i'm joined by maxine waters and terry o'neill. great to have you with us.now, the republicans are playing this now that the democrats are anti-family and the democrats are not family-friendly. congresswoman, your response to this. is this going to be over tonight or is this conversation going to continue? >> well, the debate about women is going to continue. it is an issue in this campaign. the republicans and mitt romney have shown that they don't care about women's issues. they didn't try to do anything to make sure that women were protected in this budget and then they scared us to death because they talked about not caring whether or not we had contraception. do you realize that contraception has changed the lives of women. it has given us choices. we can chose to have children, not have them, have as many as we want and that gives us the opportunity to stay home, to work. and when they brought this issue up, many of us thought we'd never have to revisit an issue like this again, that those of us who fought in the women's movement have gotten this count

maxine was the first one we read her in school we knew of her. she was not out there like anny tan was when she wrote the joy luck club. so much of it is timing. it meant all the history and the voices before then had been silent. my generation of writers came in and we heard stories of women and men and the family of a different generation. a lot of us had been writing about that because they were silenced for so long. i am involved with the book prize. it's a pacific rim book prize in which books come from asia and all over the pacific rim. in the last 11 years it's been a prize we read so many books that have come from voices of new writers. i'm always amazed and they are writing different storers i wrote when i started. all the people have come through now. if you look at the list of indian and japanese authors and chinese authors it's now we are very much diverse. i think for a long time we weren't. i thank you for that question. if i keep going i will never get another question. [laughter]. >> thank you for samurai's garden. i read it had i

joining me tonight is congresswoman maxine water of california. what is your response to the chairman of the republican party saying there is no war on women? >> that statement that he made demonstrates their desperate fear about what is happening with this war on women that they started. everything that you said is you open this program and it's absolutely correct. >> is a war on women. there's been a lot of discussion about the ryan budget and what they have to do and it's more than that. it goes to many places in this budget, whether you're talking about child care, head start, food stamps, you will see that there is definitely a war on women. but let me just tell you this, ed. i remember what willy mandela said when we were fighting against the apartheid in south africa. she said, now that you have touched the women, you have struck a rock. this is what is happening in this campaign. the polls are showing that they are creating and now understand who the enemy is and why they can't get the kind up of support that women deserve. >> if they keep

this is maxine albroro. it's been destroyed and one of my favorites done by helen bruten. it's to remind us, while i was looking at these projects, they employed 42 percent women. it's very unusual in the art world. and then of course, in san francisco, benny lafono. we had the first and the last of the new deal. coit tower is the first. it is i think, one of the best in the cry

history left 32 victims, five from fairfax county, leslie sherman, maxine turner, mary reed, rima samaha and erin peterson. >> had a gregarious nature, a huge smile, 6' 1. her friends miss her hugs. >> reporter: the petersons will remember their own daughter at their church in centreville where a celebration of her life will take place sunday at 4:00, mount olive baptist. the petersons and one other family recently won a lawsuit against virginia tech which found the school failed to warn students. >> the outcome demonstrated what many of us felt, that there was, you know, bad decision making at the very top. >> reporter: the reeds will travel to tech monday to remember mary and all the victims. peggy fox, 9 news now. >>> on tuesday we are in for a rare sight here in our area, a space shut flying over the nation's capital on the back of a 747. it's how discovery will get to the smithsonian. >> i think the fact that all of the government agencies have approved a flyover is a real tribute to the importance of this space shuttle. >> nasa scouted out the route last week. it will never be more

my name is maxine. i'm representing a businesswoman -- i have been a business woman in san francisco for over 40 years. i am currently president of the national coalition of over 100 black women, the san francisco chapter. we have had a partnership with cpmc for seven years. we are joining them in the continued fight against breast cancer with their no cost african-american breast health program. so that uninsured african- american women continue to receive no cost screening and treatment for breast cancer. cpmc is the annual sponsor of our luncheon that recognizes and encourages outstanding women in business, literary, community work. in 2012, our major agenda will be to work with cpmc to bring men and women from our community to cpmc for better health and access to better health care. cpmc's project is important for the future of health in san francisco. the new proposed hospital would provide access for all set for assistance, regardless of income levels. we support a new health care facility that wi

and that drew a fiery reaction last night on "the ed show" from maxine waters. she spoke with ed. take a listen. >> there is a war on women. there's been a lot of discussion about the ryan budget and what they have tried to do to deny contraception to women, but it's more than that. it goes to many places in this budget, whether you're talking about child care or head start or food stamps, you will see that there's definitely a war on women, but let me just tell you this, ed, i remember when winnie mandela said when we were fighting against the inconsciousable apartheid in south africa, she said, now that you have touched the women, you have struck a rock and this is what is happening in this campaign. the polls are showing that women are coming to the forefront, that they're speaking up, that they're creating a platform. they now understand who the enemy is, and why they can't get the kind of support that women deserve in all of these areas. >> each night veteran talk host ed schultz and his guests debate the most important issues affecting american. watch "the ed show" weeknight

. >> congresswoman maxine waters of california, thank you for joining me tonight. appreciate it. now let's turn to caroline, professor of politics at occidental college. this is a rather unique problem. i don't think we've ever seen this in modern day american politics where there is such a gender gap. can it be fixed? >> i don't think it can can be fixed. i think what we're looking at it something larger than 1992, the year of the women after anita hill. i don't think republicans intend to have a war on women but the policies constitute a war on women and it's something they can't avoid because they treat women like second class citizens, you brought up abortion and contraception and representative waters brought up the ryan plans that cut services to women, pregnant women and low-income women. i would add to that their opposition to the violence against women act and the attempts to redefine rape so rape is not considered rape. it's undeniable that it's a war but it's one that they can't get out of because they are republican party policies. >> it sounds like the only way to ge

when we come back, maxine fans rejoiced.is always great to have young people. >> and call you admit that man cain was worth the money? >>gary: and the real world no one is worth 127 million that he has had to fabulous starts. i never said he was not worth the money. he is a terrific pitcher. if you're going to spend that kind of money, he is the one disbanded on. >> of e.d. and should not be allowed to manage. >>gary: that is a big mistake. >> when i first heard this i thought, if you ask me about television listen to what i have to say. cts me about politics, i'm just blowing. same thing is that athletes are managers. if they're not talking about their specific store, who cares what they say? some of the people were touched in a negative manner, they knew people who had been tortured by castro, etc.. all i can say is he better when. >> i saw you in your family at giants opening day. it's xi >> year from an interview was great. you combine good information with fun. >>gary: if the guy is dead, you have to go a long way to bl

, mary reed from unanimous dale high school and leslie sherman from west springfield high school, maxine turner from vienna and daniel kueva from woodbridge. our bruce leshan is live with how their families are living with the pain of loss. >> erin peterson's mom says losing a child is a bit like a really, really bad physical injury. it starts to heal and then a day like today comes along and the wound is broken open again. celeste peterson says the silence still troubles her. silence in the centreville home once filled with the joy and laughter of her daughter erin. >> when we lost erin, our world was crushed. >> reporter: erin had gone to the same high school as the tormented student who chained the doors at virginia tech's norris hall and opened fire, but while seung-hui cho was descending into madness, erin was celebrating her freshman life at virginia tech and dreaming her international studies degree would give her a chance to make the world a better place. >> her gregarious nature, huge smile, 6' 1. her friends tell me how they miss her hugs. >> reporter: mary reed dreamed of maki

and the reason why that section came about was because people like congresswoman maxine waters, congressman john conyers said you've got to do something about police abuse in the los angeles police department because that, the rodney jaynes incident tipped off an investigation of police practices, and they discovered that the federal government did not have enough authority. so in 1994, that provision that billy is talking about would not have become law had not members of congress said, we've got to give the federal authority -- federal government more authority. it has given this attorney general the ability to investigate those departments but and i think we owe a lot of credit to maxine waters for that particular provision. but also, black students are being pushed out of school. so before they even get into the criminal justice system, they are being affected by suspensions and expulsions at a much higher rate. and i'll just give you these statistics. and these are presented released statistics from the department of education. although blacks to pick up on 80% of those enrolled in the

i think we owe a lot of credit to maxine waters for that particular provision.o, black students are being pushed out of school. before they even get into the criminal justice system, they are being affected by suspensions and expulsions at a much higher rate. i would just give you the statistics. these are recently released statistics from the department of education. although black students make up only 18% of those enrolled in the school samples, they account for 35 percent of those suspended. 46 of those suspended more than once, and 39% of all expulsions, according to the data collection in the statistics from 72,000 schools 7000 school districts. one in five black boys and one in 10 black girls received and out of school suspension. overall, black students for 3.5 times more likely to be suspended or expelled and their white peers. what happens is the school systems are now calling the police department on issues that they used to resolve with the parents. so we are introducing our students and their children to the criminal justice system earlier. this cal
