >> just to revisit that point again, you don't get a check for 500 million dollar from the federal government. you're not in the budget. >> that's correct. >> these are medicate reimbursements for people on medicate who are poor and go and receive services, not abortion. but to that point, are there other hospitals that provide similar services who would also under this new trump rule also stop receiving funding for this care? >> it's a really good point, norah, because we do operate like hospitals. >> i mean this is the principal of the trump administration. shouldn't they denied all medicate reimbursements to hospitals and others who happen to provide abortions as well? >> i think we'll see what they say. what we believe is women should have access to all of their health care, whether it's planned parenthood or community health centers. one thing i think
8:08 am
important to recognize is -- our health centers are underserved. i was in paul ryan's district. we have three health centers there. in racine there are no other health care centers. women i met are patients. >> how many women are treated at that facility or go there? >> thousands. >> are you having any conversation with the administration or gop leaders? is there a dialogue? >> we have definitely communicated repeatedly and will talk with anyone about the important care we provide. ant most importantly the need that women in this country continue to have are high quality affordable care. >> in public opinion, 62% do not want cuts. >> that's exactly right. >> we appreciate you cominging, cecile. thank you very much. >> thank you for having me. new research shows why teenagers are wired to reacted

characters were going to be like. >> i love the character because the dedication is jalen and the lead character's name is jalen, which you have a jalen in your life already, derek. tell us about it. >> i do. i have a young nephew. time is flying by. tim in some of his previous books named some of the characters after his children. >> you don't have children yet. >> i knew you were going to bring that up. >> i'm very excite thad you and hannah are having a baby, but i'll wait until the end of the segment to discuss. >> and the girl character in the book is going to be -- just kidding. >> because you're having a -- >> so what message did you want to get 'croacross from the book kids? >> it's a story about perseverance, kindness and loyalty and friendship. so there's all these kinds of visceral things in
8:34 am
know, it's going to sink in. but the important thing for us is to entertain kids. so short chapters, lots of action. and then we take them into the world of the new york yankees. and so that's -- you know, derek's insight into that, we really for readers, we pulled back the curtain on that experience. >> you know what's interested. i have children and some of the books they're reading deal with complex social issues and this book does as well. jalen's immigrant father working long hours, working to make ends meet and at one point jalen is taunted and bullied. he was called mutt. why is that? >> he's a biracial child. >> what we tried to do is incorporate lessons through my parents, obviously my sister and i. we try to incorporate that into
8:35 am
the jeter children books. we try to do that with diverse characters and interesting stories. these are issues that kids are facing nowadays. it's front and center. you really can't shy away from it. >> and bullying. >> it makes me wonder if you were buddied, derek, or tim? >> i think everyone is bullied. honestly i think a lot of people bully themselves in a small way. you know, the thing about books is when kids read, they get smarter. they perform better in school. but most importantly, when kids read, they get a little kinder because they put themselves in someone else's shoes. so that's why i think it's important that our characters are a little different. >> but you have a baseball star who's in book and dart jeter and i wonder who wrote this parks. you're a baseball genius and derek jeter's
8:36 am
were warm. >> i told you i was bullied. i tried to stay out of it. >> but there's also lessons about the character saying i don't like to go to the park without a bat this my hand and i wondered if that applied to you, if you feel that. >> no. not at all. we talk -- wee speak about bullying and it's something we tackled in my foundation because it's a serious topic nowadays and what kids have to deal with. cyber bullying. >> it's a whole different ball game. >> when i was younger. it's important issues. like i say, we try to have the characters and tackle these issues in all of our children's books but tim did a tremendous job with history and story writing and story telling. >> 35 books you've done now. >> 35. when take got on it, said, listen, all the baseball, it's you. >> there's a 35-year-old baseball player kind of at the heart of story who's in a relationship with this boy who struggled to stay in the big
8:37 am
ejd of his life as you know it. but both of you have seemed to have made this transition out of sports. you've written 35 books and you're a lawyer. how hardtransition, would you say? >> i've said time and time again, it's hard to be unprepared. i started to figure my second life post baseball before i retired. >> and you're busy. >> i am busy and i'm going to get busier in a few months. very busy. but i prepared for it. >> are you as excited about the baby as i am? i'm so excited for you and hannah. >> gayle was the first one. >> i was so psyched and i said, gayle is a unisex name, do with that what you will, but the main girl character in the book, he name is kat, katarina. you'll like this, norah. a great talk show
8:38 am
sports agent. >> like i said, we're going to throw your name in there. >> okay. >> we left it out. >> are you sending a message there too? >> in all of these books i have written in the middle grade genre -- this is the 19th and derek and i have more to do, but i always have a good strong girl character. not only for girl readers but for boy readers so that they see, you know, what is derek's perception and my perception of a girl, and it's strong. >> you also have good lessons. at one point you say you don't usually get what you want but if you stop and enjoy the good things that you do have you won't notice what you have right in front of you which i think is a really good message to send to everybody. >> what the important thing is there's so much rich messages in the story, but it's got to be fun. we've got to keep those kids turn pages with the action, with
8:39 am
scenes. >> there's a reason why it's called baseball genius, isn't there. >> it's a good read. >> congratulations. it's really great to have you here. >> thank you, guys. >> and tim green. congratulations. baseball genius is on sale now. and look out for fair ball. the fourth book in jeter's best selling, t"the contract series." goes on sale april 13th. diane von furstenberg with the women that inspired her. she's in studio 57 to share how she celebrates women making a difference and the causes they're fighting for. >> there she is. >>

8:46 am
>> yes. on dvfawards.com. you can watch about it and read about it and vote. >> but gayle and i have been part of these awards before, and i think that's amazing is the women you choose to highlight. they're leaders in science and anti-bullying. >> yeah. they're not many dvfs. you like to have a wild variety. >> the people's award, one is about civic and one is about human trafficking and violence and domestic violence. so that is all these issues. i mean what is amazing is that i -- the more i go and the more i'm impressed by women, you know. it's about women who have the strength to fight, the courage to survive, and then the leadership to inspire. >> talk about an inspiration beyond diane. what do you
