of the united states of america bill clinton. >> clinton is the first democrat to be elected since 1976outhern state and he was representing himself as someone who could speak to the african-american community. >> diversity can be a source of strength in a world that is ever smaller, where everyone counts and everyone is a part of america's family. >> it's a new day in america. >> six women will serve in the new u.s. senate, including the first black woman. >> most women thought anita hill was starting this. they say the rage they felt at her treatment by the senate judiciary committee fueled their camp campaigns. >> women began seizing some of these offices. it sense tiesed minorities to the fact that our voices have to be heard and the real way to have them be heard is to be holding the reins of power. >> great box office for a wednesday and that's what opening day crowds paid to see malcolm x. >> it's hard to miss the phenomenon called spike lee. spike lee is a black man who has reached the top of white culture and he's done it his way. >> malcolm x is an impressive achievement in te

the clintons asked him to create this meal.ame crusted halibut with red curry and lemongrass vegetables. it was the cornerstone of the meal. i have the recipe in my book if you want to replicate it. i just thought that was an amazing meal. at the last second, the clintons asked him to actually come and be the guest of honor along with nelson mandela at that meal. he actually did not cook the meal, but he created it. in terms of the allergies only when it comes to mind is president george walker bush after he had sushi or whatever in japan. that's the only one i know of. this leads to another question. people often ask me is there a presidential taste tester? yes there is. it tends to be the opposition leader in congress. [laughs] [applause] now it's actually the white house chef. they are the taste tester. for the last ones to taste before the president. >> thank you, i've enjoyed your discussion. my question is can you give us an insight into our present president trump. does he have any -- i know he does not drink. >> yes, so

the clinton. way you go through the food. bank itself movie theater i. was in this way got to talk so hard not to think of the dismiss the work of the day and i don't miss the mark and i think. this is the only thing that we do is music because everybody fights a useful way. through on the fees on this bill frist would have been called given a lot of. what i think is this is the funds that is going to come from. seemed wrong. just don't call. me. yet to shape our disdain to come to council. and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. psychiatric drugs are essential for millions of patients rather they want that pill that they hope will take care of their problem thoroughly and rapidly in the short term they really work the problem is in the long term they're mostly disastrous suddenly stopping a drug can cause withdrawal symptoms more serious than the condition it was meant to treat instead of the beneficial effects of these different medicines early up to something wonderful very often f

is it your view that that was the right policy for president clinton to pursue? >> no. actually, margaret, i thought that it was unnecessary. there were a lot of things that president clinton could not do in terms of public investment-- in education, in infrastructure, in basic research and development-- that he and ideally america should have done during those years but did not do because of this totem of bringing the deficit down and balancing the budget. i don't think we want a rigid formula here. it turns out that we could get-- and this actually is one of the legacies of the trump administration-- we could, as an economy, grow very fast and not risk inflation and have a very, very large national debt, much larger than we assumed we could as a proportion of the total economy. and many of us watching the trump administration lead us into this kind of extraordinary debt were surprised because nobody knew that we could have avoid inflation with unemployment that low and with that much national debt. >> well, i was surprised, too. but maya, i'd like to ask you, is the d

there were a lot of things that president clinton could not do, in terms of public investments. in education, and infrastructure, and basic research and development. that he, and ideally america should have done, during those years. but, did not do, because of this told him of bringing the deficit down, and balancing the budget. i do not think we want a rigid formula, here. it turns out, we could get, and this actually, is one of the legacies of the trump administration. we could, as an economy, grow very fast and not to risk inflation, and have a very large national debts. much larger, then we assumed we could as a proportion of the total economy. and, many of us watching the trump administration lead us into this kind of extraordinary debt, were surprised. nobody knew, that we could avoid inflation, with unemployment that low, and without much national debt. >> i was surprised, too. maya, i would like to ask you, is the national debt a totem? >> i have a very different take on that. let me turn back to where we were before the covid crisis, which was the trump administration l

in 1971 and that set in motion the possibility for what happened in 2000 which was that president clinton as he left office 3 things he did he got rid of the classical act he also got introduced the commodities futures modernization act those 2 helped the banks plunder. like j.p. morgan banker plundered his grandmother we helped banks plunder the productive capacity of the economy and then of course that couldn't have happened however without somebody being able to produce all or goods that the wealthy need and that is china being elevated to the w c o n favored nation status right the charge effect of december men of the american middle class thanks to bill clinton and we're living with the consequences down because the society in the us is irreparably crushed by these oligarchs running the show and the social unrest is growing and there's really nothing to stop it anymore yeah and there's supposed to be this notion of an invisible hand and the invisible hand is that you know your nation and the economy will take care of itself like there it will all not do like with that a few more can

leon panetta, the former white house chief of stuff under bill clinton. that tech boom, the internet boom, everything with it started gaining traction in the clinton years. that approach with zeroing in on spending, government spending, helped get deficits turning in to surpluses and for the first time in american history, the debt showily but surely wiped away. a number of democrats agree with president biden are saying the same thing will happen now. leon panetta joins us. good to see you. when you look at these tech numbers and you think of that boom that really see -- technology boom that started in the 90s and early 2000s, do you think that your colleagues in the democratic party have it right, that a boom, whether it's done by government spending here, which might be a leap, will be able to wipe out a lot of these deficits, maybe take a stab at the debt. what do you think of that? >> look, i think whether it's the republicans saying that if you have enough tax cuts, that will deal with the debt or the democrats saying if you spend an awful lot, that

bill clinton the democratic party is a deplorable which is a remarkable considering that there used to be a time in america where wage earners were actually applauded as the backbone of the middle class that are considered to be deplorable and a huge threat but let's move on to another group to paris said it elites. we've got an overproduction of parasitical lates according to you i believe is a phrase is what is this talk a little bit about it ok so that's. over production of parasitic of meats is a term from historian peter turchin who has identified this. as a key element in social disorder that brings down you know governments and states and the way he describes it is. let's say that doug ivy league colleges as an example so it used to be that if you got. a degree at a fancy you know ivy league college you were set you know you were even if you were a mediocre student and not that bright you get a a great slot in the upper echelons of american society and economy well now there's so many people with advanced degrees from you know top universities that there's an oversupply of pe

they wanted people from the clinton and obama administrations. that's when richard thompson was brought in and richard was just an astounding caricaturist. he was the top caricaturist at the time. did a lot of stuff for u.s. world and news report and the new yorker. he came in with a portfolio of drawings and they got some of those and they wanted more and richard said check with matt who works at "politico." i was able to fill in some of the most recent politicians. political cartoonists use words, word bubbles and when i'm wearing my political cartoonist hat, i'm a political commentator. just like somebody who is writing a column in the op-ed pages, except i have the advantages -- i draw my opinion and express it with a certain amount of humor and the columnists have to rely on their own words. the saw a picture is worth 1,000 words is quite true. somebody who writes a 100-word essay about tax policies or something, has to rely on somebody who is willing to invest in reading those 800 words. you glance at a cartoon -- humans have a visual acuit

i was running against bill clinton, the crime bill, the welfare reform bill.fter i lost, remember, this is bill clinton who deregulated derivatives, got rid of glass-steagall. my party has not been the most enlightened. but what is so exciting looking at joe biden versus bill clinton, he was the big tech guy. he protected corporations, unfortunately. now we see joe biden say an economy is for the workers, and 90%. if we don't invest in labor, we are not investing in ourselves. corporations are able to do a lot of things very successfully. according to mitch mcconnell, they are people, except they should not have a soul or a heart or a position on voting, but they should definitely have a wallet, so they know how to contribute to campaigns. we are seeing an enlightened democratic party. it has not always made the right choices. joe biden being around, he saw some of the mistakes, he made some of them. but the beauty of joe biden is that he leads from behind and it becomes the moment. what is fascinating is what is ahead of joe biden are people who have been tal

not hitler. >> bill clinton bill clinton.s like hate studio 54 every day. okay stephen this is for you. which of these donkeys resigned in disgrace after it was revealed he had allegedly played close to $80000 to prostitutes during his time in office. kilpatrick, and are governor ellie her or former new jersey governor jim. [inaudible] >> it sounds like all of them for being honest. i'm going to go spitzer on that. and lebron james is a moral coward. >> i don't even know where you're aptly right congratulations. human microtiter to appease. you can make it what had a percent bucher make this a turkey marie, here you go. which of these donkeys once played the harmonica and the jimmy hendrix tribute band was it transportation secretary pete buttigieg, also my sexy boyfriend. was it former hawaiian congresswoman josie gabbard or virginia senator tim kaine? >> why think it's tim kaine because he plays the harmonica. but it also say kelsey is not really a democrat just kind of. so far she's more liver terrible taker. your aptly wr

in the new book, speaker boehner saying he regrets the clinton impeachment. an excerpt from the book, he says i know we said at the time, bill clinton was impeached for lying under oath. in my view, republicans impeached him for one reason only. tom delay leaved impeaching clinton would win us all of these health seats and be a big win politically and he commenced enough of the membership in the gop base that that was true. back to your phone calls. steve is joining us from california, republican line. caller: let's start with a little levity. why can't democrats unscrew light bulbs? because they are too busy screwing every thing else up. why can't republicans unscrew a lightbulb? that is because they only know how to turn to the left. both parties have never come ou

next we have bill clinton.ere he is shown in a masterful attempt at tightrope walking, trying to move a budget forward and keep the monica lewinsky scandal at bay. now ms. lewinsky is not labeled ms. lewinsky, and that may be lost to people who look at the cartoon in the sands of time, but we know that that was his intention, and anybody who opened "the post" that day knew what that's exactly what bill clinton was trying to balance. mr. block did not work long into george w. bush's presidency. he was too ill during 9/11 to do anything about that, even though apparently people were going to his hospital bedside and encouraging him and saying that they needed his voice. he died in october of 2001. what he did note about george w. bush was an assumption a lot of cartoonists made early in the election and in -- early in his presidency. and they drew him as stupid. now cartoonists who got to live longer came around on that and decided that he wasn't a stupid president. but at this point, that's how herblock is depic

he'd been on the clinton township force long enough to remember the killing at the strip mall.had gotten away with murder. the lieutenant had identified with the victim. >> i was approximately the same age and had children the same age and maybe that was something that just stuck with me. >> this is a tough one to pick up the stack. >> yeah. i knew that going in, but i always operate under the theory you don't shoot, you don't score. and i owed it to myself, because it was something i had told myself, but i owed it to barb, too. >> the detective needed help, good, old-fashioned shoe leather cops to make the calls, knock on doors. so he recruited veteran detectives jimmy hall and lenny rico. the three of them went into the old boxes, reading and re-reading yellowing police reports. but there's a reason crimes go into the cold case file and stay unsolved, a lack of evidence. the three wondered if they had one of those here. >> is this even doable and finally when we came to the conclusion that it's doable, we need to notify the family and that's when the family contacted them. >>

so they want to people from the clinton and obama administration. so that's when richard thompson, who would fortunately pass to win a couple years ago passed away. richard was an astounding territory tourist. he was really the top-flight caricaturist of the time and did a lot of things for u.s. news and world report and the new yorker and so he came in with a portfolio drawings and they got some of those and they wanted more and they say check out my friend matt worse at politico so i want. and i got also and some more recent political figures. i struggle both works, i work with caricature's and a political cartoonist and there is a difference. political cartoonists use words and when i'm wearing my political cartoonist hat, i'm really a political commentator. just like somebody who is writing a column in the pages, except i draw my opinion and ideally express it with her surname on a fume or and the poor columnist have to rely on using the words. i think the old song about a picture is worth 1000 words, is actually quite true. i mean, somebody who

whether it was the obama administration, the trump administration, the bush a administration, the clinton administration is a model alien was arrested by a local sheriff's department, a police department, state trooper, state police or highway patrol they were flagged by ice, detainer was issued whether whether they were put on put on trial or completed the prison sentence, this prevented them from sounding and once her committal procedure was over they would be sent home, the biden a administration has stopped doing that in the vast majority of cases. so all of the criminal offenders are now being released back into the u.s. population back into your communities, back into your schools, back into the places where you live. the result is good to be massive amounts, innocent people are going to get hurt, innocent people are going to get killed, innocent people will suffer

is the vice chair of the clinton foundation, where she has been working to promote access in addition to holding this portfolio consisting of efforts to create economic opportunity and public health and civic engagement and in so many other areas as well. she has been such a demonstrative leader. she serves on the board of the clinton health access initiative and the alliance for a healthier generation. she teaches at columbia university school of public health and has written several books for young readers, she is here and it's awfully good to see her today. we are thrilled to have her join this discussion and hopefully pick up where he had left off and let me ask at the outset because you have been touched and outspoken leader about the need for equitable vaccine access. how do we move forward, in your judgment, and drive confidence in the vaccine? because that is a big question for so many in the big problem, honestly and let's look at our country. why should the united states care about the. >> so we are eager to hear from you. >> thank you so much, i really want to thank everyon

so they wanted people from, you know, the clinton and obama administrations. so that's when richard thompson, who unfortunately passed away a couple of years ago, was brought in, and richard was just an astounding caricaturist, he was really the top flight caricaturist at the time, did a lot of stuff for "u.s. news and world report" and "the new yorker" and richard came in with portfolio drawings and they got some of those and they wanted more and then richard said, check out my friend matt who works at "politico," so i came in with a pile and got to also fill in some of the more recent political figures. i straddle both worlds. i work as a caricaturist and a political cartoonist. and there is a difference. political cartoonists use words, word bubble, and when i'm wearing my political cartoonist hat, i'm really a political commentator. just like somebody who's running a column in the op-ed page, except i have the advantage, i draw my opinion, and ideally, express it with a certain amount of humor and the columnists have to rely on just using their words. the

host: are you saying president clinton and president obama continued reaganomics? guest: you know, it is a little -- i will not say "reaganomics," but i will say a liberal economics that -- clinton certainly did speak about the era of big government is over. and obama was trapped, in a sense, by not going, quote, "big and bold" enough, and come in a way, instigating a people already movement, -- a tea party movement, because people felt the banks have been privileged, not people. so i think in the obama era, yet people like larry summers -- you had people like larry summers speaking out about inflation. inflation is not a warning of this country, on appointment is. if you could create a great jobs program, like roosevelt did during the great depression, and convince people an activist government had played that role. the problem at the moment is that, for too long, government has been the enemy. i think reagan said what are the most dangerous nine words -- "the government is at your door and wants to help you." the government is not the enemy, it is us. the key is

he thinks clinton, at least his sentiment then, doesn't work now. what do you say? >> i say the era of big government is back. that just came through loud and clear last night. what president clinton was trying to do, he thought the democratic party had shift today far to the left. in fact, it had lost two straight presidential elections when liberals were on the ticket and they lost badly. and so what president clinton was trying to do was find some third way, something in the middle between the republicans and the democrats. and it worked, by and large. but what we saw last night was historic. we haven't seen -- only twice in american history have we seen a president take the podium and drive the country toward building -- transforming the social safety net. transforming the relationship between government and the middle class and working class people. we saw that with lyndon johnson and the great society, 1965. and we saw it certainly with franklin roosevelt, the new deal in the 1930s. so that's the lane that joe biden has now chosen for himself. it's going to ma

and to discuss that and more, i'm joined by former secretary of state, hillary clinton. you so much for being here, secretary clinton, it's always great to talk to you. >> it's always great to talk with you, too, joy. >> i'm definitely going to ask you, because i know that issues regarding the defense fund and children are very important to you, so i'll get back to that. but i've got to get you to comment on an image of the two women, the vice president and the united states and the speaker of the house standing president joe biden. your reaction to seeing that happen? >> i was so happy, joy. i saw that when i was watching the speech, of course, and i loved the way the president turned around, applauded them, said that it was about time. it really was a watershed moment. i think it's still not sinking in on people, that the, you know, combination of the speaker of the house and our vice president has shattered so many barriers. and as you say, the glass ceiling. and it's just thrilling to see. >> and so back to the big, very big plans that president biden has put forward

the johnson clinton resolutions affirmed that the president deplorable civil war has been forced upon the country by the unionists of southern states. neither revoked against the constitutional government then war is not waged and part in any spirit of oppression, not for the purpose of conquest of subjugation, not purpose of interfering with the rights of established institutions of those states, but to defend and maintain the supremacy of the constitution and preserve the union with all the dignity, equality and writes the several states unimpaired. and that as soon as these objects are accomplished, the war ought to seize. the johnson clinton resolutions passed by surprisingly large margin of hundred and 17 to two and 30 to five in the house. even radicals, like data stevens voted for the resolutions, despite their desire for statement calling for the subjugation itself. emancipation was later added to the republican war aims. lincoln however, continue to insist, even after he issued his emancipation proclamation, that his primary purpose was to save the union and restore the south

and i'm delighted to be with my friend abby and to join chelsea clinton. you're right, at u.n. aid we're critically aware for the need for inclusive global health, you know, in the early years of the hiv epidemic, when life saving treatment was available to people in the rich countries in the west, people in developing countries didn't have the opportunity for this treatment for another eight years, eight years of waiting. during that time nine million lives were needlessly lost to aids in the developing countries, including here in namibia where i am. people in the global south were waiting because there were unjust trade rules which maintained monopolies for companies and kept prices high. that was the reason. so then you say where do we stand on vaccine distribution. well, we are not doing well at all, at all. today under at the risk of repeating what others have been saying, we have-- we expect by the end of this year, nine out of 10 people in pour countries will have missed out on a vaccine. as told us, people are being vaccinated in the richer countries where there's noth

and in the nixon in the clinton impeachment. there was a lot of acrimony there, but still you had a system there. that was not all bifurcated trafficking if there's another word quadra quadrificated. i don't know whether that's a word or not, but you don't have all these you didn't have all these different committees. you had senate judiciary. and if i were setting the thing up, i would have had one committee in the senate. i would have had one committee in the house. with input from the others, but now you seem to have a system. that's going to funnel everything in in the end to senate judiciary committee. which i find it hard to believe that it can work that well because you have you have people that are turfing. turfing is always. tremendously volatile thing on capitol hill don't mess with my my hearings. they're my hearings. it's my show. and you're getting a lot of shows on capitol hill today. the system is working with ragged edges. give it a little time. be patient. and try yourself not to be so partisan. show a little em

our next guest confronted hillary clinton in 2016, now he is afraid biden's policies will put even more people out of work. >> tom brady pulls off in april fools joke on his coach, the story behind that new tattoo coming up. and thousands of jewish survivors are still suffering in poverty today. god calls on people who believe in him to act on his word. "comfort ye, comfort my people." especially during this holiday season of passover. when i come here and i sit with lilia i realize what she needs right now is food. these elderly jews are weak and they're sick. they're living on $2 a day this now, is how god's children are living. take this time to send a survival food box to these forgotten jews. the international fellowship of christians and jews urgently need your gift of $25 now to help provide one survival food box with all of the essentials they critically need for their diet for one month. your special holiday gift will provide everything they need to celebrate the holy season of passover. do you remember matza? this is the first time in over 70 years that she has anything to do

no matter how many times bill clinton's name shows up on the manifest with all the inflight jail bait on jeffrey epstein's express, he's under no threat of criminal investigation. and while we're comparing monarchy and republic, of all the elite big shots palling around with the signature procura, clinton, former new mexico governor bill richardson, the only one, the only one to pay a price for his friendship with epstein has been prince andrew, duke of york, who got fired from the royal family by the queen for it. because one advantage of a real monarchy over a pseudo monarchy is that the very titles of prince and duke put the bearer under scrutiny. our informal princes, such as prince hunter, duke of crack, have no such restraint. right now there are two guys in the news who are in a spot of bother. congressman meat gaetz, who's been accused of paying a sex trafficker for hookups with under age girls. this billboard's going up all over the sunshine state. matt gaetz wants to date your child. simultaneously we have hunter biden and his lap top which contains quite a lot of tprafbic e

remember, clinton -- i do not know exactly how the clinton administration did it, but there were a lotess in debt than we were, but they were turning that aircraft carrier finance around. they were lowering the debt, the national deficit. host: heard your point, and we want some other voices, as well. here is a text from california that says i would give biden an f. too progressive, overspending, not working with members across the aisle. brad, you are an independent in kentucky. what is your grade for the president? caller: i would give president biden an f. those around him are probably giving him an a. he is covering -- governing exactly how i figured he would from what i saw in his career and the campaign. i think he is sort of a shell, and those around him, who are some of the worst intentioned people in government, have pushed him into the nomination over the infringement of democratic voters in that primary and those caucasus. from the nomination, they have pushed him into the white house, and he is there now -- not that i can verify that because no one is allowed to go to d.c.,

revved up it's a clinton us foreign policy you know weird we're the only sovereign nation we're global empire we decide who's good or bad you know we can we can sanction anybody without due process what is due process that doesn't matter and they go about the world acting like this and i think i would disagree with andrew that the warning applied only to russia. i think it applied to bella as well and putin specifically mention it as an example of something that shouldn't be done by anybody ever anywhere and that in so far as you know any red lines where were physically mentioned in the speech that was one of them stop regime changing unfortunately i don't think washington is physically capable of yeah you know they can't learn a new tricks here because their list low octane thinkers andrew you know we had the case of august 2008 and georgia i mean is anybody in the in the by the administration saying hope well we have this guy's alinsky and it looks like it's playing out the same way do they know how it ended feely and georgia how are we seeing a repeat here i mean where's the learnin

evident epidemiologist chelsea clinton has called on social media giant facebook to ban this show.why? because we ask obvious questions about the coronavirus vaccine. questions that were vindicated about three hours ago, you can't make it up, and we are not. we got details for you in just a moment. but first, tonight, things are changing fast, in case you haven't noticed. much too fast, actually, people can't metabolize change on this case. fox news viewers or elderly republican men, it is all species. human beings are not designed for abrupt changes to the way they think or live. most of human history, they do not have to deal with those. societies evolved slowly. fourth century france was very much like 14th century fans. 4,000 years, most people in france spent their lives following domesticated animals around the field and living in huts. than the 1700s, someone perfected the steam engine, and nothing was ever the same. life for average people began to change faster and faster, and then exponentially faster. and this continued on. it continues now to the present day, in which n

we will begin with chelsea clinton the vice chair of the clinton foundation where she has been working to promote vaccine access in addition to holding a wide portfolio of efforts to create economic opportunity and improve public health, civic engagement and so many other areas where she is a demonstrated leader. chelsea serves on the boards of the clinton health access initiative and the alliance for a healthier generation. she teaches at columbia university school of public health and has written several books for young readers. she is awfully one - - it is good to see you today we are thrilled to have you join this discussion and pick up with doctor shah left off. you have been such an outspoken leader for the need for equitable vaccine access. how do we move forward in your judgment to drive confidence in the vaccine? that still a big question for so many and a big problem obviously. and why is that important? and for a moment let's look at our country why should the united states care? >> thank you so much. and i want to thank everyone at georgetown and helping to bring us to toge

that's something that said about hillary clinton hillaryri clinton lost. whether is that what bernie continent 2016 of that is more electable. i was right they were wrong, okay?? you'll never see any of them admit that pretty juicy anyone on tv say oh are sorry turns at hillary clinton was out of it? that's pretty clear because she lost but not one of them apologize for c that. now with biden sehgal we told he'd be biden heat won by 43000 votes for that's less than trump's margin of victory in 201,643,000 votes and three states they almost lost a trump again the corporate democrats suck at politics. anyway they were good enough with their main street media to beat us in 2020. every year that goes by the online media get stronger in mainstream media gets weaker but online media in the right wing sign iss a disaster they have way more facts. that is the thing we keep catching them on all of their lies. so eventually were under 45 a year old we have a massive advantage. this under 45 -year-olds are incredibly progressive. everyone in the democrat party but ev

and what about hillary clinton? indeed. what about hillary clinton? seriously. what about hillary clinton? joining us now is andrew weissman, a senior member of robert mueller's investigative team and former general counsel at the fbi. also joining us is katie benner, justice department reporter for "the new york times." it's nice to see both of you. thank you both for being here. andrew, let me start with you. the execution of the search warrants today at mr. giuliani's home and business, a lot of observers are telling us that an overt act like that, which is not something you're trying to hide from the person who is the subject of these warrants, can sometimes tell you at what stage the investigation is. is it fair to read into those actions today by fbi agents in terms of telling us where we are in the investigation? >> yes and no, rachel. the question is, in order to have the authority to do what happened today, a court had to find that there was probable cause to believe that there was evidence on those devices of a crime. so that means that they're certain

hillary clinton paid cash faced criticism for the two-for-one concept.hy did it succeed for lady bird johnson, in this instance? guest: she did it carefully, only in retrospect. it was not something she talked about while she was in the white house. in practice, -- i do not know she had a security clearance, but in practice, she was in the room quite a bit, the room being lyndon johnson's bedroom where he conducted business quite a lot, west wing staff meetings not only in his bedroom, but also the oval office. the photo record tells the story but also does lady bird, where she is in and out of the oval office all day long or sending messages back and forth between the president and the first lady. i think liz carpenter's role is really key to that. she was one of the texas and washington inner circle members of the johnson world for a couple of decades before they reach the white house. she was perhaps closest to lady bird and lyndon of anyone in the white house and had the standing to broker and be the interlocutor between the east wing and west wing.

bill clinton, bill clinton was more popular in the year 2000 than he was in the year 1993. he used to think that, okay, if he could have run for a third term, he would have won. they fool themselves because by 1960, the democrats had no incentives to go after dwight eisenhower. they were focusing all their fire on the next one, richard nixon. the republicans in 2000 had no particular reason to go after bill clinton anymore. he got a free pass. they were aiming their guns at al gore. this question of popularity and how presidents look better in the rearview mirror is due to this artifact, nobody sniping at them anymore. when they're in office, you learn all the bad things about them. the clearest statement of presidential decline was made by henry adams. he was the grandson of john adams. he was the great-grandson of john adams and the grandson of john quincy adams. the adams family was in this state of political decline. there were two adams presidents in their background but henry adams couldn't even make a start in politics. but henry adams became a very distinguished his

you can understand that that would annoy bill clinton.then he would publicly criticize obama while in 2017- 2018 not saying anything about trump. he has been very tough on trump. even though he was in his mid- 90s, he wanted to go to north korea and make peace there. once trump decided to do that himself, carter did not have to, you know, make it nice to trump anymore. he is a very tough intent sometimes difficult guy who has been a handful for his successors. he got along very well with gerald ford. >> you talked about that partnership. i thought that that was fascinating. >> we run out of time. >> this wild reporter. having stated that jimmy carter really on when he was governor is one of the three men, i just remembered it -- >> hells angels. >> muhammad ali. >> jimmy carter was very, very friendly. hunter thompson, he loved jimmy carter. he helped make jimmy carter president. i don't think carter would have been president with out of hunter thompson's very strong support. somebody that he should look at. hunter thompson when ted kenne

biden was describing the call from then president clinton.ill as recently as 2015. today as president, joe biden is leading on a very different approach, and it can be a sign of strength to change your mind or change your plans when the results demand it. the factual history remains relevant. while parts of this crime bill have not aged well, other parts have actually proven vital. i'm not here tonight to oversimplify complex multidecade national policy or to try to pick sides. if you watch the beat, you know we try to present evidence, give you the story, you make up your own mind. but in the interest of the whole story in context, joe biden said something very specific over the years about that controversial bill. how it also included the most progressive national legislation ever to specifically confront and combat violence against women. that's true. and at that same ceremony where we heard that talk of getting tough and more prison money, you can hear his passion on getting that reform into law. >> i have never been more emotionally comm
