this is gretchen carlson's bill. >> well, thank you, margaret.es, it was a tremendous amount of work. what i've learned now, though, is that i have so much more work to do to actually get it passed. >> where does it stand? >> so, i mean, i've spent about 18 months walking the hallways of congress and meeting -- >> are you registered as a federal lobbyist? >> not yet. but, you know, here's what i would say to the members of congress. "do you want to be on the right side of history or the wrong side of history?" and, "do you have daughters?" and, "do you have any woman in your life that matters anything to you at all?" and they would all -- mainly the men -- would start telling me stories about their wives who had faced harassment, their daughters, their nieces, and so then i would say to them, "well, then, don't you want to be a part of fixing this? because this issue is truly apolitical. let's take it out of the shadows. you know, let's deal with it." because when you do that, you empower more women to know that they're not by themselves. >> and

in full disclosure, i know gretchen carlson, i worked with her at fox, we reached out to invite gretchenprogram but we have not received a response. joining us is miss america 2018, cara mund, thank you for being here. >> thank you for having me. >> how did it get to this point that you are feuding with the chair gretchen carlson about what your year has been like? >> i never intended for this to go public and i started voicing concerns in january. i went to staff members. it continuously seems to have gotten worse. >> what has been happening with you. >> like stated in the letter where i felt like i was being silenced. i wasn't being considered a member of the staff. there was a lot of times where i felt like i wasn't being valued and it had continuously gotten worse to the point where they didn't know my name, they announced me as a totally different person at orientation. >> was it just a mistake? >> it could be but it was thing after thing after thing. >> >> how did you feel you were being bullied? that word gets attention. >> the letter i wrote to my sisters was the last resort at t

gretchen carlson is with me now. gretchen, welcome to the program. >> thank you for having me. most welcome because a massive conversation and movement that really is some say at a delicate stage right now. do you think that there is sort of a tipping point moment right now, sort of, sort of come to jesus moment about how this is going to go forward? >> i'm calling it a cultural revolution. i don't think we put the genie back in the bottle at this point. so many women and men have felt encouraged inspired to find the bravery and to come forward. that i really feel like we are going to continue down this path. my great hope is that it will trickle down to the women who work in all of these industries, that are not hollywood, television or capitol hill. where they're not famous necessarily. but they're still enduring the same type of a harassment and abuse. >> obviously have been high profile, men have been forced to leave their jobs. it isn't just about the famous stars is it or ceos? this is a whole culture of enablement throughout many organizations. >> so, i was stunned to fi

the me too movement started with gretchen carlson. gretchen carlson went to stanford. out to the pageant organizers to comment pointing us to an interview with carlson denying the allegations telling "people" magazine we have supported cara mund for her entire year. we will continue to support her. it's disappointing she chose to air her grievance publicly and not privately. carissa jackson was miss america 2010. she said she wasn't surprised by cara's letter. >> i have seen gretchen's intimidation and bully pattern even happening to us, to former miss americas in our e-mail chain. if she would do it to us, i know she would do it to the person holding the crown. >> reporter: jackson signed a petition calling for the resignation of carlson, the ceo and the entire board of trustees. cara mund said the leadership delivered an important message. there will be only one miss america at a time and she is it. a new miss america will be crowned september 9th. so much controversy. >> absolutely. >> i thought they put it past them. >> doesn't look like it. it's not just the forme

we had a call with gretchen a couple days ago in which she tried to answer questions many former miss americas hadn't been released this statement and while i don't think her intentions are bad i don't think she is understanding the impact of the things she is saying and doing so she had initially said she should have come to her privately rather than writing a letter to all of us and now she is doing the same thing, she wrote this letter and released it on twitter in which she is blaming cara saying she needs to support the pageant so again silencing her the same way cara explained. when i saw that it confirmed for me what is going on and made me realize i do need to support her in this and the bravery it took to come forward in the retribution she might be facing the. on gretchen's i love and respect her as a person but as a leader she needs to understand the responsibility she has in the impact her words and actions of cost, that is different from having good intentions because her intentions may be good but the impact is still there. she hasn't really accepted that and i see no tr

we had a conference call with gretchen a couple days ago.swer questions that many former miss americas had and then released this statement had while i don't think that her intentions are bad i don't think she fully is understanding the impact of the things that she is saying and doing. she had initially said that cara should have come to her privately rather than writing a letter to all of us, and now she's doing the exact same thing. she wrote this letter to cara and then released it on twitter and which she is blaming cara for things and saying that she needs to support the pageant. in a way, silencing her in the exact way that cara explained. when i saw that, it really confirmed for me what is going on here and may made me realize i need to stand with cara. as many former miss americas are committed to supporting her in this, and the bravery to come forward, and the retribution she might be facing. on gretchen's side, i respect her as a person but i think as a leader right now, she needs to understand the responsibility she has for the i

not gretchen carlson, not mysel myself, not to resell.e because we are the voice for cara. she did not email a letter of grievance because she tried to speak to board members and she was silenced. she was told not to speak and keep it in the family which to me, as a principal and a leader of a private catholic school and nonprofit, i know there are grievance policies that should be in place and she wasn't able to get her grievances across. >> martha: i understand. but to continue to get to the bottom of it, can you give some examples of what you think is wrong with the organization and why you like to see these people removed? i know that 23 states, state organizations have also called for the removal of these individuals so clearly, there are some specific grievances. if you could give people at home a sense of some examples? >> there have been some dictatorial changes made to the organization, specifically people thinking about this swimsuit competition that has been removed. that was removed because of board of directors voted for it t

you want the entire board to resign but specifically gretchen carlson. why gretchen?though all the leadership as to include the board of directors is complicit in this. and in order for us to move forward and to actually heal, we need to do the right thing right now so that we can move on and focus on who's going to be crowned miss america on september 9th. >> it's just around the corner. you have to question the timing. you want this to happen just a couple of weeks before that? >> absolutely. it's never the wrong time to do the right thing. let's be clear. just because we are asking for our chair and ceo to step down does not mean the miss america pageant will not happen, and it will send a message not only to our new miss america, but to the public, that we are willing to do the right thing so that miss america who is crowned on september 9th will not have to go through what cara has gone through. >> gretchen carlson just released a statement. she denies bullying or trying to silence cara mund. she said the organization lost $75,000 in console e -- scholarships ove

gretchen, thanks very much for being here.nt to start about asking you about the late-breaking dynamics in this race. your progressive challenger releasing a medicare-for-all single-payer health care plan that seems to have at the very least caught the interest of bernie sanders, who's endorsed him, and gotten a lot of attention in the waning weeks. what's your health care plan and why do you disagree with your opponent? >> listen, i'm not running or disagreeing with anyone. i'm running on a real plan and a real record to get things done for people in michigan. michiganders aren't interested in labels or an outsider coming in. we want a governor who can solve problems. and as the senate zmdemocratic leader, i had a proud progressive leader. that's why everyone from the uaw to planned parenthood have endorsed me. >> so do you support medicare for all? >> i support getting everyone covered, absolutely. universal coverage is everyone's goal here. but as the one person who negotiated medicaid expansion in my state, 680,000 people
