context of the decisions bill clinton made about kosovo and bosnia, how does bill clinton see what heiews in the world now. mccain said specifically the middle east, how do you view what's going on in various parts of the world in terms of large-scale killings. clinton gave a very long answer. then he brought it back to saying that, if he had -- essentially, if he had governed by polls, if he had governed by telling the american public that congress was just so opposed to it that he would have looked like "a total wuss." and americans expect their presidents and members of congress to lead and that's what they elect them for. he got asked another question about the middle east, not specific about syria but what the u.s. role should there be given this post-arab spring climate. his response was again very long but he said very clearly a lot of people say that we should stay out of syria, it is a mess. he said we shouldn't overlearn lessons from the past. he compared syria not to iraq or af afghanistan of the last ten years but more like afghanistan of the 1980s when president reagan go

might be for hillary clinton more than it is for bill clinton is who made the news? bill clinton. once again. and this was always one of the -- chris: the shot of obama. >> the shot at obama and syria. and it happened -- that comes out literally steps on the new -- the clinton news that was supposed to be made that day which is her coming out, this speech. chris: how does she protect the brand with him there? >> this is -- continue to be this challenge for her. which is bill clinton, he didn't mean -- this is not a case where he meant to step on her and meant for this stuff to leak out. all this stuff. he didn't. but it's just a reminder that it's very -- the shadow is still a long shadow. chris: because bill clinton is gratified if she wins on her own like this or does he need her to be his absolution for what he did -- >> her years as secretary of state he had enough respect for the office to try to state back. and now that she's a private citizen again, it's going to be harder and harder for him to not weigh in. and so that buffer of years where she was her own person and he wa

bill clinton one of those movies talking presidents we've ever had joe biden joe biden congrats to him for his son one of the few politicians who had a son go to war. that is they are still the man who succeeded you tim bolen. he's ok i guess but he's definitely not presidential material in the fight of sought reelection you wouldn't even know his name what do you make of the voter suppression concepts going on people have to bring id it's awful there's no there there it's a red herring land it is racist it's all of that it's a red herring in the fact that there is no voter fraud it's so minute that you have a better chip i heard a quote the other day you could get hit by lightning more times than voter fraud so if there's three voter fraud in election how is that going to swing an election

i think the question when you talk about bill clinton's legacy and people grapple with this, this was clinton, 48, dole, 47 elections. the most recent poll when he signed it, september 20, 1986, a cbs poll that day said 36-34. bob dole was calling the dodgers the brooklyn dodgers. i have a soft spot for bob dole, have i to say, but he was a hapless candidate and bill clinton was going to win this election. when you talk about his legacy, the criticism comes n how many people bill clinton really wanted to sign this? most people i talk to say they don't think he really wanted to sign it. maybe he's going to take a hit, instead of being 56-34. >> that's why he's so successful politician. they don't take any election for granted. you're right. listen, president clinton recently wrote this op-ed in "the washington post" before the cases were argued at the supreme court. and he himself said, i signed a piece of legislation which i should have known at the time was unconstitutional. i mean, i can never remember in american history a president saying, you know, a living president, a president

and that i think will keep them together, even if bill clinton says things that are offscript that cause ripples along the way. >> larry, i still think hillary clinton, maybe it's the way i've looked at her and tracked her from before, that she will run a notch or two the right of president obama, especially on foreign policy. she will point out that she is not taking her positions supporting the iraq war, that she will run as maybe the margaret thatcher role you are to be as a woman, even if these days, you have to be positioned a bit more hawkish than the average democratic presidential nominee. what do you think? it's my belief. >> actually, that's a very good point, chris. look, if she wants to do one thing different from obama electorally, it will be to try to bring back appalachian state voters into the democratic party. let's be honest. it's because of race mainly that they abandoned the democratic party for obama in both 2008 and 2012. but those were big bill clinton states. now, she won't do as well as bill clinton did, but i think she can certainly reduce the margins of victory

chris: one of the big issues for the democrats was how much bill and hillary clinton was pulling for e was getting her ducks in a row to run the next time if kerry lost to bush. here's campbell brown. katty kay, bill brown. does he want kerry to win? >> doesn't he want to have his cake and eat it too? >> what do you think? >> i think that deep in his heart, the clintons think that the best thing for the country is a hillary clinton presidency. i think there is also the possibility that that means waiting. >> i think that's too cynical. i think the clintons move in democratic waters. the party is unified and angry at george bush. if both of them don't give this their best shot, it will be noticed. >> hillary is am bive louse about the victory. >> she's doing everything she possibly can. chris: kerry didn't make it, of course. it wasn't about substance. but it was also about style. let's take a look at casual moments in coffee shops in last year's campaign. >> what an honor to say hello to everybody. there are three sisters, four sisters and one little dude. >> go to johnkerry.com and y

why would bill clinton suggest it's the polling that's keeping president obama from putting troops or taking any other kind of extreme step of getting involved with syria? >> you know, i'm not sure. clinton can be mischievous. obviously they don't have a close personal relationship. it's been very frosty not too many years ago. i'm not sure there was a shot across obama's bow. >> if earp obama, would you think so? >> i'm not sure that i would. obama has generally been pretty good, something like the auto bailouts. >> c'mon, jon. i'm just saying, c'mon, jon. >> i know, you're saying c'mon, and i'm saying bill clinton was doing what he often does, which is talking especially nowadays, talking abstractly about presidents. >> i heard your first answer. >> look, chris, chris, if he was committed to intervention and trying to stake a shot at obama because he wasn't, then i would take your analysis of this, but clinton is not on record saying we should rush in right now. he's out of the swing of things, and he's much more into this kind of meandering conversation, especially when he's behind

thanks to bill clinton's comments to john mccain, there are probably some former hillary clinton staffersho are having not-so-fond flashbacks of what's taking place in chicago this weekend, because look at it. after the best-laid plans for hillary clinton's rollout yet again she got overshadowed by the other clinton. it's a reminder that as much as hillary clinton of today has emerged from her years in the administration with a political brand that's distinct from her husband, she can't totally get out of his shadow. he can still overshadow her when he says something as we saw. the clinton global initiative gathering hillary clinton, though, did begin to fill in the tbd that we all laughed at on her twitter bio, laying out an agenda for her post-state department life and it focuses on issues she's worked on for decades and it doesn't have much to do with foreign policy, it's early childhood education and women. >> this should be a no-brainer, when women participate in peacemaking and peacekeeping, we are all safer and more secure, and when women participate in politics, the effects ripple

behind closed doors bill clinton had some rather interesting things to say about president obama contemplatingding to politico speaking last night at an event with john mccain, clinton repeatedly said would be lame to blame a lack of intervention in syria and said "if you refuse to act and you cause a calamity, the one thing you cannot say when all the eggs have been broken you'd look like a total wuss and you would be. that's pretty tough talk from president clinton towards president obama. >> it's a bit of a school kid taunt. he's seen as like the cool kid on the schoolyard. he's not somebody who you want going out there and shaping perceptions. people look to him for his opinions. he's not someone you want to go out shaping your opinions in a negative way. the president has been very cautious here. i think he's going to continue to have a lot of folks who have experience on these issues continue to question whether or not that caution was the right approach. >> this was allegedly an off-the-record session in which he was sitting with john mccain, who is allegedly -- you know about those off

they just changed their foundation from the clinton foundation to the bill, hillary and chelsea clintonn. that tells you they're very much a family, a team, a packaged unit, and they're going to do everything they can to support her. the standing ovation she got yesterday that you're showing now is astonishing. people love this woman, want her to win. guess who else wants her to run? the republicans want her to run, want to attack her as we've been seeing. >> she's making money hand over fist now, isn't she? >> yes, a lot. she's with the harry walker agency, which is her speaking engagement agency, if you will, for all disclosure, mine as well. by the way, she makes a heck of a lot more when she speaks than i do, and she should. but she is making a ton of money. she's out there doing what she should be doing, running for president in a quiet way. >> you do well on your own. i will send you a cronut. >> i want one of those. >> whatever it is, i got to have one, man. is it good? >> it's great. >> i got to have one! >> awesome. jimmy williams, why it matters. thanks for being here. stick a

bill clinton, the person who signed it into law, and coming out with his wife saying that, you know, this is something that is akin to civil rights. so you have seen a major shift. but, you know, color us skeptical that politicians would move with the public opinion but that is what happens. i think democrats, you know, in supporting civil unions back in -- way back in 2008, you know, they thought that was one way that they could walk this line and say to gay rights advocates, look, we're on your side, but we just can't win if we're pro-gay marriage. now that's all changed. >> the thing that's important, we showed the numbers, nbc/"wall street journal" poll, 30% in 2004 favored same sex marriage. the number in those numbers. republicans remain. they remain opposed. and that's why it's such a tough nut for many people looking at the presidential race to crack. here's what moreco rubio had to say. this is about immigration but it's the same problem. you have conservatives. conservatives want one thing. the center of the country seems to be moving in a very different direction. let's pl

whitman, you were an advisor to bill clinton. in 1996, of course, you weren't involved in the decision to advocate for the defense of marriage act or to sign it into law. nevertheless, it wasn't that long ago, right, that bill clinton did sign doma into law. and we have 30 plus states where the american people have either through referendum or through, you know, through other means decided for those states this is the way they view marriage. are we to believe now that all of those states are demeaning and derogatory and dismissive in their views of gay americans? because that was kind of the subtext of what the court said today in one of these decisions. kennedy was pretty clear there. >> we have almost never seen in our life times or even before such a swift change in public opinion toward the full acceptance of gays. >> laura: why does the court have to step in? >> the reason for that is that people are being harmed. children are being harmed. millions and millions of couples are legally married across the united states and not
