russian interventions do enough to change 78,000 votes in three key states hillary clinton won the popular vote, donald trump won the electoral college and he did it by capturing three battleground states . there are other factors at play in the election and it's easy to say i know why the outcome occurred the way it did. it was something hillary clinton did, something she said or something donald trump did that people like so i need to set up a situation which we specify all of that is going to happen and it's all ached in,it's not going to change . if you held all those things content, everything that was good or bad that any of the candidates did, you assumed they were going to happen anyway, they were going to sit there. is there enough difference in the russian intervention to push 78,000 votes in one direction or another ? it's not a big number but it's not a small number either. what i don't and can't say is all these other factors might not be at play in the election, they obviously did. they got us to where we were where 78,000 votes is an issue but which of those votes if anythin

bill clinton for in the transition of 1992/93 was that clinton continue the points of light program. that was the only request between the two presidents. and it mattered enormously to him. people have made fun of it. people have thought of it as a bromide of some point but it came straight from his heart. i came straight from the sense that he was born to great privilege but he believed very much in the admonition that to whom much is given, much is expected and because he was given so much, he gave back and gave back and gave back. >> uh-huh. and to that end he pledged to his inaugural address in 1989 he wanted to make the face of america kinder and the world gentler overall. he certainly shepherded the end of the cold war with a certain sensitivity. was he given the vast experience that he brought with him was he the first diplomat president? >> well, he was arguably the most effective. he was -- you know, he'd been in the house for two terms. he lost a senate race in 1970. then he almost, one of his turning points where things could have gone an entirely different direction, for

. as young as his son. bill clinton. who was focused entirely on people's lives in america and anxiety they were feeling. .e was defeated for reelection that was a really painful defeat for him. it took him some time to get over it. in one of those remarkable turns he and bill clinton later became such good friends. of timeu has been a lot with the bush family. you have a book coming out soon about former first lady barbara bush. what role did barbara bush play during the george h w bush presidency? caller: it is interesting. i think barbara bush took pains to not make it clear how much influence she had. she had a divisional approach that he was the president and she was not. in that way, a great contrast to the equal partnership that we so publicly with the clintons. behind the scenes, she was enormously influential. she was influential in ways that we knew. her focus on adult illiteracy. the cause that she pushed for most of her adult life. she was also influential on things like pushing the president to do more to address the hiv aids. that was something she was doing behin

that said that hillary clinton should win this election 100000000-0. by the way, the same guy that said all sorts of things about donald trump and talked about an insurance policy just in case he did win. now his lead prosecutor, meaning andrew weissmann, the guy that is called mueller's pit bull, while he was subjected he also praised acting attorney general sally 828 she refused to follow orders from her boss, the president of the united states. mueller also appointed a woman named jeannie rae who served as an attorney for hillary clinton. that's right, at the clinton foundation. now this looks really, really bad and it's only the tip of the iceberg because mueller literally filled his team of so-called investigators with major democratic donors, no republicans. and they registered democrats but zero republicans. at this point, robert mueller mae has well have hired maxine waters and elizabeth warren. he's not even trying to appear fair and it's no wonder that from the very beginning this investigation centered around one man and one man only and that is it your president, donald

clinton's emails, but there was not a lot of that in the transcript. the key number to remember may not be 245. four. here is the most of significant part of the transcript. comey said the fbi opened investigation on four americans to see if there was any connection between those americans and the russian interference effort. those four americans did not include the candidate. that means president trump. had different 90s interview comey defended special counsel robert mueller, says he admires mueller and would bet his life mueller would do things the right way. he says he doesn't have mueller's phone numbers and they aren't friends in has been and lot of criticism directed at peter strzok, his text messages and whether he had anti-trump bias. comey told them it was strong who helped him draft the memo about hillary clinton. comey says it's hard to believe strzok was in league with clinton and against trump. comey said that he had confidence in the fisa process and the warrant to surveil carter page. though when asked to sign off on a major political campaign, he said he didn't know

enough to change 78,000 votes in three key states? hillary clinton won the popular vote in donald trump won the electoral college and he did it by capturing three decisive battleground states. there are all sorts of other factors that play in the election. it's easy to say i know quite the outcome occurred the way it did. it was something hillary clinton did, something she said her something donald trump did the people really liked. i need to set up a situation in which we specify all of that is going to happen and it's all baked down and is it's not going to change. what i'm going to ask is you held all those things constant. everything that was good or bad that any of the candidates did you assume they were going to happen anyway and they were just going to sit there difference with the russian intervention to push a 78,000 votes in one direction or another. it's not a very big number but what i don't think can't say is all these other factors might not have played a role in the election. they obviously did. they got us to where they were with 78,000 votes still an issue. the question

hillary clinton, i don't see it when i read over what came through today. >> michael cohen was supposed to be their shining star. here so is one who flipped -- here is someone who flipped. he's trump's lawyer. the fact that he was given the maximum under the recommendation tells you he wasn't giving all that information to demonstrate collusion. he didn't give information to the point that prosecutors would say of course we have to be lenient. his level of cooperation would influence the sentencing. he didn't help in terms of moving the ball along in establishing collusion. >> i served under mueller. i think what gets people upset is the contrast between his aggressive investigation and the non-investigation of the clinton foundation and the hillary clinton emails. i don't think as many people would be complaining about the special counsel if i'm had gone over the emails and the foundation with the same enthusiasm and hard approach to it, but within the bounds of the law. i think mueller is moving towards something. it might just be another reports or indictment. it would be hard to believ

will be hillary clinton's time. >> for some time it would be no secret hillary clinton would run for president. today on her website she made it official. >> i'm not just starting a campaign, i'm beginning a conversation. >> after six years as a senator, people believe in overwhelming margins she has credentials and leadership skills to win it. >> she and her president, a very popular president. she had all the money and backers and big names, it looked like a sure bet. >> senator barack obama threw his hat into the crowded ring today in springfield, illinois. >> one ning you can say for certainty about illinois senator barack obama is there has never been another presidential candidate like him he has a foreign name that rhyme and he has admitted to using -- and he is half white, half black and political experience, green. >> as a senator, barack obama stepped onto the national stage. >> there is not a liberal america, conservative america, there is the united states of america. there is not a black america and a white america and latino america and asian america, is there the unite

-answer, whereas bill clinton was really empathizing with the questioner. >> yes, i remember during his presidency i was anchoring at cnn back then. we didn't see him that much on the domestic front but then again he rose to the occasion international internationally. we certainly know his achievements there with the reunification of germany and taking back kuwait from saddam hussein. he personally pulled together the coalition for the gulf war. >> he certainly did. he was a great collaborator, consensus builder. he lived in an era where there was morrisseyville lit at this in government. he saw government as service. he dedicated so many of his years to service. it's very different today, of course, isn't it? where civility and compromise and consensus are kind of dirty words. they're not used. it's a very polarized world we live in today. bush in some ways is the last of these states men who is able to develop these coalitions. >> yes. you've got to wonder if the republican party can ever find another person kind of like george bush. you would think maybe we could get there. i want to

outsider. he was not a democratic party insider. hillary clinton had the inside track to the nomination. but what he was able to do, like reverend jackson, was to expand the electorate, to bring new energy into the party, and to encourage young people to vote. he mobilized people that we had never witnessed in the american political process. but like reverend jackson, he was a game changer, and the rules that we transformed under jesse jackson's leadership enabled not just barack obama to succeed but also hillary clinton because we made proportional representation. we have equal division between men and women, and we ensure that every state that hold caucuses or primary that they're open to new people and that people, like bernie sanders, can come in and find their seats at the table. >> moving forward, i think some of the things that are most instructive about your tenure in 2016 in the democratic national committee's leadership structure, for that brief tenure, is what we've learned about it and how the democratic party and frankly the country is gonna move forward into 2020 with the
