outrage over a comment made about ivanka trump on fox news. back now with my panel.o i want to play a clip from fox news. it was last night. this is jesse watters, who is bill o'reilly's protege, making a comment about the way ivanka trump was speaking into a microphone during a summit in berlin. let's listen. >> i don't know why also saying, you know, that my father respects families is controversial. i mean, he's probably hired a ton of fathers and mothers and children so i don't really get what's going on here, but i really liked how she was speaking into that microphone. >> so maria, that comment came under immediate fire for being, of course, sexist and inappropriate. what do you think? >> absolutely, i mean there's no way you can read it any other way. and i'm sorry, if you're a host at fox news, that's how you want it going down? the sensitivity is working out for them. it's misogynistic and bigheaded and reminds everyone of the culture that's been alive and well at fox news thus far. they need to do a cleanup. >> in a statement today waters denined that it wa

we're talking ivanka trump.aking her debut on the world stage as first daughter and adviser to the president. at the invitation of german chancer angela merkel she's in berlin for the w-20 summit focusing on women's economic issues. she faced a friendly crowd as she talked about her evolving role as assistant to the president, but the audience quickly turned on her when she mentioned her father's record. take a look. >> he has been a tremendous champion of supporting families and enabling them to thrive. in the new reality of -- >> you -- you -- >> you hear the reaction from the audience. i need to address one more point. some attitudes towards women your father has publicly displayed in former times might leave one questioning whether he is such an empowerer for women. how do you relate to that? are things changing or what's your comment on that? >> i certainly heard the criticism from the media. and that's been perpetuated. but i know from personal experience, and i think the thousands of women who have worked

first daughter ivanka trump takes to the world stage, making her first ivanka trump takes to the worldst big international trip. .. back in the us, all of this is headline news. already an influential adviser to her father with her own office already an influential adviser to herfather with her own office in the white house, ivanka trump now and seems to be working to improve relations between the us and germany. when donald trump that the germany. when donald trump that the german leader angela merkel in washington last month, it did not appear to go well. but at one of the meetings, ivanka trump was placed next to the chancellor, they seemed to strike up a relationship, leading to strike up a relationship, leading to the invitation to attend the summit in berlin. i definitely think that for angela merkel, it is a diplomatic move tee move, very strategic. —— it is a diplomatic move. going via ivanka trump to improve relationships with the us. while that benefits angela merkel, it also pushes ivanka trump even more into the limelight, raising further questions about the role of the pre

dagen: the first lady role, why didn't ivanka play some of that? >> i was making a short list of people who benefited, going back to john quincy adams who was appointed by his father, president john adams, you had bobby kennedy, hillary clinton trying to run healthcare when she was first lady, and put in by fdr as secretary, the history of nepotism good or bad goes back a long way. not sure it has been any harm and if you want to work for free and have great ideas. dagen: she is a big advocate for women. i am not completely against nepotism, the healthcare roles, and rfk after that, lyndon johnson prevents you hiring relatives. she is not qualified to work in the white house, has no basis to work in the white house, there are plenty of women morse qualified and -- >> that is offensive -- she is not qualified because she wasn't in politics that she worked for the trump organization. she went to wharton, and nepotism nepotism. it is unpaid and has to follow the government ethics will. >> want to talk about qualified in washington dc you want to have

i think she knows if she gets a good relationship with ivanka trump and ivanka repeats that to her fatheroing to help the so-called chemistry that donald trump was talking about recently where he claimed to despite his refusal to shake her hand in public was that was construed. >> ivanka trump talking about her issues, do we have any idea what ivanka trump's position is on any governing issue? >> well, she has publicly during the campaign and since said she's a champion for equal pay, a champion for paid family leave and all of these issues. but these are not issues that her father has taken an outright stance on or championed for that matter, even though she claims that he's a champion. what was so interesting to me about this meeting today is that she was up there on the stage as what they were calling the double u 20. a women's leadership part of the g-20. and i have actually attended some of these meetings before when i used to cover secretary of state hillary clinton because she was involved in these similar summits held ae all over the world with women leaders. it was fascinating ho

ivanka is passionate about that as well.aken one of the potentially most powerful positions in the white house. one of the most powerful women in the world. now she has to be accountable for what she says she is so passionate about. this morning to address gender pay gap we appreciate that she is. but what are the action steps. if you look at the president's policies thus far they diametrically opposed. last week to pull back on protection that president obama put in place for women this the workplace, to defund planned parenthood, the u.n. health fund. there is really a mismatch in what's actually being done from a policy perspective and today speaking to those ceos yes it sounds great, putting people back to work with public/private partnerships. what does that mean. ivanka traunk sat next to angela merkel two weeks ago. there they calked about job building. this week she says she is excited to work with mark ben offon his apprentice program. inv orders been signed? where is the money? this is talk. if you are going to tak

how about a round of applause for that last panel, ivanka, dean, wilbur. it's a pleasure to welcome you to the white house. thank you so much. i want to thank everyone involved in the partnership for new york city. michael corbett, steven schwartzman. it's an honor to have the leaders that are gathered in the room here with us today. i know the president is on his way over, it's my great privilege this morning to share a few thoughts in the midst of this important conversation on the topics that you're covering before i introduce my friend and the 45th president of the united states. but let me say first and foremost, the companies represented in the partnership for new york city are all american success stories. you have our admirion. you have our appreciation. your businesses account for more than seven million jobs and you add over $1 trillion to our economy each and every year. what's more important is the people behind the numbers and the topics that you've covered today are all about creating more jobs and more opportunities for americans who are --

maybe ivanka will force of the consideration of what being first lady means.t should be someone who wants it and recognizes the responsibility and opportunity that comes with -- >> did ivanka inherit the title? she has no experience in government and has a brand and a famous name. >> i would argue that has not come true. i don't think she's filling in as first lady. she's carving out a world we have never seen before. we never had a first lady of the first wing office with the exception of hillary clinton and that did not work out. what ivanka is doing way more ambitious than any first lady attempted to do. there is a concern that some people have and like you are saying she heretoinherited this position. and robert kennedy should be noted that had to be confirmed as attorney general. there is no conconfirmations. she's an intelligent woman, she knows what she's doing and she knows it can be controversial. >> we know she has been sitting in with former meetings and she's been out spoken on women's issues saying she wants to be apart of women's issues in the wo

are we hopeful that ivanka's passions will turn into policy. without a doubt. >> the thing i hear most frequently from republicans privately is they're not sure it's appropriate for her to be there, they're not sure anyone else could get away with it. but of all of the things that keeps them up at night about donald trump, ivanka trump is not one of them. >> we've heard the jokes from "saturday night live" to dinner conversations. as long as jump and jared are in the room, people can be a little more at ease with regard to how sporadic her father can act. she's the exact opposite. everything she does is said with precision. she doesn't turn to twitter right away. when she was speaking in germany, she had the same talking points. i've heard that myth perpetuated through the media. people are asking are you adviser, are you first daughter. what is your role here. that's yet to be determined. but i think it goes back to trump's base. i think he loves having her with him. he trusts her. and as long as his base -- you spend a lot of time with these

thank you, germany, for booing ivanka trump.edator who stands with predators, never with women. chris cillizza wrote this against the boos and defending ivanka trump. basically saying you can hate donald trump's views on the treatment of women but do expect ivanka trump to publicly condemn her father or his record on women's issues is a bridge too far. it's impossible to know what ivanka trump does or doesn't do to influence her father's views behind the scenes. the fact she is his daughter, booing her for defending her dad is poor form. >> she has an office in the white house. she has a staff that we are all paying for through our tax dollars. if she were living a private life, it would be different. but she has assumed this role and we certainly have the right to criticize her. you know she wants to call herself a feminist and talk about women's empowerment. i can't think of a single specific policy that she could support. stronger pay equity laws. a longer statute of limitations for sexual harassment and retaliation claims. a

donald trump listens to ivanka.ntee that all the issues that she is promising will get there. just give them time. >> sandra: we want to break in with this breaking news. this just entered the house freedom freedom caucus is announcing support for the obamacare replacement for the revised health care proposal. support from moderates and the g.o.p., obviously it's still uncertain. they just issued a statement on this saying over the past couple of months, house conservatives have worked tirelessly to improve the american health care act to make it better for the macon people. due to those improvements, the house freedom caucus has taken an official position and support of the current proposal. that's big news. we'll stay on it. more "outnumbered" in just a moment. swings. sure we could travel, take it easy... but we've never been the type to just sit back... not when we've got so much more to give when you have the right financial advisor, life can be brilliant. ameriprise manait's a series of is nsmart choices. and

ivanka trump wants to take on these issues.we've heard from her in the past she cares about climate change. she met with al gore and leonardo dicaprio. it is encouraging jared kushner wants to focus on innovation, but when you think about nefgs it is connected to things like technology, research. the nih defunded, research, we are seeing less and less of that from the government. she is in a very difficult position, but she has chosen to be in the fast lane. if she wants to be in that fast lane, she has to put her seatbelt on and be accountable. in terms of what can she do, actually try to move things in terms of policy. and if her father does listen to her so closely, we would like to see where. you know, she said something in th interview that her father knows where she agrees with him and where she doesn't. the american people want to know. you know, when that women's march took place ivanka didn't comment on it, she didn't make a statement. it doesn't mean she has to be in support of it but to acknowledge it. justin trudeau

ivanka later told reporters, quote, politics is politics. i'm used to it. it's fine.ther she influenced her father's decision to bomb syria, the first daughter, said, quote, that would be a flawed interpretation adding that the decision was, quote, incredibly well-informed and advised at every level. her visit at the invitation of german chancellor angela merkel comes just weeks after a rather chilly first meeting between merkel and president trump at the white house. the invitation and an offer perhaps to warm relations with germany where media has deemed ivanka, quote, the first whisperer to president trump. >> thank you for having me here. >> reporter: the international spotlight followed as ivanka played the role of chief diplomat touring a deck logical school where she joked about coffee. >> you may need to pour me a cup. >> reporter: ivanka who converted to judaism before she married her husband jared kushner then toured the berlin holocaust memorial. a delicate visit taking place while president trump spoke at a holocaust rememberance back in washington. the pr
