I'M HERE WITH MY PANEL.
NIGHTLY SHOW WRITER HOLLY WALKER.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] >> COMEDIAN AND ACTRESS SUSIE
ESSMAN.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] >> AND CO-HOST OF THE VIEW AND
AUTHOR OF THE NEW BOOK "MADAM PRESIDENT," NICOLLE WALLACE.
>> IT'S A NOVEL.
MADAM PRESIDENT.
>> I LIKE THE WAY YOU SAY THAT.
>> IT'S GOOD.
THIS TIME MAGAZINE THING I WANT TO TALK ABOUT FIRST
I'LL JUST QUOTE IT AGAIN.
DR. JULIE -- [LAUGHING]
>> SO, SHE SAID BIOLOGICALLY SPEAKING POST MENOPAUSAL WOMAN
ARE IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR LEADERSHIP.
THEY'RE PRIMED TO HANDLE STRESS WELL. AND THERE IS OF COURSE NO
MORE STRESSFUL JOB THAN THE PRESIDENCY. IS THERE TRUTH IN
THAT? I'M NOT SUGGESTING ANYONE IS POST MENOPAUSAL.
>> I'M PROUDLY POST MENOPAUSAL.
>> GOOD.
>> HERE IS WHAT I THINK ABOUT THAT.
THE STATEMENT IS NOT IN ITSELF TRUE.
THE STATEMENT WOULD BE FALSE IF SHE ADDED PREMENOPAUSAL WOMAN
ARE NOT EQUIPPED TO BE PRESIDENT. I THINK AS YOU GET
OLDER YOU ARE MORE EQUIPPED TO HANDLE STRESS BUT
SAYING SOMETHING LIKE THAT TO ME IS LIKE SAYING IF WE HAVE A MALE
PRESIDENT HE HAS TO BE A EUNICH OR A CASTRATI.
THAT'S LIKE SAYING YOU CAN'T HAVE A MAN WITH A SEX DRIVE BE
PRESIDENT.
YOU CAN'T HAVE A WOMAN WHO IS MENSTRUATING BE PRESIDENT.
IT'S STUPID >> I AGREE.
>> I KNOW YOU HAD A GUEST WITH THE BOOK "WHEN THE BALLS DROP."
I THINK TIME MAGAZINE OWES AS MANY COLUMN INCHES TO SAY WHERE
MEN ARE IN THE PROCESS.
THAT'S A THING.
I DIDN'T KNOW THAT.
THEY ACHE, THEY DROP.
>> YOU KNOW THIS ABOUT BRAD GARRETT'S BALLS?
>> I THINK -- >> IT'S IN THE BOOK.
>> OKAY.
>> NICOLLE IF THEY HAVE PROSTATE PROBLEMS THEY PEE NONSTOP.
>> OH MY GOD.
>> HOW CAN YOU STARE DOWN VLADIMIR IF YOU HAVE TO PEE.
>> EXACTLY.
>> SERIOUSLY.
>> VERY GOOD POINT.
>> IF MENOPAUSAL WOMEN ARE ON THE TABLE SO ARE BALL ACHES.
>> OKAY.
IF A MAN IS 35 OR 40 HE MAYBE JERKING OFTEN 10 TIMES A DAY.
THAT'S WHAT GUYS DO.
>> MAYBE.
>> THEN WE CAN ONLY HAVE EUNICHS RUN FOR PRESIDENT.
IT'S RIDICULOUS.
>> ISN'T CASTRATI LIKE AN ITALIAN CAR?
I ACTUALLY THINK THERE IS SOME TRUTH TO IT.
I THINK THAT POST MENOPAUSAL WOMAN ARE IDEAL CANDIDATES.
I THINK THAT PREMENOPAUSAL WOMEN ARE GREAT CANDIDATES.
I THINK DURING MENOPAUSAL ARE GREAT CANDIDATES.
ALL OF THE PAUSALS ARE GOOD CANDIDATES.
>> ALL THE OF THE PAUSALS.
>> CAN I -- >> GO AHEAD, PLEASE.
>> HERE IS THE THING WHEN I WAS PREMENOPAUSAL AND HAD A PERIOD
ONCE A MONTH, I RAN A CAREER, I BROUGHT UP CHILDREN, I RAN A
HOUSEHOLD.
I DID ALL OF THESE THINGS PLUS BLEEDING EVERY MONTH.
HOW COULD I POSSIBLY DO THAT HAVING MY PERIOD --
>> NICOLLE, YOU HAVE A FULL-TIME JOB.
>> YES I WAS IN THE WHITE HOUSE AND EVERY 28 DAYS I BLED
BUT THE COUNTRY WENT ON. >> OH.
>> THERE HAS BEEN ENOUGH WOMEN IN THE WHITE HOUSE.
WOMEN AS NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISORS.
LISTEN THIS IS -- THIS IS YOUR TOPIC NOT OURS.
>> TELL IS ABOUT THE BLEEDING EVERY 28 DAYS.
>> LARRY, I'M BLEEDING RIGHT NOW.
[BEEP] >> EVERYTHING IS --
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] >> YES YOU'RE SPEAKING.
>> I'M TALKING AND THINGS ARE OKAY.
>> WE'RE NOT VICTORIAN WOMAN HAVING FAINTING SPELLS
>> YOU KNOW -- >> OKAY.
>> ON THE FAINTING COUCH, ARRRGGGH!
ON PERIOD CAN'T TALK.
SOMETHING'S WRONG! MORE CHOCOLATE AND SALTED NUTS!
[LAUGHING] >> TO ME -- IT'S LIKE WE'RE
ACTING LIKE WOMEN ARE A CREATURE WE HAVE NEVER MET BEFORE.
>> EXACTLY.
>> WHAT'S THIS BIOLOGY WE'RE NOT FAMILIAR WITH?
>> YOU KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE IN THE AUDIENCE ARE POTENTIALLY
BLEEDING RIGHT NOW?
THINGS ARE NOT GOING -- WE'RE NOT BURNING DOWN STUFF.
WE CAN STILL TALK.
>> THE WHOLE SUBJECT -- I FIND IT OFFENSIVE.
I DO.
>> HOW SHOULD HILLARY HANDLE IT?
>> SHE SHOULDN'T PAY ATTENTION.
>> REAGAN HANDLED ALL THIS STUFF WITH JOKES.
WHEN THEY TALKED ABOUT HIS AGE. >> THAT'S BECAUSE HE HAD
ALZHEIMERS >> NO BUT HE SLAMMED MONDALE.
I THOUGHT HILLARY COULD SAY "HOPE AND GONE THROUGH THE
CHANGE." >> THEY LIKE IT.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] >> OR HOW ABOUT IF HOLLY WAS THE
CAMPAIGN MANAGER.
I'M BLEEDING RIGHT NOW, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?
>> IGNORE IT.
>> DON'T GIVE IT ENERGY.
IT'S A RIDICULOUS TOPIC.
>> THE VOTERS WILL MAKE THEIR OWN CORRECTIONS.
THEY HAVE A WAY TO SIFT THROUGH THIS.
THE PEOPLE DETERMINING THE OUTCOME OF PRESIDENTIAL
ELECTIONS ARE WOMEN.
>> THEY ARE THE LARGEST GROUP OF SWING VOTERS AND INDEPENDENTS.
THAT'S WHO THE CANDIDATES ARE SPEAKING TO IN THE END, IN THE
CLOSING DAYS OF ANY ELECTION
SO THEY'RE IMPORTANT.
>> YES, THEY ARE.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHEN OTHER WOMEN THROW SHADE ON WOMEN
SOMETIMES.
I WANT TO SHOW THIS CEO CLIP.
I THINK YOU TALKED ABOUT THIS ON MORNING JOE.
>> I AM A STRONG WOMEN.
I RUN MY OWN COMPANY LIKE YOU SAID.
BUT THAT IS NOT THE SAME AS RUNNING THE BEST COUNTRY IN THE
WORLD AND BEING COMMANDER IN CHIEF AND HEAD OF STATE.
THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
TO ME SHOULD BE A MAN.
NOT A FEMALE.
>> OKAY.
OBVIOUSLY -- >> WAS SHE TRANSGENDER.
>> NO.
DON'T GO DOWN THAT ROAD, SUSIE
>> JUST ASKING.
>> OBVIOUSLY SHE'S CRAY.
>> SHE SAYS -- >> ARE WOMEN, WOMENS BIGGEST
OBSTACLES?
>> THEY CAN BE.
SHE SAID IN HER FACEBOOK POST IF A WOMAN WON SHE WOULD MOVE TO
CANADA.
>> IF A WOMAN WON SHE WOULD MOVE TO CANADA?
>> YES.
>> PLEASE, HILLARY WE NEED YOU NOW MORE THAN EVER.
>> THOSE POOR CANADIANS.
>> DEMOCRATS THREATEN TO MOVE TO CANADA TOO FOR REPUBLICANS
WE HAVE TO HOLD ANYONE THIS CYCLE --
>> THIS MENSTRUAL CYCLE?
>> YES. >> IT'S NOT FAIR TO THE
CANADIANS. THEY'RE LOVELY PEOPLE
>> THEY'VE GOT MORE SPACE THOUGH.
>> I DON'T THINK THE CANADIANS WANT ANY OF THESE PEOPLE.
