refrigerate butter. okay. again, thanks for watching us tonight. ms. is next. we're definitely looking out. i'm megyn kelly. what a show we have tonight. >> ugly palout after the university pulls an honorary degree, rejecting a woman trying to shine the light on abuse to women and some muslims. >> it's difficult to explain western society. >> a kelly exclusive, the most powerful muslim group in america and the woman they successfully targeted. plus, the president today made time for a memorial service at fort hood, but what he did after is causing some critics to attack. and then, forbes named her the sixth most powerful woman in the

world in 2013. >> so you were raised in a normal family? you don't grow up with tons of dough? >> my interview with cheryl sand burg on politics, power and women in the workplace. a big night on the kelly file starts now. p blah. breaking tonight, ugly new fall out after brand dice university bows to pressure and abruptly yanks an honor for an advocate of muslim's rights. welcome to the "kelly file" i'm megyn kelly. a somali born american known for her support of advancing women's rights worldwide and specifically her harsh criticism of the treatment of women within some islamic societies. she was personally subjected

genital mutilation and still receiving death threats for speaking out against the practices. she recently received attention for her work on the film "honor diaries" a documentary that sheds this light on the violence against muslim women. >> by law, they have the power to stop you from leaving the house. from working, from choosing your own mate. >> grand dice university was prepared to give her an honorary degree and speak at the graduation but the school yesterday with drew the offer suddenly under pressure from ms. ali's detractors. mali is here and will join me live in a moment. but first, one of the group's leading the successful effort against her is the counsel on american islamic relations of c.a.r.e. i spoke with the director just

before we came to air. thank you for being here. so why would -- >> thanks for having me. >> why would you oppose recognition of a speaker who is attempting to call attention to women's rights in the muslim world? >> well, first of all, she doesn't do just that. she says that islam itself has to be defeated, not radical islam, she said islam period must be defeated. she says that muslim schools in america should be shut down, that the constitution should be changed so that muslims in america don't have civil liberties. >> here is my question for you, i see your point. she's been critical of islam, muslims in general. >> yeah. >> if she had limited her criticism to radical islam, to radicalize muslims, would you have felt differently? >> first of all, this isn't a first amendment issue. she speaks all the time. she just spoke in canada. she speaks all over the place, and we don't say boo about it.

but when a prestigious university is about to honor her and endorse her views, that's when we spoke out. you'll notice the professors and the inner faith community and students all agreed. she wasn't the right person to receive an honor. >> it's not true there is considerable push back and continues today -- >> there is a couple -- >> [ overlapping speakers ] >> let me ask you this, sir, let me ask you this, sir, you say when the criticism, that when she has spoken out in the past, you haven't said boo but that's not exactly true, mr. hooper because as we showed in the introduction, she was featured in a documentary called "honor diaries" and your group has been -- >> our objection -- [ overlapping speakers ] >> may i finish my question and i'll give you the floor -- [ overlapping speakers ] >> but the audience doesn't but the audience doesn't. your group is pushing to shut down screenings of that film

featured at the jeannie va -- >> and before -- >> excuse me mr. hooper, let me finish the question and then i'll give you the floor, okay? you have been pushing to shut down the screenings -- >> well your premise is wrong -- >> that you don't say boo when she speaks out in other forums. >> it had nothing to do with her being in the film. actually, it has a lot to do with her being the executive producer and therefore showing what this film is really all about. it's about demonizing islam and marge wilizing american islams. we condemn genital mutilation, we condemn any kind of abuse to muslims or any muslim women in the world. we're on record of that. it's about hijacking a legitimate issue to demonize islam and marginalize islam.

>> sir, the response to your push, your group's push to silence that film that features her and -- >> the producer of the film. >> i've done you the courtesy, i appreciate the same. what i'm saying is you claim that you don't like the group behind that film. i understand. you don't like the messenger. it's the same question in both cases. >> because the message of that film is hate muslims, hate islam. that's what it is designed to do. if you go to the website it's a sour of anti muslim hate. that's what they are about -- >> but now you're back on the messenger. >> you have to see who the messenger is to determine what the real agenda is of the message. >> do you? or does the film stand on its own or fall on its own? you're trying to stop the message from being heart. >> if you had neo-nazis doing a

film, i think you would say hey, i suspect the motives here. >> you say tonight you call this a victory over hate that the university has withdrawn this offer and call this woman an extremist and ms. ali a biggit however, your critics point out that that may not be entirely true. there are a couple of instances, number one after 9/11, immediately after 9/11 -- >> starting the c.a.r.e. bashing -- >> i'm going to give you the chance to respond. okay? that's what we do here. you've had these criticisms come on our show, the air and many other settings and i want to give you the chance to respond. >> yeah, all over the internet -- >> okay. i know. everything is a hate site if it doesn't come from you. your critics say that you refuse to condemn osama bin laden right after the 9/11 attacks, knowing he was a terrorist at the time. >> no, no -- >> you refuse to denounce hamas.

you told the "washington post" it's not our job to go around doing that. >> we've condemned every organization that's on the list of terrorist designated by the u.s. government, but again -- >> why did you tell the "washington post" you wouldn't condemn hamas. >> you claim that you don't want to attack the messenger but this is what happens every time a muslim comes on. you start this game playing -- >> you just told me -- >> public record, 20 years -- >> sir, you -- >> we've been one of the most public organizations in the country. if you have something specific that we have said or done in 20 years of putting our message out there, please tell me. >> okay. sir -- >> what is it -- >> you just told me -- >> object to -- >> you just -- >> excuse me, now it's my turn. now it's my turn. sir, you just told me that the

messenger matters. you just made that point. i'm giving you that. if the messenger matters, then care matters and care, according to u.s. senator chuck schumer -- >> take -- >> excuse me, excuse me mr. hooper -- >> and that was just part one. tomorrow you will see how mr. hooper responded when challenged about care's tactics for attacking some of its critics and we'll have a little discussion about the criticism that they have faced. we also asked to speak with the university president frederick m. lawrence shown here. the school refused to make anyone available. our offer still stands. right now we're joined by the woman at the center of this. she's a fellow at the bellford center at the harvard kennedy school and my gust now. good to have you here. can i get your reaction to that exchange that i just had with mr. hooper? >> well, first of all, megyn, i

really do appreciate. i want to say kudos for calling mr. hooper out on all of these things. i have -- boo is very gentle but for the last 12 years, i have systematically been condemned by muslim individuals, muslim organizations, relatives, any time that i bring up the treatment of women in islam or the link between, it's muslims who commit violence against women or others who bring the a koran on the table. i was brought up in the religion of islam. it is my father and mother's mortality. let's talk about it. you have these organizations like care and mr. hooper who

deny this and frankly, i don't think that mr. hooper speaks for muslims. i don't think that he speaks for muslim women because as you see on the film and as you see in the general use, there is a lot of violence going on in muslim countries and amongst muslims as immigrants in western countries. that should be addressed. i don't think they are the right people to do it. >> let me ask you this because what he was saying and what bran dice university used as the excuse to pull your honorary degree and boot you out of the commencement ceremony is other statements. they claim you are too general in your criticisms of muslim and islam saying violence is inherent in islam. it's a destructive cult of death. they claim at the university those statements were a bridge too far. >> i've given interviews on

muslim, muslim and the west, muslim and violence in the past 12 years. what these students have done, i'm used to it, they take lines from various interviews. this was from 2007 and tie all these things together to fit their own narrative. what the muslim organizations and the student groups have done, that doesn't surprise me. i'm used to it. everywhere i go, every single time i do a public speaking, i meet with some form of process along those lines. what surprised me is the decision by brandeis first to say we want to give you this honor. we know what you do, and in the age of google, all of that is out of there. it's all public. and to come around and say we really didn't know some of these things, i think it's an excuse. i don't want this to distract us from what i wanted to say during that commencement, which is to

tell these students how incredibly privileged they are, especially the female students among them day are growing up in a world of education. it's offensive, it's maybe whatever they call it insulting, sometimes they call itcomme controversial. we send them to school to be confronted with ideas that they are not comfortable with. >> do you feel brandeis is engaging in a double standard because they gave honorary degrees to controversial figures including tony kusnyer and others and they, you know, people have pushed back against them for making some comments

that have been perceived as anti jewish and yet, there was no problem. they gave them degrees and not you and amad went and spoke and i don't remember objecting to that. >> i think if you insult jews in this country,ou insult christia christians mormons, you get people that will write to you about their outrage, but there is always this fear that if you insult muslims, there is going to be some kind of violence repercussion. that may have been part of the decision to do that, but they are not doing their students favors and they are not doing the muslim students any favors because to really be a simulated into american society, to become american is to accept the idea that you can have a robust debate and there is no other place better to do that than on

university campuses, and the decision of brandeis university makes me sad. >> well, mr. hooper and i got into it about what our first amendment really stands for and whether it's about shutting down speech or allowing it. that part will air tomorrow night. you're a brave woman. i know you've been threatened specifically with death a number of times. it's outrageous and we appreciate you and your courage in coming on the broadcast tonight. >> thank you megyn. >> unbelievable. we're taking your thoughts on it. follow me at megyn kelly and go to facebook.com/the kelly file. set your dvrs for tomorrow. speaking of facebook, a big exclusive tonight, this time with one of the most powerful women in the world. facebook executive, cheryl sand burg, the chiefs operations officer joins me live with an eye-opening look at women, power and the workplace, plus after a

computer business pioneer lost his job for donating to a group that opposed gay marriage, the folks that helped run him out of office now have to explain why one of their very own leaders did the same thing. plus, president obama today attended the memorial for those killed at fort hood but it's where he went afterward that is sparking serious controversy tonight. >> i don't know how you leave such a solum event and then within hours you're glad handing, fundraising as if you can turn it off and turn it on. can turn it off and turn it on. i'm a simple question:sgrace an in retirement, will you outlive your money? uhhh. no, that can't happen. that's the thing, you don't know how long it has to last. everyone has retirement questions. so ameriprise created the exclusive.. confident retirement approach. now you and your ameripise advisor can get the real answers you need.

a developing controversy for the president tonight after attending a memorial for the fort hood soldiers killed and wounded one week ago today, just a few hours later he was back in the air making his way to not one but two fundraisers in a move a radio host says is nothing less than a quote disgrace. >> the president is actually spending more time fundraising in texas than honoring those who were murdered at fort hood at the memorial ceremony. i'm sorry, ladies and gentlemen, i believe this man is a

disgrace. >> joining me know now is pete and joe is a former presidential campaign manager, both are fox news contributors. >> he's on to something. part of the reason he's on to it is because this is a pattern, megyn. the optics of this are a pattern veterans and military members have seen reported time and time again. walk in, shake hands, take a photo, move on. same thing in fort hood. we never admit that was a terrorist attack. here we are five years later still not pinning purple hearts on them. tell them they you are going to leave. no wonder the troops rate him 25 points lower than president george w bush's gut he's there for a reason they relate to but the president, feels like a photo op and when you do that and go straight to a campaign event it reinforces that. >> why don't his advisors say mr. president, this is not a good idea to have the fundraiser

on the same day? >> look, i think that, you know, mark understandably doesn't, you know, would think the president was wrong no matter what he did. i think one of the things going on here, i watched the service this morning, and i thought the president was remarkably comforting the families, talking to veterans. and then, i think, i suspect millions of americans who watched that are right now at the houston astros game or the texas rangers game or the dallas stars game or the houston rockets games and games all over america tonight and there is going to be, i would hope, a moment of silence at those games, but they went on. they are having a great evening, and the really sad part is whether that moment of silence tonight is for those who lost their lives at fort hood or for 19 children in pennsylvania who were stabbed today. but i mean, i think the

president, all of us as americans were at that event, saw the president, watched it but then we -- people didn't -- the nb -- the major league baseball did not cancel all the games -- >> it's not about the coverage. it's about the president's actions. we at fox news carried that whole event live today. >> i know, that's where i watched it -- b >> but now there is a distraction, because pete, we didn't talk about this on the night of the fort hood shootings when he went to the fund raisings. he had a couple that night. here we are on the memorial and again -- >> just like we were talking after benghazi and the next day he's in california for a fundraiser. we should have seen it coming on a campaign trail during the financial collapse he's off to hollywood this is something we've seen. he's done three times as much fundraising in the second term as george w. bush or clinton,

three times as much as ronald reagan, as well. this guy is political to his core. he's demonstrated that. a day like this where it should be sacred and stand alone as its owner vent, they can't get out of their own way to more fundraising, more campaigning. i think he does turn the switch on and off. i think this president has a way of doing it. problem is optics again reinforce the wrong message. >> last word, joe. >> i could give you a long list of republicans tonight having fundraisers here in washington d.c. -- >> but not the president of the united states. >> they just happen to be members of congress who ahappen to represent all of us. >> good to see you both. >> thank you. >> thank you. forbes named her the sixth most powerful woman in the world. up next, the coo of ♪ [ banker ] sydney needed some financial guidance so she could take her dream to the next level.

well, forbes calls her one of the most powerful women in the world. she's coo of facebook and author of what she calls a sort of feminist manifesto. tonight in a kelly file exclusive, cheryl sasheryl sand

here to talk about her book. >> thanks for having me. >> feminist manifesto. >> when i was writing it, i wasn't sure what it was. here is what i'm sure of, the world has been run by men for far too long and i think we get to better decisions if women's voices were equally heard. >> so you're raised in a normal family. you didn't grow up with tons of dough although she's almost a billionaire. you are raised in a normal family. turn out to be smart. go to harvard, graduate, go to google, facebook, rise up the ranks. why didn't you sit back and enjoy your money and success? why did you have to become a new-aged feminist? >> i wasn't for a long time because i followed the rules as i thought i was supposed to. you never talk about being a woman in corporate america.

if you talk about being a woman, someone thinks you're watching and thinks you're going to sue them. i was watching and we're almost the same age. i thought it would be equal. i came into the work force, my peers were equal men and women and i looked above me and it was almost men. i thought our generation would change that. decade after decade i looked around and i was one of the only women in the room and now often the only women in the room. our sons and daughters deserve equal opportunity. i think we can get together to get to a better and more equal world. >> we had the president and democrats come out and say we need to change the rules for equal pay for women. the labor department puts it on five or six cents to the dollar. do you think legislation is the answer? in your book you talk about how the threat of legal action shuts the conversations down as opposed to encouraging them in the workplace setting. >> i think there is a lot that can be done across the board.

i think it's good the president took steps, but it's not enough and in ordinary tore close the gap, we need all kinds of things to happen. we don't just need public policy reform. we need corporations to have the right policies and look how they are paying men and women and we need women to negotiate for themselves. >> let's talk about that because you -- the book that you wrote originally, "lean in" and "lean in for graduates" focused on what can we do? look inside yourself and ask yourself whether you're being your own best advocate. down to the essence, what are young women supposed to do and older women differently in the workplace setting? >> the pay gap. young women come into the work force, makes less than men out of college and that gap continues. they need to negotiate for themselves but differently. when men negotiate for themselves, everyone is fine with it because we expect men to advocate for themselves, but when women negotiate they can

face a backlash because we don't expect it. we have to do it differently. a compensation expert writes a great chapter in the new book. she asks women specifically things to do. for example, use more language, we, not i. explain what you're advocating for compensation. >> we need some more money, we dezfg it. >> we do deserve it, right? >> right. here is a good example. >> i think my boss would be on to that. >> we would like to sign a new deal. >> here is an example and it works and its true. i think i need to get paid more more because not only is it important for me but it will help me do a better job because with the extra income i'll be able to. >> let me dial you back before the negotiating table because you write in your book and i agree with you, that there is something that happens to us as women way beyond that moment in the negotiation that tells us to behave in a way that is undermining the results. >> exactly right. exactly right. all over the world, all over

this country, despite whatever our different views are, our stereo types of men and women are actually the same. we expect men to be leaders and assertive and ambitious and it starts really young. >> we want to be liked, not necessarily -- >> that's right. >> -- respected. >> we face a trade off where men don't. when men are successful and powerful, they get more liked as they get more successful and more powerful. when women get more successful and powerful, they are less liked. men don't have that trade off. they can negotiate and become ceo. >> you've seen it in your role in very powerful positions at very big companies, you talk about women not taking a seat around the table, literally sitting at the seats behind the table and talk about the research they need to do and the salaries people are making. you go in there and say look, this is what i deserve.

you have to take control of your situation as opposed to sitting back and waiting for someone to fix it for you. >> as a woman, you have to be smart about it. this is what i deserve. this is why it's going to help me and you so that we can change those stereo types. >> but they exist in so many forms. you -- >> so many forms. >> you took criticism earlier this year for a campaign you unleashed called ban bossy because sheryl said boss si. it affected you. you said it still sticks with you and people didn't like this campaign. they didn't want you to ban things. they wanted you to be more inclusive. >> staying bossy was important with the girl scouts and getting to a critical issue, by middle school more boys than girls want to lead and if you ask them why, the girls don't want to lead because they don't want to by disliked and be called bossy so we put out information for

parents, managers, girls, some of whom are six and don't have the option of reclaiming a word. instead, what being bossy was about is making us aware that we start discouraging girls early. >> uh-huh. >> i tell parents, don't say your daughter is bossy. say instead your daughter has executive leadership skills. >> it's so far beyond that. when i saw the campaign, i understand they said who cares if you say bossy or not. it's so far beyond telling little girls they are bossy when they are strong. a have a four-year-old boy and a three-year-old girl and eight month old boy and the super heroes -- i asked my team to pull a couple examples to make the point. look how they portray superman versus super gill. superman and super girl but the super girl has midriff showing, huge breasts, about sex appeal.

superman has broad shoulders, strong, from three years old that's out there and in our kids' heads. >> that's right. there was a hospital in la that have little doctor uniforms for the boy, green scrubs, future doctor. for the girl, pink scrubs future nurse. these messages are starting early. what being bossy is about is making us aware of the messages and changing them. an example, by middle school, parents have higher aspirations of leadership than daughters and talk about futures differently. most parents when they think about it have a lot of leaderships for their kids of different genders. for girls, what is happening in classrooms, when there is group projects, girls do more of the work and boys get more credit. that will feel familiar to women in corporate america because that same pattern goes into the workplace. >> what i liked about your campaign, you know the ban bossy thing, the one thing that appealed to me, you had people

from both sides of the isle on it. rice, bipartisan. i think one of the problems that has stalled the feminist movement, the women's movement, what have you, many people on the right perceive it as too uninclusive of the way they view the world, and the poster person for this has been gloria. i know you like her. she's been very critical of women like sarah palin and michele bachmann. they are said women only a man could love and that's been a turn off to women. how are you approaching this issue in a way that would be more inclusive? >> if we want to get to equality and we have to, it has to be all of us. men, women of all different races background and political views working together. when we founded the foundation,

i found it along with the book, our idea was to build an online community. we welcome women, men, small groups that meet, i think ten people once a month to lean in together. they come in all, shapes, forms and sizes of all views. we have them, you know, in the most liberal campuses and all ages and backgrounds and they can work together. >> have you ever talked to her? i know you know her and know some of these iconic feminist. is it not possible given issues on abortion and so on. the two sides are so opposed? >> we have to find a way to come together. let's take feminist -- >> i don't like it. >> american women, are you a feminist, 24% say yes. if you say it means you're for

equality are you a feminist, the majority all of a sudden say yeah. >> women like gloria embody the feminist movement in the minds of many. there are pictures of her out there with the shirt i had an abortion. and then she's out there bashing everybody on the right, and it makes people who are independent minded think, you know what? i'm not really going to align myself with this person and this brand of feminists. you're challenged because it doesn't seem like anybody else is standing up and wanting to make these points for women right now except for you. you're one of the main people doing it. that's your challenge, being more inclusive. >> i think we can come together and do it and circles are it. our golfs to have a thousand circles. there are 16,000 circles -- >> are you big on abortion, contraception? >> the circles are about a group of people coming together, being explicit about what they want and support pg each other. i'm sure there are groups that

have vastly different groups and that's what we want. we want every women to believe she can reach for every dream. >> we have much more with cheryl sa -- cheryl sand burg coming up plus, the mozilla boss run out of his job and how the shoe is now apparently on the other we asked people a question, how much money do you think you'll need when you retire? then we gave each person a ribbon to show how many years that amount might last. i was trying to, like, pull it a little further. [ woman ] got me to 70 years old. i'm going have to rethink this thing. it's hard to imagin how much we'll need for a retirement that could last 3years or mor so maybe we need to approach things dferently, if we want to be ready for a longer retirement. ♪ if we want to be ready for a longer retirement. to truck guys, the truck is everything.

back now to my interview with facebook coo sheryl sandberg as we talk about issues impacting women everywhere and how we got connected, watch. >> oh, yeah. >> even though you completely believe and prove that, you know, a woman can be a successful executive at the office and a wonderful mother at home that doesn't mean you have guilt, and you talk in your book

about guilt. i want to get the -- how you say it. can i have it all is a huge trap for women and that guilt management can be just as important as time management for mothers because we're constantly being sent messages from ourself first and then from the outside world that what we're doing, that we're -- our choices are wrong. now, i mean, i had a debate about this on the air with eric ericson and lou dobbs -- >> who is how we met -- >> i just called you to congratulate you. this is how it started. watch. so i'll start with you, eric, what makes you dominant and me submiss sieve and who died and made you scientist in chief? [ laughter ] >> so i loved this so much that i called you and we became friends over it, and i was really impressed that you did it because the guilt is such a big issue for all of us. i have a great story in the book, a friend of mine sharon and steve both work full-time. their daughter was introducing her parents at school night.

this is steve, he works in real estate and likes to sing. this is mommy, she works and never picks me up. why is that little girl saying that? those are the messages she gets. that doesn't mean people shouldn't stay home. it's very important to work at home and raise children. it means not all of those people should be men and right now it's 4%. it doesn't mean kids don't need to be picked up. when both people are working full-time, the father can do the picking up, too. that will make the families stronger. >> we have to stop shooting for having it all and reasonable, what we can reasonable accomplish in our work and our home lives. in a way we have to set the bar a little lower for ourselves, so we don't make it i must be firing on all cylinders at all times. >> most mothers working because they have to are getting squeezed on both sides. working hours are expanding. we have blackberries, ipods, we can be reached all the time and mother hood hours are expanding.

the average working mother today spends as much time one on one with her children than the average non-working mother did 30 years ago. so the expectations are growing. as women, we can constantly feel like we're not doing anything enough and that's what needs to change. >> are you going to run for office? >> no. >> definitely not? >> i don't want to run for office. i really love my job at facebook, i love raising my kids and i love what i get to do in my spare time. these women coming together to support each other. >> how about politically? would you support -- i know you support women but would you support a presidential republican candidate that's a woman as well as a democrat? >> i would have to meet the person. it would have to be the person. i want more women to be elected in office. we have a travisty. women won 20% of the seats and all the headlines say women take over the senate. women take over the senate. i felt like saying wait a

second -- >> no, they didn't. >> 50% of the population having over 20% of the seats is not a takeover. it's a gap. i'm for more women and more office at every level. there is a great story in a book, a young woman named sarah was approached for running for mayor. thought she couldn't do it with two kids. she ran and became the first female and youngest mayor of pleasanton, iowa. she's in office today. >> you've been a good job of being a political. do you think a group like a now needs to be less political because they were slow to come to the defense of michele bachmann and sarah palin when the c word about these women and a lot of women on the right said, where are they? where are they when it's a republican woman versus a democrat woman? >> i think one of the problems we have as women and goes to female-run institutions, we want all women to speak to everyone. >> well, different organizations

do different things and different organizations are allowed to do different things. you know, what we really focused on is building a community of people that come together and i think that is really important. tomorrow, i'm going to the naval academy and with the person runningacademy, we're rolling out circles and hoping not just women join them but men and that's something really exciting for us. >> sheryl thanks for coming. >> great to be with you. >> congrats on your success. >> thank you, congrats on yours. >> there is much more on this interview and you can find it on facebook. here is a sneak peak. not only do you need women like yourself and not only that matter, yours truly in big jobs to tell women you can lead, you can go on maternity leave and come back, and in my case twice get promoted but requires you to have self-confidence and be valuable in your job and also

after one of the most important people in the internet industry was forced out of his job, the folks who helped boot him out have to explain how one of their own leaders did the same thing. >> you're talking about the ceo of okay cuban which is a dating website. he's saying his donation is nothing like the donation that was made by the former ceo of mozilla. when gay rights activists found out he donated to california proposition 8, they called for him to step down. okay cupid jumped on board. those who seek to deny love and instead enforce frustration, we wish them nothing but failure. i resign.

okay cupid's ceo gave 500 to the campaign of a man who voted to ban gay marriage and gay people from adopting. he only supported him because he sat on an important internet technology committee. critics say, i don't know. they call him a hypocrite, but so far no gay rights activist has called for him to step down. >> thank you. don't go away. we'll be right back. g music♪
