And now cast in bronze, makes her immortal. Rosa parks singular act of disobedience launched a movement. The tired feet of those who walked the dusty roads of montgomery helped a nation see that to which it had once been blinded. It has because of these men and women that i stand here today. Reporter her legacy also, perhaps, a lesson to the countrys leaders today. That is why this statue belongs in this hall, to remind us, no matter how humble or lofty or positions, just what it is that leadership requires. We can do no greater honor to her memory than to Carry Forward the power of her principle and encourage more of her conviction. A wonderful woman, indeed. Thats it for us. Erin Burnett Outfront starts right now. Outfront next, are Chris Christie and the Republican Party breaking up . The man who decided not to invite the gov to the biggest gop event of the year is outfront. And hundreds of detainees are being released, some say its because of the forced spending cuts. Is that real or a total scare tactic . And yahoo s new jobs policy ignitesing a firestorm of controversy. It is growing by the day into a complete conflagration. The Company Defends itself. Lets go outfront. And good evening, everyone. Im erin burnett. Outfront, Chris Christie, maybe theyre just not into you. Times seem to have changed a bit for the new jersey governor. It wasnt too long ago that conservatives were crushing on the toughtalking christie. Heres one of the most bizarre things ive ever heard Rush Limbaugh say. Is it wrong to love another man . Because i love Chris Christie. Wheres the love now . The powerful conservative Political Action conference, to annual d. C. Event that turns into a Republican Party of whos who is not even giving the governor an invitation. The reason, hes just not conservative enough. So wile all the 2016 white house hopefuls from his party, paul ryan, rand paul, marco rubio, theyre parading around the conference next month, its like a bunch of peacocks going around, showing your colors. Are you red enough . Chris christie will be left out in the cold. But dont worry, this is what people love about christie. He does not give a wit. He is who he is. Here he is today in the video obtained by the new jersey star ledger. Yeah, apparently i havent been invited. I wish them all the best. Theyre going to have their conference, theyre going to have a bunch of people speaking there. Thats their call. Its their organization, its their business. I cant sweat the small stuff. I have a state to rebuilding. Outfront tonight, al cardenas, the chairman of the union that organizes cpac. Al, i appreciate you taking the time between Rush Limbaugh and kroo Chris Christie there, my breath has been taken away. But it does sound like youre just not that into Chris Christie . The cpac is like for professional sports, the allstar game. Some years you get in and some years you dont. We have hundreds of people to choose from. And we always have two standards. How relevant are you this year and did you earn it . And kraChris Christie was a favorite a year ago. Thats why we had him at cpac. You know, he cut spending, he balanced the budget, he brought school choice, he was a darling of conservatives, and we gave him a great reception. This year, he was for the spending bill of 60some billion. He was for the medicare expansion in his state. So this year he didnt get one. I hope he gets back to the old form so we can have him again next year. But paul ryans coming, ri t right, and he voted for a 600 billion tax cut at the beginning of the year. Thats ten times more than Chris Christie. Well, you know, paul ryan is the advocate of the tenyear pla balanced budget. Hes fighting hard to get that done. I think if you take his work as a whole, he deserved an invitation. It will be a great cpac. Were very excited. As you know, we have more registrants this year than weve ever had. And if anybody has any doubt that the conservative movement is here to fight back, come to cpac. It will be a great event. All right. But im curious, though, because Chris Christie is a popular guy. 74 approval rating. Yeah. He, by who knows whats going to happen in the next few years, right . But he could be the best thing your party has going. I dont get why it isnt a mistake to just not include the guy . Well, look, there are two things we like to do. We want to, one, give you an attaboy if youve been a good conservative. And two, hopefully serve, i say, as an incentive for you to be a conservative. So i hope Chris Christie gets it done this year. Listen, hes always been a crowd favorite, but youve got to be a, conservative on that particular year in order to get invited. So bottom line, its the 60 billion spending bill that youre upset about. Its not that he has restrictive gun control laws in his state, its not that hes sort of been making noises that he doesnt want to go into the whole gay marriage thing . Right, its not social . Listen, we invited him last year when all those issues were known. So, obviously, weve got a different Economic Perspective this year to judge him by. Al, thank you very much. And one man whos no stranger to the conservative wing of his party is former president ial candidate, rick santorum. What do you think of this snub of Chris Christie . Im still recovering from Rush Limbaughs throaty lustathon for Chris Christie. He never said that about me, so look, al cardenas can invite who he wants. I look forward to go. Well be doing a lot of things to talk and rally conservatives at a time as you look over my shoulder and look at that capital, you dont see a lot of conservatives fighting for the principles that made our country great. And hopefully we can rally at that cpac conference and move out the from there. All right. Well, im still trying to understand, though, why this isnt i mean, you have this picture, right, of Chris Christie and barack obama, right before the election. And i know, by the way, today, mitt romney just gave money to Chris Christies gubernatorial campaign. So mitt doesnt seem to be holding a grudge. But a lot of people were really upset about that, thought it was influential in the election. Uh im just wondering if this was a part of it. The paul ryan voting for 600 billion in tax increases seems to be a way bigger violation than a 60 billion spending bill. Well, i cant make any comments on a decision that an organization made. I mean, they invited me, they didnt invite chris, they have the reasons, you heard them. My feeling is, you know, the Republican Party, the great thing about the Republican Party, its unlike the Democratic Party. There is a fair amount of diversity in our party. You guys on cnn, as well as other networks, spend a lot of time talking about the divisions in the Republican Party. And then you try to you make the claim, well, you know, the Democratic Party is a more Inclusive Party. Well, wait a minute, there is no division of the Democratic Party. You dont talk about any divisions in the Democratic Party, so who is the real Inclusive Party and who isnt . So i think, thats actually a fairly good topic of conversation. Lets talk about that. One reason people say that is because with gay marriage, right, and topper the former chairman of the rnc, ken mehlman will be will introduce a brief to the Supreme Court, in support of samesex marriage. 100 prominent republicans have signed this. He agrees with you, im not trying to divide the gop, but he wants to make a difference. Its often with Great Respect to the court. But if you are really a party that includes everybody, why take such a strong stance against gay marriage . Well, why take a strong stance for it . I mean, we all should bring to the table what we think is in the best interests of the country. And i know ken and i like ken. Ive worked with ken for years. And ken and i disagree on this issue. We disagree adamantly on this issue. But i respect his right to go to the court and to make his case, and go to the american public, which is even more important, in my opinion. You know, the one concern i have is that, you know, theres an attempt to have the courts decide this issue and not the american public. And in that respect, i would say to my fellow conservatives, thats not weve complained about that for a long, long time in this country, to have the courts step in and take away from the democratic process the right for people to make these kinds of very important judgments about what kind of country were going to live in. So i dont have a problem with him advocating for what he believes in, i do have a problem with the avenue that hes taking. Rick santorum, thanks very much, and we look forward to seeing you at cpac. Thank you. Still to come, yahoo s ceo bans their employees from working at home. Youve all heard about this. The controversy has the company on the defensive, but should it be.

Our second story outfront, yahoo s mummy wars. Ceos Marissa Myers new policy banning employees from working at home has ignited a firestorm. Maureen dowd writes, mayers bold move looks retro and politically incorrect. While another calls the policy backwards, saying, yours truly has never worked out of an office and never will. But richard branson, you are a rather unique individual. And donald wrote in, Marissa Mayer is right to expect yahoo employees to come to the workplace versus working at home. She is doing a great job. And joining us tonight, bonnie fuller, editor of hollywoodlife. Com, and democratic strategist, hilary rosen. A lot of the backlash that started has centered around the fact that Marissa Mayer as the ceo, came in, six or seven months pregnant, Something Like that, right, then when she had her child, mcallister, she built at her own expense, a nursery right nextdoor to her office. So she had this amazing luxury of being able to have that. Now she tells her employees, right, who youve got to assume, that a lot are working women, that they cant telecommute. So bad Employee Relations or fair and square . Super bad Employee Relations. But first of all, we should note that the bureau of labor statistics show that an equal number of men work at home as women who work at home. This is not just a mommy issue, its also a daddyMarissa Mayer that she came in, built a nursery next to her office for her newborn, but yet shes telling everybody who works for her, you know, that kid at home and everything youve got to do, youve got to come to the office. I dont think everybody can bring a baby and have them hang out at their cubicle. Its an out of touch thing that a new leader really shouldnt do. Interesting point. And you know, interesting that both men and women, can work from home. And obviously, i dont know what all the reasons are, whether its related, and whether its more children related or not. Thats a real key question. Bonnie, when you were a new editor at cosmo, your youngest daughter was born, you brought her to work. Thats a luxury, right, lets just admit it. Most people, you cant. Yes, it was a luxury. I had fantastic bosses at first. I talked to them about it, but i was in, really, a similar situation to marissa. I had started a new job, i had just taken over as editor in chief as cosmopolitan magazine and i had a lot of work that had to be done and i was pregnant. And i didnt feel that ti actually had the luxury of taking maternity leave. And im sure that thats exactly how she felt. Shes got 14,000 plus employees depending on her being there, doing a fantastic job, raising revenue, raising the share price, all of which will benefit them. And so, she made the decision that instead of taking a lot of time off, she would come right back to work. Two weeks of maternity leave, which is incredible. Thats right. But most women dont want to do that. But she needed to do that, in her position, clearly, at least she felt she did. And so, she did what was necessary for her, in order for her to fulfill her job. Go ahead,. Bonnie wrote a great piece on this today, and im a fan of bonnies, but i dont think the issue is whether she was entitled to build a nurse tri next to her or whether, you know, its not super human to have come back after two weeks from maternity leave. Were not talking about maternity policy. I just find it ironic that, you know, at a tech company, this sort of forwardlooking ceo, who everybody said is kind of this new generation leader, has gone back to kind of a 1950s sort of a work policy mentality. Its if you cant get your employees to be motivated enough when they have stayathome work policies, this isnt these arent parents who are taking maternity leave, these are people who are telecommuting and, your problem is leadership and motivation. Your problem isnt kind of outdated policies. But, isnt it partly, though, as she said, its the serendipitous stumble, to use my words. You run into something when youre at the coffee machine or you talk to someone at your desk, youre able to come up with more ideas, you get to know people more face to face. Thats the one thing ive learned with all the technology, the face to face meetings are still the ones that matter the most. I totally agree with you. And i dont think that this is a return to a 1950s policy at all. I think she is doing what she feels is necessary to build a great culture there, to foster innovation, creativity, teamwork. How can you be a team if youve got hundreds of employees that are all at a distance . And i have an organization too i run at hollywood life. And we get our best work done by all being together, putting ideas together, bouncing ideas off each other, exactly what you said. All right. You know, the one thing that is clear is that, we wouldnt be talking about this policy or this hr letter to employees if she wasnt, you know, a ceo in her 30s and a woman. Clearly, there is this double standard. We know there are tough policies that Men Institute all across the country. Having staid that, you know, shes put herself out there at some risk, at this point, i think. Thanks to both of you. I cant decide if a man put it out if he would have been utterly filleted and fired by now or if anyone would have noticed. Wouldnt have been noticed. And that would say something. For the first time, theres serious discussions about sending a man and woman spaceship to mars. The man behind the plan comes outfront next. And silverio berlusconi, tiger woods or danica patrick. We asked you which you would rather be, and you know what, the results are surprising. Theyre coming up. Hold on, prilosec isnt for fast relief. Cue up alkaseltzer. It stops heartburn fast. Oh what a relief it is cue up alkaseltzer. It stops heartburn fast. Oh, hi thehey ill. Are you in town for another meeting . Yup, i brought my ateam. Siness trips add to family time. This is my family. This is joe. Hi joe hi there earn a ton of extra points with the double your hhonors promotion and feel the hamptonality. We replaced people with a machine. R, what . Customers didnt like it. So why do banks do it . Hello . Hello . if your bank doesnt let you talk to a real person 24 7, you need an ally. Hello . Ally bank. Your money needs an ally. I heard something today that got my juices going. Its why i decided to wear red. Because for the first time ever, people might go to mars. And today i actually got the chance to talk with dennis tito, the man whos making this happen. You may remember him, hes an american engineer, multimillionaire. He was the first space tourist. In 2001, he hitched a ride with the russians. He spent almost eight day ossen the International Space station, orbited the earth 128 times. I asked him about his love of space and he said this. It just goes back to when i was 17 years old and sputnik was launched and there was the beginning of the space race. And i enrolled in university for aeronautics and astronautics. So thats been my passion for life. And i made up my mind, you know, in my 20s, that i wanted
