and gabrielle, thank you all for joining me.ght now about black film makers and cinema. some say this is a low moment. what do you think is going on? >> i think we're at a great place right now. given the accessibility of our audience which we did not have before. a large issue with getting films out is marketing. and you have to market your film. ten years ago, you could only market it through billboards, trailers, through posters. now you can literally get to anyone online. and that's huge. the social marketing thing is huge. we've used it for our film, facebook, twitter, the whole nine. and i think it is going to be a game changer and it already has been. >> why are you acting so crazy? >> we're getting revenge. >> revenge on who? >> terrorists. >> there are no terrorists here. who are you talking about? >> i'm talking about them. >> you honestly think you can come into my country and kill my people and get away with it? >> are you more interested in black film than before? >> i don't know that more people are interested than

gabriel was walking to his church to attend choir practice when a car drove past him.eone from the car shot him in the stomach. the pastor said that gabriel told him even through the >> jennifer: you know that every two minutes someone in the united states is sexual assaulted? the great majority of those attacks are on women. women like debra parker, who spoke before a group of congressional leaders about violence against women act. >> i am a survivor of sexual and physical violence. my story starts in the 70s as a toddler one of the many girls violated and attacked by a man who had no boundaries or regards for a little child's life, my life. >> jennifer: you might be wondering why debra went public with her very private story. she wanted everyone to know that native american women like herself had never been included in the violence against women act. but in december house republicans refused to renew the act in part because it did offer new protections to native american women on reservations. joining us tonight from seattle is debra parker. she's vice chair of the r

the story of gabrielle giffords is also really a direct response to newtown. she had decided with her husband mark kelly not to play this activist role until that event. she talked to her husband right afterwards and said "i think we have to get involved." mark kelly is already raising lots of money. they had a fund-raiser last week with dianne feinstein in san francisco. they have already a million dollar contribution to what they're hoping to be a $20 million pac, that's a pac that would match the money the n.r.a. spent in 2012 to do very similar things tomorrow provide backup for people who take test votes on guns and to go after people who aren't willing to take the tough votes so it does rescramble this long range fight going forward. it doesn't change the immediate calculus because, like joe said, the real issue here from the white house's perspective is that they have a republican party that's not willing to do anything they really want and so they have to keep putting pressure on republicans in the house from the outside to force change at some point.
