so i think it was a fair analogy that gloria steinem drew. i think what is really interesting about what is happening in saudi arabia, i'm glad you brought up the king allowing women in the parliament. the good thing about the per point there's 20 percent. that's the same number of women that's we have here in the united states and congress over all is worse. so it's amazing if you think about there's a lot of commonality in the struggle for women humans rights even though the specifics are different. >> what gloria steinem did, and she knows how to make an analogy and how far they go. it's essential live what women all over the world are doing. they're taking specific criticisms that are leveed in other countries and adopting them to them to their own circumstances and seeing, what am i in society? perhaps different. should i also be careful and i must say having gone through in congress the notion that women should not even have a health care plan include something for men and women that is life is death -- i think -- >> it wasn't so long a

guess who is coming to her defense, gloria steinem. powerful in her corner. breaking bra news. it's the brand new one that we can't stop talking about. is everything we think about the need to wear a bra all wrong? >> juststop talking bit. >> and we'll be switching gears. tom cruise, very rare appearance, funny one to boot on jimmy kimmel last night. all your highlights straight ahead. >>> oh, and if that wasn't enough it's friday freebie. tory johnson is here. how do you do it? the deals and today all free for you our viewers. >> one more big surprise. >>> right now brad paisley super fans are in a secret location. they cannot hear us, they think they're making a video for brad. >> all his music is so great. >> what they don't know he's here live about to give them a huge surprise. cannot wait for that. first we'll get news from josh. >>> we begin with a new u.s. effort to calm tensions on the korean peninsula. secretary of state john kerry arrives in seoul reinforcing that the u.s. wants a peaceful resolution to the current crisis between the south and nort

. >> gloria steinem says there should not even have to be the word to identify the fact that women areated as equals. in our case, for us to have to really go to work at trying to make it be ok for women to be involved, we should not have had to do all that work, but we did. "ere are the scars of going yes, we will." and hopefully that will reverberate for others. some of the mistakes we made will be remembered. tavis: when you say mistakes, you have written a book about this, so give me one or two examples of what you regard as a career mistake. >> i regard a career mistake as doing something contrary to what you know is right for you, but doing something anyway but digino it will advance your career. because you know if we'll advance your career. making that robert johnson decision when maybe it is not the right thing. tavis: you cannot be in the music business and not feel the pressure to do something you don't want to do in your career. for women in rock, that that happen more often? >> it sure did for us. it happened in the 1980's, in particular. brought global attention towards -
