MICHAEL SMERCONISH, CNN POLITICAL ANALYST & CNN HOST, "SMERCONISH": To say I'm repentant about misogynistic things I said, even though they were a decade ago.</s>BRIANNA KEILAR, CNN HOST: It went unnoticed all this time. Why wouldn't the network be monitoring more closely what their anchors are saying or is it possible they were monitoring them?</s>SMERCONISH: If I'm correct, and if memory serves correct, it was at a time when he was not on FOX but was on MSNBC. And, Brianna, I would also submit to you --</s>KEILAR: Very important to note, I should say.</s>SMERCONISH: Yes. The use of the "C" word has always been taboo. But I think it's important to note that there has been a sea change in attitudes in just the last few years, much less in the last decade of time. So very easily that could have flown under the radar screen because at that time it just wasn't guarded in the way it obviously is being regarded today. I think it's also a little inappropriate to say, well, if you'd like my response to this, come watch my show. I mean, he's essentially seeking to gain ratings out of the controversy based on something that he said, which was wholly inappropriate.</s>KEILAR: Yes, he is. Michael Smerconish, thank you so much. You can catch more of Michael Smerconish, which we all need in our lives, Saturday, at 9:00 a.m. Eastern, on CNN. Still ahead, why the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee says Robert Mueller has made a big mistake. Plus, new today, the White House rejecting a demand from Democrats to interview a former White House lawyer. I'm going to speak to a member of that committee, next.
