she was not a popular person in washington before the bill clinton sex scandal began cropping up. before he ran for president and during with monica lewinsky. hillary clinton built a career on playing the victim card and getting to where she is now. for someone who claims to be fighting for women and standing up or women, we can talk about women we can talk about her most recent history of the state department where she didn't address allegations of sexual abuse of minor girls overseas by ambassadors working inside the state department. some were deliberately retaliated against for speaking out against sexual misgivings and abuse. there was a lot of abuse that hillary clinton never addressed and tried to brush under the rug. then there was that story from "the free beacon," where she laughed about getting someone off charges. we can look at a career that was putting up with a philandering husband when you look at her own record for being a champion of women and girls, her record says opposite. >> how calculating is your language in the book to get people to agree with you? i will g

and that call from bill clinton which obviously we weren't going to say no to was my introduction back everything that happened after. that that's the way i said that, it was -- ex-citing part of it was she did it in front of people. people who choose the songs, tl george clooney one time said, i don't want you --" the "what does a man do whether they get a phone call who wants to lose your song and year like 236. >>> you look at washington to versus the ideaism that seemed to exist right at the time clinton of poised to go into the office. it's two mind sets, and were that to occur today? if you assume that bill clinton had not used that and some people say it's a the spirit of that and yor-- it's my song, bu it's really christine's song. that would be a tad awkward. >> it raise this question for me which is that the reason why clinton -- it's obvious when you hear the song. we know it and love it. it's s aep's interesting becaus kids were cooperating of something which was meant to be addressed to a single person in the context which is the convex, rumors, for ear. it also is a testa

president bill clinton. >> the fact that president bill clinton beat him. >> yeah. >> and they are suchod friends that he forgave bill clinton for beating him. i mean, frankly, i don't think -- i don't think i would forgive someone who beat me. i don't know. >> you know, no. actually, in that spirit, kent hanson and i are good friends. is he a guy that beat me by the way. dad, no, i think it's a great story. of the human heart. that and i make the case in the book at 92, incredibly tough on him. and i didn't realize it. because is he not a man of self-pity. >> after he lost? >> amp he lost. it hurt it stung him. and, yet, soon thereafter he and bill clinton, the man who beat him established a very strong relationship. so, you know, you make choices in life. dad chose not to be a bitter person. not so say defeat defines me. if defeat defines him he wouldn't have won he lost in texas and lost to governor reagan and goes on to be president. a very successful one i might add. >> a credit to president clinton too. >> no question. >> the two of them. >> he has been very kind to dad and all of

knu imagine anybody being able to be like hillary for bill clinton? it took a bill clinton to put hillary in the position where she could run for president. they were symbiotic. i am still fascinated by them. because they have dominated politics for 25 years. and they're still doing it which is quite amazing. so i am fascinated up through this summer i was hearing from some of her friends and colleagues who had said they really did want her to run and she was having great conflicted thought she would run. jazz plenty of money, a portable bully pulpit she can make an issue, one of the most famous woman in the world, she has the grandchild now. so why would she subject yourself to rehash everything? will be finally figured out from the very beginning hillary was about improving the lives of women and girls and made that part of her portfolio as secretary of state so that was it if he did not agree to that. says she put that into practice and she could do much more but more than that when she finally acknowledged a bomb is victory and digested that reali

this hard-headed advice about china and russia and how to organize his day. >> letters you say bill clintonll reads. >> in the last month of his life, there's a lot of turbulence in russia. he writes what is to be done in russia and how clinton should proceed. clinton said it is one of the two things he reads every year. he gets it out and re-reads it because it was such hard-headed advice. i think he does it also because it is peer to peer. it is something he can say he and i are in the same group. >> the other one he pulls out is another piece from club protocol is the note that george herbert walker bush left for him. the 1992 campaign is horribly painful for president bush, to not be reelected. he writes clinton a note that says by the time you read this you will be our president. i will be rooting for you. that kind of message, which his son would also communicate to barack obama, that we want you to succeed, all of us understand that the office matters more than the occupant. do they always act on it perfectly? confidential. >> i thought those letters were confidential. >> some are. b

president obama does not have that burden to deal with but bill clinton worked with the republican congress on a lot of things. he did veto bills as well but he worked with the republican congress on a lot of things. with everyone looking to 2016 three republicans in the senate, thinking about running, everybody's going to be out for their own agenda over the next two years in washington. and how the dynamic shakes out, it's really, really going to be interesting. >>. >> over the next two years, everyone will be out for their own agenda as opposed to every other day in d.c. steve shepherd, great questions and great answers. >>> up next, "the washington post" takes us beyond the beltway to tell us what the trends will be in 2015. premium milk veggies, orange wine calgon, take me away! snoou. >>> new zealand clicked off 2015 counting down the new year with huge fireworks display at midnight. australia entered the new year in style as well. lighting up the skies over sydney's iconic harbor bridge in their annual fireworks show. more than a million people gathered for that event. back here in n

bill clinton and george h.w.e was the incumbent, bill clinton the democratic challenger, ross paro involved in that race. hillary clinton here as her husband ran for re-election, move the time line along. unique moment in 2000, slide it over so you can see it, there you go, bill clinton handing the keys over to george w. bush in 2000. 2004, brother jeb was the surrogate as the brother ran for re-election. 2008, the age of the iphone, hillary clinton was the democratic nominee, but of course she ran in the democratic primaries, clinton in the running there. 2012, no clinton. no bush in the running for president. and now looking forward to 2016, and the big question mark, hillary clinton likely to run on the democratic side, jeb bush is considering running on the republican side. we'll reset that and walk over, robert costa, why hillary clinton formidable can wait, we'll hear from her in the spring, but jeb bush decided he's actively exploring and to be out there to publicly? >> governor bush has not been on a ball

look at bill clinton, compared to both presidents bush. he was like roses every year. spectacular job growth. times were good. times were great. incidentally, if hillary clinton does run for president, this is why republicans will try to re-write the clinton presidency, they will talk about the monica lewinsky. put that thing up there, yeah. right. this is what it looks like. this is what it looks like if you add our current president. 2009 started out this the worst depth of financial can tast ri. but, in pretty short order, turned it around and has been putting up good jobs numbers ever since. now, this year, 2014, is set to be the best year for jobs in this country since bill clinton. since 1999. as of the new data we got right now, as of today, more jobs have been created this year than two of the years under the boom of bill clinton. ap today looked at new numbers just out and called them boom-like numbers. in the "washington post," quote, this is what a real recovery looks like. merry christmas and happy hanukkah from your friends at the bureau of labor statistics

as bill clinton said. and #2, when the body language betrays them. they get down in a subservient or submissive position. that phrase is the biggest lie i have ever heard from a president. we were in the roosevelt room where he made a statement. jim lehrer was interviewing him for the news hour. the president denied it. the president came outside and talked to our cameras. madeleine albright and donna said the president said this did not happen and they believed it. none of the reporters did. >> what about weapons of mass destruction? from george w. bush. >> i think the president bought into a lot of intelligence at was not convincing. he and his advisers will tell you that other countries agreed with us. they said the intelligence shows that there are weapons of mass destruction. where do you think they got the intelligence? i assume it was the united states. he wanted to badly go in and end iraq as a problem in the middle east. he said, we will never settle israel and the palestinian state -- he and bill clinton endorsed a palestinian state. george

bill clinton was not very disciplined. [laughter] >> guest: but breck broke is very disciplined in the way he behaves. so a very different character. for me, i know bob gates kind of reflected a frustration with that process. but i have to tell you for me -- i understand kind of that process, having been through it as chief of staff and certainly having been in politics, i understand that kind of process that goes on there. in the end, i really do think that even though we had to fight our way to it, even though we had to fight sometimes the white house staff in the process, that in the end, the president would pretty much agree with the positions that we recommended, and gates said that and i said that in the book as well. >> host: doesn't sound like a very pleasant place. >> guest: you don't want to go to the white house if you're looking for pleasant. [laughter] >> guest: go to the caribbean or go to hawai'i. but don't go to the white house. the white house is -- it is a place where you have to engage. if you want to ge

years and webb is more like bill clinton than hillary clinton is. >> we can point out ed rogers is a republican political operative and lobbyist and when he is advising the democrats you have to take it with a grain of salt. she doesn't have to worry about jim webb's argument but she has to worry about jim webb's point. the views look that way compared to barak obama, that bill clinton was pushing in the 1990s is not what you hear from democrats today. and that's what webb and chuck schummer is saying when you make the point, you have to keep your eye on the broad middle-class, including whites. >> webb was critical of the president on the action on immigration and saying he is going it alone and ought to involve the congress here. >> webb is an interesting guy and probably will not win the nomination. he is well right as where the democrat s. he was the navy secretary under ronald reagan. and he's a very interest guy and a noted augustor. and as they say involved in the military and fought in vietnam. but not exactly what you call the mainstream democratic party activist. >> i am on

just imagine if it were bill clinton. we are back. we are number one.bama needs to capture some of that. >> even bill clinton was frustrated that by the end of his administration he didn't get enough credit. who does he get it first with if the president does get credit? business leaders, the public, congress? >> it is not republican members of congress, we know that. >> that answer was a gimm e. >> i think it'll be more from the business community. it has to come from the public, those independent-minded voters that on november 4 did not give him credit in part because he lost because he's didn't participate. >> business activity is up consumer confidence, housing everything seems to be moving. probably the fact of the world economy is not doing that well is the biggest drag right now. >> we are the envy of the world. we are so much better than everybody else. everybody went through a tough time six years ago and we have done better than western europe and other places. >> i said 64 million people signed up for obamacare. it is actually 6.4 million. >>

former president bill clinton and george w. bush appeared together in early september for the launch of the presidential leadership scholars program. the event was held at the news eum in washington is a partnership between which, clinton, george h.w. bush, and lyndon johnson. joshua bolten moderated the discussion. it is about 40 minutes. [applause] >> gentlemen, before i have a chance to ask you some questions, i have a letter from kennebunkport maine. 2014. i am delighted about the launch of the innovative partnership with the participating foundations in this new presidential leadership scholars program. every former president is different, and that is as it should be. for example, not all of us skydive. [laughter] is not a judgmental comment, just a fact. [laughter] every so often, however, there that itea so compelling brings together former chief executives and their foundations to push it forward. so it is with this presidential leadership scholars program, which will give leaders the chance to study decisions and learn

when people look back on the bill clinton years as a generally positive thing in our country? these are the annual job totals. george bush senior was before him. george bush jr., was after him. the economy was really good. there were lots of jobs being created. else specially compared to the republican years before him and after him. eventually, he dug out a little bit before clinton took over. george w. bush started out in the dumps, dug out a little bit over the first two, three years and then, at the end, just off the cliff. george bush was like roses every year. spectacular job growth every year. times were good. times were great. when clinton does run for president, this is why they're going to try to rewrite the clinton presidency because the only thing that happened was monica lewinsky. that's why they have to rewrite the history of the clinton presidency to make it only about bad things. all right. put the thing back up there. okay. this is what it looks like. this is what it looks like if you add our current president. 2009 started out this the worst depth of financia

just imagine if it were bill clinton. we'd be hearing we are back. we are number one.bama needs to capture some of that. >> even bill clinton was frustrated that by the end of his administration, he didn't feel like he got enough credit. you have gotten worse since then. if he does get credit, does he get it first with? business leaders, the public republicans members of congress? where's the low-hanging fruit him more credit? >> it is not republican members of congress, we know that. >> that was a gimme. [laughter] >> i think he'll get more from the business community. it has to come from the public those independent-minded voters that on november 4 did not give him credit in part because he lost the debate because he didn't participate. >> business activity is up -- consumer confidence, housing everything seems to be moving. probably the fact the world economy is not doing that well is the biggest drag right now. >> we are the envy of the world. we are so much better than everybody else. everybody went through a tough time six years ago and we have done better than w

bill clinton, picture of bill clinton.s kind of cool to find it. >> the work is uniquely rewarding but holding cleanups in town after town is challenging. >> we're moving and setting up cleanups and making it happen. it's always go, go, go. it's kind of like being in a band. bands have tour buses. we have a barge. much slower. when you move the barge you have to pull up the two spuds like and course and use the crane to get the ramp on. untie it, move the tow boat in place and go wherever you're going. it's a process. >> and the river itself has hurdles, locks,29 of them on the upper mississippi alone. >> so the river is like steps, all the way down. so we're just going to go, get in the lock. it will raise us up. we'll go on to our next place. >> often the barge has to wait hours to go through a lock. once inside, the gates shut behind it. >> and it basically fills up like a bathtub, a big bathtub. >> the water lifts the barge to the next level. >> so gate's opening and we're ready to roll. >> even when the barge is under

that is how he got close to bill clinton.hen he was governor in arkansas they came up with a friendship. with bill clinton ran for president, he was very helpful in those two campaigns for president, and he also ran hillary clinton's kentucky campaign. this is a long-standing relationship, and they lean on the clintons hard. they played a large, outside role in alison grimes's campaign. he helped and a lot of the key decision-making. >> staffing. >> he was involved in almost every single decision. >> what about the backtalk on the difference -- she seems to be in touch with harry reid. the political operatives here in town -- explain how that works. >> there were a lot of questions about whether -- who was going to be the opponent for mcconnell. themselves, did not have her initially on the upper tier. they respected her but she was not an issue. they had other opponents. when she was going to get in, she was recruited heavily by democrats.ther hard.ecruited her >> jeffrey katzenberg. jeffreyfor a second -- katzenberg's name

. >> bill clinton. i want to say this correctly -- he has a compelling posonality, incredible litical smarts. he overcame something that surprised me. i thought the impeachment and the personal stain of the monica lewinsky episode was something that people would not forget him for. it has been more than a decade. it seems that americans have very much forgiven him. behind the scenes, kind of controlling what the message was? >> one of the more affected people behind the scenes. bill clinton had a good staff. i think mike was a good choice to take over from myers. he did two things. mike did two things. able to him of being see around political corners. he would not stand at the podium and say something if he worried that, down the root word -- down the road, he would have to eat those words. he always thought out policy beyond the day or the week. he also knew that the president of the united states needed to separate fromty the scandal that was now beginning to become red-hot. he had the white house co

bill clinton. picture of bill clinton.what people are thinking but it's kind of cool to find out. >> the work is uniquely rewarding but holding clean ups in town after town is challenging. we're constantly moving and setting up clean ups and tearing them down and making them happen. it's kind of go, go, go. it's kind of like being in a band. bands have two buses. we have a barge. it's much slower. when you move the barge you have to pull up the two spuds which are like anchors and use the crane to get the ramp up, then you untie it, and go wherever you're going. it's a process. >> the river itself has hurdles. blocks. 29 of them on the mississippi alone. >> the river is like steps all the way down. we will go get in the lock. it will raise us up. we will go onto our next place. >> often the barge has to wait hours to go through a lock. >> it fills up like a bathtub. >> the water lifts the barge to the next level. >> so gate is opening and we're ready to roll. >> even when the barge is under way it doesn't exactly move at w

i'm just like bill clinton or barack obama. i came from nowhere and had nothing and got something. >> well, i have been in come to jesus moments with some people if i were to name them, caucasian people, powerful people in this nation, but there was a time when there was a repentance and they would cry and say i have been racist, forgive me, my brother, forgive me, my sister, so i have experienced racism in my lifetime. but i would not, still not say that all white people are racist. when my uncle was killed i wanted to blame white people. i wanted to hate white people. you have heard me say this. my daddy said you can't hate white people. white people marched with us. white people go to jail with us. white people pray with us. white people die with us. so i was taught that by my daddy, a.d., my uncle, m.l. america is not racist. there is racism in america. >> well, it is so sweet of you to hear you say m.l. we are going to honor your uncle with what we consider to be one of his most eloquent statements on race coming up here l

life is too short [inaudible] >> i was bill clinton when the day the story broke and the fact is that she never blamed beds. [inaudible] and so when he was running for congress for the first time, they locked bill and hillary in a room the night they were losing to talk about sending this money down to this particular precinct and in the middle of it the wife said, well, i don't know what you're making such a big buzz about this war. you need to take bill's girlfriend out of hillary's face and you are pimping with this younger woman. and so she starts yelling at the campaign manager is white. and they said that the windows were broken and nobody could get out of the house because she had locked it and so it was really crazy. and bill clinton is just sitting there. [laughter] and nobody ever touched him. and so it was the morning after this and he was just fuming about the flowers. we saw them on tv and we walked into motels and we sat there and in the lobby there was gennifer flowers playing on his steamy conversation. so we watched her face and it was no surprise. and they ride away

caller: the real person responsible for the failure of banks was bill clinton. in his last year in office in 1999 he signed a bill repealed the glass legal act. it is a nation of investment he ks with saving banks, signed a bill that authorised the repeal of that bill and that led to this disaster of 2008. he's the one who should go to jail and be held responsible for this. why would a democratic the ident repeal it built frank roosevelt put. he should be responsible for the signing of that bill. guest: there is a lot of shifting politics and this. senator john mccain introduced a bipartisan restatement of the glass legal act. of folks who ot share how you feel, and think the glass legal act would allow them to expand their businesses. bank were mean that a no longer be able to do both, commercial and investment banking. there would be a very clear wall. the argument for supporters is have got too big. and many democrats, practically all republicans felt that the glass eagle act got the economy moving again. a lot of economist have looked said it was not what le

people look at bill clinton and see a natural politician and charismatic politician, and then hillaryy contrast is a little more reserved, a little more predictable, and when people make the comparison, sometimes she ends up looking less attractive to voters. host: you bring up rand paul. he was also one of the several republicans who sought to tie hillary clinton to the 2014 losses suffered by democrats, i believe saying the obama-clinton slate of candidates were rejected or something to that effect. guest: yes, and even took to social media, posting pictures of some of these losing senate candidates with hillary clinton at campaign events with the # hillaryslosers. he was not being subtle. host: mark williams on our twitter page, please let the american voters have a fresh choice for 2016 for president, no clinton, bush, mccain, and no romney. claude is up next, our line for democrats. caller: good morning. happy holidays to both you folks. i want to say with the enormous amount of funds that just went into our midterm election, how do you foresee that? i'd like to get your take on

>> i want to go back to the taft days. >> or bill clinton days quite frankly. >> find them in a tub.ign to watch when someone in the audience is heckling, he is like, shut up! >> i want to see him screaming and sweating his way to the white house. >> he is too sensitive. i think hillary clinton's camp is excited about the idea of jeb bush canceling out that name recognition problem. biggest issue for both of them. if warren comes in on the democrat side, that purities bush. i think rand paul is a serious threat for hillary clinton. >> i agree. >> i agree 100%. >> because they're both kind of snappy and short-tempered. >> when he pulls out and pulls out and women on stage the media will go after him. when he pulls that new jersey stuff. >> what if it is hillary clinton? >> he has wiggle room. >> sometimes it just takes one sentence to blow up the news cycle. "politico" putting together a list of 2014 quotes that got lots and lots of attention. start with this one from the president. when asked about the growing threat from isis, as the terror group swept through iraq and parts of syri
