Very beginning when i first talked to you about this. its been a really rough couple of months. its been hollywood, media, capitol hill, all of which need to set higher standards, be leaders. we need to make sure were figuring out how this is real for the tip waitress, factory worker, lawyer, nurse, teacher. i have heard pretty horrific stories. the question; how are we going to go forward? i keep saying this. i was back home last week. the stories keep getting more horrific. i have a mother at ...

Chris: i want to talk about that. well talk about reforms in a moment, but lets review what we have seen on capitol hill just recently. excuse me. three members of congress resigned this past week, three more have either settled sex harassment cases or face allegations. congresswoman dingell, how widespread do you think this problem is? ive heard reports that as many as 30 or 40 members of the house and senate may face allegations of sexual harassment. >> im hearing those same rumors. the number...
