I think you have to connect with women on an emotional level," Jacobs said. "And with a wife of 25 years and an 18-year-old daughter, I've had a lot of coaching on that."

Sharia laws and dumb statements. Compassion for issues regarding women's issues such as the violence act, make stronger laws regarding rape would be a good start. The equal pay would be nice.

"I know some broads who would know."
