. >> reporter: former fox news anchor gretchen carlson sued her former boss, roger ailes, for >> i often asked, why do people do this? sexual harassment is about power. it can be about he could but it -- about sex but it's often about making a person feel less powerful. >> most of these women were working for him at a very early stage in their careers. for them i think there would be a tremendous risk to speaking out against his behavior. >> reporter: pyle godfrey ryan, one of rose's assistants, told "the washington post" about at least a dozen instances where rose walked nude in front of her while she worked in one of his new york city homes. she says he would repeatedly call her late at night to describe his fantasies of her swimming naked. she says she told rose's long-time pbs executive producer yvette vega, who alleged her told her, "that's charlie being charlie." rose's executive producer told "the washington post," i should have stood up for them, i failed, it is crushing, i deeply regret not helping them. >> we have to get past that in our society. >> "that's just talk," right? w

former fox news anchor -- gretchen carlson weighed in on the case talking about how much society has changed since last year when she sued her former boss, roger ailes, for sexual harassment. lauer's firing -- comes after an unidentified employee made claims of inappropriate sexual behavior that began at the sochi olympics in 2014. just hours after the news about matt lauer broke - another shocking departure. garrison keillor, fired from minnesota public radio. the former host of a prairie home companion claims his firing stems from an incident when he touched a woman's bare back while trying to console her. he says he immediately apologized and thought she had forgiven him. developing now in the district-- a 7 on your side i-team investigation. students... getting a diploma - while missing months of class. now we are hearing more from the whistleblower behind the investigation... and the school's response to her claims. nathan baca has more. following our investigation-- mayor muriel assuring parents that district officials are doing everything they can to fix this situation. we set

gretchen carlson stressed that on "the beat" a few weeks ago. >> listen, we've got to change the wayse kinds of cases and take the blame away from the women. we also have to take away the secrecy of it. because most of these cases are solved in settlements, where the women cannot speak about what happened to them. or they go into secret arbitration with the prevalence of those clauss and employment contracts. and again, women are silenced. >> the key point there, what gretchen carlson was alleging about at fox news is also what others are alleging about the u.s. congress and the products of both parties, money buying secrecy. we'll have more on that story in the days ahead. "hardball with chris matthews" starts now. >>> trump backs up moore. let's play "hardball." >>> good evening. i'm chris matthews up in boston. late today, after manner a weor week of silence, president trump weighed in on alabama senate candidate, roy moore. >> i can tell you one

gretchen carlson did start this. incredible journalism kept it going. and powerful men have been brought down. but they weren't sorry until they were outed. i disagree that nondisclosure agreements ever help if tthe wo. not having one doesn't mean the woman has to talk about it, it just gives her the choice and they're never voluntary from my clients, my clients are always offended by being silenced by the person who harassed them. >> we heard for example, from the woman accusing congressman conyers of sexual harassment she felt like she had no choice. >> but no sign a nondisclosure agreement because none of my clients have had that choice. either they have to go to a lawsuit or if they want to go on with their careers and lives they're forced to sign n nondisclosure agreements. it's like being forced to sign arbitration agreements with 60 million americans have signed which enables harassers by keeping this secret. it's the secrecy that allows serial harassers in workplaces all over america. >> it's the culture too. we have been talking about this bein

>> growing claims against fox news chief roger ailes -- >> reporter: former fox news anchor gretchen carlsonued her former boss, the late roger ailes, and fox news, for sexual harassment in 2016. walking away with a $20 million settlement. >> after my story broke 16 months ago, and all these women started reaching out to me, i realized how pervasive the problem was. and it was really crossing every socioeconomic line and every profession from waitresses to wall street bankers to members of our military and everyone in between. >> hey, hey, ho, ho -- >> reporter: since then women from all walks of life have come forward with their own stories, marching together to end the silence, #metoo was born. but on capitol hill, change is not so swift. from al franken to john conyers to roy moore to the president himself, all accused of sexual misconduct, all still hanging on to power. this morning, president trump tweeted, wow, matt lauer was just fired from nbc for inappropriate sexual behavior in the workplace, but when will the top executives at nbc and comcast be fired for putting out so much fake

>> so, gretchen carlson from fox, formerly of fox news, who went after roger ailes and started this whole about 18 months ago, i guess. >> yep. >> she was here in that very chair some days ago. and she described this moment as a watershed moment. and we went back and forth about that for a couple minutes. i knew what she meant, but i wasn't taking the bait. what i said is if i had a dime for everything i thought would be a watershed moment with regards to racial issues, regards to race, i thought michael brown, rodney king a watershed moment. >> sandra blank. >> none of these things happened in terms of making it the watershed moment i thought it might become. what gives you reason to believe, if you agree with gretchen, that this is a watershed moment? >> i said potentially a watershed moment. >> unpack that for me. >> here's what i think, because we've been here before, right? >> anita hill. i could run the same list. >> roman polanski, bsk, bill cosby. we can go down the list. >> same list. >> this is only going to be a watershed moment if we actually martial our forces in every single

. >> when gretchen carlson came to you and launched the case against roger ailes, it was a different> yeah, it shows the difference it makes when we are able to have a voice. we have not had a voice because we are forced into secret proceedings and arbitration, and there's power in numbers. and somebody who was an emitted sexual assaulter won the presidency, and people are saying enough, we need to speak up for ourselves and daughters and the future. >> we are all we got. >> areeva, how do you see it? >> i absolutely agree. as a lawyer that has been involved in the cases for years, and i know gretchen's lawyer attest to this, we would enter into the settlement agreements and nobody could talk about it and we would leave the rooms feel feeling like we did something for that one individual but knowing we had not moved the needle for the sexual harassment. we now have a conversation we could have never had, and we have legislators talking about prohibiting the nondisclosures in those settlements. i hope we can go further than the hash tag, but go forward with those women that are not at

and the former fox news anchor gretchen carlson talked about that challenges for women who have beensexually harassed in the workplace. in the coming weeks on afterwards the best-selling author will report on the work of her grandfather the project scientist and the goldstar father recall his to united states and offered his thoughts on what it means to be an american. weekend the color news foundation christopher bedford explores the leadership skills of president trump. >> he was executive the same on stage as offstage. he left the room wherever he went. in the early story of this that was interesting as i always ask on the campaign trail. you can be as nice or as rude as you want to be and those wonderful women will help you anyway. i thought it was interesting. he was genuinely nice. he was authentic. he did none of that. he did not hire pollsters as he strangely bragged at one point. that came true. it airs on book tv. will, good evening ladies and gentlemen and welcome to the westport library my name is bill harmer i'm the executive director of the library and is so good to see

. >> gretchen carlson says she gets that question every day when she speaks out about sexual harassmenthave you ever heard that one? >> i asked the question because for me it's not that we don't have laws in place. we shouldn't have to have laws to dictate what common decency is. the core of it, the culture is broken. women in the workplace aren't seen as colleagues, as leaders, as equals. when we see the message being sent out, which is -- the message that we want to send is no matter how much money or power you have, you can't engage in this behavior. it's not okay. there will be consequences. how can we really be serious about that when the elephant in the room is, hello, who is sitting in the white house right now. >> areva, what's the answer to that? >> well, the reality, alisyn, is that powerful men have been and continue to be given the benefit of the doubt when we talk about sexual harassment and saults. when that tape came out with respect to donald trump. the reason that the country should not count him as as a candidate for presidency. that continues to happen from the highes

. >> and i want to move on to gretchen carlson who tweeted this in response to donald trump and his tweetal franken. she is asking specifically the president it would seem what about the accusation against you and the accusations and all the women that have come forward. what do you think of what is happening on the national level, what is happening in minnesota? it started with just roy moore, but thousand you snow hyou see of the aisle taken into this. >> as far as the president is concerned, people keep saying on a regular basis we see so much misconduct so so many levels from the president, when will there be a day of reckoning. and as far as trump is concerned, remember watergate was nearly two years before it kind of caught up with richard nixon. and whether it's the president's misconduct, whether it's the scandal in russia, whether it's his narcicisstic insecurities, whether it's his inability to perform on a national stage and in a national stage, the net effect is that the republicans are now in a massive civil war internally. the poll numbers of this president and the republica

on allison cammarata's excellent time hall for cnn on tipping point, i think it was gretchen carlson said that. instead of worrying about the men who are going to lose their jobs now, let's go back multiple generations and find some of the women who never had a chance at a career or had their careers shortened. and god bless her for giving voice to those women, for even a moment, on a show. >> you mentioned tipping point and you wrote about this saying, talking about tipping points and defining moments, but very rarely do the moments last. >> yes. >> is that what it fells like to you now? >> i would love to see this moment last, but, first of all, in terms of this situation, i do think cbs did handle it extremely well. we have to keep the focus on the victims, right, as -- we keep talking about the guys, the guys are losing their jobs. what about the women? let's keep the focus on women. also on the collateral damage, there is a ton of collateral damage here, you think about charlie rose, who has a production company, that has given, you know, young women and men employment, what hap

and it's also really important, because you are talking about when people like gretchen carlson comes out and say we new legislation in the workforce, and you are talking about going before congress and ask for that legislation. so it's important that yes there is an investigation. and perhaps there may be other allegations against members of congress that come out. it's really important that these investigations take place. that members of congress are held accountable for their actions just like any other private citizen. >> yes. and what about the president? i guess i'm left wondering, and gloria here is my question to you, questions have been shouted at the president, as he was coming and going when meeting with the house republicans before the big vote on the hill. part of the reason he hasn't reported on the ray moore, as i mentioned his own personal, let's rip the bandage off, his own issue with women coming forward through the years alleging sessi alleging sexual assault against the now president. how long can the white house sit on this? >> you'll see sarah huckabee sanders c

gretchen carlson, who started a wave of scrutiny with her allegations at fox news, spoke about this earliershow. i want to play that and get your response. >> listen, we've got to change the way in which we approach these kinds of cases and take the blame away from the women. we have to take away the secrecy of it. most of these cases are solved in settlements where the women cannot speak about what happened to them. or they go into secret arbitration with the previous religious of those clauses in employment contracts. and women are silenced. >> how does congress address secrecy within its over ranks on this? >> well, presently, there is a confidentiality agreement that a victim will have to sign on to at the beginning of mediation. and then a nondisclosure agreement at the end. and the legislation i've introduced will no longer require a victim to sign either of those documents. it should be their choice, not mandated. >> and what do you want to say more broadly? this process is partly about the congress which is obviously important. there's a larger discussion in politics with regard to

we had gretchen carlson, she's the fox news anchor who sued and said she was fired because she departmentespond to roger ailes sexual harassment i don'tr overtures. get up and fight, fight for what you believe in. that comes from a woman who hung out of a helicopter. [laughter] >> there are so many more forms of journalism now and there are so much more opportunity out there. there are digital outlets that have a whole host of jobs that didn't exist 5, 10, 15 years ago. you don't just have to go to your local newspaper or local television stations. you can get on a blog like 5:38.com and there's politico, smaller versions, i know you guys have patch, patch still exists everywhere, right? i was hoping. you can make your way through that and work up the ladder and refuse to take no for an answer when it comes to finding a bigger job. >> and what should journalism students or any of us learn from this campaign? you're one of the first to say, president trump, i'm covering him, i'm the only one covering him besides smaller outlets, he could win, i have to say i said it in iowa having seen wha

. >> of course, among the president's critics right now, gretchen carlson, former fox news anchor who responded to president trump's tweets about where franken's hands where, writing simply, what about yours. stephanie. >> what about yours. i noticed president trump was asking about picture two, three, four, five, six. i was unaware there were any of those. was he looking for a picture where al franken may have been grabbing that woman by the p-u-s-s-y, something president trump himself has professed to done. interesting parallel between al franken and roy moore, who is also facing allegations of sexual misconduct down in alabama with minors but moore continues to insist he did nothing wrong. msnbc's vaughn hilliard has been in alabama all week. yesterday, we saw some religious leaders defending moore. later today, he is calling women in his life to defend him. what are we going to hear? >> stephanie, it feels more like a defense tour that we're covering out here with 25 days left. on the steps behind me, the state capitol, kala moore, the wife of ray moore, will be appearing with wom

gretchen carlson and jessica barth who created a campaign called who is your harvey inspired by her encounter with harvey weinstein. thank you very much for being with us. jessica, let me start with you. you are one of scores of women who have a harvey weinstein story. you say that in 2011, he called you to a work meeting and then he asked you to give him a naked massage, which you refused to do. you are also pursuing charges against your former manager who you say drugged and assaulted you. so what has this last month been like for you since you've gone public with this? >> it's been chaotic. i've had emotions ranging from empowerment to frustration to anger. it's been difficult on my family as well. when everything happened with harvey weinstein, i knew that this was my opportunity to speak out, thinking always in the back of my mind that i was going to speak out against my former manager. harvey weinstein sexually harassed me. david galad sexually assault med. >> you are a brave woman. we invited dozens of hollywood actors here tonight and you're the only one who agreed to have this conver

i think we really need to focus on not just the angelina jolies and the gretchen carlsons, but what'spening to teenage girls across the country in the fast fort hood industry, and i think these kids really need help. >> woodruff: and as we focus, jocelyn frye, we need to focus on them and other women who are in a part of our society where they're just not seen. >> absolutely. what we know from the data is that women in a number of low-wage jobs, particularly the service sector, are particularly vulnerable to sexual harassment, and i think it is important to communicate that people can speak up, that they can gain power in numbers, but it's also important for employers to take responsibility. >> woodruff: yes. you know, every employer has an interest in making sure that their workplaces are free of harassment and their hands are not tied. >> woodruff: lynne bernabei, people talk about h.r., human resources departments, but they, in essence, work for the boss, for the people who own the business. >> yes, they do. that's why i think it's so important for women to band together in organiz

to lose his job in the summer of 2016 after dozens of women had come forward in the wake of gretchen carlson's lawsuit. and then fast forward to the last couple of weeks we saw cbs and nbc news move very swiftly when they came to the attention of allegations. i think we should point out, though, that a lot of these stories have been pushed and the media companies have been pushed by outside journalists and publications who have aggressively dug into these allegations. i think part of this is now companies know that there is accountability and journalists are aggressively covering the story. >> we have roger ailes, bill o'reilly, matt lauer and charlie rose. at a time when the president is waging a war on our credibility in the media. what does this do to our credibility. >> someone is stepping down from radio news after allegations of inappropriate behavior. he is saying the story is more interesting than is currently being presented. another kind of news industry hero. people tune in to him every week. they look up to him, as they have charlie rose, matt lauer, many other folks. and so, i mea

. >> the key point there, what gretchen carlson was alleging about at fox news is also what others are alleging about the u.s. congress and the products of both parties, money buying secrecy. we'll have more on that story in the days ahead. "hardball with chris matthews" starts now. >>> trump backs up moore. let's play "hardball." >>> good evening. i'm chris matthews up in boston. late today, after manner a weor week of silence, president trump weighed in on alabama senate candidate, roy moore. >> i can tell you one thing for sure, edonwe don't need a liber person in there, a democrat, jones. i've looked at his record, it's terrible on crime, it's terrible on the border, it's terrible on the military. i can tell you for a fact, we do not need somebody that's going to be bad on crime, bad on borders, bad with the military, bad for the second amendment. >> mr. president, is an accused child molester better than a democrat? >> well, he denies it. look, he denies it. if you look at what is really going on and you look at all the things that have happened over the last 48 hours, he totally

gretchen carlson, don't cut me off away, but gretchen carlson was on fox news.he made some legitimate points, i am not denying the legitimacy of her sexual harassment. but why did she go to work for the wall street journal also owned by rupert murdoch and she could write about asbestos litigation and the difference there? i guess she wanted to be in the limelight. i have some real big questions about this whole thing. host: jacqueline at philadelphia, your turn to share. caller: hi greta. remember,rs old and i i guess i was 14 that we had a teacher that taught photography in junior high school and it was just passed on by the girls would watch out for mr. michener. happened, he would rub against the girls and i turned around and i looked, i couldn't believe it. but no one said anything. no one said anything. it was a secret and stay away from him in the dark room. which i am now thinking i'm so glad these women are coming out. i'm so proud. it is not an easy thing. i was molested as a child. i know it is not an easy thing to do. some also credit facebook and twi

i think maria bartiromo blocked gretchen carlson on twitter this week. >> yes. >> and brian stelter fromlabama. this was the most amazing 30 seconds of news. within a 30 second she said i believe the accusers. i'm going to vote for roy moore. what are you supposed to do with that? >> women have an equal role in upholding rape culture. oh, here's the six women you can vote for for president who haven't been accused of sexual assault. i'm like, that's awesome. that's where we're at. >> i feel like for the republican party, jennifer, there have been all of these moments of sort of truth as to what the party is and stands for and as our resident former republican at the table, i wonder what the republican party thinks it stands for now. >> it's very interesting you should say that because governor ivy said i'm for what the republican party stands for. are they standing for child molesters? are they standing for simply hatred of the mainstream media? are they standing for hatred of the democrats? and the answer is i think so. they've been reduced to this tribal survival for survival sake and
