to her childhood. >> it meant more to our father to see us deal with a setback and try to bounce back than to watch how we handled our successes. show what you are made of, he would say. graduating from wake forest means all of you have experienced success already. and some of you -- and now i'm talking to anyone who has been dumped -- not gotten the job you really wanted, or received those horrible rejection letters from grad school. you know the sting of losing or not getting something you badly want. when that happens, show what you are made of. >> everybody has been talking about this. a former colleague wrote that seeing jill abrahamson fired was like watching, quote, her head

get chopped off in the gold light of day. let me bring in crystal bakrystd leslie jane seymour. what do you make of all this? >> it wouldn't be such a big deal if we didn't have pay equity. it's an issue because women still know we are paid less than our male peers in many cases. >> and that's what touched off this debate and the firestorm. >> for people who don't know, she was the first female executive editor of the "new york times". she has been widely praised even by her critics as one of the great journalists of her generation. it's day five. we're still talking about this story. why has it resonated so far beyond the world of news papers and so broadly? >> well, you know, a friend of mine said to me he was sort of like, well, why are we so concerned about this woman. she's making good money. so this isn't a big deal.

but i think what really has struck a nerve with people is to see that even such a clearly accomplished capable woman, a trailblazer at the top of her game, could still be potentially subjected to the sort of sexist problems that we see throughout organizations, whether it's not being paid the same as your male colleagues, and she discovered reportedly that she wasn't making what her male colleagues had made at any level through the "times". but even beyond that, it's very hard to think of an example where a male was fired for his, quote, temperament, right, for being pushy are or abrasive. men have the luxury of being judged for whether or not they're competent. and in this case it seems like women face a different standard where they have to not only be competent tept competent, but be widely loved. >> there has been this great reporting on this, whether it was so much about pay or these other issues about her management pay. here's what he said on the "today" show. >> there tends to be a habit

where you describe a man as tough and you describe a woman in a different term, you know, pushy for instance. and that is a real problem. but come think this is a case of sexism. i think it's a case of miscommunication, of the fact that jil abramson was not perceived to be a -- >> how much did it come down to jill versus the men. >> women are often criticized for being too inclusive. we can't win. i had a girlfriend out on facebook yesterday who worked for a major advertising agency saying her boss was a male, totally abusive, absolutely outrage krout ran outrage yus. he got anger management courses. he doesn't get thrown out. an yet women, we're supposed to be nice. the big problem is often that we're too nice and we don't get to where we have to go. do you think martha stewart is

nice? do you think a lot of the women who have made it to the top are nice? of course they're not. how about the men? they can't be nice either. it's a tough world out there. >> and the "times" hit back. arthur sol arth arthur sulzberger oig released a statement saying jill is an outstanding journalist andclude management was not working out. and she was bringing in somebody to do kindigital. they were going to be co-equal with the man now the new executive editor of the "times". but she told sulzberger that she had warned him, sulzberger said that didn't happen. if that is true, understandably he was upset. was this a fireable offense if it happened? >> i think one of the challenges in modern america is that the sexism is not going to be so

blatant as, honey, get back in the kitchen and pimake me a dri. you can point to that incident. you can point to the fact that there were other folks in the newsroom who had an issue with her management style. but ultimately you have to look at the sort of broader trends. there is a new study out that shows that male ceos on average are ousted about 25% of the time. female ceos have ousted about a third of the time. so women are being kicked out more often. and i would argue that because it is so tough to get to the top as a one, that these women are likely more qualified, more capable that the males that they're a even being judged against. so when you look at the bigger picture, it's clear we have a problem in terms of women being judged by a different standard. >> we were wondering in the newsroom where jill address this when she gives her speech. that's pretty much all she addressed. let me play a little piece of sound. >> a couple of students who i was talking to last night after

i arrived, she they know that i have some tattoos. and one of them asked me are you going to get that "times" t that you have tattooed on your back removed. not the a chance. >> i love that. >> she is embracing it. she made a joke about the program at wake forest that is a placement program and that she might have to go see the head of the placement program. it's easy for us to laugh. we'll see where it goes and a lot of people will be watching it for a sign of where we are as a society. but how does it fit in to the larger conversation some not ju? not just for us, we've all been hard working and successful in our careers. but the mother of one or two or three who is working one or two or three jobs. >> all of us today i think have to realize getting fired in these high profile positions as you become the first woman, you

know, you become under attack, you become more visible. it's going to happen as more women take hold in those positions. and men, too. and recovering from that i want to see what she is going to do next. >> and i think also when you're thinking about what does it look like for the woman who is working two jobs and trying to make it more working class person, if this woman, jill abramson who is so capable and highly visible at a great organization that is seen as, you know, supporting women a lot of the times, if she could face this sort of a situation, you can only imagine what someone with a lot less power in their working life is dealing with. >> and less money who cannot hire, who is afraid to stand up for herself. >> but i think the firestorm set off by this is good for everybody below the fire. all the way down to the weeds. because you know what, everybody now -- it's a warning shot which is don't go get a lawyer and go after your boss about an equal pay. but maybe it's actually saying

maybe we all should. let's do a blog where we all put out our salaries and we all talk about it. maybe that would help. >> leslie jane seymour, krystal ball, will ththis is and ongoin conversation. and you can see "the cycle" right here at 3:00. there are several commencement related stories for our news feed this morning. a former quinnipiac university student is under arrest accused of making bomb threats during graduation. police say danielle shay wanted the ceremony canceled because she lied to her family. she wasn't actually graduating. apparently she hasn't been going to school the at all ft all but spending the money her family gave her tuition for her things. she was arrested inside the commencement. and some commencement speakers withdrew. one in pennsylvania. the new speaker former princeton

president called out student protesters for being immature and arrogant and called the whole situation troubling. the previous speaker withdrew over protests when he was at cal berkeley. in defending him, bowen got a standing ovation. and michelle obama and eric holder both addressing race in their commencement speeches. holder alluded to the recent stories involving racism and donald sister link and cliven bundy and told the graduates at morgan say the university this -- >> they are more subtle. they cut deep and the terrible impact goes on long after hatred has been marginalized.

>> michelle obama was in topeka commemorating the 60th year since brown versus board of ed. she says some schools are just as segregated and more work needs to be done. john kerry is getting ready to deliver the commencement address at boston college. he's a 1976 graduate of bc's law school. there he was. california's governor connecting those raging wildfires to climate change. he takes a swipe at republicans in the process. we'll tell you how that state is placing for the worst wild fire season in history. >> in my view, she's in the prime of her political life. she's got the energy, she's articulate, she's got the background, she has the smarts. she has all of the elements of a good leader. >> democrats defending hillary clinton while republicans are doubling down on their criticism. is her health fair game? that's coming up.

hard to believe 2016 is two years away. the race already seems hot with all the talk about hillary clinton. according to the "washington post," her maname was mentioned8 times yesterday on the sunday shows. it's clear republicans are testing a line of attack focused on her health long after that fall in 2012 that left her hospitalized. >> i'm not a doctor, but what i do know is the issue will come up as it does for any person running for president. >> i'm not questioning her health. what i'm questioning is whether or not it's a done deal that she's running. and she would not being human if she did not take this into consideration. >> i think any presidential or vice presidential candidate will have to answer questions about

their health. i don't know might go about mrs. clinton's health. >> joe cwatkins is a republican strategist, angela rye, and j k jackie you kucinich, good morning all. what do republicans get about bringing up this issue so far out from an announcement even? >> well, hillary clinton's numbers are really strong. so clearly if she decides to run for the presidency, she will likely be the nominee. so i think republicans will do the same thing that political parties do when they run against candidates who have vostrong numbers. they will look for any chance to raise questions. now, for any candidate, if it's joe biden, if he becomes the democratic nominee, he's in his early '70s, i'm sure the health question will come up as well just as it did for ronald reagan who was 69 when he was elected and just as it did for john

mccain. >> deftly deflected it. if hillary clinton gets elected, she'd be 69 on election day. but women live longer. 69 today i would argue is very different than 69 was in 1981. and -- >> it's the new 49. >> and the age demographic vote, is will a risk for the republicans in this? >> her health is absolutely -- they can is abocan ask about he. but if it becomes more personal than clinical that's where the fault lines are. this started because karl rove started talking about brain damage. another conservative republican talking about whether she had plastic surgery or not. once you cross that line, that's when it gets offensive and that's when they will get into dangerous territory. >> on the facts, some democrats

are pushing back on a hillary clinton run for president. massachusetts governor devapatr talked about the inevident ability factor. >> i worry about the inevitability thing because i think it's off putting to the average voter and i think that was an element of her campaign the last time. and as an enthusiastic democrat, i just hope that the people around her pay attention to that this time around. >> angela, there are two things we hear a lot even from democrats. one is inevitability and the fatigue factor on the clinton. is hill rit candidate the one who will energize voters? that's the question. >> well, i think two things. first of all, of course governor patrick is absolutely rightinev. but i think the larger picture is that it really comes down to the ticket.

we talked a little bit about this on air yesterday. there's a lot of talk about julian castro who will be the hud nominee from the president. maybe he joins the ticket. but i want to go back just for a moment to this rove issue. and the reason why because as the ton kra harding of politics, the real issue is not that he's questioning her health or her age, it's the way that he does it. when is fact free. that is the real problem here. for him to say that she's wearing glasses because of a blood clot is not the case. she was wearing glasses that were prescription. so if he's going to question her health as the rest of the party is questioning her health and her age being the second oldest under ronald reagan, fine. but do it fair and with facts. >> it's interesting, i only skimmed an article that is an upcoming issue of new york magazine about how to win a political argument. point null one was never let the facts get in the way of a good story. i should say due patrick is not

alone. bernie sanders said these are extraordinary time which is require a boldness that i'm not sure her past history suggests is there. he represents a portion of the party that she would have to win over in a primary. so how does she address those kinds of concerns. >> i think we've also seen -- that's why we've seen a lot of talk about elizabeth warren. that's something that she's going to have to address if she decides to run for president. but i think the bottom line here is the only person that will stop hillary clinton there running for president is probably hillary clinton. >> let me ask you quickly, joe, about your party. also in the news in a commencement speech, jeb bush at grove city college which is a christian liberal arts school in pennsylvania, here's how

"washington post" wrote about it. quote, dropping a possible hint about his thinking regarding a white house bid, bush said if you feel inspired to serve your fellow citizens, don't let the ugliness of politics keep you from pursuing public office. there is always room for informed engaged passionate leaders at every level of government. is this a wave bush talking himself into it if hillary seems to be taking hit with awful these attacks, might he be more likely to get in? give me your assessment of jeb bush. >> well, jeb is -- i know jeb bush. i worked for his father in the white house. jeb is a really good guy. he was a successful governor of florida. he would be a great nominee if he chooses to run and wins the nomination. but he knows how ugly it can be. politics is a very tough business. people drag your family into it of course. make people who aren't running part of the equation. so there's a lot for him to consider. but if he does consider running, if he does choose to run, he'll be a very, very formidable

candidate and will have a strong shot at winning the nomination i think. >> thank you all. in georgia, apparent t-alli schwartz wants to break up the old boys club and a pediatric neurosurgeon is staunchly pro-life. the best story lines you need to know ahead of tuesday's primary coming up. and brand new details about serious charges of espionage against china. those details next. joe and mary own four independent jewelry stores on fisherman's wharf. but they never took time out to plan for retire the. so we came in and gave them a your business small business makeover to help them turn their business into a nest egg. for more, watch your business sunday mornings at 7:30. if i can impart one lesson to a

[ male announcer ] see if your business qualifies. let's take you back to wake forest university where this morning we heard from jill abramson for the first time inside being fired from the new york times. she cracked her jokes and focused her speech almost entirely on successes and failures and even told the graduates she feels like one of them. >> what is next for me?

i don't know. so i'm in exactly the same boat as many of you. and like you, i'm a little scared, but also excited. >> my colleague melissa harris perry is there and a new professor at wake forest. i know you spoke to jill abramson before her speech. wonder if she suggested to you that you she was going to be addressing this vcontroversy as head-on as she did. i was kind of surprised. >> i was, as well. i did speak with her very briefly. she said she would for the have missed this for the world, that it was very important for her to be here. but that was actually part of what keyed me off that i thought she's likely to simply speak to the graduates about the issue of a trfree press and a democracy. but she really clearly made a

decision to use this as an opportunity not only to speak with the students with a lot of humor, but also to make very clear that her position has not changed, that this ouster from the "new york times" was painful, was personal and was gender biased. that's clearly what she was saying today about th. >> what was it like to be there? because it's not necessarily unusual forget a high profile speaker at wake forest, but to get someone in the middle of a conversation that is so salient and so important to the national verse is really rare. >> it is rare. and i saw several things. the first, there was sustained applause for her even immediately after being announced. so before she even spoke, when she was introduced, there was kind of the first polite applause and then the students really sustained a second set of swell hei inheing applause. there was even a standing ovation afterwards.

but here's what i also thought was great. the senior who was graduating this year who was president of the student body is a young woman. she's on her way to the london school of economics and she is also saying she wants to be a political reporter. a political journalist. and i asked her, then what does it mean for you in this moment to have miss abramson as your commencement speaker and she said it's a lesson in resilience. and i think part of what the students appreciated was just how vulnerable she was willing to be. she said it was like getting dumped and getting that rejection letter. so she didn't come in here and say it's all fine, don't worry. instead she was vulnerable and said you have to just keep moving. >> i thought one of the great moments was she said a name and we all said who is that, who is that? and of course it's the person who runs the placement office at wake forest and she said she might need to visit there. but she clearly was strong, she was clear, she harkened back to her childhood which is something

every parent, every student in that audience could relate to. and it was a topic that frankly when you delve into it it's pretty nuanced and complicated. >> it is. but she did a couple of important things here. one, she invoked anita hill and in so doing, look, this is a woman who knows how to cure rate oig and edit. so if there was a name said, she wants us to think about what that name means. so when she invoked anita hill, she's saying that is similar to what she is experiencing. the othether thing is when she d vice president cheney, a little part in my head thought, wonder if she's going to be my new colleague next year. because i can imagine someone said do you want to teach skrou journalism. >> i thought maybe you meant your colleagues here at msnbc.

>> no, my day job. >> melissa harris perry, thank you so much. of course you can see melissa weekend mornings at 10:00 eastern right here on msnbc. and in case you missed it over the weekend, you have to see this video.buzz is still going after last night's performance by the hologram of michael jackson. the billboard music awards crowd gave it a standing ovation, but what about you? is it cool or is it creepy? check out my must read and of course you you can watch the video. let us know what you position. head to facebook/jansing co.

the targets were energy and manufacturing companies. >> this administration will not tolerate actions by any nation that seeks to illegally sabotage american companies and undermine fair competition in the free market. this case should serve as awake upcall to the seriousness of the ongoing cyber threat. the criminal charges represent a ground breaking step forward in addressing that threat. >> i'd like to bring in congressman gregory meeks of new york. good to see you. >> good to be with you. >> this obviously is a major announcement, first time. you were joking in the break coming into this it's supposed to be the other way around. but on a very serious note, what are both the economic and national security implications of this? >> i think that's why you saw the attorney general in the cases that were filed. it is very serious and we have to protect americans and american interests and not allow

our information to get out, intellectual property is key and that's why many of the trade 2k3wre789 agreements talk about protecting them. so those items -- and i would think that when you see the attorney general making a case like this, it's not without thorough investigation, they must clearly have the evidence to show that the chinese were doing, when they were doing it, how they were doing it, because otherwise i wouldn't think you'd see attorney general and the cases being brought forward. >> and you wouldn't see it without obviously consideration for the diplomatic implications here. what effect might this have on u.s./chinese relations? >> i think we'll still work our way through it. i think what is a good thing is that we're inter-gend event nations.

but there have to be rules of the game and you can't steal the other's intake legt all property. so the united states is accepteding that shot across the bow, if you will. look, we can compete and we look forward to competing with you you. we believe we can compete with anybody and we can win, but we won't allow to you steal or cheat by stealing our intellectual property and we caught you red handed and we're letting you know that. >> big controversy here at home. you've talked about money for veterans affairs. you have a v.a. facility in your district. let me play for you the white house chief of staff was asked about president obama and his response to this crisis. here's what dennis mcdonough said. >> the president is madder than hell. and i've got the scars to prove it. we've now deployed additional staff over to the veterans administration to dig into this, to find out if this is a series of isolate cases or whether this is a systemic issue that we need to address with wholesale reform. we're not going to stop making

this better up it is in fact better because that's exactly what our veterans t s deserve. >> every will say veterans deserve better, but some veterans groups have exceptionally said where's the beef. is the president doing enough, are we moving quickly enough to see that in this interim period where we're investigating who might be responsible, while all that is happening, that there aren't people falling by the wayside? >> i think we will see where the beef is and that's what the investigation will show. from what i've looked at since 2000, there has been some question as to what is going on and no one has looked as thoroughly as should have been. and i think that what the president has done with the appointment of mr. plthat i bor we'll find out where the beef is and once we do, heads will roll. >> including potentially mr. shinseki?

>> if things were overlooked, i don't position thib will be shared, but we have to find out who, what, when and where. because it seems that there has been multiple secretaries of the v.a. because this problem seems to have gone on far too long. and we have to be mad. every american should be mad if in fact this kind of thing has been going on since the year 2000 for our vets, yes, i'm mad, too. but we do want something to be done about it. appears that the president is now moving forward to get to the bottom of it. and once we get to the bottom of it, then let the appropriate heads roll of the individuals who were in the middle of this. not just randomly. but the appropriate heads should roll. >> congressman meeks, always good to have you here. i know you're heading back to d.c.. checking the news feed, we now have the third confirmed case of the mers virus in the u.s.. but the first one actually transmitted person to person. a man from illinois contracted middle east respiratory syndrome

after he came into contact with the first confirmed victim. although he showed no serious signs of sickness, he did test positive for the antibodies. cdc officials are continuing to track the spread of the virus which has been prominent and deadly overseas. south korea's president made a very emotional apology today for that ferry disaster that killed more than 300 people. mostly students. she took responsible for the poor response and said she's dismantling the coast guard and creating a new agency instead. today families and officials picking up what was left behind by last week's devastating wildfires in southern california. evacuation orders have been lifted and normal operations are resuming at camp pendleton. officials say at least 47 homes were destroyed, one person was killed. while the worst of the outbreak is apparently over, fire crews don't expect much of a break because the continuing drought and high temperatures. california governor jerry brown yesterday went as far as to suggest the wildfires are

related to climate change saying humanity is on a collision course with nature. he also said republicans are in denial about global warming. wild life officials in southern california are trying to figure out what killed as many as 70,000 fish and other sea creatures. one official said low oxygen levels may be to blame. two massive media companies are joining forces. josh lip top ton is here. at&t agreeing to buy direct tv. what will the new company look like? >> it's interesting. the latest big deal in the paid tv space this year. it will basically give a lift to at&t's customer base. remember at&t already offers paid t vet sv service, but the was pretty limited. direct tv has a lot more, about 20 million customers across the

country. and it's the second largest paid tv provider behind com cocastom. so it expands it foot print in latin america where direct tv has another 18 million customers. so at&t if it goes through could capitalize on that fast growing market, as well. boards of both companies are green lighted the deal, but still waiting to hear there regulators. >> josh lipton, thank you so much. take a guess. what do you think is the best selling product of all-time? the website 24/7 wall street.com cranks the numbers. ipad is number five. it sold 211 million tablets since it was introduced in 2010. the star wars franchise is fourth, $4.6 billion in the bank. it will make more with three additional movies on the way. the toyota corolla is number three. the runner up is the drug lipitor which has made pfizer

because rolling stone issue, i love this. they wrote something really great here. deep in the heart of coal country, a vicious senate battle rages. let's talk about mitch mcconnell obviously and his tea party challenger matt beven. mcconnell expected to win big. but it's different from what some people thought. they thought beven could give him a lot of trouble. how is mcconnell able to pull this out? >> he focused on this from the very beginning. if you remember rand paul sort of was the indicator of the tea party wave. so mcconnell was quoted as saying about the tea party generally, we'll crush them everywhere. and he has proceeded to do just that in his opwn race. there were warnings to people

who were he maybe going to work for beven that that might the not be a great idea. a lot of the groups that backs beven haven't been particularly effective even though the senate conservatives fund has poured a lot of money into this race. beven himself has poured a lot of money in no this case. but at the end of the day, he couldn't stand up for the mcconnell machine. >> on the democratic side, when i talk to donors, i hear a lot of name alison grimes. take a look at the latest poll. she's in a statistical tie with mitch mcconnell. how much trouble is he in? >> she's probably running the best campaign in the country. she's in a dead heat. she is getting about a quarter of republicans right now in polling. that's why she's in a dead heat. the mcconnell camp says that will go away after the primary. that the beven people will hold their nose in the end, they may say they won't be with him, but in the end mcconnell will make

this about whether the republicans will control the senate, even if you don't like me, you'll vote for me, you don't want democrats controlling the senate. that will be the big question. this happened in 2010 with rand paul. they didn't want to vote for rand paul either. the establishment types. but they can can back and republicans united. in the beginning you'll see polling that shows the republican party divided, but most likely they come back in the fold because he'll make it all about obama and the national climate. >> i wish we had an hour. pennsylvania is interesting, oregon is interesting. we'll talk more about all six races. thank you both for coming in. so have you heard about this? the horse california chrome winning the preakness. and is going for the triple crown at the belmont stakes. california chrome wear as nasal strip to race which is illegal in new york horse racing. but just moments ago, e
