which has forced this pret to do more things by executive order. there's no question they should have come together and passed immigration reform legislation. [applause] and they weren't that fall apart and yet this president and the congress would not sit down and talk it through. so, in the book, i emphasize that it doesn't take but -- to change this, it doesn't take but one thing. one person that is willing to be a leader and step up. whether it's congressman or senator paul ryan has the potential to do that kind of thing as a speaker. i have a lot of faith in him. or a president. let's say -- i worked all the time with bill clinton. we didn't agree philosophically.

he was a character. but we talked and a lot of times i didn't want to talk. he called one night at 2:00 in the morning. phone is on trishas side of the bed. she says it's the president and hands it to me and i say, yes, sir, mr. president. and i hung up, goodbye and handed the phone back, she says what he did he want? i said, i don't know. something about central america. but here's the point. we talked all the time. we worked through all kinds of things. budget issues, tax issues, defense issues, safe drinking water, portability of insurance, you name it. did we agree? no. and a lot of times we pressed each other to then it o'we'd get mad but be communicate indicate. that was true with reagan when i was whip in the house we met with president reagan just about every morning that congress was in session, at 9:00. sometimes it was bipartisan,

sometimes just republicans. so, this trend of not communicating has just -- is a recent phenomenon. its started developing with george w., even though he tried hard to get immigration reform. by the way, i say to mississippians, look, immigration is one of the big issues in this campaign. admit it. if we would have done what he should have done in 2007 we wouldn't be here now and immigration reform is not just below illegal immigrants. it's below legal immigrants. we got people that want to come into america that have something to offer, can't get here. one time i had two doctors from canada that wanted to come to picayune mississippi. underserved medical area two doctors, highly qualified. wow would have thought i was trying to sneak? saddam hussein. it was hard. so started with bush. i saw it coming in 2006 and now this president and this congress just don't talk. that why they haven't -- the deficit worries me. more than ever.

because now i worry about my grandchildren. it's not but us. it's about about the next generation, the congress and the president are not dealing with it. so the next president -- all hillary would have to do if she is president would be to follow the roles to a degree of president bill clinton. because he did meet with us and he did talk with us. or if it's trump, somebody, some of us, have got to reach out and say, mr. president, you say you're going to change washington? the first thing you need to do to change it is to begin to communicate. there are four things you need to make washington work. number one is communication. if you don't talk, you ain't going to get nothing done. real simple. number two, you have to develop a chemistry. clinton made my nervous but weed a a relationship. it was a chemistry that made it possible for us to turn that into action. the other thing we lost is

ambition. what are we really for anymore? republicans or democrats. do we really know? do we note what other side would actually do if they're in the majority in the congress and have the white house? and last but not least, i've seep it. leadership. one man. one woman, that will face the slings and arrows of the media and say, we're going to develop an energy policy in america. we're going to have all of the above. we're going to do it. it could change on dime but we can do it. washington hays tough pate. i rode the high road and knocked town into valley but when you get into the valley, you learn

when you got back up how to do things better. so it can change if don't see it right now. i don't see if with mitch mcconnell, i don't see it with nancy pelosi. see hope in paul ryan. i don't know what to expect from chuck schumer, who will probably be the senate democratic leader. he is smarter than reid, everybody bit as partisan as harry hari harry reid but there's one difference, thes transactional. he can do business. there dismiss hope out there. but it all begins in the white house. leadership begins in the white house. so we've got to get a different tempo coming out of that place. >> you can watch this and other programs online at booktv.org. every you're online book seller amazon puts out a list of the 20 mostel
