Ever. I told my republican colleagues, leaving him the hell alone. Do you have confidence in mueller . Yes. 100 . Im not aware the president ever intimated he wanted to fire robert mueller. Mueller is still special counsel. Are we having a google issue here . Questions grow on the bias inside the fbi. The socalled deep state. This memo of answers the legitimate questions. You want the president to declassify the memo . Having read the memo, i think it would be appropriate that the public has full release. I have questions on others within the fbi and the doj. Youre painting a conspiracy. You think thats the most plausible no. Chuck, this place sucks. Joining me this hour to talk about all of that and more, White House Reporter for the associated press, katherine lucy, National Politico reporter for axios, Jonathan Swan is still with us. Former rnc chair and political analyst, michael steele, and former Deputy Assistant for the National Defense and National Security adviser, nancy farkus. Considering we just went through the headlines on russia, the memo, john, i want to pick up where we left off. The idea that the president s team is incredibly concerned about potential, the perjury problem, so to speak. Where does that how concerned are they still that they have any do they have a way out of having the president talk about mueller . Well, hes going to have to it seems, anyway, it seems that the way its been set up, that hes going to have some interaction with mueller. Is that a written question and answer . We know that mueller wont want that, hell want a live interview, but it is very clear. You know, you dont need to have great reporting to figure it out. It is all there to see publicly. The president is there to see me, i cant wait, and then you have ty cobb saying, we hope its not a perjury trap. He literally used the phrase. And john dowd says, im the one who decides, hes not doing anything until i decide. And the people around the close orbit are concerned that the president could perjur himself. I want to get to another story, steve wynn has resigned as rnc finance chairman following a wall street journal report in which dozens of women told the paper about a decades long pattern of Sexual Misconduct by wynn. Wynn denied the allegations in a statement writing in part, quote, the idea that i ever assaulted any woman is preposterous. Rnc chair released this statement saying, quote, i accepted steve wynns resignation as republican chair. That stands in contrast to what was said about Harvey Weinstein when she tweeted, quote, if the dnc truly stands up for women like they say they do, then returning weinsteins dirty money should be a nobrainer. Already congresswoman karen handel of georgia said she donated the 2700 contribution she got from wynn to a nonprofit that deals with domestic violence. And the wall street journal now reporting that House Speaker paul ryan will also donate 1,000 contribution linked to steve wynn that he received back in 2016 to charity. Meanwhile, President Trump, surprise, surprise, has yet to weigh in on wynns resignation. The two are longtime business rivals and friends. Wynn served on the president s inaugural committee and is someone mr. Trump has spoken about glowingly in the past. And another great friend of mine, somebody respected by everybody, a great friend of phil, too, mr. And mrs. Steve wynn. Stand up, steve. Stand up. Steve is always calling, hes always got advice, right, steve . Donald, i think you dont do this and that, his advice i like to listen to, ill be honest with you. Michael steele, i want to go to you on this. What should the rnc say in this instance . And what should republicans do now . Well, they did the right thing in terms of, you know, trying to get ahead of this and getting wynn off of their radar screen, simply because theyve got a meeting this week, their winter meeting here in d. C. Area, so they dont want that to be the poppic of conversation, but it will be one of the topics of conversation. The chairwomans muted response is rather amusing, particularly given, it sort of tells you when the shoe is on the other foot how tight that shoe can really fit. You know . So here we are. And its actually been surprising that you havent heard much from anybody out of the 168 members of the rnc, national chair, committee of men and women, but this week will be a chance with the reporters scouting the halls to ask them up close and personal what they think. Jonathan swan. Hanging over all of this, we can deduce something from this, is donald trump. And Ronna Mcdaniel doesnt do anything without Donald Trumps blessing. She always talks, they talked early yesterday. We have not seen donald trump say anything publicly. I would love to know what that conversation sounded like with donald trump. Because her statement could not have been, as you said, weaker. Although we do know that he signed off on the it would have happened, yes. So there was that level. But yeah, youre absolutely right. We dont know what the president thinks in full, and we may learn about it in a midnight tweet at some point this week, given how he operates. Right. One thing, too, is, and i have found as i talked to sources on both sides of the aisle, there is a tendency, evelyn, for each side to take this and say, oh, this is this is a partisan problem. When, really, this is clearly, as those tweets demonstrate, happening on both sides of the aisle and is more of a reckoning. It shouldnt be politicized. And i think there was other Coverage Today during the day when they talked about the state of the Union Address and who is going to be sitting in the audience. And one of the company they or thes commentator said, it shouldnt be a democratic issue, the me too. And likewise, the steve wynn case falls into that category. It shouldnt be the possession of one party or another. I mean, everybody should be on the right side, though its funny how the members of congress, they really, when the shoe is on the other foot, they speak very loudly. They forget. I mean, every time, i mean, you know how the hill operates, what Goes Around Comes Around all the time. Its just a matter of time. And somehow they manage to forget it when not running the show. To this point, the New York Times is reporting that a Senior Adviser to Hillary Clinton was kept on the 2008 Campaign Even after being repeatedly accused of sexual harassing a young subordinate. The times story said Clintons Campaign manager should fire bernstrider, instead his pay was docked. He landed at a proclinton super pac to correct the record. Clinton responded on twitter in this moment writing, and stopping short of an apology. Quote, a story appeared today about something that happened in 2008. I was dismayed when it occurred, but was heartened that the young woman came forward, was heard and had her concerns taken seriously and addressed. I called her today to tell her how proud i am of her and to make sure she knows what all women should, we deserve to be heard. Buzzfeeds ruby cramer has a piece out citing three clinton aides saying they want him fired and this is characteristic of his southern background. I thought they had manners in the south. He frequently kissed people on the head dating back to his days on capitol hill, describing or touching or kissing someone on the head as part of cheering staffers on and doing devotional blessings. I quit doing that after 08 and i picked it up again and correct the record, he said, because all my young researchers seemed to like it. Memo, they dont. Ruth marcus writes in the washington post, quote, Hillary Clinton, metoo, sowhat, how do you write a primal scream . Because my head is about to explode over the story about alleged Sexual Harassment on Hillary Clintons 2008 president ial campaign and her appallingly mild response. Then and now. So two things here, first of all, there were two women in the Hillary Clinton campaign in 2008 who recommended that bernstrider be fired and Hillary Clinton overwrote that personal lip. But i want to focus on the temp rare response here that is missing the shift that is happening. It is an interesting moment here, which is two things going on, that Hillary Clinton has been a person who has been inspiring to a lot of women, a lot of people credit the fact that she lost to donald trump as motivating a lot of women to get preemptive. And they are. They are more preemptive. Youre seeing a historic number of them running for office, and then youre seeing this me too moment, the times up moment. And then this, for one example, shes not necessarily the standard bearer that everyone wants. So how do you reconcile those things . And i think the one thing they wonder about is, it doesnt appear Hillary Clinton will run for anything that we know of. Shes knock bying the same space in public life, but does this mean she cant take on the elderman state role in the elections and how much does she need to do at this point . Thats kind of what well see in the next clearly, evelyn, her relationship with Sexual Harassment in the public sphere is a complicated one. But i do, in having spoken to a lot of young women in the course of covering this story, i do think that there is some frustration on the part of younger women in the workplace. They dont necessarily feel as though, while they may feel grateful to women who initially led the feminist movement and have clearly come before and made a lot of strides and ground, they dont necessarily feel protected by women in power sometimes. Yeah, i can see that. I mean, you know, when i read about that, i thought to myself, well, what job did the young woman get . Because the gentleman in question, if i can call him a gentleman, he thinks hes a southern gentleman, i guess, but anyway, the Campaign Senior staffer, he obviously wasnt sanctioned and he didnt suffer as a consequence. In fact, he was promoted and kept on and promoted. So did she get a lateral move . It doesnt sound like she was promoted. So i think thats problematic because at the end of the day, thats really what matters for women, is whether were taken as equals in the pocketbook and in terms of promotion and opportunity for advancement. What struck im sorry, just real quick, what struck me in that narrative is that she, the woman, was moved to a different position. He wasnt moved out. Yeah. She was the one who brought the concern and the allegations and others corroborated. And she was put into a different position in the campaign, not him. And that says all you need to know about how even the most sophisticated people in the world deal with this issue. Yeah. Being heard is only part of it. Thats right. I just dont understand. I just dont understand it. Shes not disputing any of the facts in that story n that tweet. Shes not saying, no, this is a wrong account. The account is pretty damning. He ended up working in the super pac. Over the objections of two women who said you should be fired. The idea that she cant say sorry and she made a mistake and gravely regrets it, i just dont understand it. Katherine, you mentioned women are so motivated, i want to show our viewers a piece of the new interview from President Trump, which may or may not surprise you. Take a look. Are you a feminist . No, i wouldnt say im a feminist. I mean, i think that would be maybe going too far. Im for women, im for men, im for everyone. So on the flip side of this conversation, to your point that women may be galvanized in 2020 yeah, the president saying hes not a feminist is like he just galvanized more women. What is your reaction to that . Theres pay inequality. I think maybe were at 80 cents to the dollar, but pay inequality, we have horrible problems with childcare, which leads to women having trouble getting advancement, women are still not at the top of the boardrooms. I gave the example before of the eight cochairs of davos, there are some great examples internationally and in the u. S. , like the ibm ceo, but you know, women still have a long way to go. And the fact that the president somehow doesnt seem to grasp this is sad. And you can see in this administration theres a limited number of women in top jobs, a limited number that put up for judgeships and other roles like that. So these things matter. Yeah. Evelyn farcus, thank you for your time. While democrats look to steal a seat in pennsylvania, the new report out just from the hill. The Koch Brothers plan to up spend millions of dollars to elect conservatives, the most ever. And as we go to break, the arts of the deal. President trump asked if a President Trump asked if a van gogh painting landscape with snow could be displayed in the white houses living quarters. That painting hangs in the Guggenheim Museum in new york city. The chief curator nancy specter said no. The van gogh was not available, but miss specter offered an alternative. An 18 karat fully functioning gold toilet. This work of art had been display in a public restroom at the guggenheim and it had been used by thousands of people. I suppose you could dismiss this as tongue and cheek humor, but i dont take it that way. And i dont think most americans will be amused. Im a concrete mason. I own my own company. I had some severe fatigue, some funny rashes. Finally, listening to my wife, went to a doctor. And i became diagnosed with hodgkins lymphoma. That diagnosis was tough. I had to put my trust in somebody. When i first met steve, we recommended chemotherapy, and then we did high dose therapy and then autologous stem cell transplant. Unfortunately, he went on to have progressive disease. I thought that he would be a good candidate for immune therapy. Its an intravenous medicine that can affect the patients immune system and unleash it against the cancer. With chemotherapy, i felt rough, fatigue, nauseous. And with immune therapy weve had such a positive result. Im back to working hard. Ive honestly never felt this great. I believe the future of immunotherapy at ctca is very bright. The evolution of cancer care is here. Learn more at cancercenter. Com Appointments Available now. I think that the tax plan has has been even better than we thought. What did happen that nobody considered is that at t started, but they immediately followed, hundreds of companies are giving thousands and thousands of dollars to their workers. And now you have almost 3 million workers that are receiving thousands of dollars. That was President Trump speaking with cnbc during his trip to davos this week for the World Economic forum. And with trump slated to deliver his first state of the union speech this week, hell likely keep that focus on his economic achievements. Since his tax plan was passed, 40 companies from the s p 500, including comcast, announced they are giving bonuses to employees as a result of the tax reform bill. But while a new reuters poll has the president s economic Approval Rating at 49 , his overall job approval stands at just 37 . So can the president stay on message long enough to keep the focus on our booming economy . Im joined now by mark lauder, former specialist to the president and press secretary to Vice President pence. Thank you for being here, really appreciate it. Walk me through, it does seem, and i think the question is, normally the president s Approval Ratings are tied very closely to how well our economy is doing. And there seems to be questions about whether thats the case for the president here. I think it will catch up. I think what youre seeing is a huge amount of optimism from the american people, youre seeing it in companies, the hiring, the bonuses, the raises, and the longer it goes, i think you will see that economic momentum translate into the president s Approval Ratings as we go further out. What does the president need to accomplish on tuesday night . In some ways, its normally this speech is, it consumes washington and the pomp and circumstance of it. We rarely get to hear from the president. We hear from the president all the time in all kinds of ways. Its one of the rare situations where its entirely possible hell give the speech and by the morning well be talking about something completely different. Well, i think one of the things here, though, is this speech transcends just fake cable news. Where many people here in washington and people who are politically inclined, we watch this all the time. This is one of the few occasions when all the Major Networks will be carrying it. And it will translate into everyone watching it, or many people watching it at home, so many people who are just reading the headlines and catching it in the evening newscast, i think theyll get a better glimpse of what the president s vision is. Hes going to lay out a bold plan. Hes definitely going to talk about the economic accomplishments, be hes got boundless optimism in the american spirit and economy. You will see that. Im interested to see, his inaugural speech was the opposite of optimistic. But go back to the first joint address to congress, not a state of the union a few weeks later, and he really laid out that vision. It was very well received. It was very well received. I think youll see a speech from his heart. I think you will see him build on the economic success that has taken place, some of the National Security success. And i think hell make a call on congress, whether it be on immigration, infrastructure and ways to move together forward in a pi partisan fashion. Jonathan swan . Theres been a lot of moments where trump was very moved by that moment, if you remember in the speech to the joint session of congress, where they had the widow of the fallen navy s. E. A. L. And there was a standing ovation. We all were. It was incredibly moving. It was an incredibly moving moment. And i expect there will be families of opioid victims perhaps as guests, so that will put a lot of attention into the guest list to create these moments in the speech. Im sorry, go ahead. But none of it matters come wednesday morning. If the president at 6 00 a. M. Tweets something that reflects more of what he really feels. Because the thing to keep in mind about this speech, including the first one that he gave, that it is basically, the president in a box, it is the president required to give a prepared text that does not necessarily reflect what he really thinks and feels about what hes talking about. We have seen it too many times to know the history here. So my anticipation is probably a very good speech on tuesday, and then lets wait for the final on wednesday because thats likely to come in the next round. Now, it could be on any number of topics that some may not be covered in the speech, but i think thats the thing that hurts this president s momentum oftentime when he does the after action to take away from what was a very good speech the night before. What is your reporting showing on how the white house is preparing for this behind the scenes . They are putting a lot of effort into this, obviously. And to marks point, they really want to make an uplifting positive speech. And i think the speech that the president gave in davos last week is something to look at. That was certainly a more, sort of a more positive tone, a sort of victory lap on the economy, and he avoided combative language and some of his more insidiary phrases. No little rocketman, there was no fire and fury. I dont think well see that on tuesday either. Mark, before i let you go, i want to ask you about the Vice President and his role in the midterm elections coming up. Its potentially a tough map. What do you think the Vice President could bring to the table to campaigning for republicans that perhaps wouldnt be a strongsuit for the president . Well, i dont think its a question of what is strong for the president and not. So lets just go with what are Vice President pences picks . Well, i will tell you, hes going to be very busy in the first quarter. I think hes got about 30 trips planned already in various events supporting republican candidates. Hes kicking off a twoday event here in washington with some of the top donors, which are going to help provide the funding so he can go out and take that message around. The Vice President is typically happiest when hes out talking to real people and talking about the president s message. So it really fits right into with what he likes to do. Mark lauder, thank you for coming in tonight. I really appreciate it. Thank you. When we return, states at play. Democrats see an opening to steal a seat in pennsylvania and mitt romney sees an opening in the senate. Were back live from d. C. In just a moment. Building a website in under an hour is easy with gocentral. From godaddy in fact, 68 of people who have built their. Website using gocentral, did it in under an hour, and you can too. Build a better website in under an hour. With gocentral from godaddy. Im suddenly popular af. And a lot of people are saying, man, i wish george w. Bush was our president right about now. So i just wanted to address my fellow americans tonight and remind you guys that i was really bad. I feel for donny, i really do. Im not a trump synthesizer or anybody, but we both won the election despite losing the popular vote. Though back in my day, we didnt let russians rig our elections. We used the Supreme Court like americans. That was will ferrell reprising his role of george w. Bush on last nights saturday night live. Welcome back to kasie dc. Will ferrell set us up perfectly because the last time the house, the last time the democrats took back the house was in 2006, partly because george w. Bush was so unpopular. It seems now donald trump is at least, if not potentially more so, unpopular. Pennsylvania 18 is a special election to replace tim murphy who departed after a complicated Sexual Misconduct claims. What is your sense, it seems like this is really in play, and this is i think it is. I think youre seeing folks on the ground there gin up in a way they wouldnt otherwise given the nature of the district. Its a strong leaning or very strong republican district. And the fact of the matter is, the parties on both sides are now going to put a lot of boots on the ground, a lot of money into the race, because it is a pickup opportunity for the dems. But more importantly for the republicans, they are getting taletell signs of weaknesses in other places around the country as well. So this race can serve almost as a bell weather in some red lights for things coming down the pipe they may not like. Two points, i think trump won, was it 20 points, Something Like that . So the fact that its in play is obviously concerning. But all these races are nationalized. And the democrats are getting so much smaller donor money because of the national fervor against trump. So this could be really draining the Republican Partys coffers. And this is the kind of district that has historically been a place democrats could win, but trump, if this is the kind of place where trump won the state of pennsylvania, for example. Pennsylvania, wisconsin, michigan, these states, traditionally democratic states that are often democratic states that trump flipped, absolutely. The democrats want to show momentum. This is the first opportunity out of the gate in 18 today that. And the republicans badly want to blunt it. Whatever happens in one race is one race, but both sides will want to show how the year will go. And as a corollary to that, one thing people up didnt Pay Attention to alabama that were about to see in pennsylvania is that the president at the beginning of 2017 was at 68 Approval Rating in that state. On the day of that election, he was at 48 approval. So the thing to keep in mind is, yes, the president won it by 20 in 2016, but this is now 2018. And as a whole lot of terrain covered, and to your point, the races are much more nationalized now than they were then. So it could be a real problem for republicans. But at least the republican candidate is not an accused pedophile. Amen. That is a plus. Probably for the best. So the other race i wanted to touch on, too, is mitt romney, potentially gearing up for a senate run in utah, at least potentially putting more puzzle pieces in play next week, though im told not to anticipate any sort of formal announcement. It does seem to me that they, at least, believe the path is pretty clear. That puts him on track to be a potential serious antagonist for President Trump. I think hell be one of the most compelling figures in the senate, assuming he runs, assuming he wins. I think those are both fairly good odds on the questions, but he will be almost the standardbearer for, you know, the Republican Party that was. Of yester year, the one were familiar with. Does that party have a future . Ask this guy. It better. I hope it does. Look, heres the thing about the trump era that people need to understand. There was a lot of unsettled business in the party before trump cam along. Trump came along and actually served as a big bandaid to a lot of that. Romneys role is going to have to be carefully crafted once he gets to the senate. He cannot be the, you know, the antithesis of donald trump, he cant be the antitrump. He has to bridge that gap in a way so that everything he says and utters is not taken as antitrump by a lot of folks still in the party. You have been seeing that behind the scenes already, just talking to people who advise him and are around him, the message im getting for people who worked for him before is essentially that, is he going to standout to the president . Absolutely. But is he going to agree with the president in some places . He might to a degree that might surprise people. Right. And i think we know the president is not thrilled about this prospect. He tried to get orrin hatch to run again. It sets up a fascinating dynamic, and we have seen this relationship sort of evolve and come back and forth for some time. And we all remember when romney came and they broke bread and they ate, was it frog legs . And then he had to come and give the statement to the press about how, how great trump was. So it will be really interesting to see if not equal footing, both with their independent power up against each other. And we didnt get to talk about bernie 2020, which apparently is also in the news this week. Its gearing up. Already gearing up. Are you feeling the bern . Im feeling the bern, lets bring it. Have some fun. Its nice to bring the bern in from 2016. Before we go to break, a quick programming note. Ari melber along with the ceos of google and youtube describe how we deal with the rapid change of pace, its a special townhall event tonight. Take a look. The Tech Companies have gotten bigger. I think with more power comes more responsibility. And i think the scrutinys important. Its a big part of democratic systems. You need to hold companies accountable. And i think thats a healthy part of evolution that needs to happen, but theres a part where we all need to be careful. And you dont want it to make, you dont want people to reject technology. Technology is the source of progress. And i think how we drive this constructively forward will impact the u. S. And the humanity a lot more than we realize. You can catch revolution, google and youtube changing the world right after kasie dc at 9 00 p. M. Right here on msnbc. And larry nassar has been sentenced to decades in prison. The fallout is just beginning on capitol hill. Well talk about the National Disgrace and the adults who run the u. S. Gymnastics program when we return. You still think that somehow you are right, that you are a doctor, that you are entitled, that you dont have to listen, and that you did treatment. I wouldnt send my dogs to you, sir. My page only goes to 100 years. Sir, im giving you 175 years, which is 2100 months. Ive just signed your death warrant. That was judge rose marie during an emotional sentencing hearing for disgraced gymnastics doctor larry nassar who will, as you heard the judge say, likely spend the rest of his life in prison for molesting young girls under the guides of medical treatment. Since that hearing, the fallout has been swift. Finally, michigans attorney general says hes opening a new investigation into how the allegations against nassar were dealt with at Michigan State university where nassar practiced sports medicine. All the schools Athletic Director announced retirement and the schools president resigned. The remaining directors of usa gymnastics say they will resign as well. But now lawmakers on capitol hill are taking action. Tomorrow the house is expected to vote on the latest version of a bill that would force athletic organizations to report sexual abuse allegations more quickly. On top of that, a House Committee is opening an investigation of sexual abuse in organized sports, including usa gymnastics. When we come back, new cases of Sexual Misconduct with new repercussions in congress. He called her his soul mate after using taxpayer money to settle a Sexual Harassment claim. Now congressman pat neiman wont see reelection. Thats next on kasie dc. We can add another name to the list of members of Congress Announcing their retirement or resignation as a result of Sexual Misconduct allegations. Republican congressman Patrick Meehan says he wont run for reelection after being scrutinized for alleged inappropriate behavior with a female aide. Meehan settled the Sexual Harassment complaint with taxpayer money. He denies the allegations. In a letter to his Campaign Chairman obtained by the philadelphia inquirer, meehan writes, it is clear to me that under the current conditions, any campaign i would run would not be decided over vital issues but likely devolve into an ugly harsh rhetoric. Meehan admitted he had a close relationship with the aide, but the letter he wrote to her was mischaracterized. I said, go for it. I want you to know that im here for that. Thats been turned as a love letter, that somehow i have been, you know, harassing because im writing love letters. I was writing a letter to say, i love the idea that you have found this new relationship. And even though it hurts me that were going to be separated, and even though im struggling with the idea that having you with me is something i need to make sure i always keep professional. This is a boss writing a letter to a junior staffer about her relationship, new relationship with somebody not him. According to the washington post, meehan is the seventh member of this congress to resign or retire due to misconduct allegations. Joining me now, democratic congresswoman lois frankel of florida. Congresswoman, thank you for your time, appreciate it. I want to start by asking you about the plans for the state of the union. Many women members of Congress Planning to wear black. Are you participating . Can you explain what is behind it . Yes, well, first of all, kasie, thank you for having me. Thank you for being here. Of course. A couple weeks ago i sent an email out to all members of congress, and i asked them to join me in wearing black on tuesday night. Its going to be a big audience, millions of people watching, and we wanted to take advantage of that opportunity and send a message of solidarity with the me too survivors and join those who were saying, time is up now for Sexual Harassment and inequality in the workplace. And that there are many members of congress that want to be part of the solution. Congresswoman, do you expect to have bipartisan participation in this . Or do you think its just going to be Democratic Women . Well, i havent taken a clothing check. I dont know whether the women i know a lot of the Democratic Women will also be wearing black. But i do know they do most years, in fairness. And im hoping the president is wearing his black suit. I think, though, what is important is that following tuesday night, i know ive been working with some of my republican colleagues, men and women, and were going to have a bipartisan hearing on Sexual Harassment in the workplace across all the Different Industries in this country and try to showcase good policies and see if we need to change laws. So i like to think of this as a, not a partisan issue, because sexual abuse and inequality in the workplace, that comes in all, i say all shapes and all parties and all industries. Congresswoman, to that point, theres been some reporting that Hillary Clinton in 2008 made a different decision from two different decision from two women including her Campaign Manager and decided not to fire burn strider, one of her faith adviser after a woman reported that he had repeatedly harassed her. Im wondering, do you think that mrs. Clinton should be apologizing for that now . She did not in a tweet. It she mishandle that situation . And how would you handle something in your own office along those lines. First, thanks for that question. Listen, i dont really know the facts of what happened with mrs. Clinton. I do know this. I do know that since the me too movement has begun, since these courageous victims, survivors have come forward, attitudes are changing and the way people may have handled something, two years ago, a year ago or even two months ago is very, very different. Congresswoman, i apologize for interrupting you, but Hillary Clinton did tweet con tell rain yously and she called the women and she was glad she had been heard. She did not say she should have handled it differently. Do you think if the incident happened today it should be handled differently than it was in 2008 . Not knowing specifically, i do these instances are handled differently and i can tell you right now, this week in congress, there will be new legislation thats going to require the congress to handle our Sexual Harassment allegations differently. In the past its been very one sided against victims, were going to go to a much more transparent streamlined system where members are going to have to be accountable and pay out of their own pockets. Congresswoman, Jonathan Swan from axeios has a question for you. Are you aware of any sexual miss behavior from your male colleagues that hasnt come to light in the reporting so far . No, i am not. You havent heard i will tell you any of your male colleagues . No, ive asked. I will tell you this, if i knew of some i would come forward and tell the proper folks to get it handled but i have not heard of anything else, other than what you know. And based on that standard, you hadnt heard of any of the previous ones that had been disclosed . I have to say, most of it was very shocking to me. Most or all of it. And unacceptable. So none of them, you heard none of them before hand . No. Congresswoman, quickly, im wondering you obviously are a very accomplished woman in public life. Do you have a personal me too story that you bring to this . Nothing egregious like some of the stories weve heard. Listen, its very hard to get through life first of all without having some experiencing inequality in the workplace in terms of pay and so forth and advancement. Listen, i probably had my share of comments that i didnt like but nothing egregious like weve heard from some of these survivors. Congresswoman, thank you very much for your time tonight. Its great to see the progress thats being made on this front in the congress and well watch to see what happens on the floor for the state of the union. Thank you very much for your time. Thank you. When we return, what to watch for in the week ahead. I dont know if you read the news lately, i certainly have not. Ive been too busy doing oil paintings, actually getting my mfa from the university of phoenix online, its paying off big time. I call this one doggy goes to space.
