>> so rude. you leave it to her to dispose of it. >> like a man. >> moving on, like a woman, a strong woman, michelle obama's speech last night. i've read some of the reaction not just from democrats, not from liberals, republicans. michael steele said, quote, it was a hell of a speech. what do you say, star. >> i say 100%. my favorite line, women are more than capable of making decisions about their bodies and their health care. >> that's her political response to the speech. it was not supposed to be a partisan speech. it was supposed to be about emotions. >> that is emotional for me especially when it comes to health care. for a woman to be able to make choices about her own health care in every aspect, that's one of the most important things to me. >> what struck me she walked out a very different person four years ago, she was somewhat reluctant, accepted this, talking about her hesitation about the white house. this was a confident woman who strode onto that set podium very aware of who she was, what she needed to do. it was an electrifying speech. my only concern is that why she's a phenomenal orator. i don't want this to be two moms battling it out. the stay at

electing ceos based on their wife. it's one thing if it's a horrible wife, horrible man. guys, this is such a clear choice. they are both wonderful women. you're not voting for a first lady. >> no, we're not voting for a first lady but you're voting for a situation that says to america, this is my vision and this is my partner. >> that's not the woman. >> this is -- >> i disagree with you. i think people do vote for the partnership, whether you want to intellectualize it or not. if you believe there's pillow osmosis, and i believe there is pillow osmosis, people, they talk. >> on both sides, republican and democrat we saw first ladies criticized, nancy reagan criticized for being too involved, we know hillary clinton was criticized for being too involved. there is something to be said about the person on your side. if she can't tell you, no one can sell you. >> both great ladies. the choices for the presidents are very stark, not based on the first lady. >> i disagree. >> i

stunt. trivialized it. betty white is beloved. if i was producing i would not do it. >> too much going on, too many issues to discuss, too many people we want to discuss them. as much as i want to see betty white, i don't want to see her at the dnc. >> i would not counter something that didn't go well. i wouldn't enter that space. >> i think that's why there's only 12,000 figures on it. >> prince harry. >> bless his heart. >> what does that mean? >> it's in the south when somebody says bless his heart. >> i know what it means. it's a backhanded compliment. you messed up but we still like you.

makes him human, the fact he can make fun of it. this the road map to how to come back electric something. reference it and say oops and have fun with it. >> comes back at a charity event. the little boy said he was going to bring it up and said i'm glad you've got your clothes on, prince harry, he offsided them. >> there's no way for these young men to act like young men and be rabble-rousers. they have a double life. >> you're the best of both worlds you're the prince and don't have to worry about being king. get your party on. don't worry about it. >> this is a bawdy bunch of women today.

resorting to cheating on tests. as many as 200 kids at harvard under investigation. >> this was a take home test, 125 kids charged. the question is are the rules antiquated, should there be collaboration. this seems to be an issue of cheating. the concern everyone should have is what kind of template this serves as later in life when you take credit for other people's work. >> an issue about lying in our society. >> you look at the med yarks television movies, sometimes we romanticize cheating. the rebel is looking at the pretty girl's test and whatnot. we romanticize gangsters in our society, bonnie and clyde. it happens in real life. obviously it's wrong. i'm not surprised though. >> the rules are the rules. the rules say this is a take home test. you may look at anything you want but you may not collaborate with someone else. what part of that did you not get? >> cheating didn't start yesterday. people used to write answers on their home. >> take home test. >> you're asking to cheat. >> there are codes of ethics, honor codes these kids have to sign. i think the really interesting thing is what does harvard do with 125 kids who may have cheated. do you send them home? do you want to keep the tuition, yes. >> one-year sprenuspension. >> not going to happen. >> speaking of harvard, mark zuckerberg screwed his partner, cheated him out of it and he's the entrepreneur of society. >> i'm happy you're sitting next to a lawyer. >> thank you donny, dr. nancy. >> you're not going to be basing your opinion on a movie because you're not going to get the rest
