host: what is your sense of the balance between men and women? guest: i think he has a point in the sense that men and women are a sense ifferently in of their biology, the way they think. the way they do things. careers they go into, the things they are drawn to. they can do of what i believe and i think that america as a whole believes that women can do the same jobs as en and we are not created unequally in the opportunities we can pursue and work we can do. how is it somebody 26 has already written two books? guest: i turned 22 the first ummer i was here and i just really got my feet wet and dug in hard and said yes to a lot of and i have been blessed with a the love opportunities and politics is my passion. a lot since i have been here and covered presidential campaigns, covered scandals, covered lots of things

going on inside the media and it a good time to be in d.c. to being a journalist, be a people nd i joke with about living in washington and orking with media because i feel like you are packing so much information into a day not year.tion a my favorite part is seeing history in the making. host: late summer your book came out "assault and flattery." you get the title? guest: it was a brainstorming with it.nd i came up after a long list of names and different title changes that the last one i came up with and that stuck. e had a couple other names before that but they were not as powerful as that. the reason it is assault and is there is a lot of assault that has happened in politics of women especially on democrat side but flattery because the definition of praise is giving false

and complimentses for one's personal gain and that describes is in the book and how women are treated. it to mary dicate pavlich roby. yes.t: she's my great aunt. she was a pioneer in her right. the associate vice director at university of arizona 30 years when women were not held in high positions in the athletics department. a pioneer in the sense she did things that women had done before. she took on the good old boys in the athletics department and did by maintaining her lady and had a lot of class and i looked up to her. i played a big role where went to college and was there as a strong prominent female figure life. so, i miss her and i thought hat a lot of what was in the book she would relate to.

>> you went to university of arizo arizona? guest: yes. [video clip] detest every single one of her domestic policies. >> i think that the honorable gentleman knows that i have the contempt for his socialist policies of the people of east experienced. must have hit the right nail on the head when i pointed out the logic of those are they would rather have the poor poor once and talk the gap was that. down here. that. not there. or that. the gap is smaller they would tall taller.he

you do not create wealth and way.rtunity that you do not create the property owning democracy that way. margaret thatcher? guest: i think her words speak themselves. just like my aunt mary she was a phenomenal did things for not oefpbl the treatment of her country but people with grace and class and if you watch that clip the people she disagreed with her.laughing with she's a sense of humor and she eally just was an amazing role model for women and perfect example of strong leadership and strong woman who was very good making her arguments and taking on the evil of the world world.l men of the i think that we saw that with the cold war. a big roleely played in my political perspective and think she's left a very good mark on history as a strong powerful woman. warning. have a

many the vulgarity of democratic leaders and -- host: why did you feel the need out front? guest: there are plenty of at ples of democratic men local and presidential level engaged in sexually explicit with women against their will, sexual abuse, sexual of course the n women's groups who claim to be the ones who represent all women dress up in like costumes that are inappropriate and display things and say necessarily re not the best way to make an argument. so, a lot of that is detailed wanted people to know i talk about things in a straightforward bay. sugar coat it and make excuses for the kind of behavior that is used.

it is not me saying them but groups, women's rights women activists and detailing stories about sexual abuse office.ublic host: your chapter titles among other things you have inside the real war against women, profiles and liberal mysogyny. the women they don't want to know. then you have the c word. calculated that was to get people's attention? guest: of course it is to get but it draws tion attention to the language and tactics these groups were using. decided to write the back came after closely being on the 2012 presidential campaign trail. was following both campaigns and the reason the book came to light is pause i was sitting at convention in fpn.c. charlotte and at that time we had seen the left take on this women argument accusing republicans of hating women and

policies yet at this convention after will listening speech after speech about the war on women waged from the did you have and bill theyyone played a tribute to ted kennedy rights the words women's champion stamped on the video. the war on women argument had gone on long enough long d been monopolized enough and somebody needed to do ted hing to point out that kennedy was anything but a women's rights champion considering his history with women. so, that was something that spurred this become idea. the governor of the state bill ernor is a friend of clinton. this is 2014 and we were running is so you can pick up what

important to his campaign. [video clip] sharper contrast between the two candidates running for government in the of virginia. i want everybody to know here ou know where i stand on the issues. i will fight for women every day. people fight against women here in virginia. a woman who works the same job what man gets.or if you work the same job you amount.t paid the same i will not allow virginia to ault on women in shutting down health centers and taking women's rights. you help me the next six months you will be there every day for you. host: your reaction. guest: my reaction is he is now state ernor of the great of virginia but the statistics that he quoted in his speech was

78 cents on the dollar thoroughly debunked by many economic studies and women's rights groups that look on women's pay. the pay gap is a mess and is white house t the used in 2012 to get barack obama live used two gh get himself elect and lives on hey are discriminated against in the workplace and not paid the same as men we they don't 78 cents on the dollar figure comes from a lifetime of work. not comparing one job that a woman is doing and equal job a man is doing and amount of pay. it comes after a life of work. ou look at the details of that women tend to work less over a period of a life time than men ecause they make different choices and because they are working less over a lifetime they make less money. instead the left has successfully taken that argument been dishonest about where

it comes from in trying to tell they are discriminated against and the government will make it equal for men inside the when we have come a long way since things were unequal and women are getting as men are in the workforce. they are not being discriminated against based on the fact they female. host: what is your full-time job? editor.orking as a news host: do they pay you equally? guest: they do, yes. town hall.com. guest: it is a conservative media outlet. each of us who works there has a different wall but we've a page.ist i'm to make sure we are covering stories people are interested in a lot of work including columns, reporting on a daily basis and investigative work. that my role and we have a team of about 10 now and we have xpanded the past couple of kpwhraoers but our main focus is writing and reporting and analysis 6789 be on the ed to

heritage foundation and now salem communication. hat can you tell us about salem? guest: it is a large company you town hall ned bought i think about 10 years ago and it was started in the 1990's at eritage foundation and trpbtd over to a for profit business when salem purchased it. a media company, a christian company and own lots of different media outhrefrplts the owners of a lot of big radio stations and radio hosts hosts. michael mendez, a lot of big hosts. and they have the website of the spectrum which now includes town hall.com and we have hot air.com. witchy, now we have a publishing company which publishes my first book but we own them. is a big media company and ave expanded from radio to online extensively in the past couple of years. that is their main role is media.

host: this book is published by threshold. but it is owned by simon shuster. they would rised publish a conservative book like this? guest: they are very tolerant withhey were great to work and my editor was actually a liberal democrat so it was fun him on some of the issues and challenges that we that he brought to my attention and arguments nd counterarguments that were made. i was happy to work with them and i thought that the process well. they have different divisions. i believe hillary clinton's book was published through simon shuster so the spectrum of wood.al is let me go to chapter four. the heading is credence

of camelot. the cretons were the men of the kennedy familiar you the at the history of kennedy familiar and men -- amily and men and it is not just one generation of disrespecting women not only in the women but as a whole and i into joe can't set the stadium with his treatment of is wife and you look at the consequences for the behavior of they had severe consequences on the women. many of them committed suicide, depressed. and of course we have the women that were abused outside of the including ily and she was apechne and killed left in a car to die by he had a nighter of too much fun even though she to loyal to him and willing

help the family but he left her will to cover his own tracks. just a ted kennedy moment. if you look at the kennedy they have a long history of domestic abuse and i think as america's ing first family that is upheld as politics of american and something to be celebrated saw at still do as we we 2012 d.n.c. convention should be looking at their history of women if they are women's be glorified as rights khaeurpls. hundreds of affairs, lovers on abusing using and women as if they are disposable. if they are going to champion women's rights we should look at that. creton number one is joseph content with his gifted the s he

world always had higher ambition seeking prominent spots in and ng and hollywood bed matic service and belonging to anyone on his long suffering wife rose. he was not around when alive. how do you know about this? guest: there is plenty of be done research to and i'm not the only one interested in their history. research you of can find out a lot about the iaries that have been leased from the can't men, some stories that were told about j.f.k. the white house, of course, stories that are told by kennedy se to the family and still are. and there is still a lot of besides the ones we know of the kennedy family we heard band they are justin held as this family of -- they are upheld and they have a very heavy influence in american democratic party and

i pint have been around when it but i still think it is woman as a young interested in politics. tkpwhrr five r peeve you have to look at them. two is john kennedy. he was disgrace if i don't have a headache y i get he once told a member of his cabinet so he decided not to chances. guest: you read the stories and find that j.f.k. was running around on his wife including inside the white house while she was there. disrespect on a level of just arrogance and shameless and yet we can take a look at his policies outside of upheld as this perfect figure for the democratic party and that is the championing women's rights and women's equality and this is the ty yet

kind of person who is glorified but he comes from joe kennedy this kind stage for of behavior. mamie ou do mention the alfred book that was written by 19 was n that at age inside the white house and said j.f.k. affair with how much coverage did this get in this country when her become out -- when her book came out? it? they pay attention to guest: they paid a decent amount. they took it n when they choose to uphold people. does.ot sure the kennedys do get a lot of ttention from the media even though they have these discrepancies. the question is not is it being cover whether the question is democrats are going to continue, will, to uphold a family that really has a bad istory when it comes to the

treatment of women as their while t the conventions claiming to be for women's rights. kennedy has the medal of freedom. creton number three. said to be more timid and family is a shame he ended joining the long list of unfaithful men and suggests that he had an affair with jackie. that is research that was done outside of my research and again so -- do you believe it? guest: i reported on it so i do believe it based on the history the family and ethics at play there. i certainly believe that was a possibility. reported been multiple times. it is land reported by -- it has een reported by significant sources and put forward by people closed to family and it at multiple outlets outside of just this book. evidence so ty of

show that was a possibility if not fact. host: you say thanked i think editor for over this issue of the kennedy was difficult his standpoint to include all of this? guest: i don't think so. necessarilyk it was difficult. i think that we may have some disagreements about what is fair gymnasium and what isn't -- what is gather game and what isn't he thought it fwas fair and make in ments they public and the way they treatment women behind closed oors was important to get out there. >> number now is woman's champion ted kennedy. you say you are a member of that organization. guest: the reason is i was doing research for this book and i going to do m research i needed to do a lot of eporting and get my feet into the organizations so i wanted to attend the in the organization for women conference in chicago

the only way you can do that is to become a member or go through the press. and tried to get in as a member of the press onsidering i'm credentialed on capitol hill and done this work in washington as a reporter and credentials as a member of the press despite eing a female member who was interested in learning more there conference and people involved in their organization. so, i tkpwgot the day before i to go i decided to go and go to chicago and discovered the the only way to attend national organization for women conference is to become a member. i became a member, something i thought i would do but i have been a member since i believe 2013. and i have been a member ever since. host: are they a nonprofit? i believe a re 501-c-3. they allowed to be in politics? guest: i believe so. like they are in

politics. they heavily endorse certain positions, not necessarily candidates. i know that is the difference terms of .r.s. in details of what you can and do.'t they endorse certain political perceptions that fall on the they are interested in endorsing women who have a different perspective than they do. your problem, back to creton number four, steady kennedy? guest: we go back to the idea for the book came from was the d.n.c. convention when they were showing this tribute video passed ecause he had away and portraying him as a when s rights champion left a young woman to drown in his car. if he had not gone back for nine hours and tried to save his own she would have probably survived. ou can't do an entire video at

a convention claim to be preaching and fighting about the glorify men and somebody like that while not including that part of his life video about his women's rights record. i think that should be discuss people should be reminded of because ted kennedy ot a pass when it comes to claiming his for women when he left one to die in his car and of a really pay that big consequence for it. he didn't run for president of hat but he also has been glorified and hiaoe lionized by party.atic if they want to glorify almost we can criticize him on his women.when it comes to host: let me share the other side of this. 2009.s from june of it is the former governor of sanford who a mark is now a congressman from there. [video clip] been unfaithful to my wife who has evolved a with a, what

friend from dear argenti argentina. as i an very innocently suspect many of these with a asual e-mail back and forth in advice on one's life there and advice here. here recently over the last year developed into something much more than that. h as a consequence, i hurt her, i hurt you all. i hurt my wife. business. i hurt friends like tom davis. different folks. all i can say is i monthly >>. -- all i can say is i apologize. a conservative, he was located. idn't seem to bush was

re-elected of at any time seem to bother people there. guest: he was the governor at in 2009 when he came out to talk about 24 i'm republicans and their own affairs. ut the difference here is that mark sanford is not being leader of his e eye or like bill clinton who campaigning for candidates all over the country. mark sanford is not doing that. defending the in ivings of politicians general. the difference is the media has higher standard for republicans and i think that the difference is too inside the type of people are not necessarily glorified at a bill clinton or ted kennedy are. and how much of this is republicans are accused of being

holier than thou moral his particular christian and they do there and are still re-elected. guest: i think america is a very giving countries. they give both democrats and epublicans and do forgive republicans who do come from more conservative districts mistakes they he make. but again the difference is the way the media treats them and claim to behat they fighting for. when you have people like bill accused of sexual assault who is part of a movement on the left that claims freedom of ng this women is difficult to stomach because they don't add up when to the people they speak for and things they claim terms of women's equality and rights. host: here is another republican, a different kind of but it is in the same area we are talking about. to run for -- he says

he is going to run for got of 2 2015.a in [video clip] >> david vitter made his first ublic appearance after being caught up in the d.c. madam sex scandal. senate's ne of the most kevin to have members and long can campaigned for part of his s platform of strict family values, defense of marriage. a t week he admitted in statement he had made some serious mistakes. his wifehe senator and spoke for the first time since. the story from chip reid. republican louisiana senator david vitter accompanied by his publicndy made his first appearance today since admitting one week ago that he had been inked to an alleged prostitution ring. i want to again offer my deep apologies to all those i have let down and disappointed

these actions from my past. and ompletely responsible i'm so very, very sorry. host: you also have some harsh to say by eliot spitzer who was in the same situation with the d.c. madam. is your reaction to -- he won re-election in 2010. reaction is this is again in 2010 i'm not justifying the action of republicans. my book is about discussing things with the immediate don't want to talk -- media in the left don't want to talk about and about the of women and continuation they want to talk bout when the issues are abortion and contraception but they some rate these things and ow these people to run the party. vitter is ation -- not upheld. for him or anych republican or democrat that behaves that way.

prostitution is a horrible things and men on the left or right should be scrutinize and for it.d but they happen on both sides. 2012 barackre is in obama's campaign specifically used the war on women argument and that iselection where this idea came trfrplt promising based on false things for policy, using terry tatements like mcauliffe about the 78 cents on the dollar argument which has debunked in terms of women getting paid as much as men. using more than any campaign barack obama used the war on the book is pushing back and pointing that they on't practice necessarily what they preach and talk about women in one way in public and differently than they treat them behind closed doors. ost: you wrote it is tpwhoepbl -- known hillary clinton feels a hated divisive political figure

by people on iar the left and right until her usband's cheating with monica ewinsky made everyone feel for her. guest: she was not a popular person in washington, d.c. clinton sex ll scandal began cropping up before president and during while he was playing around with oval lewinsky in the office. hillary clinton built a career playing the victim card and for someone who claims to be war on women you you don't have to go do bill history.s you can thalk about her history at state department where she address allegations of sexual abuse by ambassadors the state ide department, whistle blowers were deliberately retaliated against chief of staff charlene amb for speaking out against

sexual misgivings an sexual abuse going on around the world. a lot of abuse she never addressed and tried to rush under the rug before she left the state department. then there is -- this is not in is the story here where she was laughing about child rapist off charges when she was working as an attorney 30 years ago. we can look at her career that was built on putting up -- fill land deterring philandering husband but when you look at her record as many a of girls and women her record at the state department that.pposite of >> r host: how calculating is your language in the book to get with you to buy there book? i will give you an example. easy, just be this look at the crowd creeps and liars who lead the democratic today. i am not just talking about

allege rapist who his his -- can i see you sitting at your typewriter the more strident i the book will sell? guest: i don't think what you inaccurate. i think it is all true. when you write book you want obviously.uy it but i think that in the language t speaksor itself and language and section you read is accurate. i don't think it is nonfactual at which is heavily documented the actions of the like thecluding others mayor of san diego for a long congressman and good friends with nancy pelosi and up his abuse of

female veterans victims of rape awful military and awful, stuff. that people here in d.c. on the their way to of cover until they couldn't do it. it language is there because is accurate an time people not sugar coat it. how often have you come in contact with people who are town to this kind of lifestyle? a lot of time outside washington, d.c. people ask me if house of cards it s. that i say hams all the time and on both sides of the aisle. but i do not personally come in contact with that type of choose to cause i spend my time outside of the beltway. who were your role models besides your aunt? uest: my mother played a huge role in the upbringing of my life. she is this strong independent career o started her working for the grand canyon

had ay and was in p.r. and her own business. then she went off to be a at northern arizona and then started her own businesses. she's been a person to look to paving your own way and doing things with strength confidence and with and really taking risks in life to do things differently than would.people she's certainly someone who i look up to. models that are not of ssarily female my father cour course, my boss at town hall has really great example of how to run an organization, allow employees to pursue their own interests because it country as l to the a whole. a lot ofd me to pursue different opportunities that has

been helpful and he's been helpful. or two ad a professor ho i thought were helpful in navigating the college campus atmosphere and determining how forward. there are organizations that helped me develop who i am. is an merica foundation organization that helped me get down the path of wanting to go and go into journalism and learn how to do these things. there is a lot of them. i'm very grateful for all the people that came into my life to show me things. i had the privilege of, couple of h the past years. when i was greg up i remember watching -- growing up i watching her as a press secretary and now that i get to she helped me nd ant mentored me i'm grateful for that. lots of people i have learned from and looked up to and who have served as role i els and the people who don't necessarily agree with who

i don't get along with taught me lessons. host: i see you quoted you might for senate running in arizona in 22022. yes.t: 2022, john mccain will run for re-election in 2016 so i said if there in 2022 i might take a shot. host: what is the difference his?een your politics and guest: when i say i want to secure the border i actually mean it. when he is interested in getting re-elected and then -- does silly things. there is a different topic. respect the time he's had in the senate but i think this rizona girl just like a lot of arizonans are a little tired of his false promises not coming to when it comes to the best interests being played out inside the beltway. in a speech u are

back in july of this year, i 19, at the western conservative summit talking called mething that is crony capitalism. [video clip] don't like the idea when a is put off es up it and i see where it comes from ecause when you have been in power 30 years you don't want it to be taken. back to the point i made at the i think that we really have to take a serious look at here the fight on right complements -- comes from and a there that big of difference. it is time for big government republicans to take a hard look voting and hey are they are really in bed with crony capitalism. people who have been in the senate or congress new 0 years to pooh-pooh

when irom the grassroots don't think washington is working well. host: what is wrong with crony capitalism? guest: everything. it doesn't allow the free market to work. it unfair. it makes it almost impossible businessesas and new and really innovative ideas to economy and gh the system. it is a real problem when you government in bed with big corporations. i would say big government and s big corporations those corporations are never going to go away. i think that is something that people on the left and right in common in terms of relationships t between the federal government and contractors and also big the car r example, or companies. because it doesn't allow the little guy to function. what the american dream is about allowing the little guy to have a chance. hen you have the government backing up big corporations and

having that power behind them it really cause as lot of problems american people and for people who really want to start businesses of their own. obama seeing this with care with the government now working directly with insurance mandating people have insurance. the insurance companies love it ecause everyone has to buy insurance. i c it happens on both sides and problem ns have a huge when it comes to falling into that same trap of claiming they about the free market but when it comes to the people they are working with inside scratching their backs because they will get a campaign donation or a policy they can to push their agenda. i think it is a big problem that needs to be solved by limiting government. host: what do you think mitch ckoblg will do as -- mcconnell will do? guest: he has a long things of doing. terms of crony capitalism i'm not sure much will be done. he has of obama care

talked about eliminating some of the unpopular parts thereafter hich will help in a sense of breaking up the relationship between the tkpwfrpt and insurance -- government and insurance companies. he has a long list of other priorities ahead of with crony capitalism first. host: in 2012 morning joe talked that you write about in your back. we will watch a minute and get reaction. [video clip] there to ht introduce a young woman president obama contrast between his policy and the way at the impact women. his re-election campaign launched the life of julia a x fixal character. tell us about her. >> one thing the hundreds of young people in the chicago is create viral pieces of content for the web, people will share. this one maybe viral in the rong way and is bigger on the republican side than on the

democratic side. the life of julia takes her from age three to age 67 and at every oint along the way the government is giving her a hand. student loans, a business loan, a web designer the government helps with her retirement so she can work garden.munity host: do you remember what your reaction was when you first saw this and what was the impact of it? guest: i don't remember my womanon as a young single who the obama administration was trying to target with this ad of appalled and offended they would think young women like me the government to subsidize my life from cradle to grave. what they don't explain in the julia is a life of ependency what that was trying to portray is dependency is empowerment when it is the opposite. on the government for

everyone limits freedom and equality of and life and there was no involvement there in terms of your doing anything on own and pursuing the american dream. it was getting everything from a government that doesn't care julia. where was theg is life of john. why wasn't that obama campaign felt like they only needled to make a life of julia and are the only side of the gender spectrum that need to be helped their entire life. thought it was dishonest and detrimental and not a portrayal of what life is really like complete dependency of the nment and to use argument i thought it was sexest a lifehey didn't produce of john and see how he would be helped from age three until his death. host: did it work?

guest: i think the life of julia backfired in itself but i think whole absolutely the war on women argument worked. of n't think that the life ependency really feels that -- don't think it really was that effective. i don't think voters want to go government for everything when it came to targeted issues ike contraception it was providing free contraception that works because the left used to and trpbtd on the right argue that the right wanted to and was fouledception george ght up by stephanopoulous and it targeted doing with government things for women but that ad in general was thoroughly rejected women across the country. host: the right gets very upset media and ainstream politics of the mainstream media. but if you look at salem your own ions

operation the head of salem ran republican, he is very much involved in politics. he host on the programs from medvez are o michael the republican and p only time on the radio stations for candidates. f you gets so upset about the mainstream media why was the right wing media do the same thing? guest: i think there's is a difference between conservative talk radio and journalism say by "new york times" or "washington post." why?: guest: because the "washington post" and "new york times" middle much pld of the road moderate outlets that don't have a bias we i has bias with "new york times" or "washington post" or salem communications. be honest.ould all people know i'm a conservative journalist and reporter and writer. i'm happy to offer opinions and

right opinion columns but i'm interested in pursuing fast and furious like the first become. people know where i'm coming from which is a more transparent "new an pretending lake york times" or "washington post" that they are straight news straight news when we all have biases and they can come in many forms. give you an example, i as a conservati reporter will probably cover the food stamp issue differently than a liberal reporter. necessarily because we are thinking i'm a kevin ctive and i have a -- i'm a i have cover nd but we are wired differently. some that can re moderate but in general the bias is there and if we can open whereut it and understand we are coming from we can have a

more honest and open debate. write about do you got insurance.com. i will say it again. insurance.com. we will put up on the screen an example. this is let's get physical and you can explain what in is. in that copy that you cannot say he's hot let's hopes an easy as this birth control and covers.tting between the what is this and what did you write about? guest: this was an advertisement campaign that was put out by farress colorado which is a left group and they were trying to promote obama care and trying promote, quote, free contraception option available. people behind the ad were male and to me it completely opposite of what feminists say they want. it objectifies women and shows they are only useful for

sexual opportunity, not judging their ased on what is in brain but by the kind of pills they take and they are really women by y defining the pills they take and not only a huge step also back in terms of how we think of portray why you would women in a sense of they are only interested in getting the sheets between s opposite of what the 1960's movement was about and early 900's feminist movement was about. if the less argues you don't objective phi women you can't have that advertisement showing women as only useful for one thing. host: here is another called surance. he has a keg and kegs stands are crazy. not having health insurance is crazier.

to cap in your beer money cover those bills. what is the point of this? guest: trying to get shall this to get young people into the bomb care exchanges people the healthy young are supposed to subsidize the insured people but the reason it is ridiculous is portrays young men as buffer gones and some of bush buff tppbs and some might be that way also this irresponsibility not wanting to buy the extra beer pay your health comes down to t left saying to young people don't worry about prioritizing growinged and being an adult and having personal responsibility. make sure you are paying into ultimately that is going to be subsidized by axpayers so you don't have to

pap in tap into your beer money. t is ridiculous and a distraction of what they are trying to do is take away personal responsibility. your book came out in july but you write about bill cosby. why? in the news recently we have seen bill cosby has come back into the news of some allegations of sexual abuse and rape throughout career.rse of his wrote about him in this becook far before the new allegations that are really old allegations are coming to fruition. i talk about him in the sense of the overall argument of how treats women and o'clock phis women and full of claim to be viewing women for -- as human beings but you look at stories told about how directors treat young girls or they are going to portray and careers women are expected and when hollywood they have a situation like maybe

-- ody like bill comes cosby they are told to shut up hollywood is protecting the old boys club. there are a lot of interviews in women who worked hollywood who experienced those situations. but i wrote about bill cosby. has been given a pass for a long time by hollywood and maybe one. time he won't be given but hollywood in general has a behavior ushing that by powerful men in the have. another who i is his behavior nly not old condoned but celebrated people like by woody allen and the oscars. who they f people uphold as liberal -- liberals who are supposed to be treating women as more than objects are doing the

opposite of that inside hollywood. so that is why he is in the book. host: you quote arch liberal excused the erg incident an roman polanski. not rape-rape she said on "the view" but i don't rape-rape. was guest: this goes back to the for ent how the standard republicans is much higher with the press in terms of what they things wed to say about like rape than for rib rails. goldberg is an example. if you had a republican say one who incorrectly for his ondemned comments about rape in 2012, she accountable for that. shes just that not only did make the comments but hollywood not as le viewed it

rape-rape even though the girl was unaged and horrible escriptions of what happened and that allows it to happen again. when the people who inside especially women are not willing to stand up to that rape, it was wrong and where do we give him a an again. host: another you write about is hbo series. why has lena dunham been so popular popular with less her new book and discussions sister like a her sexual predator the way she her little sister into doing very strange things with her. dunham ink that lena before there point of ontroversy has gotten a lot of controversy because she does things for effect. she writes things and appears inside her show. a portrays young women in way that is helpless and needy

portrays essful and this disshelfed life as something that should be living off your parents is ok. she's had that success because of the shock value. at some point shock value runs out and i think that people are olding her accountable for her actions she once thought were it y which are not when comes to standard of not objectifying women as if they re only good for sexual activity. host: when it your life did you know you were a conservative? guess i get that question. i think i always knew. it was really a kitchen table thing. they never sat me down and differences between liberal or conservative, democratic or republican but things e talking about that were affecting our family. small business. i was learning as an observer when was six i wrote a letter to bill clinton about tax it cy and explained to him

was unfair he was spending our spend his.e couldn't so whether i knew it or not i politics nate about and interested how certain policies affected my family and families around me. near the end. become you talk about single -- you the end of the book said you noticed tactics to woo to le voters are similar those in dating world and a eral democrats pull up in shiny car and offer false throw around a lot of cash.

host: what do the republicans do? guest: what? when you are dating a republican what is the difference? guest: it wasn't necessarily dating a liberal. comparing the behavior of necessarily n't who are mething to interested in flattery. compliments and praise for personal begin. ou mentioned obama care and obama care was sold to women as this amazing program that was access toet them more healthcare and doctors and cheaper insurance and when we these opposite for women. we have seen premiums increase seven out of0% and 10 dollars retiring early ncluding doctors who are specializing in women's health issues. e have seen the networks of doctors who are available, treatments that are available to women shrink.

it is -- they said you are things get these free and great programs and cheaper and wooed women into voting for hem in 2012 and now we have a piece of legislation that has had detrimental effect on women in general.health host: we will not hold you to -- your if you were to instincts as to who will be after 2016, who do you think it will be? can i give you a options? host: sure. guest: i think that hillary clinton is going to run. don't think she will win. i think she's a bad candidate. some statements she made she's not as great as people make her out to be. on the republican side, who i want to see as president? like scott walker. tk -- y like bobby indian

jindal. and mike patton. i thinking they would make great leaders and good presidents and heir executive experience as governors would be more helpful in terms of cleaning up the mess over the past eight years with than maybe ama someone who has been in the senate. i would prefer a governor. would your reaction if general bush were the candidate? guest: republicans are going to and hillary clinton will win. host: why? guest: because if you look at in pattern of behavior history of republican candidates over the past couple of residential cycles we have run candidates similar to general bush. romney, john mccain twice. although general bush has some has though general bush some things he doesn't have a he is ative base and similar it candidates and a lot of baggage comes with his last the and i don't think country will vote for another bush in office. editor tie pavlich news
