i think pat robertson knows that. i do agree partially with the statement is, yes, we are all sinners. men are sinners. but so are women as well. the fact of the matter is, when you about ut two sinners together, there's a lot of sin in the relationship. but you should seek christ first. i think that's what he would tell you. it doesn't fall all on the woman's responsibility to be a good wife. it doesn't prevent her being a perfect wife, and him being a perfect husband doesn't prevent infidelity at all. if he's perfect, she still can stray, and if she's perfect, he still can stray. we're just two >> well, you're very generous to pat. let me quote something that one christian pastor wrote about pat robertson today. i assure you i oppose nearly everything pat robertson says. i think he's a lunatic looking to gain attention and most importantly, donations to his foundation. robertson says his program reaches one million americans a day which is a shocking thing but -- >> he's a clan leader. >> there are a lot of people w

the message of the changes that aca will bring, and-and what is that message, pat? that addiction recovery is a health care issue. we have a briefing-briefing document on our website that explains why, and one of the important issues that we cover in that is the opportunity for so many people who haven't been covered in the past to be covered, and we've learned from the state of massachusetts, which implemented health reform a few years ago, that people with addiction and people with mental illness have not been able to take advantage of this opportunity for health care coverage. and so one of the great challenges that we have, as a community, is how to message to people about the opportunity to enroll on october 1st of 2013, and john and many recovery community organizations around the country hold something called rally for recovery each year, and there were 18,000 people in philadelphia, over 100,000 people all over the country. so this year for recovery month , we want to let people know that, with the implementation of the affordable care act, it's time to enro

that's because pat robertson, the televangelist did. listen to what a viewer was telling a viewerment get over it. men can't help but cheat. it was probably her fault anyway. >> he cheated on you. well, he's a man. okay. so what you do is begin to focus on why you married him in the first place. recognize also why males have a tendency have to wander a little bit and what you want to do is make the home so wonderful that he doesn't want to wander. >> okay. "outfront" tonight, political comedian, radio show host stephanie miller and wendy walsh, author i a new book. great to you have all us with. wendy, is there any part of what pat robertson that is right? >> well, no. actually, nothing except that i could say that men tend to want more sex than women do. now don't e-mail me, you guys. i know some women want more sex than men. they tend to. cheating is not the solution. in other words, more men are monogamous. more women are monogamous than cheaters. there are plenty -- men's sexuality is they need a little pipe cleaning every once in a

the way we're seeing them with pat toomey in pennsylvania. >> i was very surprised. the thing that shocked me the most was jeff flake's collapse in arizona. >> which he's now acknowledging saying this is real. >> that means ordinary people who happen to be republicans are in favor of background checks. >> well, the other republican senator in the state voted for it, john mccain voted -- >> well, mccain has been able to stand up for what he believes. i may not agree but you've got to give him credit for standing up what he thinks is right. which a lot of people on both parties, but particularly in the republican party, didn't do. this is a bankrupt strategy, lawrence. they're using the same playbook they used last time and they got clobbereded. that is, let's not give the president any victories. the problem is -- i don't understand how they can misread this so badly. they got absolutely clobber in the election when the biggest vote against them and right back to the same old strategy. this doesn't help people like cantor trying to rebrand the republican party. makes

thank you, pat? our target audience is the recovery community, people in recovery and family members, and the message is that recovery is a reality, and, following up on what arthur said, it's to educate the public and others that people can and do recover, so that's our first message. our second message is to come together and organize and mobilize to influence public policy, because that's really where the rubber hits the road in terms of making sure, for example, that essential health benefits include peer recovery support services. so that's our message. john? you know, the authentic recovery community has got to take responsibility for their future. you cannot keep relying on other organization, groups, agencies to find in our lives our recovery and our future. so our responsibility is step up, be heard, be accurate in our description of what we need, how we want to do it. collaboration is important, but we have got to have our rightful place and funding for this. you know, we have got to stop b

mentor to pat roberts. according to the wichita eagle, pat roberts who met dole decades ago when he was a marine, pat roberts calls bob dole the great man and spent years calling himself dole's bucket toter. pat roberts is the man whom elizabeth dole calls every time her husband is hospitalized. pat roberts will oversee bob dole's funeral arrangements when the time comes. they're very, very close. and that day on the senate floor, the reason bob dole was there at the senate was because the senate was voting on something that was very important to him. voting on the u.n. convention on the rights of people with disabilities which would take the rules that were established here in this country by bob dole's landmark americans with disabilities act and it would set out those rules as that model for the rest of the world to say we did this here and it works for us. this should be emulated elsewhere. we believe it could work elsewhere the way it worked here and it would be an advance for human rights. and while b

and pat, they really do fail to go into treatment because they feel that it's-it's their own moral failing and they don't view it as an illness? i think that's part of the situation we face today, but another part of it is that we have treated addiction as a criminal justice issue rather than a health issue, and what's really exciting about health reform is it changes the conversation and it changes the message about the fact if you have a problem with alcohol and drugs or if you have a mental health condition, that there's a place that you can get help not in the criminal justice system. so that remessages changes how people think about themselves but also how society thinks about people with addiction and with mental health conditions, so it's an exciting opportunity to help people change how they think about themselves but also the systems of care and support that are out there-to readjust how they're thinking about it as well, so that more people can get the help that they need to recover. john, that's easier said than done, isn't it? well, you know, i was sitting here thinking, you kn
