. >> congresswoman maxine waters on the failed leadership of mitt romney. >> we are still fired up. we are still ready to go. >> romney has citizens united. the president has a big endorsement from labor. tonight, my exclusive interview with teamsters president. >>> the democrats are ready to pick a winner in wisconsin. new details on the big money and the big stakes in the walker recall. the nation's john nickels is here with a primary night preview. >>> good to have you with us tonight. thanks for watching. mitt romney continues to prove himself incapable of leading the republican party and this country. today he held another famous town hall event. >> all this stuff in the last couple of weeks about the president claiming credit for killing bin laden. it strikes me a little weird. that's like giving ronald mcdonald credit for the big mac you had for lunch. everybody knows it's really the guy at the grill that deserves credit, right. not the pitch man on tv. >> comparing the bin laden raid to fast food was the beginning. next he attacked president obama for going on vacation and t

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

i'm joined by congresswoman maxine waters of california. congresswoman, great to have you with us tonight. >> delighted to be here. >> you bet. thank you. what did we learn about mitt romney today? and what did we learn about the republicans' campaign? your thoughts. >> you nailed him again. he's been consistent in lack of being grounded in anything. what does this man believe? what will he stand up for? what is his leadership all about? i think he demonstrated again today that he's willing to do anything, say anything, put his finger in the air and see which way the wind is blowing. no, he did not stand up today to say that this president should not be brought up for treason because he wanted to see which way it would play politically. so, after the fact, when he was off the cameras, he basically was asked and he said, no. well, why didn't he say that when the woman said this right in front of everybody? it's because he's not grounded. we don't know who he is. we don't know what he cares about. this man cannot be trusted. he flip-flops on

california who has now joined us and all of you know congresswoman maxine waters. i also want to recognize terry sewell, representative out of alabama. terry joined us as well. and to draw your attention to the congressional black caucus voter empowerment program which all of you, i don't know if you have, but if you don't, please make sure you take this when you leave. this is all a part of our call to action this afternoon. the next question, just see if you can help me understand and articulate for the audience the message that we are hearing. what is the message we are hearing today with this resurgence of voter suppression and what message is being communicated to our communities and how can we counteract the message being sent by the passage of these laws? anybody? it is open. it is open to any person on the panel. go ahead, congresswoman. >> i just ask if she would give me a little breathing room. i just came in. let me take this opportunity to thank all of our clergy, our ministers, our pastors here in washington, d.c., at this conference and the fact that

and we're going to begin this panel even though congressman maxine waters is not here yet and she should be here shortly. we're expecting her to join us and you met our doctor and vice president of the cbc earlier donna christianson from the virgin islands. thank you all. it is my great pleasure to serve as moderator for today's final discussion. i am representative marsha fudge from high representing the 11th congressional district. thank you. i am honored to be here with you for many reasons. i serve as a cbc's for the people voting rights initiative co-chair with my friend and colleague representative john lewis. let's just take a walk down memory lane. the date was march 7, 1965. the place was selma, alabama. young people led the way. their goal was to achieve the uninhibited right to vote. hundreds of brave men, women and children marched, black and white, hand-in-hand. i can hear it now. many of them were probably singing, singing some of those old freedom songs like oh freedom, we shall not be moved, or we shall overcome. and then all at once the marchers were attacked by police w

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 country. it shows san francisco's history and that of human civilization shown through the eyes of labor. these are things that happened in san francisco's history. lynchings. again, coit tower, shows you the stock market dropping. something people weren't used to seeing. and a business many being held up. and in george washington high school, the farther of our country pointing the pioneers west as they walk over a dead indian. most of the art is not controversial. most of the artists celebrates local produce. this is one of the most extraordinary murals i have seen. at a tuberculosis cemetery. they also painted a mural in san francisco. finally, it's on the outside of the berkeley community theater.

. >> does your magazine "maxine" have an astrology section? >> "maxine" does, but" max i'm" it does not. >> that's the name of your journal. >> i was doing a day old joke which obviously doesn't work on television. bill, does your uncle joe often wear a clown costumes? or is there anything you want to talk about? >> my uncle joe says only in america. that's why he was voting for romney. >> you know, you made -- now that bill has gotten us into the next story about misspellings and apps and all of that stuff, and by the way, you asked a question, how does this happen? >> it is a very good question. i did some research while you were talking. there is no explanation as to how it happened so we are moving on to the next story. and by the way, romney hit the magical number of delegates he needed for getting the republican nomination. anybody care to tell me how many delegates that is? >> 1140? >> it is 1,144. >> that's right. >> what do i win? >> you win another guest appearance on "red eye." >> anthony, i am going to read you a quote and you tell

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

even maxine doesn't know. when i was chairman of the caucus, the best thing going for us was nixon rejection of us and we used to meet and have no agenda and the press would be outside and we wouldn't tell them what we were meeting. but every dayabout, but every day, we had a meeting. and they said here we were, ready to blow up the world, but the fact is, if they think we're together, and we act like we're together, if we leave here together, if we have no bad words for each other, i mean republican, we do what we have to do privately, but if we find out that the solidarity that we have, someone mentioned by jewish friends, i sat next to a guy in law school, he felt so proud that he wasn't jewish in terms of religion, but his ham sandwiches and all the laws he'd broken. but ten feet tall with solidarity. because he had something left in him that he believed in. it's not just martin luther king. there's a little bit in all of us and if we can take the things we have done frankly, richardson, the willingness of

million dollars of the fifty five million dollars that was promised to the task force representative maxine waters put forth an amendment to to up that to the fifty five million that was promised that was voted down in a voice vote so we're not actually even sure who voted no and who voted yes because it was not a recorded vote so the signs are not encouraging at least on the funding do you guys think in the nature of what this is which is supposed to execute the letter of the law and what was the largest financial crisis this country seen since the great depression mortgage backed securities a big question mark there about what kind of fraud or abuses went on do you think that should be subject to the politics of congressional appropriations and a vote on funding i mean. there's just no and why do you guys think that go ahead oh i was just going to say i mean i think that the congress for unfortunately there's a lot of allies of the banks in congress i think a lot of them have very perverse incentives to protect the banks at all costs whether that's because of campaign contributions or bec

companies that will be privatized now to discuss all this in more detail i'm not going by maxine chargingcalls head of. capital hello to you so can you explain the shop losses why is russia doing worse than the rest of europe. well it's. typical for also these days some in the russia is so cold but the markets meaning that you know both you with these multiply it in the case so if you look across europe or sanctions the stocks i don't own two percent in the eastern europe to which we're more related in the way don't more than that so roughly as often happens in the case we actually is doing crew in but they swear doing better on good days and i've had it's about growth that the u.s. and china they've all made noises about producing gripe is this in any way encouraging. of course yeah definitely it's encouraging because we know russia is a major export of nature resources and the coming growth of global economic growth especially in places like china is paramount for success of the russian story. and what about a private investor what should they be doing right now but should they be takin

i go back to people like gregory meeks and maxine waters and chris dodd and fannie and freddie, you takeel? >> what happened in 2009 as president obama brought in the team for the justice department, unfortunately it was extremely and remains extremely top heavy in white collar criminal defense attorneys of them do a huge amount of business with wall street. basically what president obama saying the team was going after their former clients. it creates a massive conflict of interest which is part of the reason why you have this lack of push to criminally prosecute crimes. >> sean: so nobody is being held accountable. the campaign donations got access and got solyndra. >> it was an eye-opener to me. what a justice will tell you, political considerations are kept entirely part from any consideration whether or not to bring a case on or an investigation, but it is not that the attorney general was unfamiliar with that stuff. eric holder, again surprised to find this out, was a bunk lar for obama and several other top people. it has the effect asking the question why if in fact this disaster

california who's joined us and all of you know maxine waters. [applause] i also want to recognize the representative from of alabama terrie has joined us as well. to draw your attention to the congressional black caucus program which all of you, i don't know if you have but if you don't please make sure you take this when you leave it is part of our call to action this afternoon. the next question, just see if you can help me understand and articulate for the audience the message that we are hearing. what is the message we are hearing to do with this resurgence of the voter suppression and what message is being communicated to our communities, and how can we counteract the message being sent by the passage of the law? >> this is open to any personal look panel. >> i just ask if she did give me a little breather room. let me take this opportunity to thank all but clergy and ministers and pastors that are here in washington, d.c. this conference and the fact that he wore taking time out from your schedule to talk about how you can use your power a

. >> the congressman cytoed the case of congresswoman maxine waters who's been under investigation foryears. are there no rules on things like this and how long they could drag on? >> they could drag on for years. that's part of the concern waters has. it's very critical for her. she's in line to become the top democrat on the financial services committee, a very powerful committee if the democrats win control of the house, she would become chair of the committee. if this investigation were to continue to drag on, it would be difficult for her to ascend to that spot potentially. her critics could use that against her. she think she's been allegedly targeted. back in 2008 she intervened on bank in which her husband served on the board and owned stock. she said she didn't do anything wrong and this investigation has been completely mishandled and there's an outside council investigating this investigation right now as well. so, look, these can drag on for a while and these are very uncomfortable for members of congress because they get dragged through the headlines. >> one last thing. sp

in the meantime, maxine says there were plenty of unintended consequences. >> in ohio, 30 cases wereismissed not because the abuser didn't abuse the partner but because they weren't married to the partne partner. >> they insist north carolina has rock-solid laws against domestic abuse. >> they have a wrath of frivolous objections because they are opposed to uniqueness of marriage. >> even some people who believe in the "uniqueness" of marriage thinks the amendment goes too far. photographer curtis brown travelled the state for the vote against campaign an found many conservatives were happy to join in. >> we had great photo shoots where people would comment and they're like i'm against gay marriage. i don't believe in it at all but i'm against this amendment. >> new poll out this morning found support for the amendment in north carolina among voters at 59%. 39% of people are opposed. turn-out will be key here. analysis of early voting trends found more democrats returned ballots than republicans. with the republican primary all but over, a big question looming tonight will the amendm

i mean, look at maxine waters. you are talking about the devils and the demons, the white demons.2. this is not 1998. so, you know, i don't know if they have this kind of contempt in their heart, but if they do, what a tragic life they live. >> here's the question i have. now they have the strategy session and they want to use race to divide the country. and the surrogates of the president, al sharpton, saying there's a war against black and a phony war against women and the class warfare going on and howard dean said republicans don't like latinos, i mean, how many more divisions can they make here? >> they feel they all come to a whole in the re-election. but the consultant, the trainer, you have to get in training session was race. the whole thing about training sessions about race they tell you how to think and how to talk about race and if you disagree with them, then you are a racist. >> do you think this will work, mike? >> no. i think people are fed up with this. you said it a moment ago, sean. this is a giant distraction. all of these distractions, as you said, hope they
