cathy griffin joins us. >> you've made it in one of the toughest industries, only to switch gears into the other toughest career from stand up. >> sit cops are also male dominated. i was just a guest star on kirstie alley, and 80% of the writing staff were men. and when i got into standup, it was even more sexist. stand up is completely male driven and completely sexist. and i'm going to be open about it. because as much as any comedian has her opinion, call your local comedy club, and ask them to read the lineup for this saturday night's show, and it's going to be 80% guys. >> is that females out this? >> two things. female comediennes are not out this. does it still a stigma tha not a good job for a female. one girlfriend said that her boyfriend says i'm not going to stand in the back and watch you. and then there's that stigma. and that's a lot deeper than the profession part of it. that's just the general politics issue of but as far as the numbers out there performing, you are still up against promotors, and i would say 95% of the promotors that i deal with, and that is everywhere

but more theme attic from cathy mcmorris rodgers. what did she have to say?> yeah, and it sort of struck me that the themes were sort of the same. you heard them reachinging out to to middle income americans. and also something that i thought that stood out from the official republican rebuttal from cathy mcmorris rodgers this year was that it was a warmer appeal to american families. she was sit on a couch. a lot of times you'll have the republican rebutting standing there. it almost created more of a living vibe in a way. but there was something in there, while president obama said in his state of the union, basically, i don't want to be dealing with your attempts to repeal obamaca anymore. he said there have been plenty of attempts at that. this mess such which is going to play large is something that cathy mcmorris rodgers certainly addressed. >> no, we shouldn't go back to the things -- to the wayhings were. but this law is not working. republicans believe health care choices should be yours, not the government's. >> so it wasn't exactly rancor, john. bu

-- cathy mcmorris rodgers and through the night, join the >> good evening. tonight president obama will fulfill one of his obligations as outlined in article two comments section three. the president gives to congress the state of the union. the white house has been working on and has gone through a number of drafts, including last-minute edits. there told his remarks before the joint session of congress will last about an hour. the theme is "opportunities for all." he will travel a short 16 blocks to capitol hill. , wescene inside the capital will set the stage as members of congress, the president's cabinet, and justices gather. of course, we want to hear from you as part of our state of the unit coverage with your calls, comments, and tweets. >what issues do want the president and congress to address this year? we have john lovett. he was a former speech writer for president barack obama. thank you for being with us. >> good to be here good as you put together -- good to be here. t> as you put together -- put i in the president's voice. when ie was a meet

would that be cathy?hink as you mentioned, congresswoman mcmore rogers delivering the official response. we don't believe there's one voice. that's why we believe we're a better party. we have a lot of different voices and big party with several different policy ideas and we have robust debates and come out with the best policies for families and businesses but i don't think you have to have everyone marching in lock step, as far as if you look at the other side of the aisle, they've all kind of coalesced behind the failed policies of the last six years and look where that's gotten us. >> let's talk about immigration. william crystal says pushing for reform this year is quote, one of the few things that could actually disrupt what looks like a strong republican year. he also went on to say immigration push would be a quote, recipe for disaster. kristol says you've been dealt a strong hand. how does it jeopardize that hand to push for reform that your own report concluded your party needs to do? >> first,

so did cathy mcmorris rogers for that matter. for that reason i thought the best line of the president's speech was in that riff about health care when he was encouraging people to sign up. he said call your mom, walk her through the application. plus, she'll enjoy hearing from you. that forced even john boehner to smile and stand up. >> finally, would you say on mcmorris-rogers' rebuttal is the best of the -- >> i thought she looked great. she looked comfortable and relacked. she spoke about values. she had a very appealing story as a new mother, talked about, you know, taking the animals to the four-h, the county fair as part of the 4-h and working at the mcdonald's drive-through. there wasn't much policy in the speech. >> i just want to go back as well to this mira that the president announced because it's kind of linking the two stories together. the state of the union and what the federal reserve is doing tomorrow, which is it's going to come out and probably say they're buying fewer treasuries. the american public now may h

. >> in the hot seat, police chief cathy lanier. her department is trying to do a better job of screening. >> i am working to implement a body camera system for police officers. >> she also told the council sometimes she had no choice. arbitrators make or keep bad cops on the streets over a technicality. >> i've been forced to rehire 28 terminated members. a disservice to the community that we are sworn to protect. >> the chief asked the council to consider some new legislative reforms that might curb the power of the arbitrators. >> thank you. keeping an eye on a lot of people in the district today, an unusual sight in northwest washington. check this out. eyes were glued to a snowy owl. the bird was sitting on a ledge outside the washington post building this afternoon. >> i had to make a u-turn and take a picture. very unusual. >> these birds usually live in the tundra of the arctic. what are they doing here? this extremely cold weather is causing the birds to fly further south. olympics uniforms are unveiled, and the state depar

cathy has been tapped to deliver the republican state of the union response. it seems convenient to have he ever deliver -- although she is a rising star in the party. i think it is ironic on the heels of this discussion that rand paul is also giving the rand paul to the state of the union and mike lee is giving the tea party response to the union. if you need anymore evidence that this party is fractured, look at the three different responses to the state of union. >> there have been conservatives who have come out and defended him aggressively. but the people i have talked to here say, that's not how we should be talking about this point. cathy is someone who is well liked and has strong ties with the republican establishment. she's one of the few high-profile women they have in office. the message that she's likely to deliver is probably going to differ significantly from lee and rand paul. you saw some of that fragmentation here at the meeting. they passed a resolution that condemns the surveillance programs. that's divided the party because establishment

we'll bring you cathy mcmorris as they turn out the lights. >> let me finish. we'll send it back to you. we are talking about - we have to look at the tape to be sure. there's a section where the president may have set up the republicans. the president was talking about women making up the workforce saying women deserved equal pay. half the chamber rose and half was on its hands. those are the visuals that do not help the republican party. >> sorry, i want to go to allen schauffler in seattle to tell us about the significance of this choice. >> big stage for cathy mcmorris rogers. she'll get a chance to say hello to the country, someone who the g.o.p. hierarchy believes has a political future on the national stage on the national spotlight. an important pick for the republican party, considering their effort to reach out and focus on women voters. she's starting a fifth term in office, the highest ranking republican woman, and served 10 years in the state legislature. she had three children whilst in offer. she and her husband and the three kids leave in the ea

congresswomante kathy mcmoran -- cathy mcmorris rodgers will deliver the republican response rate on friday, the internal revenue service will begin processing tax returns. it was changed from january 21 because of the government shutdown. the delay gives them time to program and test tax processing systems. they are encouraged to use e-files or free-files as the past -- the fastest way to receive refunds. the polar vortex is back for the first time this winter. >> a study finds that more d.c. residents have given up their cars. an annual report by the university of michigan says that as of 2000 12, nearly 40% of the sea households do not own a vehicle. that ranks washington behind only new york city for non-automobile households. baltimore, boston, philadelphia, and san francisco all rank high. more than 30% of people in those cities do not own vehicles. now is your chance to check out all kinds of cars, in case you needed one, in the 40%. without getting behind the wheel. the washington auto show is taking place at the convention center. it ends one week from tonight. vehiclesme of

if you have questions about the housing or cathy portions they're very similar so most of the mechanisms are pretty consistent throughout the entire dochlt. so the key sort of objective this ordinance does it - the goal is to get individuals with a criminal record through the process. we've seen unconscious bias if people have a prior conviction they'll have the weed out tools for the providers in the city. it's a goal to get the person through the goal process and get the employers to meet the person and then conduct a background criminal check. we've heard from the councilmember brooks that the vast majority don't do a background check it's comprehensive and i'll do it later on in the process when you that this is someone who wants to hire them with a cash function. so this ordinance requires employers to do a number of things remove the disclosure so they'll no longer be a check box of whether or not you have a criminal history on the materials your attorneys for. it also asks employer to delay a background check after a conditional offer of employment or a live interview. this was di

republicans put congresswoman cathy mcmorris-rodgers in front of the camera last night.e gender divide. 76% of women support raising the minimum wage. 68% of women support extending unemployment insurance for the long-term jobless. women had wanted the jobs bill to pass by a margin of three to one. what's more important, cutting the deficit or keeping social security or medicare benefits in tact? 75% of women chose the latter. the thing about women is they pay attention to the stuff that affects them. you have to support the policies they support. that's not just how women work. that's how politics works. >>> coming up, president obama did not spend a lot of time on foreign policy last night, but he did urge the country to shift away from a, quote, public war fo footing. >>> janet yellin will take the helm, being the first woman to head the fed. one of the most powerful financial positions on the planet. the committee decided to cut their bond buying program. that sent stocks into the red today. they cut it by another $10 million. the fed saying the economy is strong eno

council will discuss the recent arrests of police officers with police chief cathy lanier. samson is one of three arrested in one month. the hearing will focus on how officer applicants are screened and resources available to prevent alcohol and domestic violence. >> debate over same-sex marriage is headed to court. mark hearing called the commonwealth ban on same-sex marriage unconstitutional. he has advised a federal court his office will join for couples who are suing to strike down the ban. some republican lawmakers are outraged. >> an amazing rescue in prince george's county inc. to life saving technology. edith charles has been -- has dementia. she walked away from her daughter's car last night. within minutes she was lost in freezing cold temperatures. authorities tell us without an infrared camera on board a helicopter, this story would have had a much different in the. >> i was frantic. i thought i killed my mom. >> it is a great feeling. you know there are few chances you get to truly make a difference. white anding cold is everything black is warm. it made line -

cathy rogers to do the official, but we have mike lee doing a tea party rebuttal, and senator rand paul doing his own rebuttal. what does it say about the lack of leadership in the g.o.p. >> it says there's no leader of the g.o.p. it's not the former president bush or the nominee. it's not john mccain. there is no leader of the republican party. that is the problem. you have four or five different responses to the president's state of union because the together. >> rand paul is out there making a lot of noise in advance of the speech especially on the war on womenen. this is what he had to say. >> the media seems to have given president clinton a pass on this, someone that takes advantage of a young girl in their office, and have the gal to stand up and say republicans are having a war on womenen. >> one of those mistified as to why rand paul is going after bill clinton. anywhere? >> this is about rand paul, not the g.o.p. , which i do disagree with. there's one official response. hundreds of lawmakers enjoy responses, local, nationals. rand paul is provocative. that's why he brought up

i'm a big fan i'm a great fan of cathy mcmorris rodgers. >> she did a horrible job.rrible. >> i don't know anybody who does those well. it's hard to follow the president, right? >> it was not a good night for republicans to respond, because they looked like they were coming from all over the place, and you were quite right, anyone responding to the president of the united states and the unique position he has, speaking around all that pageantry and the house, you're right. but come on. >> well, look, i'm not defending the three voices out there. obviously, i didn't go out there and do it because i didn't think it was the appropriate thing to do, but it does demonstrate the frustration people have with how things are going in washington, d.c., overall, and in the republican party in particular. >> do you still plan to run for president? >> i'm very open to doing that. and i haven't made any decisions, won't make any decisions, but we're doing everything consistent with keeping my options open. >> senator, i really enjoy having you on. thank you very much, rick santoru

party leaders announced washington congresswoman cathy mcmorris rodgers, the highest ranking woman inponse to the state of the union. this year the gop wants the public face of the party to be a woman. they realize the party has an image problem. after all, in recent years republicans have tried to roll back abortion rights. they've attacked contraception, and they fought against equal pay. really? what else could they do to alienate women? let's check in with fox news host and former presidential candidate mike huckabee today at the rnc's winter meeting. >> the democrats want to insult the women of america by making them believe that they are helpless without uncle sugar coming in and providing for them a prescription each month for birth control because they cannot control their libido or their reproductive system without the help of the government, then so be it. let us take that discussion all across america, because women are far more than the democrats have played them to be. >> it's almost as if the gop is taking its talking points from rush limbaugh. well, they are. >> look at

but the official gop response is to be given by congresswoman cathy rodgers. mike lee and rand paul plan to videotape himself and put it on youtube so there's going to be no shortages of responses and they are going to talk about obamacare both in the sense that they are going to take aim at it and call it a failed policy, et cetera, but they also released their own version of healthcare reform so look to them to introduce their plan to the country to fix healthcare insurance in america. >> midterm elections in november so he is probably going to touch on that? >> reporter: absolutely. he will give some cover to people running for congress who are dealing with and sort of stuck with obamacare whether they voted for it or not. and also the nsa scandal he will make the case for the recent changes that he made with regard to spying at the highest levels. >> he has a few things to talk about. >> reporter: it's going to be long. >> thank you. we'll have special live coverage of the president's speech on air and online beginning at 6:00. >>> it's super bowl week. th

cathy mcmorris gave the official response. then the spanish language response, the tea party response and the rand paul response. i'm just going to call it rand paul response. that does not seem like a big time party. that seems like a party who doesn't know who in the heck is in charge, it seems leaderless. >> i think that's a pretty silly comment. i know it's your first day back. >> tell me why i'm silly. >> because there were probably 300 responses yesterday. every member of congress, when you say rand paul gave a response, i would imagine almost every senator gave some kind of response yesterday. i gave a response yesterday. you didn't put my name in there. i know that our studio where i'm talking to you was busy all day yesterday with different members and senators giving responses to the state of the union address. so, i mean, look, the tea party express running their website gave a response, and mike lee was gracious enough to give that response. my guess is that you have all kinds of groups on both sides of the aisle t

skepticism and we heard that during the republican response byight which was delivered representative cathy mcmorris rodgers. >> the president made more promises that sound good. but they won't actually solve the problems facing americans. too many people are falling further and further behind because right now, the president 's policies are making people's lives harder. republicans have plans to close the gap, plans that will focus on jobs first without more spending, government bailouts and red tape. >> they are the opposite side. the president will take his show on the road tomorrow, talking jobs in the first of four stops as he stresses his economic equality argument. >> thank you, scott. to the investigation into the deadly shooting at the mall in columbia. howard county police are focusing on computers and cell phones used by darion aguilar who shot and killed two people before taking his own life. police revealed that aguilar spent a lot of time at the mall in small groups. officers are taking a close look at the gunman's journal. detectives say it is clear that aguilar knew he was h

cathy clifford has more. >> militants roamed the damaged and deserted streets of falluja. the city has been outside of government control for days, held by the al qaeda linked state. local tribes are divided in their allegiances between the government and the militants. iraqity officials and the prime minister agreed to hold off a major offensive to give the sunni tribal leaders more time. on monday, he called on the people of falluja and its tribes to expel the terrorists so that the areas are not subjected to the dangers of armed clashes. meanwhile, tensions between the local sunni tribes have deepened. >> the revolutionary of falluja tribes have resolved to punish those that are linked to the sectarian government. also ordered not to strike residential areas. the message comes as dozens of families have fled the city. the group is much feared in the surrounding province. or 70% of the people do not support them. they are worried that if your organization gets stronger, it will control people's lives with extreme religious rules, even forbid people to smoke. >> iraqi tro

really appreciate sheriff mirkarimi for being here for the whole hearing and different staff, like cathy gold wood and others for really focusing on this and the community based and progressive organizations that are here. i have a lot of respect for the work that you do every day, from the work with critical resistance and other groups that form curb to in the community efforts that you are involved in. i'll just say off the top that i think the data, as supervisor campos said, should drive our decision making. but after visiting san bruno and the hall of justice, i absolutely agree that we need to rebuild the jail to make it more humane and to focus on the restorative justice type programs that the sheriff has led and as a progressive effort of criminal justice in our city. but i think it's not an either/or. we have to support the community based programs, focus on mental health, on drug treatment and other things that people have talked about. and i know that as the budget committee looks at our budget and as a master plan comes together on criminal justice, that my hope is that we do
