clinton have not seen that yet. it was going to be an indictment of the first lady, and webster hubble and was going to relate to all of the early whitewater stuff. it was being mainly sponsored by hickman ewing, in charge of the arkansas phase of things who believed, honestly, that mrs. clinton lied in her answers to some of these things, that is what most of it had to do with, lying in some of the answers, not the conduct itself, was less significant. but he -- >> he was talked out of it by members of the office of independent counsel. >> as he told me monica saved hillary, the office of independent counsel at this point was so focused and thought the president was in their sights they thought it would be a distraction and, to be fair about it, the assessment was at this point, the chances of actually convicting even if they indicted, were very, very low. and so, they chose not to do it. but that was going on right at the time that they were pursuing the president on the monica lewinsky charges. >> and the issue o

i definitely would not say anything against her support of hillary clinton. she had a lot of african-american supporters i don't think that is an issue. i don't know with this whole phenomenon women can win as long as we have the notion that because of gender there is something wrong with the candidacy. there is something wrong. it is kind of disheartening because we're losing talent and committed individuals who happen to be women. >> host: nephews your point* and go back to abuse say in the conclusion of your book quoting secretary of state clinton was after she became part of the obama administration "i am not going to pretend they're running for president as a woman is not daunting. it is daunting. and it is probably a path that does not appeal because it is so difficult but there will be a woman who will be able to achieve that. >> guest: she has been very cautious not send secretary of state but before she was running when she got the questioning can anyone men wind? her answer was we will not know until we try that leads you to wonder if he is the answ

they thought it was done and president clinton authorized it. paula jones by that time was being handled by susan carpenter mcmillan and she and paula's husband steve jones were still pushing her so she refused to settle for the full amount asked for in the complaint and one of the documents i found that was just startling and really provided an insight was a letter from paula jones' lawyers to her begging her to take this settlement and saying that at most they thought she could recover $50,000 if she won anything at all if they went to trial. so they knew there were big problems with this case. they knew she needed to settle and when she didn't, they withdrew and stopped representing her. >> rose: do you have an opinion as to what paula jones... what happened to her? >> you mean in the excelsior hotel? >> rose: right. >> this is the best that i can say. i'm sure that a large amount of her account is true. and president clinton, if you notice, has never explicitly denied detail. you know, each thing detail by detail. it's the... you know, the 5

hillary clinton worked with him in the world firm. there was vince foster, hillary clinton. it was a shock when it turned out that he was milking the law firm and hillary was a fact of that so that was a total shock. to his credit, web hubbell is one of these people i've spent a good bit of time with him. he has really come to grips with his mistakes i think and just acknowledges them. one of the fascinating things about webb hubbell is i believe the most compelling proof because he kept saying i don't know what these people felt i was hiding whatever it was they were looking for i don't know but i didn't have it but to approve of that, stop and think, because he raised this himself if he was hiding something could bill clinton have afforded not to pardon him? if he was hiding something that would be the surest way that he was going to blab, so there were no bodies buried because as he said he would have certainly told the story then when he didn't get pardoned. >> host: the other person the joined the clintons in b.c. was vince foster and that tragedy suicide occurred withi

apart from hillary clinton. he could go around the country to read state and purple states, obviously to put state and turn out huge crowds. and i think mark and i at the time of war following this, we knew that obama was trying to run and we knew he was raising money. i don't think a week report the book we had a clear set. we started talking to people like claire mccaskill who tells the stories about obama coming to campaign tour in 2006. he would come to saint louis to have to get an overflow room because not only do they have had a fundraiser for the 2000 or 3000 people who would pay a lot of money, but also have to get a separate report 10,000 or 15,000 people because everybody wanted to see this guy. his fund-raising ability was at the core of what as we talk about how the democratic establishment was secretly behind him, that was part, they could see his political appeal. anita dunn in some sense along with david plouffe was maximizing, initiating a similar strategy for patrick in massachusetts if they st

hillary clinton and bill clinton have incredible political sport in one of the satisfying moment for them on super tuesday was despite the fact that senator kennedy had endorsed barack obama, hillary was able to win massachusetts. some of her operatives had not worked just in massachusetts, are working for the democratic nominee there. they probably should've been a little sooner and i think most people who are watching the race closely believe their involvement is being done in the last minute very quickly and may be too little, too late. >> pittsburgh, steve on republican line. go ahead. >> caller: can you talk a bit about mitt romney? about his public image and his privates were and also his relationship with john mccain and mike huckabee. thanks. >> in the book we spend for a variety of reasons we did that's been as nearly as much time and the republican race. there is very interesting that you and the book on mitt romney. into the college specific question, i think there is one very striking example of disparity between public image and privately held in the case of romney which

eyesight in the day, one of the debates clinton and clinton was the perfect, you know, counterpart for george herbert walker bush. where president bush says i will ask jim baker to take a domestic policy and do for domestic. and president clinton says this is what we're worried about. i will do domestic policy in my administration. and for that and other reasons. luck, most of the policies george bush was and i think are very good policies. underrated president, underappreciated president. i wish he won, but he didn't run as good a campaign. and the country was ready for a change. that's another thing. people like a change that some of it is let's try the other g got. >> host: let's go back to that for a second, which is the great triumphs of george h. w. bush on that tax and spending cutting the deficit issue showed a thing that america used to be good at, which is bipartisan compromise. ronald reagan with tip o'neill during the social security thing. that is what has made our country strong, not ideological fervor, but the ability to say let's find common ground, now we can work. tha

and i don't think that president clinton and associates would deny. but there was more to the story as you cover objectively in your own book secretary baker does deny that he made any commitment to gorbachev regarding the expansion. gorbachev thought he made a commitment but there was certainly no legally binding document. moreover, gorbachev was no longer there. a first bush administration was no longer there. it was a different situation. i'm sure you remember how boris yeltsin and the russian president went and had a meeting with then the polish president and more than one drink too many and he was making the case to yeltsin that it would be in the russian interest to allow poland and that it would be breached between western europe and russia and would be worse of russian greatness to be broad minded on this issue and then yeltsin went out standing next to him he confirmed russia did believe poland as a soviet nation was entitled. needless to say the united states wasn't pushing. poland was applying. the czech republic was applying the grenada. h

agenda items of president clinton. things he couldn't get through in congress. on the issue of don't ask, don't tell, economic stimulus bill. clinton could not get done but president obama has done. guest: one is, society takes time to adjust. a new generation comes in and they have different views. i think had president clinton not raised the issue of homosexuality and gays in the military and by implication, same sex marriage. obama might have not had the foothold he has today to move it forward. in one sense, he's bringing some policies of the clinton administration to fruition and one has to the bush administration too, as president bush and secretary paulson and the talk funds to save businesses too big to fail because of the impact they had on the american economy. but one also has to say if president obama has a hero, if there's someone he looks as the great american president it's clear it's abraham lincoln and not bill clinton. host: pittsburgh. go ahead. cynthia, are you there? i'm sorry. i think we have the

clinton had no ambition to engage in the nation building. he was not looking for an opportunity to have intervention in the balkans. that was very shortly after the fiasco in somalia and there was little appetite in the washington to engage in new actions which could bring the the united states and to military conflict. but in an attempt to find a peaceful solution to the bosnian conflict, that solution was proved very difficult to identify and the russians were not terribly cooperative and then of course there was 7,000 muslim men massacred by the serbs and an enormous moral outrage but only incidentally in the united states but also in europe and there was a very strong sentiment that the administration essentially was selling out fundamentalists western values of the time when america was only superpower and could make things right. what would you say in response to the argument about this american responsibility and the opportunity at the same time during the the defining moment in the balkans? >> guest: life and cut situation was brough

secretary clinton. >> thank you very much, secretary gates. let me begin by thanking you for your leadership in this effort and for the collaboration that persisted throughout. the nuclear posture review represents a milestone in the transformation of our nuclear forces and the way we approach nuclear issues. we are we celebrating our priorities to prevent nuclear proliferation and nuclear terrorism. we are reducing the role and number of weapons in our arsenal, while maintaining a safe, secure, and effective deterrent to protect our nation, allies, and partners. this npr provides a foundation on which we and our allies can build a more secure future. this review is important, not only for what it says, but also the way in which it was conducted. i believe it is the first unclassified npr in its totality. secretary gates was responsible for making this the most inclusive nuclear posture review in history. admiral mullen, the joint chiefs, have been instrumental in working through a lot of the issues that have been erased. the department of ene

it was the first time that a lot to the issues of bill clinton's personal life, whether the clintons were old politics, whether they were too loose with the truth, was laid out. the one-two punch of it being laid out by david geffen, a pillar of a hollywood establishment, via the maureen dowd column, was devastating. host: i am sure that many people are eager to ask your questions and make comments. sylvia, democrats like, you are first. caller: i saw you all on another show and you are talking about that bill and hillary were upset during the iowa caucuses that the obama campaign had cheated. from what i read and what i heard, the reason they were so upset was because the obama campaign bussed in lots of young people from illinois with the help of a corn -- of acorn, and they showed up at the caucuses early and they locked out the hillary voters. host: john heilemann? guest: a caller is exactly right about what the clintons believe. that, to the letter, what we report in the book -- hillary had been concerned about the caucuses for awhile, that they were to lose, and that he was the

, but bill and hillary clinton became close to barry goldwater in his retirement years. bill clinton and the president, and barry goldwater talked on the telephone, they exchanged communications, and at one point hillary visits him in phoenix. at another point bill clinton, i think, is one of the last people to see him when he's in the hospital. they liked him, and he liked them. when hillary clinton was being attacked by conservatives, goldwater first sent a message to his colleagues back in washington to back off, this was just uncalled for, and then sent another message to some local people who were, one was campaigning for congress, i think, at the time who was attacking hillary. the funny outcome of this is that the arizona republicans came out to see the senator and said, listen, senator, we don't know what you're doing, but what you're doing you've got to stop. you know, we built this big building downtown, it's the barry m. goldwater republican headquarters of arizona. you keep doing what you're doing with the clintons, and we're going to take your name off that

when the clintons failed to do this, it was the clintons, it was hillary clinton and bill clinton, and the clintons failed to do this in 1993, the next opportunity that came along was 16 years later. so you don't get another chance the next year just because there is another budget. and the failure in that budget to me was the most telling failure of the plague year. onto the judges salaries. which is addressed in this book. judges salaries and legislators salaries have been set, have been fixed where they were in lebanon 12 years ago. and this book explains how that happened, and this was the year, 2007 was the your work though salaries could have been raised very, very easily, and when you fail to compensate the people who cover new, you know, garbage in, garbage out. that's what happens. so this book explains that. and, of course, in doing that we alienated a key committee comeback unit of 1300 state judges in the state. and then on to what i call in the book the recent unpleasantness, which i call trooper gate. i said at the time, i said to my colleagues here, i'm just not going to

caller: president clinton is very, very intelligent. like florida and all of them, i think they forgot how bad it was when president clinton took over in the only thing he did, he straightened up all of that when he was in there because it was so terrible and i lived through that and i had children that was in school and everything else and when reagan and the other bush came in it was so terrible and in eight years he turned it around so very -- and then eight years when bush was in there it just went down the tubes so this gentleman is very, very intelligent and if he can turn around -- listen to him. i mean, he is so intelligent. and the thing that he said, i know he don went there and tried it and see what all of the thing before he even talks. and if they go on and do that our country would turn around again and they keep on saying we are in debt and we are in debt, you always have to spend something. if you don't spend something for the card you will not have it. host: the former president says the country needs to deal with the d

you had a reduction in capital gains by bill clinton. okay, that went your way, that's what you like it. welfare reform, nafta. these are all things that brought people from both sides of the aisle, jack kemp and i both being sitting there and want to salute build it. jack kemp and bill bennett. we thought oh, boy, this is going to cause us trouble with our ranks. but look, one of the reason he was successful was that he did take an approach down the middle. one of the reasons that he took the approach down the middle was the elephant stampede in 1994. i don't know, with newt gingrich. i don't know if that happens to barack obama in 2010. we will see but some people are predicting that's what will happen. if you get 35 seats for the republicans in 2010, we'll policy be more down the middle, more bipartisan? i don't know and. >> host: but where it breaks down for clinton, and to some extent is with the monica lewinsky and impeachment things. which i think it stories are going to have some real trouble wrestling trying to figure out was th

president clinton i think said something here very important. the atmospherics right now it seems to me are toxic, they're hateful. you hear similar language all the way over to the far right, all the way over to the center right where it's the tea people or the tea bag people or the militia people or just conservative politicians, they're all using the language of delegitimatization, this is an unamerican administration. it all rhymes with, he shouldn't be there. >> well it's easy to ridicule these people and god knows they deserve ridicule, they're fools most of them. talking about gangster government or totalitarianism. this is a totalitarian government now. maybe michelle bachman should take a trip to the soviet union with todd aiken. >> explain your joke, there's no more soviet union. >> but as bill clinton pointed out, there's something very dangerous going on here. you've got 330 million people in the country and some of them are dilutional. and when you use words like gangster or totalitarianism, or let's take them out, that's another ph

rather he pointed a finger at clinton's own administration. oklahoma city was a retaliatory strike, a counterattack from the cumulative raids and subsequent damage and violence federal agents participated in the preceding years including but not limited to waco. the "new york post" explaining how, if you think about it, the oklahoma city bombing was the federal government's fault. they weren't the only voice on the right to go there and lash out at president clinton. >> let me ask president clinton what words caused timothy mcveigh to act? name one. i want to know what words and who spoke them? all i've ever heard is timothy mcveigh was outraged over the government invasion led by janet reno of the branch davidian compound in waco, texas, and the murrah building was blown up later. he was not inspired by anybody areas words, mcveigh was inspired by mr. clinton's deeds. >> if you want perspective for timothy mcveigh's motivation to bomb the oklahoma city federal building, look no further than the second amendment march. the one held yesterday i

why was the wrong interview for the clinton administration to move against what was perceived at that time as serbian aggression and serbian atrocities against the muslims? >> guest: i think for the very reason you indicated, that the way it was done was, as we say, counterproductive in the long run. because if we had cooperated closely with russia to control the serbs, and we would have been able to do that, if we had not started expanding nato to the east, to their disadvantage, then i think we could have gotten more cooperation to keep milosevic, the serbian leader, under control. or if not, we could've gotten a vote in the security council to use whatever military force we could. but by bypassing the u.n., bypassing the security council, making it look to the russians as if we were simply moving into control of this entire area, which had been part of, you might say, the russian traditional area of influence, was simply, i think, the wrong message. and it left us with the heritage of there that when we get problems elsewhere, the russians now say, for example, in georgia, well, yo

and barack obama. >> after that, bill clinton was asked about it eve the -- over the weekend. you'll hear what he said about it, how the comments about antigovernment sentiment sparked this debate. march minister they say spare the rod and spoil the killed. why one school district wants to bring back the paddle. we're serious. next. martha: news alert out of cape can after value, florida, this crossing -- canaveral, nasa is postponing the discovery's return to earth until tuesday, they're dealing with bad weather in cape canaveral, they're expected to leave at 7:23 tomorrow morning, that's the scheduled time. we'll keep you posted. bill: something tells me those guys enjoy the rides! >>> he said, she said, brewing over iran as report of a secret memo sent by secretary of defense robert gates from the white house, warning the white house that it look as clear strategy for dealing with iran, some suggesting it's sound -- he's sounding the alarm u. secretary gates saying he was contributing to the ongoing policy debate. here's senator john mccain addressing the memo on fox news s

he beat hillary clinton. and suddenly they are on an almost equal playing field and everything is gangbusters after that. >> i'm wondering if one of the things people didn't fully realize was the importance of community organizing and what he learned from the brief period of time she spent as a community organizer and how he applied that to his candidacy, and i guess how he might even apply that to now how he operates in the white house. >> i think he's constantly using the metaphor of community organizing certainly in the campaign, less so now, but in the campaign as the metaphor for how he imagined he would be a politician. when he ran for the state senate yesterday giving his first interviews to the chicago reader and the tribune he would talk about all i imagine a politician as a come emt organizer in office and so on, so forth. but the truth is, you know, we learned a what about the life of smolinski and obama was not his style of organizer. he was about a confrontational and rough figure as you could im

, it's been 15 years and president clinton talks and president clinton talks about this ent, this is about 45 minutes. >> thank you, michael, for your remarks and for your service to our country. i want to thank john podesta and al from for hosting this forum 15 years after oklahoma city. i'd like to thank the panelists, ron brownstein, congressman kendrick meek, former congressman mickey edwards, bradley buckles, mark potok and mike waldman and jamie gorelick. i must tell you, that's the first time i've seen that film and i have, as has been said, continuously gone back to oklahoma city. continuously going back to oklahoma city. i am going back in a few days, they are having a week-long observation for the 15th anniversar anniversary. even now it seems real as if it happened yesterday. there was a story in "the new york times" by a reporter who has been positively, and i say that in a positive way, positively interested in this. drawing parallels to the time running up to oklahoma city, and a lot of the political discord that exists in our country today. that's a legitimate thing to

bill clinton was one of the last people to see him when he is in the hospital. they liked him and he liked them. when hillary clinton was being attacked by conservatives, barry goldwater send a message to his colleagues to back off. and then send a message to some local people and one was campaigning for congress at the time who was attacking hillary. the funny outcome of this is that the arizona republicans came out to see the senator and said listen, senator, what you are doing you have to stop. we built this big building downtown, the barry goldwater republican headquarters of arizona. you know what you are doing with the clintons and we are going to take your name off of that building and the senator said you keep doing what you are doing and i want you to take my name off the building. >> host: charles from illinois, welcomed to the program. >> caller: i would like to ask mr. dean to comment on family secrets by russell baker where he reiterates the charges in the lawsuit. copyright 2009 book that he is going to bring suit against him too. >> guest: mr. bak

but secretary clinton and chu and the admiral will make brief comments in a moment. we will take a few questions after that limited to the npr. the npr creates a road map for president obama's agenda for producing nuclear weapons in the international community. this review describes how the u.s. will reduce the role and numbers of nuclear weapons with a long-term goal of the nuclear- free world. driven by the changing nature of the security environment, the npr opuses on five key objectives. preventing nuclear proliferation and terrorism. reducing the role of u.s. nuclear weapons. maintaining strategic deterrence instability at a reduced nuclear force levels. strengthening regional to terrence and reassuring u.s. allies and partners. sustaining a safe, secure and effective nuclear arsenal. to these ends, the npr shows significant changes to the posture. some of the calculated ambiguity is removed. if a non-nuclear weapon state is in compliance with non proliferation treaty and obligations, the u.s. pledges not to use or threaten to use nuclear weapons against it. if

[ laughter ] former presidents bill clinton and george w. bush traveled to haiti this week to talk about the country's long-term recovery plan. this is a departure for president bush. it is unusual for him to personally visit a disaster of this scope and magnitude that wasn't his fault, so -- apparently there was some friction. i guess president bush went to visit an aid station and when he got back to the hotel room, clinton tied a sweat sock around the door handle and he had to go hang out in the lobby for like an hour. this is funny. watch what bush does to clinton after they get through shaking hands here. and a little wipe. [ applause ] let's see that again in slow motion. hello, hello, how are you? very nice to meet you. hello, yes, good-bye. and now i'm just going to wipe. president bush, first time we've seen him in two months this is what he does. he's the best. i miss that dizzy old dope, i really do. by the way, if you are germophobic, is bill clinton the best place to wipe your hands? it's -- god only knows what motel room floor

here we go. >> senator clinton couldn't get it. the wasn't the american people. >> we'll start right here with a question. please, if you would just state your name and fire away. >> ok. professor ackerman, i was taken by your proposal of creating new structures. and also, the fact that you are basically saying that words create reality. that language creates reality, and therefore, instead of calling it are war, we should call it more -- start naming it a state of emergency when there are attacks here. i'm wondering, did you fully talk, explicate what you were talking about in terms of new structures, is that one example, do you have several ideas,? and i'm also wondering what the generals think about that, and part two, part of this, in parentheses, what do you call what's going on in afghanistan and in iraq ? are they wars, have we declared war, what should we call those? >> well -- >> conflict? >> all of law is words. i have a booked called "before the next attack," which tries to talk about how we should think in terms of thes
