CSPAN Washington Journal January 24, 2014

Dont have a war on women. They have a war for women. For them to be empowered, to be something other than victims of their gender. Women are out rate are outraged that democrats think are smart,w educated, intelligent, capable of doing anything anyone else can do. Our party stands for the the quality and capacity of women. Want to insults women of america by making them believe that they are helpless with out pop a sugar coming in and providing for them a prescription each month for Birth Control as they cannot control their libido or reproductive system without the help of the government, then so be it, let us take that discussion all across america because women are far more than the democrats have played them to be and women across america need to stand up and say, enough of that nonsense. I think it is time we leave that discussion. The this morning on washington journal we want to get your reaction on what Mike Huckabee had to say. Segment, women only please. The phone lines we want to get your reaction to what Mike Huckabee had to say. The is how that portion of speech played out in some of the publications we get out here in washington. Here is the National Journal in politico this morning and from the hill newspaper this morning Senate Candidates todd akin and Richard Murdoch made comments on abortion a cap them in trouble on abortion that got them in trouble. That got them in trouble. More from the hill many other republican officials have taken flak for apostasys over the years and some divisive primaries have caused them house and senate seats. Reaction to remarks yesterday. Jay carney from the white house also reacted. [video clip] demo not long ago the rnc winter meeting not long ago at the rnc winter meeting, Mike Huckabee said that women are helpless without uncle sugar coming in and providing them a prescription for Birth Control because they cannot control their libido or reproductive system without the help of government. Is that the president s message . I have seen that report. Whoever said it sounds passive to me. We want to get your reaction to what Mike Huckabee had to say. Lisa is calling from mason city, illinois. You are on cspan. Good morning. Please go ahead. What did you think about what governor huckabee had to say . Caller i dont really have a problemw it with it. Maybe because i dont take Birth Control anymore, or whatever. I like huckabee. I like what hes saying about other issues besided the libido, ok . Host this is sandy and ramona, california on our republican line. Caller good morning. We came out with Birth Control pills we have had less breastcancer. People are getting less breastcancer at younger ages. A lot of it has to do with Birth Control pills. I think our government needs to stay out of whether or not women take them. Go directly to governor huckabees remarks, what do you think about them . It is up to each individual. I like governor huckabee. Nownt knwo wh who started the Birth Control pills but we havent done enough bid ich to get them out think we have more women coming down with breastcancer. Nobody will do their research on this. Host thank you from california. From the National Journal this morning republicans are risking the next todd akin by going on the bid for abortion. It is easy to see why, talking about abortion doom republicans into states. In indiana candidates Richard Murdoch sealed his fate with controversial comments about rape and pregnancy. The National Party has preferred to focus its rhetoric elsewhere. Isnt 2012, and National Republicans are waiting back into the fray. 2014 isnt 2012, and National Republicans are wading back in the fray. For democrats for democrats, its difficult to understand why the gop would be emphasizing an issue that ultimately cost the party to senate seats in the last cycle, but for many republicans it is too important to ignore. Jerry is a democrat in georgia, good morning. Me being a woman and cents huckabee cant speak for a woman and since huckabee cant speak for a woman, i dont understand how you can speak for a woman. Why are so many men trying to tell women what to do with their bodies . Tot gives them the right decide what is right for me . To me that is very insulting and there is no way they can change and make it look right. You look like you all hate women. At least give a woman a chacne body. O talk about our you cant speak for me. Host thank you. Vivian tweets front page of the Washington Times this morning, a big article and on the inside, i want to read just a little bit of what the Washington Times has in here dorothy is an independent in baltimore. The morning. Good morning. Caller this is getting really crazy. Think about it. Women donting me want to have abortion, then you say we dont want to take Birth Control. Whats next, we cant vote . Just want to say one more thing on this. We pay taxes. So when they say sugar government, or whatever he was saying, we pay taxes. And they are using health care with our taxes. The government is not giving us anything. We are the government. We paid our way. They are going to far. Whats next, we have to wear long dresses . Thank you, dorothy. Lori posts on our Facebook Page and kelly says linda is a democrat in connecticut. Please go ahead. Caller i just find it funny that i dont care one little bit if mr. Huckabee takes viagra and he seems to be very worried if i am going to take Birth Control. It is funny how the pendulum never swings both ways. About prescriptions, who is going to pay for what. I have never heard a discussion at all about men taking viagra. Id have never heard a discussion about deadbeat dads that go and in pregnant women to woman to woman. And impregnate women to women to women. To woman. O woman huckabee,like mr. Stop with the nonsense about what women are doing and worry a little bit more about what men are or not or are not doing. Thank you. Milford,t is linda in connecticut. We want to hear from women only on the issue of no gop war on women. You can see the numbers theyre divided by political affiliation.

Orning in an oped by that is a little bit from usa today. And the headline of the Washington Times editorial that is a little bit from the Washington Times on wendy davis. Acura calls on Mike Huckabees remarks on no gop war on women are comichele is back to your calls on Mike Huckabees remarks on no gop war on women. Michelle is coming next. It has two different purposes, what the contraception does. It prevents life. Prevents birth. Therefore lets say a husband says, honey did you take your Birth Control. Did youuld say, life, prevent for viagra is wrong. Go to Mike Huckabees remarks. What do you think what he had to say echo he had to say . Caller i agree with what he says. Ofes a lot of kurdish courage. I 100 support what he says. Say women are not educated on knowing what contraception does, it prevents life. Host stacy is in laurel, maryland. Go ahead. Caller good morning, cspan. I cant believe i have to go after that. I called him because i am working and i cant tweet. What he said i heard it several times because ive been up all night. The United States im sorry, pimp . Sugar, that is my whats wrong with them . Mysoginisticost that is the most misogynistic thing i have ever heard. And women think it is ok for him to talk like that to . Say. S what i have to we need to get rid of these misogynistic men. I dont care what wendys davis said what wendy davis said. I have never seen a man have a child. Women have more courage, more guts, more strength than any man ever. None of you are ever going to be able to have that child. My child killed me my child nearly killed me. Some nerve to say the United States is pimping me out. That was stacy in laurel, maryland. This is anna in arizona. Democrats line. Caller good morning, peter. Most of what to mr. Huckabee said. I used to have a lot of respect for him. And all i heard was about the Birth Control pills and women controlling their libido. I think that road can run both being a i admit to leftleaning democrat, which has nothing to do because i listen to washington journal closed quote every morning and i watch cspan a lot washington journal every morning and i watch cspan a lot. Of this has nothing this has nothing to do with controlling your libido. Just look how long it took the Republican Party to get a woman on a ticket for vice president. I just feel like they tried to keep women down because theyre not because there are not as many women in congress. I dont think it is just up to a woman to control her libido. Like the one lady said, theyre not men are not the ones that have the children. I also resent the fact that i dont know if women now can get Birth Control undweer the new insurance laws, but i know men can get viagra. Justnkt ha that it is not on one person. Should bet think men able to tell a woman what she should do as far as her physical body. You. Thank Mike Huckabee spoke at the National Committee winter meeting. [video clip] think it is time republicans no longer accept listening to the democrats talk about a war on women. Because the fact is the republicans dont have a war on women. Women. Ve a war for for them to be empowered, for them to be something other than victims of their gender. Women i know are outraged. Democrats think that women are nothing more than helpless and hopeless creatures whose only goal in life is to have the government provide for them Birth Control medication. Control medication. Women are smart, intelligent, and capable of doing anything anyone else can do. Our party stands for the recognition of the quality and capacity of women. That is not a war on them, that is a war for them. If democrats want to insult the women of america by making them believe that they are helpless without uncle sugar coming in and providing for them a prescription each month for Birth Control because they cannot control their libido or reproductive system without the help of the government come a then so be it of the government, and so be it. Discussion toe america. America needs to stand up and say, enough of that nonsense. [applause] out shelle tweets is with the daily caller and fox news she tweets out from our facebook conversation this morning, tina says marlene is calling from minnesota on the independent line. Good morning. I am calling to say i agree with Mike Huckabee 100 . With theisgusted democrat attitude toward women. The only thing they talk about rightth control and the to control your own body. In other words, abortion rights for women. Is that all women have that is that the democrats think is important for women . They are badly mistaken. I am an educated woman. I am in my 60s, i am a nurse. I am so insulted and just angry. Any time a republican says that statements such as Mike Huckabee he if is he isnt even saying hes against earth control pills. Against Birth Control pills. I have a lot more going on in life than just that. I love my children and i love my grandchildren. I dont know where i would be without them . Without them. Host thank you for calling them. A tweets from politico this morning, sean louiety is going to be gohmerts state of the union guest. Also from politico this morning, considers running for tom coburn yours seat. Tom coburns seat. Enise is calling in caller i absolutely disagree with mr. Huckabee. Speech. D his [indiscernible] republicans are judging women. Women are doing with their bodies would god gave them their bodies for. Stop talking about women issues. Michelle is a republican in church than, maryland. Churchton, maryland. Caller i am listening to these callers this morning. I totally agree with huckabee. Country has ahis personal responsibility. Take responsibility for yourselves. I dont believe the government should be paying for everybodys Birth Control. Caller saysd a women are smarter then democrats are making them out to be. They are trying to dumb down women in this country. I dont understand how so many women can hear and believe what the Republican Party is saying. The government is there to help. It is not a crutch. You dont have a baby so the government can pay for it. Host when you hear the phrase war on women what do you think . Caller it angers me. I dont believe there is a war on women. They want you to believe it. Thatjust want you to think the Republican Party is out to get them. That is not the truth. The Republican Party wants women to grow and be all they can be because we can, we are that strong and we are sometimes a lot stronger than men. I believe that. I am 45 and just going back to school to be a nurse. I want to be all i can be. It is not easy. I am a mother of three living off of single income. It is taking pride in yourself. Fbi menendez challenges report nbc for new york reported thursday that the euro is probing whether the chairman of Senate Foreign Relations Committee preserve the Obama Administration to keep our office works each year with literally hundreds of individuals and families from across the country who are seeking help with the immigration process. We reviewed each and every request we receive and if we feel any inquiry is appropriate, we make it. Thetor menendez believes family had been politically persecuted in ecuador, including through the confiscation of Media Outlets they own, which were critical of the government. We are not aware of any inquiry into the senators actions on this matter. In politico this morning, the rnc moves to condense the 2016 primaries. And the wall street journal theuote reports wall street journal reports house gop leaders have made no final decision a little bit from the wall street journal this morning. Our next call comes from lisa in westfield, indiana on the independent line. We are talking about Mike Huckabees remark that there is no gop war on women. What do you think . Caller i think that is interesting. I want to respond some of the things respond to some of the things callers have said this morning. Have seent year i democrats and independents issue of equale , i have seen them talk about lots of issues to bring a women equal with their male counterparts. What i see from republicans is they are trying to hold that pack. Hold that back. Theres no reason Birth Control should be an issue. They dont care that men can plant their seed and walk away and leave women responsible for that pregnancy, i think it shows that women are very responsible and the fact we are the primary caregivers and we cannot get the government to recognize that men have a responsibility in that, i think it is disgusting we have so many members of the gop that are wanting to talk about womens issues when they dont seem to understand what the true issue is. You would have thought the gop would have learned from Richard Murdoch and his comments here in indiana and what that did to his political career. Is that int to make believe women are smarter than what any politician ever gives us credit for. To stand up for ourselves and we need to make sure that men are held accountable for their actions. We take responsibility for our actions and our male politicians need to do the same. Host john boehner announced yesterday that representative Cathy Mcmorris rodgers will give a response to the state of the union on tuesday night by president obama. And the New York Times is reporting this morning that las vegas is eager to host republicans at the 2016 convention. Almost every imaginable convention has found its way to the strip. There have been gatherings devoted to electronics, pizza, computers, to gin equipment, concrete not to mention guns, butter, and pornography. He donna from flagstaff, arizona, what you think about Mike Huckabees remark . Caller i think he pretty much hung himself. With a woman caller before me shesaid the independent said pretty much what i wanted to say. I am not happy with either party. I wish we could have a system like they have in germany where if you have 10 of the vote then you have 10 representation. I think that would give us a choice. What Mike Huckabee said is totally outrageous about us controlling our libido. Viagra, 84 does take by hibbs Health Insurance paid for by his Health Insurance, im sure. I you are a believer, like am what is that supposed to mean .
