, the hormones are doing some things there, pregnancy and lactation, and our body's own hormones work at these amazingly small amounts to make these big dramatic changes happen at these important periods of time, so it's not surprising perhaps that external chemicals na look to our body like hormones would have a somewhat notable effects at these same periods of development so that's an important concept that we're starting to see and chemicals that are endocrine disrupting compounds or hormone disrupters as you might hear them called are a big focus of the work we've been doing and of the data that's been emerging in the scientific literature in the last ten years so this is exciting stuff and we'll talk about specifics about that in a minute, another important theme that emerges that we were talking about our meeting earlier is that mixtures matter, it all adds upfinger so some of the chemicals i'm going to talk about you might be exposed to -- kids might be exposed in toys and in food products and in personal care products and all of these different things, so that you get an accum

gee whiz the hormone level created by nature sets in place the possibility for these types of thingsr so we've got to be very careful in our readdress it on our side. >> michael: was that flimsy excuse used in your case, brigette? >> yes, i hear lots of statements like that. it's hormones, it's war the fragility of the situation women being in combat, women being close to men. it is a moral issue. it has to do with people taking--doing a criminal act. if someone stole your car you wouldn't say it was their hormones that caused them to come and rob you and take your car. i mean, there is just this idea that because it's physical that it's sexual, this is not sexual. it has to do with power. it has to do with someone wanting to wield their power over you make you defenseless and take your power away. saying that it has to do with your hormones, then that means that everybody who goes into the military at 17 years old is a rapist. >> michael: right, and that's another reason, as you said, to keep people out of the military and if you had people like chandlees, that's what they would wan

many of us have experienced the effects that hormonal shifts can have on the brain. leah, a 55-year-old college instructor from california, writes that "hormones are at all-time high at our house. like many mothers of older teenagers, i was going through menopause. i felt absentminded, had low energy, i couldn't make decisions, i could not concentrate on issues at work and i had no patience at home. leah also wrote that, "i found taking procera noticeably helped with my short-term memory and ability to stay on task." she goes on to say, "because i felt more organized and in control, my mood improved and my patience deepened, and i credit procera with helping get me through some really difficult times." >> yes, many women really struggle with brain fog and memory loss from hormonal changes throughout their lives, during and after menopause. and even after childbirth. for many, procera may really help. >> well, dr. bresky, we are nearing the end of the broadcast-- are there any last words you'd like to share with our audience? >> thanks, patrice. if you're embarrassed

when he's talking about hormones being the cause of rape, he has a fundamental misunderstanding about actually is. >> and to put this in a political context and i don't want to take away from the seriousness of sexual assault itself, but when you've had a number of republicans saying we've got to get away from these crazy statements and republicans ar trying to reach out to women voters and just bringing back to all these problems that have been raised on the war on women. >> i think it's a mistake. the most striking thing about what happened at the who aring yesterday is the bipartisan support to hold the military to account. john mccain was clear on this. kelly ayotte was clear on this. from a bipartisan perspective, the senate is outraged. they want the military to do something about it. >> john feehery, thanks to both of you. i want to bring in debbie wasserman shulgs. good morning. you said senator should apologize. >> yes, he should apologize. the comments he made yesterday are emblematic of what kristen gillibrand said yesterday. you have military commanders and the people who

>> absolutely, and hormones con contribute to rape.tch out for all the 15-year-old boys in my neighborhood. cenk: it reminded me of fundamentalist muslims like the way are we've got to cover up the women because men's hormones are out of control. men are natural born rapist, if they see any part of a woman they'll rape them. excusing rape in the military, because they have hormones. >> he's leaving office. i don't know if that's a reason to be excited. when it comes to women in the gop, they don't have candidates or people in their party who stick up for women. megan mccain does a good job but she's being pushed into the margins of her party. i believe there are progressive ideas in the gop they just get shrouded by all of the craziness that comes out quite regularly. cenk: megyn kelly did a good job there of standing up against the guys. look how weirdly sexual they were with the dominant stuff. noah, help me out here, how is this not a good way to reach out to women if you're trying to get their votes? >> it's pretty self evident. i'
