der thrt o impeachment, how do you look back at your impeachment? >> well, i knew it wouldn't succeed. it wasn't pleasant experience. but it was a fight that i was, glad to undertake. i knew there was -- nothing impeachable. so, we fought it to the end. and i'm glad. >> it's been 20 years since clinton was impeached. then acquitted by the senate. but the repercussions reverberate to this day. >> is it your view that the president clinton should have stepped down at that time given the allegations? >> yes. i think that is the appropriate response. >> in this me too age, some including members of his own party, like new york senator, kirsten gillebrand said clinton should have stepped down because of the monica lewinsky affair. >> since we are talking about that period, what did you think six month as go when the senator said he should have resigned?

>> well, i just disagree with her. i think, you know, just, you have to, really ignore what the context was then. but, you know -- for frz she is living in a different context. she did it for different reasons. so i, i -- but i just disagree with her. >> as for the investigation led by robert mueller, swirling around the current chander in chief. >> we now call it spygate. >> do you think the press has been fair to president trump? >> i think they have tried by and large to cover this investigation based on the facts. i think if -- the roles were reversed now, just, me just talking based on my experience. if it were a democratic president and these facts, most people i know in washington believe impeachment hearings would have been done already. >> of if there were a democrat in power right now. >> yes. >> most people i know believe

that, the press would have been that hard or harder. but these are serious issues. >> you hear from, trump supporters who say, the press slobbered all over president obama, he could do no wrong. this guy can do no right, what gives. there is a whiplash. >> they did treat him differently than other democrats and republicans. because they -- >> why? >> it was the political press. >> you know, i don't know. they liked him. and, they liked having the first african-american president. and he was a good president i think. i don't agree with president trump assessment of his service. >> nor do the authors agree with the current president's rhetorical style. >> president trump, just factual, is fond of personal insults. refers to mrs. clinton as crooked hillary. >> it's been effective for him. it's unbelievable that he became president. but he figured some things out. and i think most people do not

like these tweets. they just wish it wouldn't go that way. >> i've don't like all of this. i couldn't beep elected to anything now because i just don't like embarrassing people. my mother would have whipped me for five days in a row when i was a little boy if i spent all my time bad mouthing people like this. >> america will be greater than ever. >> clinton, of course, thought he was going to be the first-ever, first husband. and he says he is reminded of 2016 and the divisions in the country, whenever he goes for a walk. >> there is a trump supporter here in town that i walk past his house with my dogs. he had a lock her up poster in his front window. and i said to him, i hope you are going to make those if you are going to do that to my wife, make sure the prisons are comfortable. because you are going to have hey lot of company of your supporters in there. you know what he said. i was trying to be civil to him. and he said, obama and hillary started the second civil war.

so there is division. but, underneath that, there is a core of fundamental decency that can be really skewed when people feel abused, left out, or looked down on. >> our democracy cannot survive its current downward drift into tribalism, extremism and seething resentment. >> yes, their new book is a thriller about a chief executive who is practically a super hero. >> this is our time. >> but the 42nd president of the united states, believes they have something deeper to say. about why the office matters. >> i want people to see the presidency as a job and a hard one. and it matters who gets it. it matters how they do it. which i hope is a subtext of this. i hope it is really exciting to people, but am hoping they put it down, this think we have a good government here. don't want to mess it up.
