>>DONALD TRUMP DID SOMETHING LAST WEEK THAT DIDN'T GET MUCH
ATTENTION.
HE DECIDED TO UNDO WORKPLACE PROTECTIONS FOR WOMEN
THAT OBAMA HAD SIGNED AS AN EXECUTIVE ORDER IN 2014.
NOW --
>>BY THE WAY THAT AFFECTS EVERYONE, NOT JUST WOMEN --
>>WE ALL KNOW WHAT PAYCHECK TRANSPARENCY IS, THAT'S
IMPORTANT BECAUSE IF YOU ARE GETTING SCREWED BY YOUR EMPLOYER
PAY-WISE BASED ON DISCRIMINATORY PRACTICES, IT GIVES YOU
INFORMATION NECESSARY TO FIGHT IT.
WHEN IT COMES TO THE ISSUE
OF ARBITRATION, KEEP IN MIND THIS IS THE SAME THING THAT
PROTECTED FOX NEWS FOR SO LONG.
ARBITRATION CLAUSES WILL SETTLE
CASES INVOLVING SEXUAL ASSAULT OR SEXUAL HARASSMENT
OUT-OF-COURT SO IT WON'T BE PUBLIC.
COMPANIES DO THIS TO
PROTECT THEMSELVES, BUT THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION REALIZED IT
WAS PROBLEMATIC WHEN IT CAME TO SEXUAL ASSAULT OR HARASSMENT IN
THE WORKPLACE.
>>AND FOR THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION, THAT WAS NOT THE
PROBLEM, THAT WAS THE SOLUTION.
THEY ARE LIKE, GOOD, LET'S
EMPOWER COMPANIES TO LORD OVER YOU, AND IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS
WITH SEXUAL HARASSMENT, LIKE FOR EXAMPLE WHEN THE PRESIDENT DOES
IT, THEN YOU WON'T HAVE AS MUCH RECOURSE.
BUT THERE IS ONE THING
I KNOW, ANA, AND THAT IS THAT IVANKA TRUMP IS A CHAMPION FOR
WOMEN.
SHE WILL FIGHT BACK AND MAKE SURE THIS DOESN'T TAKE EFFECT.
>>LET ME ADD A LITTLE MORE TO THAT.
SO, THE ARGUMENT IS, OH,
IVANKA TRUMP, SHE'S A FEMINIST AND SO SHE'S GOING TO BE THE
ASSISTANT TO THE PRESIDENT TO KIND OF PULL HIM TO THE RIGHT
SIDE OF THINGS.
OKAY, SHE HASN'T DONE ANYTHING IN REGARD TO THIS
ISSUE.
HE SIGNED THIS ON MARCH 27, HAVEN'T HEARD OF PEOPLE FROM
IVANKA TRUMP.
SO SHE GETS A LOT OF HEAT FOR BEING COMPLICIT, AND
APPARENTLY SHE DOESN'T LIKE THAT.
>>IF BEING COMPLICIT IS WANTING TO -- IS WANTING TO BE A FORCE
FOR GOOD, AND TO MAKE A POSITIVE IMPACT, THEN I'M COMPLICIT.
I
DON'T KNOW THAT THE CRITICS WHO MAY SAY THAT OF ME, IF THEY
FOUND THEMSELVES IN THIS VERY UNIQUE AND UNPRECEDENTED
SITUATION THAT I'M NOW IN, WOULD DO ANY DIFFERENTLY THAT I'M
DOING.
>>WHAT HAVE YOU DONE, THOUGH?
BECAUSE WE MIGHT BE WRONG, MAYBE
SHE HAS FOUGHT TOOTH AND NAIL TO CONVINCE HER FATHER TO DO THE
RIGHT THING.
BUT WHEN?
WHERE IS THE EVIDENCE OF THAT?
>>WHEN DID YOUR FATHER EVER FIGHT FOR WOMEN'S RIGHTS?
WHEN
DID HE EVER NOT STRIP WOMEN TO FURTHER RIGHTS THEY HAD WHEN HE
CAME INTO OFFICE?
THERE ARE TWO THINGS IMPLICIT IN THAT
STATEMENT.
ONE IS, SHE COLLEGES THERE IS SOMETHING TO BE
COMPLICIT IN.
LET'S SAY BERNIE SANDERS WAS PRESIDENT AND I'M
SOMEHOW CONNECTED TO THAT ADMINISTRATION -- VERY UNLIKELY
-- AND THEY SAID ARE YOU COMPLICIT IN WHAT BERNIE SANDERS
DID?
I'D BE LIKE, YES, I LOVED WHAT BERNIE SANDERS DID.
NOTICE
SHE'S NOT SAYING IT, SHE'S DEFENSIVE BECAUSE SHE KNOWS WHAT
A MONSTER HER FATHER IS.
AND THEN SHE SAYS, BUT CAN YOU
REALLY BLAME ME?
I CAN, BECAUSE LOOK, IT'S NOT JUST BECAUSE HE
IS YOUR DAD.
FOR EXAMPLE, ANGELINA JOLIE IS THE DAUGHTER
OF JOHN VOIGT, JOHN VOIGT IS RIGHT-WING, ANGELINA JOLIE
IS LEFT-WING, SHE'S NOT COMPLICIT IN WHAT HE DOES
JUST BECAUSE SHE'S RELATED TO HIM, BUT HER DAD ISN'T
PRESIDENT AND SHE DOESN'T WORK FOR HIM.
YOU'RE DEAD AS PRESIDENT AND YOU WORK FOR HIM.
>>THAT'S RIGHT.
IF SHE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS
ADMINISTRATION AND SHE CAME OUT AND SAID I WANT NOTHING TO DO
WITH POLITICS, I DIDN'T RUN FOR OFFICE, THAT'S FINE WITH ME.
THERE IS NO CRITICISM ACTED TOWARD HER AS A RESULT OF THAT,
BUT THERE IS CRITICISM DIRECTED TOWARD HER IF SHE'S LITERALLY
EMPLOYED IN THE WHITE HOUSE AND THE WHOLE IDEA IS THAT SHE'S THE
ASSISTANT TO THE PRESIDENT AND HER JOB DESCRIPTION ENTAILS THAT
SHE CONVINCE HIM TO DO THE RIGHT THING ON ISSUES LIKE SOCIAL
ISSUES.
>>AND BY THE WAY, I DON'T BELIEVE HER.
HOW DO I KNOW SHE
IS TRYING TO PULL HIM TO THE RIGHT SIDE?
WE HAVE NO EVIDENCE
OF THAT, WE HAVE IS TWEETS WHERE SHE CELEBRATES EQUAL PAY DAY.
DOES SHE DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT?
NOTHING, AT LEAST AS FAR AS
ANYONE CAN TELL.
AND IF SHE DID SOMETHING ABOUT IT, SHE ISN'T
READILY INEFFECTIVE.
YES, YOU WORK FOR THE PRESIDENT, YOU ARE
COMPLICIT IN ALL
OF HIS ACTIONS.
