Matt. He could stand to have a few more persuasive allies. People like john ratcliffe. People who can actually make the case but threatening a witness and i will leave the accurately to others threatening a witness like that in a tweet you are not helping the person you are trying to help. You actually look guilty as hell when you do things like that. Im glad he took it down but he never should have put it up. Martha strong words from trey gowdy and congressman gaetz. First correspondent mike emanuel with the back story tonight. Mike . Martha, geengetion, first controversial tweet and then congressman matt gaetz continued his attack on the house floor. I guess tomorrow we will find out if there is anyone that Michael Cohen doesnt lie to. Does he lie to his own family . Does he lie to his financiers who are members of his family . The congressman did not stop there. The attack continued in an interview with fox. We have got to find out who Michael Cohen lies to and if there is anyone Michael Cohen tells the truth. To say he lied to the irs. He lied to three different banks. He lied to congress and now he is going to jail for lying. My objective is to figure whether or not he lied to the people closest to him and i think that says a lot about his veracity and character. Hours later nancy pelosi fired a warning shot on twitter warning i encourage all members to be mindful comments made on social media or in the press can adversely effect the ability of house committees to obtain the truthful and complete information necessary to fulfill their duties. Then late night gates apologized, speaker i want to get to the truth, too. While it is important to create context around the testimony of liars like Michael Cohen, it was not my intent to threaten as some believe i did. Im deleting the tweet and i should have chosen words that better show my intent. Im sorry. Gates face bipartisan criticism from fellow lawmakers. Its wrong and i think its disgusting. Im glad he apologized. You know, in addition to just being appalled, at what looks like a blatant effort to intimidate this witness. Despite the apology the very public attack could lead to more headaches for congressman gaetz. Martha . Mike, thank you very much. So joining me now exclusively to answer some of these questions is congressman matt gaetz. Congressman, thank you for being here tonight to face some of this criticism we thank you for coming. In so lets start county tweet itself. What was your motivation . What did you hope to accomplish by tweeting that about Michael Cohen and girlfriends and his wife and his fatherinlaw . Well, i think the clips you have showed from my statements on the floor and other interviews reflected the context but that doesnt excuse what i did that was wrong and thats invoking someones family. I want to say publicly what i have said privately to Michael Cohen and to his family that im sorry. If it is entirely appropriate to test the truthfulness of a witness but that could have been done in a way that didnt invoke someones family and i shouldnt have done it. What information did you have that caused you to write that tweet . Do you know something about him that other people obviously, he has had his credibility issues. There is no doubt about it. Why the girlfriend . Did you was that your idea or, you know, some people have even suggested that President Trump wanted to write all that stuff. Yeah, i mean, to get into all of that would be to continue to reference someones family and im not going to go there, martha. But you are right. That isaac of the atlantic reported i was on the phone outside the long worth Office Building talking to President Trump and someone did at that time overhear me say the words i was happy to do it for you. And you just keep killing it. The problem, martha is, i wasnt talking to donald trump. At 8 37 p. M. I got a phone call from Florida Governor ron desantis. We spoke for 13 minutes. He was calling to thank me not about Michael Cohen or pay off porn stars but because i had made a recommendation for him for someone to serve on the Orlando Airport board, a friend named orlando hunt. And Governor Desantis said well, i appreciate you doing that for me, hey, governor, i was happy to do that for you. You keep killing it whats crazy is even though Governor Desantis told the atlantic that he and i were on the phone that we had that discussion. They still havent issued a retraction or taken down their allegation and it continues to be repeated across the mainstream media. In the washington examiner, in the miami herald and, so, look, i made a mistake. Should not have invoked someones family. Im here to take responsibility and to say im sorry. When the media goes after President Trump, when they tell lies about me when he had repeat the lies that Jussie Smollett showed it really enrages a lot of the forgotten men and women in this country who are tired of the medias all out attacks i hope isaac in the atlantic will retract something that Governor Desantis was already told them was false. Martha have you proof that that phone call at that time was between you and Governor Desantis of florida. We would expect there should be he a rooction traction and we will see if you get it at any time did the president ever encourage you that he was out of the country and obviously the white house has said that they were very unhappy that that hearing happened . Simultaneously about the north korea meeting . Did i ever encourage to you mix it up a little bit on the Michael Cohen issue or to show up at the oversight hearing when you also tried to do . Absolutely not. I spoke to the president before he left for hanoi. We talked about completely unrelated matters and i never spoke to the president when he was in vietnam or the way back. Im not going to get in the business about talking to the media every time i chat with my friend the president or every time we discuss advice or an issue before the country, but i certainly could tell you that there is false reporting about me, there is no proof we live in a world now, martha, the media could report something that i was on the phone with the president. They can have no source, no witness, no identifiable person and in the echo chamber of the media they continue to report it despite the fact it is a lie. It did not happen. And we ought to have better journalistic integrity than that. Lets talk about the investigations because i know you took down out tweet. You apologized for it you spoke to Michael Cohen about it, correct . I did. What was that conversation like . Look, i felt that in addition to apologizing publicly for invoking Michael Cohens family that i needed to apologize to him personally. I reached out to him. I told him i was sorry. He sent back a very gracious message to me. And i am grateful that he accepted my apology in the spirit that it was intended. And a raucous political discourse and investigations we can disagree about substance. We can look for ways to expose inconsistent statements but we can do that without invoking family. Look, martha, the reason your network has me on a lot is because im one of the leading voices defending the president. This was an error on my part. My errors are not errors of omission. They are errors of commission. I do a little too much. And fight too hard. This time i crossed the line. I hope its a better sign of valor im willing to admit that. Martha you know, i think everybody can appreciate that. And i think its right that you reached out to Michael Cohen. Doesnt matter what i think about it. I think, you know, most people would say thats the right thing to do. What about the Florida Bar Association . They say that if the rules were violated because, obviously, you are well aware of the rules of witness intimidation and how it works in the law they say they will inif you tried threaten a witness. I have not heard from the florida bar if i do i will respond. Its a real problem for state bar associations to be secondguessing the legislative conduct of members of congress. When Kamala Harris was saying terrible things about Brett Kavanaugh both inside and outside the halls of congress, like, should the California Bar investigate her for conduct that brings disfavor or puts the profession of the practice of law in a bad light . They didnt do that they shouldnt do that and, so, look, i will deal with the florida bar if they send me a innovation. But, like just the fact that they are responding to allegations against me doesnt mean that there is any violation of the rules. Any person makes any allegation they are obligated to look into it. The House Ethics Committee is also considering looking into it as well. We appreciate you coming here and answering the questions here tonight, congressman gaetz. The House Ethics Committee has a bad record of going after the president s defenders. They open up an investigation into devin nunes. That turned out to be bogus investigation. They opened up an investigation into mark meadows that turned out to be something that wasnt his fault it seems as though the people who defend the president most vigorously do spend their time in the barrel of the ethics committee. I guess its my turn. Thank you very much. Congressman gaetz, good to see you tonight. Thank you, martha. Martha thank you, sir.

Martha fox news alert tonight the Washington Post, the outlet at the center of a defamation lawsuit that was filed by the family of Nicholas Sandmann that just young posted what is called an editors note in response to their coverage of that story. David spunt has the breaking details tonight from washington. David . Hey, martha, good evening the post has dropped this news within the last hour certainly starting to make the headlines here in washington and around the country. This was a big deal when it happened here in january. Nick sandmann a Kentucky High School catholic High School Student turns out he was taunted by a group called the black 1r5er89s. Israelites. He was vilified in the media for allegedly taunting a native american man you can see right there. The Washington Post reported extensively on this. Sandmans attorney announced they would actually sue the post for defamation for 250 million. But as you say the Washington Post, they have issued this editors note. They say, quote subsequent reporting, a student statement and additional video allow for a more complete assessment of what occurred either contradicting or failing to confirm accounts provided in that story. Now, we do know that the the Washington Post says including that native american activist Nathan Phillips was prevented by one student from moving on and that his group has been taunted by the students in the leadup to the encounter and that the students were trying to investigate a conflict. Now, that is coming from the Washington Post tonight. A rare editors note from them. We also have a response, martha, from sandmans attorney who says, quote too little, too late. The Washington Post doing this tonight. Well continue to follow this story, martha. Martha the lawyers are working overtime on this friday night trying to navigate that situation which is not going away any time soon it appears for the Washington Post. David, thank you very much. You bet. Martha coming up next tonight Speaker Pelosi with this very strong message for the president. Do the country a favor, dont run. Martha the debate over whether that is appropriate from the speaker of the house, next. Last years ad campaign was a success for choicehotels. Com badda book. Badda boom. This year, were taking it up a notch. So in this commercial we see two travelers at a comfort inn with a glow around them, so people watching will be like, wow, maybe ill glow too if i book direct at choicehotels. Com. Who glows . Just say, badda book. Badda boom. Nobody glows. He gets it. Always the lowest price, guaranteed. Book now at choicehotels. Com martha women who are democrats in the house of representatives getting the rock star treatment in a neurology stone interview including nancy pelosi, alexandria ocasiocortez, and others who have this message for President Trump. If i were talking to President Trump, i would remind him that you are my president as well. The people of the United States are looking for a leader that unites. If i had to Say Something to trump, i probably wouldnt say anything because i dont think that its worth the extra attention. Mr. President , do the country a favor, dont run. Martha here now Kayleigh Mcenany the national for 2020 campaign and richie for the house democrats, great people to have with us tonight. So, kayleigh, nannies is just scolding the president. She says do us all a favor do not run. Is there any chance of that happening . No. There is zero chance of that happening. I can tell you the president is excited for this campaign. Is he geared up. He is ready and im sure nancy pelosi does not want him to run because how can you argue against results, a soaring economy and wages growing at the fastest pace in 10 years. You cant argue against success. Thats a pretty prosecute pathetic message from nancy pelosi. She should spend less time palling around with a socialist and congresswoman with antisemitic remarks and more time working with the president. Martha michelle, is there anything thats inappropriate anymore these days . Is that a professional comment to say about the president of the United States . You know, just do everyone a favor and dont run . Well, look, i think she was very very sarcastic and this is something we are starting to see in our politics. Of the president is not innocent in some of the remarks that he has made about those on the left either. But what i will say about pelosi is that maybe she is thinking about the president shouldnt run considering that he is imploded the deficit. Its risen by 40 . He used the paychecks of our federal workers as a hostage because he didnt get his wall. So, yes, he has had some accomplishments but at the same time, he has had a lot of failures. I mean, he cuts millions of people off of healthcare alone for prescription drugs were supposed to go down under this president. That hasnt happened, instead he has given tax cuts to pharmaceutical companies. Man thats the reason she is saying he shouldnt run. Look what is happening with his base which isnt support him that much either, kayleigh. That is just incredibly untruthful all that you said. Its not . Not true . Cleaned up disaster under obamacare. Under this obama. Bying that he 50 million off of healthcare. Let me finish i let you finish and share your litany of falls hoods. So for the. Martha rochelle, let her finish we let you say everything you wanted to say. Exactly. He has expanded choice in the healthcare market. No doubt about that. Talk about his base . 93 support for this president far are higher than the support obama had. So you can you are entitled to your own opinion. You are not entitled to your own facts. Martha i want to play another piece of this. Of course they dont do these kind of like rock and roll tribute kind of pieces to your party, kayleigh, but they do them a lot for democrats. So lets play a little bit more of this kind of interesting. Watch. My advice for young women and, i think just all women is that we dont have to hem ourselves in. We dont have to make ourselves seem acceptable. Never wait for an invitation or ask permission to step into your power. Be fearless and unapologetic about being your best you. What you bring is very unique. Dont let anybody try to minimize the importance of what your experience is. Martha let me start with you on this one and what do you think about this message for women. I think we can be us, to be bold, to be unabashed. I agree with that with that being said, there is such an effort here to court the female vote but, again, you cant argue with the president historic low unemployment for females across this country and empowering them, ivanka, a champion for paid family leave. Empower females come over to the white house and work with ivanka and make that reality. Thats my message to nancy pelosi. Martha rochelle . I think its a great message. I think regardless where you fall on the left or right its a great message for all women. I think ivanka would support a message like that. Pelosi obviously supports a message like that. I dont think this is an issue where we need to make it a partisan thing about ivanka and come to the white house. Thats just ridiculous. Already. You wanted paid family leave. You have an option now. I havent heard your party coming to the table on that or infrastructure or anything else. Your president right now has imploded the deficit some 40 billion. Nowhere near obama. So if you want to. Obama is not running, kayleigh. You guys keep talking about obama. He is not running. Martha good record over the deficit the last four to five presidencies. I think thats a pretty tough argument for anybody to make on behalf of any president at this point. So, ladies, we will leave it there thank you very much. Good to have both of you with us tonight. Thank you, martha. Martha coming up next, the recent comments from president obama that have some saying he is starting to sound kind of like a conservative. Let me say this.

Martha former president barack obama recently giving young men advice at an event for my brothers keeper. Lets face it, a lot of hip hop and rap music is built around me showing how i got more money than you, i can disrespect you and you cant do nothing about it if you are situation, you probably are not going to be wearing an 8pound chain around your neck. If you are very confident about your sexuality, you dont have to have 8 women around you twerking. Martha next guest says remarks like that make the president sound like conservative. Years of thinking of a powerless victim of an unjust world went by before i had people speak to me in the way oklahoma spoke to those young men in oakland as a an icon know class knocking down false idols. The former president is now part of problematic practices. Writing this programs like my brothers keeper insist on making better versions of Trayvon Martin the black victim instead of asking how to stop creating people like George Zimmerman the racist vigilante. Rather than discouraging them to dismantle the systems that deepen wealth inequality mr. Obama tells black people to tuck their chains. Here now the author of why young men the dangerous allure of violent movements and what we can do about it set to publish in may and Richard Fowler fellow for new leaders. Thank you for being here tonight. If that message, jamil, is conservative, if that makes you think that former president obama sounds like a conservative, what does that say about where democrats are right now . Well, what president obama is doing is reminding young men that would believe in them and high v. High expectations of them. Just because they encounter unfairness in the world doesnt mean they have to lower expectations of themselves and their own behavior. The Democratic Party, their leaders today are not creating space for that kind of conversation. Its all about what is being done to people and in this case two young men of color. And its about clinging on to narratives where young men of color are not the moral agents that were focused on. We are focused on when they are victims like in the hoax case of Jussie Smollett but not focused on situations where they are both victims and perpetrators. Where they are the moral agents determining what the outcomes are for their families, for their fox news, for their neighborhoods, their cities and thats why there is no space for that conversationed in the Democratic Party today as i see it so when president obama is reminding young men we expect big things from you we dont expect to you lower yourself because of what other people think of you or do to you, that is a message that doesnt seem to have a home in the Democratic Party today. Martha that is amazing to me, richard. Do you agree with that. I disagree with that and here is why. We do expect greatness. Acts of greatness from all of my cousins from, my friends, from everybody who i know in my community with that being said, when the odds are stacked against them, when have you Public Schools that are falling apart, when you have teachers that arent properly funded, when you have lack of opportunity in their community, its hard for you to overcome all of those things. Right . And i think that is the debate that we really need to be having in this country. How do we create a system where no matter what zip code you live in you have access to a high quality public education. If we could fix that problems where democrats and republicans could Work Together on that maybe, just maybe, we could have a conversation to ensure that black men can achieve at the same rate white men do. Martha i hear what you are saying, i think there is a lot of discussion that can be had around that i think the message from president obama is a little bit different than that. You know, i do think back to what he said before he was president which really put him on the political map in 2004 and i think made him really stand out. Watch this. There is not a black america and a White America and Latino America and asian america. There is the United States of america. Martha you know, jamil, that could be seen as a conservative message today. You know, to suggest that there is not a black america and a White America is now a controversial thing to say. That is exactly right. I mean, the idea of colorblindness, right . The ideas that color blind is universal and they apply to all of us and what it means to be a good person is the same no matter how much money have you in your pocket or what you look like. Thats what we are fighting for. Thats why when president obama said that i was excited because i think thats a message we need to be martha i think we all were. That was such a galvanizing message. At love people wondered where that message went over the course of president obamas presidency. What does it say that that statement would now be considered very controversial . I dont think that statement is controversial at all. Martha Howard Schultz just said the other day that he was color blind as a child that he played with black children and white children and hispanic children and that it blew up extremely controversial. I think the reason rye Howard Schultzs comments blew up extremely controversial the head of starbucks the company that shut down a day to deal with racial insensitivity, two men were arrested for showing up for a meeting because they happened to be africanamerican. Thats why he was condemned. Martha the conversation went there for good reench, i guess. The large err conversation, i think is true. Do you think that comment what president obama said back in 2004 wouldnt get a lot of controversy today . I will say that comment i dont think would get any controversy. The larger argument here, right, the underlying theory of the case is this there is just one america. But when you peal back that onion what you find is that in some people are getting all the benefits and some people arent. What you have created is an unbalanced have you created unlevel Playing Field. What we have got to do if we really believe in one america and i believe in it, we have got to fight ensure we have a balanced Playing Field for everybody. This goes beyond race. This also deals with zip code. When i use zip code specifically because Rural America has a different reality than urban america. Martha thats right. People of all colors have challenges in their lives that they have to deal with. Thats right. Heres what we have got to do as a country is in the places where everybody gets the same amount of funding, in the things we do as a country we all believe that children have a great k12 education. That should be the same no matter where you live no matter your zip code or race or orientation. Thats the battle. Martha give me just a 10 second closing thought, jamil before we go. Where richard and i might depart is i think all of that is true before all those things happen that doesnt mean we get to make excuses about hurting each other or hurting ourselves. We still have to be the best person we can be and we dont need to wait for all those big picture things to change in order for that to be the ways. If you cant read you have a big problem. God. Good to see you martha. Martha me too chasms up to Michael Jackson. Two of his alleged victims say his day of reckoning has finally come. Geraldo rivera who called himself one of jacksons friends joins me next. There is no thoughts of this is wrong or anything like that.

We drive in and forget about all your problems. You were in never land. It was a fantasy. Martha the upcoming hbo documentary leaving never land shining new light on sexual abuse allegations against the man known as the king of pop. Two men who accuse Michael Jackson of abusing them when they were just young boys. They are now speaking out 10 years after his death and it has some rethinking the place of the musical icon in an era of me too. Trace gallagher live in our west coast newsroom with the back story tonight. Trace . Martha, this documentary has very graphic allegations of abuse and the accusations made by wade robson who is now 36 and james saychuck 41 similar. Both befriended by jackson when they were young boys and both were brought to his neverland ranch where they claim the abuse began first with light touching and then kissing and then with jackson performing oral sex on them and vice versa. Ray robson claims his abuse went on for seven years. But the men now say they were never frightened because Michael Jackson convinced them what they were doing was in the context of a close, loving relationship. Robson says he eventually pushed the memories away until he imagined Michael Jackson abusing his own son. Watch. If i never had a son, i might still be in silence. Really . I think it was a really good chance. I had become so disconnected from myself as a little boy over the years and through the process of kind of pushing all of this down that i had no i had no relationship with little wade. The men go on to say, quote, a machine of people helped cover up the abuse but its notable that in 1993 when another young boy named jordan chandler accused Michael Jackson of abusing him both robson and safechuck denied that they had been molested. In fact, during Michael Jacksons 2005 criminal trial for sexual abuse which i covered gavel to gavel, the testimony given by wade robson denying abuse was largely credited for Michael Jacksons acquittal. The Jackson Family now says neither robson or safechuck can be trusted. Watch. Its always been about money. I hate to say it when its my uncle its almost like they see a blank check. Its an old argument that they have used and they say its just about the money. For me the lawsuit was about fighting back for little james. Nobody fought for me as a kid but im old enough now to fight for myself. Oprah winfrey is now supporting and interviewing the accusers for her own special that was taped this week in new york before an audience of sexual abuse victims. That special will air on hbo and the own network after the documentary airs on monday night. Remember, oprah interviewed Michael Jackson live back in 1993. He told her the reason he surrounded himself with children is because he never had his own childhood. She didnt press him on it he was accused of molesting other children just a few months later. Martha . Martha trace, thank you very much here now geraldo rivera, fox news correspondent at large and author of the geraldo show. Geraldo, good to have you with us tonight. You listened to those two young men, not young men anymore but recounting some horrific experiences that they say they had at never land. You know, martha, this is the era where we have to believe the victims of abuse when they come forward but i have to say the thing about wade robson specifically as Trace Gallagher accurately reported there is during the trial he was adamant that Michael Jackson, despite the many hours they spent together had never, not one time molested him. So, is he lying now or was he lying then . I cannot credit this and i have to recall also the judge and his 2005 case which i also covered remarking how all of these victims, you know, told their stories to the tabloids rather than to investigators so to me there is nothing new it is graphic, the detail is very vivid it would also seem to me to be in their best interest to tell the most dramatic story possible i would like to note Financial Arrangements between these two men and hbo, martha. Its so hard to reconcile, martha. These stories are so disturbing. You look back at Michael Jacksons live. He was always surrounding himself with children everywhere he went. And when you look at the way that people who do abuse children im just observing all of this as we watch this documentary and i listen to you it was like grooming on steroids at neverland. Candy, free candy, animals, your birthday party. The sleepover parties. You know, it is so hard to not to discount their stories given everything that we have all seen over the years. A men to everything you just said, martha. Did i spend quite a bit of time with Michael Jackson in neverland and also when he was in exile in the days leading up to that trial. He was frightened. He was paranoid he didnt know who to trust. He had just been burned by the british journalist who ingratiated himself with michael eight months and devastated him with an expose i thought was grotesquely unfair. Just because Michael Jackson was weird and never land was this creation, this disneylandlike creation doesnt make him a molester. I dont know. All i know is that robson told a very vivid story in 2005 very convincing, it was because of his exculpatory testimony i think that Michael Jackson beat the 2005 rap which i also think was fabricated evidence. And now he is changing the story. He tried to get a job. This is an important point he tried to get a job. Martha im sorry i think there is a little bit of a delay. So many me too stories along the same lines people said Nothing Happened and years later people come forward and say they have the strength to tell their story. I have got it leave it there we have got to talk more about this because this is airing over the course of this weekend there is a huge musical about Michael Jackson coming to new york city negligent year. This story is not going anywhere. Thank you very much. Good to see you tonight, geraldo. Thank you, martha.

Martha Hillary Clinton says its not fair that what women have to go through when they jump into the president ial race. Watch this. Ohio dog how does a woman stand up for herself on the biggest stage of the world without, number one, looking aggressive, maybe a little bit angry. How do you get on this kind of goldie locks path where you are not too strong and you are not too weak and you are not too aggressive and you are not too passive this is still a problem for women on the public stage. Martha what do you think about that bring in Deirdre Bolton fox business anchor lisa booth Fox News Contributor and Jessica Tarlov research at bustle. Com and a Fox News Contributor. Let me start with you deidre, is she right about that . I dont know that her comments are relevant to the 2020 candidates. I think a lot of the anger that went towards Hillary Clinton was because a lot of people didnt like the clintons. Thats why President Trump got so much wind in his sails with drain the swamp. Clintons are a good example of the swamp. Im not sure that her experience is going to be completely applicable to the next set of candidates. Martha is it difficult for women to find the right balance in all of this . I think that it is difficult. Even if you go down to something and i certainly dont want to reduce any of these womens president ial aspirations to picking out an outfit. So much commentary vs. Pants suit vs. Dresses and what kind of colors pop. We think about all of this stuff all the time being on television a visual medium when you go to the debates. And deidre, to your point about people not liking the clintons thats absolutely correct. Hillary clinton was bearing the brunt of a lot of damage her husband did. Think about having to be in the president ial debate and have the women that your husband allegedly sexually assaulted. Martha in the front row. A lot of baggage. Exactly. I do like that you pointed tout will be eetzier for next round of candidates because there are more of them. Harder to pick on people when they are in a pack than it is when there is just one. This is something that frustrates me and jess, you know i love you. This frustrates me about progressive women. They keep saying they want equality what theyre really advocating for special treatment. Somehow they should be protected or insulated from criticism. You look at some of the stuff President Trump gets called narcissist fat shamed over his doctor reviews. All kinds of attacks on his hair. Articles about him being angry and i think if Hillary Clinton, i mean, this is what she does. She plays the victim. Remember from 2016 how many things does she blame for the loss in the dnc, the media, comey, putin, i mean, the list goes on and on. I think stop playing the victim. Stop asking for special treatment. If you want equality, suck it up, take it on the chin and be like everyone else. Likability thing its a little bit of a tired argument. Every politician tries to come across that people want can relate to. Thats true for men and i think its true for women. I dont necessarily think that its something that is different. I have even heard from aoc show has not thrown her hat in the president ial. She is care charismatic. Every time she does something you want to watch her. Overall quality about makes people want to watch you and listen to your argument. True whether you are a man or woman. In terms of the whole women issue, look at this headline from the Washington Post. Motherhood was once a campaign liability. The 2020 female candidates are making it an asset. Which brings us to this golden oldy from 1992 and the aforementioned Hillary Clinton. Watch this. I suppose i could have stayed home and baked cookies and had tea. What i decided to do was fulfill my profession which i entered before i was in public life. I liked that Hillary Clinton. I actually, you know, you listen to her, you know what . This is who i am. I think people relate at the time she got a tremendous amount of heat for it she was just being honest. She was just being honest. I think sometimes if you speak to working mothers a lot of them will say yeah, im actually more efficient. I have to do it right the first time i have to get home and i have a bunch of other people to take care of. Im glad we have a Record Number of women in congress. I see progress. Martha now everyone is trying to soften up their image and talk about their kids and what 2 is like to be a mom. Men dont do that so why should women do that. Paul ryan, didnt he say he want to spend more time with my children . Martha thats true become a more open topic for men. Women are talking about it because its an important part of americans lives pushing for family leave, parental leaf, to make sure we have day care. Universal prek. These are bread and butter issues to americans. We should see men talking about it because they are equal partners. Record number of women to congress this year. It is very smart to. Everybody knows that they are an important voting block. Speaking of moms. Meghan markle says that she and harry, this is according to reports because, of course, the never say anything about this themselves they are going to raise their child with gender fluidity. The room apparently is going to be gray and white and not pink or blue . Deidre. Gray and white room . Why not . Buy legos for everyone. Buy stuffed animals for everyone. I think this is much ado about nothing. Kids have amazing imaginations and creativity. Martha lisa . I think it might be somewhat of a pr strategy because Meghan Markle struggled with talking about the likability factor there is all these stories about her being this terrible person to work for. A lot of staff that have left there is plenty of news stories basically indicating that she is not that great of person to be around. So she embraces progressivism and puts herself out there like that she will be insulated and protected by the media. Meghan markle a large portion of society think thats cool. She has been an activist since her teen years. She doesnt need to earn any cred that way. Speaking to Important Movement we have seen. Major toy companies, thought toy isles are gender neutral. Mattel has amazing close the dream act campaign. Martha neutral and im not talking about anything in terms of sexuality. Neutral can be boring. I look color. Yellow and green are great colors. Martha i have got to ogo. Have a great weekend, ladies, that is the story on friday night. See you monday at 7 00. Tucker is up next. Tucker good evening and welcome to Tucker Carlson tonight. Here is a quick civics legislative. What is politics . Politics is a system that allows people who violently disagree with each other to reach compromise without shedding blood. Its worked well for a long time in this country. But when one side decides it is no longer willing to compromise, that system breaks down. Without compromise you no longer have politics. Instead have you an especially fanatical form of religious belief. Isis, for example, is not a political organization. Its leaders reject accommodation of any kind. Its leaders assume t
