MICHAEL SMERCONISH (HOST): What did you make of the Bob Woodward comment, and comment from others, that she shouts and that she needs to rein that in? Is it sexist?

DAVID BROCK: I think there's a tinge of sexism to it. I think you can overdo that as well. We're both men, and we don't always see it, but talk to women candidates. Gender bias is out there, and I do think some of the comments about Hillary's tone -- we saw it in '08, Michael, in the primary with President Obama, we saw sexism in the media. Sometimes it's overt, sometimes it's subtle. And, what you need to do I think, to guard against it is to try to identify it and call it out when it happens.
