the other is bill clinton. over the government and the budget and the government shut down and all these things. what is the role in the origins of tribalism? >> they had to be able to win a presidential election so he did the thingto that as we say was thoughtt. to the impossible they were not just posting the presidential election they were getting blownal out in ways we cannot even conceive of today. they won 49 states in 1984. jimmy carter lost 44 in 1980. mcgovern lost 42. elections these days they will then 20 states and scramble over this vanishing number of swing states and they start with 45% and that the question of who can excite their base than most. if you need a democrat who could wwin the majority that is the first thing he could win. bill clinton put himself in the position to do this where he got rally the old liberal art of the party and be the last hope to stave off the conservative takeover represented by a man named paul tsongas who ended up being the rival for the 1992 democratic nominatio

would you want bill clinton on the campaign campaign trail with you?y not, for other reasons. i think there are better people in places like ohio. i think joe biden is great. >> kennedy: let's get back to bill clinton. what about bill clinton -- >> marie: here's what i find so fascinating. donald trump's problem with women seem to not impact his ability to campaign at all paired i love that we are focusing on bill clinton. good for democrats who are saying we want other surrogates out there. i do think it's largely a result of the me too movement, but i also think there are other surrogates. he was president a long time ag ago. >> kennedy: his delivery and his personality -- >> marie: there are younger people need to need to turn ou. they look at joe biden, barack obama. people who fire them up. >> to be fair, president obama was not good at getting other candidates elected. >> marie: george bush is that their candidate republicans. >> former presidents just sitting in their sheds, sketching out some future watercolors -- >> of these former presidents

in many ways, you could think of bill clinton and george w.bush and the differences in politics as being people who really believed that the best strategy for presidential communication is to be this king. this thing that the bride at every wedding and corpse at every funeral. the wasn't a policy issue that the two of them did not want to wait and on. clinton and they did so with great, great opportunity and great aggressiveness. brock obama in some ways, and more different president these two. in terms of, he didn't try to dominate every news cycle. he didn't insist that is tourism, every policy goes back to the old harry truman idea that in a lot can get done in washington if you don't mind some of the else taking credit for. obama approached healthcare for example, was more about presenting an image of the congress doing a lot of the heavy lifting. there was the visible place with that was happening. obama character was was this other story. it was compelling to a lot of americans. we think of the difficulties in his childhood, how he rises

the other is bill clinton. and you know, he and newt gingrich have faced off in all these famous moments over the size of government and the budget and the government shutdown. and you know getting a good seat on air force one and all of these things. what is clinton's role in the origins of tribalism? >> yeah, i mean first of all, bill clinton had to be able to win. his democrats had to be able to win a presidential election to set up the type of class we are talking about. bill clinton did the thing that you say was, thought to be impossible for democrats. democrats were just losing presidential elections prior to 1992.they were getting blown out in ways we cannot even conceive of today. ronald reagan won 49 states in 1984. michael dukakis did better in 1988 he only lost 40. [jimmy carter lost 44 in 1980. mcgovern 49 and 72. think about that. elections these days where it is a given at the start of every election democrats win 20 states and republicans will win 20 states and they will scramble over this vanis

trump was very quick to respond to his own accusations about sexual misbehavior by bringing up bill clinton. but hillary clinton then said, well, look, she was an adult. it wasn't abuse. is it clear from the time that you've spent with her and how you observed her on the campaign and since then, has hillary clinton fully processed all of this and what's happened? >> i don't think any of us will ever really know beyond what hillary clinton said publicly or in her own books in terms of how she's processed this over time. obviously, it's got to be not only painful from the perspective of her marriage but for people to be talking about this 20 years later. you know, something, obviously, no spouse would want to have to go through and at the level that this has been so tremendously public. i think few of us can imagine going through that over the course of the number of years that hillary clinton has gone through it. with regard to linda tripp, you know, in monica lewinsky's telling as you just played that clip, linda tripp was taking advantage of somebody who was 24 years old and vulnerable, ac

. >> i think bill clinton did a lot to merit his own impeachment. i think he knew members of congress were looking for him to make mistakes and then when he made those mistakes and later testified under oath in a way that was false and for which he was later held in contempt by a judge for perjury, bill clinton made his impeachment almost inevitable. >> sunday night at 8:00 eastern on c span's q and a. >>> next, a visit to the national world war i museum and memorial in kansas city. there we learn about one of the key architectural features of the site. >>> united states entered world war i a century ago on april 6th, 1917. when congress voted to declare war on germany. the conflict was already in its third year. more than 4 million american men and women would eventually serve in uniform and the influx of manpower changed the tide of the war, bringing it to a close in 18 months. next, we travel to kansas city to learn about the national world war i museum and memorial built to preserve the history of what was then called the great war. and to honor

bill clinton and hillary clinton are still out in public. they're doing a tour right now.it is them continuing to be in the public sphere. part of it is this massive historical moment that we had 20 years ago, i think everybody remembers where they were at that time when that was breaking. for me i was in college. someone may have been at lower points -- >> historical moment that we're in now. >> women being elected and we've seen a protest movement of women since the election of president trump. >> this new documentary by the way premieres on sunday. it airs over three nights. jonathan allen, thank you for coming on. katherine, eugene, stick around. it's been one week into the midterms. who's up, who's down, who's admitting they're thinking about a run. that's after the break. ey're tht a run. that's after the break ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ comfort. what we deliver by delivering. ♪ the new capital one savor card. earn 4% cash back on dining and 4% on entertainment. now when you go out, you cash in. what's in your wallet? >>> the last votes still have not been counted in the midterm electi

sorry. >> reporter: and then, just last month, hillary clinton was asked by cbs if time had changed her opinion. >> in retrospect, do you think billhould have resigned, president clinton should have resigned, in the '90s, in the wake of the monica lewinski scandal? >> absolutely not. >> it wasn't abuse of power? >> no. >> reporter: despite the re-examination that "me too" may have brought, lewinski still contends that it hasn't come far enough for her. writing that that else say for "vanity fair" what feels more important toha whether i am owed or deserving of a personal apology is my belief that bill clinton should want to apologize. i'm less disappointed by him and more disappointed for him. he would be a better man fit, and we in turn a better society. >> monica apologizes to both hillary and chelsea. i mean, i think she's deeply remorseful. monica's always been very up front about, this was a consensual affair. and her regret in that. >>> next, from the catwalk to the computer lab, how supermodel karlie kloss is empowering young girls. how's your cough? i'm good. i took 12-hour mucinex and sent it far away. hey buddy, have you

and the president, bill clinton.a lot of wreckage that came out of that relationship, both personal more monica lewinsky and for the president and his family, but also for the country. i think there was a year lost in bill clinton's presidency where some good things could have been accomplished for the country and basically we were at a standstill in the midst of this feeding frenzy, which against the backdrop, there's a movie out now about gary hart and how he was basically, you know, forced to drop out of a presidential race because he was pictured with a young woman on his lap who wasn't his wife and he wouldn't answer the question whether he ever committed adultery. americans are still coming to grips with where is the line and what do we tolerate, what do we condone and condemn. >> jonathan, we're now in this era and i'll say the era of two years, three years of the me too movement and you were able to speak with both president clinton. you had the first interview after he left office and you spoke with monica a

i think that bill clinton has fallen short on this. ince the moment it happened all these years ago. i think if i were hillary clinton and i were serious about the next run, i wouldn't be on a book tour with him, i'd ob a book tour by myself saying, i'm out here speaking in my own voice, i don't need this guy. honestly, he's done some things that i don't like, he's handled some things in a way that i didn't like. to me, that's what people are craving. i think authenticity, a word hillary used, is the exact right word. people are craving that in our politics and she's probably better able to do that without him sitting next to her. i think if she's serious, she's going to break away from this guy at least as a public matter. >> we'll be right back. what?! -welcome. -[ gasps ] a bigger room?! -how many of you use car insurance? -oh. -well, what if i showed you this? -[ laughing ] ho-ho-ho! -wow. -it's a computer. -we compare rates to help you get the price and coverage that's right for you. -that's amazing! the only thing that would make

bill clinton had no comment. lewinsky writes, if she ran into hillary clinton, she would acknowledge to her sincerely how very sorry i am. kate snow, nbc news. >> it's cnn versus president trump today. a federal judge will hold a hearing for the network's lawsuit against the administration. cnn sued over the white house's decision to revoke reporter jim accosta's press credentials after a confrontation at a press conferce all down for us, nbc's tracie potts in d.c. they are calling it a violation of the first amendment dmiss i grandstanding. >> reporter: this was the contentious news conference, not just with accosta but the news media period. during that news conference, accosta was asking the president a question and refused to give up the microphone when the president told him to. as you over a staffer who grabbed at the microphone. accosta refused and then later, his credential to get into and cover the white house was revoked. cnn now filing lawsuit saying this was a last resort. >> did cnn try toor be restor

gave what others have described as the full bill clinton. re the only person standing there. the next day, we had a surprise party for bill on the south lawn that the staff was having. i did this really silly thing. i ran home at lunchtime and i put back on the sage green suit i had been wearing before when he paid attention to me. maybe he will notice me again. and notice me he did. >> bizarre. what a wild ride so many years ago. so much implications. such change to our political culture and o. let's discuss with two pros. i was kind of moved by a lot of what i have heard here. even though i read it in her book. i have known monica lewinsky over the years. i have heard her talk about this. there's something for me, frank, in hearing her discuss it that put it through the lens of whafwhat was done to her in a way i never processed it before. >> a degree i agree. she was a very, very young woman at the time. it got lost at the time i think in retrospect we understand. but she was 22 i think whether this began. bill clinton was 49 or 50. as it

the question i have for you is in your book and your reporting, why do you not right on bill clinton, juanita broderick, katherine willy, disposing himself to apologize, hold on. hold on. hillary clinton, one who was in jail, the fact web hubble is the real father of chelsea clinton, that bill clinton has a son in arkansas. with a prostitute. >> do you want me to answer. >> we got the basic idea. >> the question is this. why does it take robert mueller and roger stone to write the me too movement book and not a liberal feminist journalist from the new york times, why? >> i want him to repeat the question. [applause] >> if you are familiar, your co-author is more familiar with my reporting than you are but early on we reported on some of the problems bill clinton had with women that would come back and hunt him and i look back after hillary clinton's recent comments about monica lewinsky, about young women being conflicted about being excited for hillary but conflicted about how some of the women back in the day that you mentioned were ashamed and dismissed and very early actually in r

it all lies on bill clinton. he was a dirty dog and i believe he still is a dirty dog. would never vote for hillary clinton because i agree with michelle obama and what she stated in the 2008 presidential election. if a woman cannot take care of her home and demand respect, there is no way she will demand respect from world leaders who are mostly male. she should have divorced him and been long gone like the woman married to mark sanford. as soon as she found out of that home, she was gone and took her kids with her. i have no respect for hillary and for the woman who called from ohio, she did not sound under 30, number one and number two, it is so old-fashioned to blame the woman. it was a total in balance of power and the man has the responsibility to say no. there may have been a young woman interested, but he had a track record of being a philanthropist and womanizer or whatever you want to call it. he had many accusers and i believe all of them. i believe donald trump's accusers as well. host: stan in maryland, go ahead. caller: yes, sir. a 20nk bill -- i have tweet

when it comes to the economy, what happens is the globalization had a consensus between bill clinton, george h. w. bush, george w. bush and certainly elements of my administration. the world was doing better because of globalization and there were folks whose factories were being closed and you have a winner take all economy back in 1960 maybe the ceo takes ten times more than the guy on the assembly line and now it is 200 times over 300 times the capacity of nationstates to regulate global capital. the communities that are being hurt by whether it is automation of the competition it becomes harder to do because everybody's worrying about what the quarterly reports are going to look like in wall street. so that creates frustration and contradictions. i think a legitimate critique which i consider myself to be part of and still believe it. the frustrations were going to flare up and all these changes that were happening were happening quick he had to address them and speak to them and in those environments you start getting a different kind of politics. you start getting a politics bas

bill clinton said when asked, i don't need to apologize for her. between that and all the other clinton women, democrats let him get away with it? why? why can't he just say, if you want an apology, you deserve one and i will give you one? >> i don't know, i think he absolutely should have apologized to her. i think hillary clinton also should have said it was a mistake, a fundamental abuse of power. >> sean: she said she never got it. >> sean: >> i'm saying she shoue apologized. >> they never apologized and remember hillary -- the bimbo eruptions. they called her floozy, psycho, and a cleaner. so that boomerang on the clinton's and they should own up to that. >> sean: jessica, last word? >> my last word is maybe donald trump could apologize to all the women he has taken advantage of. >> you mean miss usa? you gave those women lots of opportunities jessica, come on. >> he does not cherish women. >> sean: i tell you what. it's been a while since we had you on. for the first time ever, it's a tie. >> it's a tie? >> it's nobody's world. >> i want to r

it's striking for bill clinton to say what he's saying now about canada having a good system. inton signed in 1996 the toughest immigration reform bill that is still with us today. it invented the immigration enforcement and increased deportations, right? >> over the years it's been bipartisan in terms of support for securing our borders and making sure we improve our immigration system. now president trump is in office and people hate for this president has jeff come their desire to get things done for the american people and make our system better. they know it's broken and we need to get things done. but they prefer to obstruct the agenda of president trump. i think a lot of them are backtracking on this issue. there have been many cases or the past 20-30 years where a lot of these democrats still in congress today supported the things president trump and his administration are talking about now. liz: madison, tell us what happened over the last five years. all of a sudden the media and their coverage, critics are saying there is a 180 in perspective of what is needed to do

>> i think at the time there was an outside focus not on bill clinton who is himself the president butn monica lewinsky seen as the other woman and mr. clinton called her that woman. when the focus should have been on the president of the united states having an affair with someone who is his subordinate. >> i know it's called "the clinton affair". you say people's reactions 20 years ago are inexplicable, viewed through the prism of otwo decades. >> i mean it's very hard to identify with people who made fun of her. i think we should have a better appreciation of owhat they go through when they're in relationships that have this pow and balance. maybe we have more vivid understanding of how that suffering feels but it's very hard to identify with the people who mocked her and ridiculed her. >> what's top of mind? >> bill maher called her a home wrecker, said if anyone owes the country an apology shs it's her. it's an absurd point of view and hard to imagine anyone saying that today. >> ana, she herself has had a change of heart. in 2014 she had written that her relationship with clinton

upcoming documentary where monica lewinsky relives the raw emotion she felt during her affair with bill clinton and during the scandal that followed. >>> but we begin with that breaking news involving the white house. in just the last hour, a judge granted temporary order forcing the white house to restore the press credentials to cnn correspondent jim acosta. now, the judge who made his decision it's important to point out was appointed by president trump, and it all started with this incident, acosta asking questions to the president, a white house intern tried to take the microphone away from him during that east room press conference. now, at first the white house said it took the credential because he placed his hands on the intern. then they kind of changed their story, said it was because acosta was rude. well, cnn and acosta then sued the president. chief of staff, john kelly, deputy chief of staff bill shine, press secretary sarah sanders and the secret service. this ruling is a victory for the press, for cnn, and a blow to the president who has called the media the enemy of the people

bill clinton should be the one who is ashamed.for the #metoo and the' timesup movement, it's hard to imagine she would receive the same treatment today. >> the moment we were actually in the back office for the first time the truth is i think it meant more to me that's somebody other people desired, desired me. however misguide for who i was in that very moment at 22 years old. that was how i felt. howie: you know what they were doing in the back office. she was very candid. she loved bill. she was a 22-year-old intern. you went to the white house when you were 23. did you think about what happened to her? gillian: i did. when i joined the bush administration i was 23 years years old. seeing the oval office for the first time, being in the west wing. being around people who worked in the clinton administration. it dawned on me how incredible this escapade in american history had been. understanding exactly how many people would have been aware internally something was up. trying to understand how an intern which is as low on the t

clinton. it's a story that needed to be told. here's a story about our views with respect to the disappearance which constituted an obstruction of justice as i see it of the rose law billing records in little rock, arkansas. they show that hillary clinton have performed legal services for a savings and loan in little rock the field and affected with fraud. that story needed to be told. it's never been told because we did not bring those charges and do not bring those charges because we do not believe we had the evidence admissible in court to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that hillary had committed those crimes but we believe she had committed those crimes. the story needs to be told. use the m word to begin with. orality. i'm not talking morality at all. i'm talking about the rule of law and i think that is what the special counsel statute was talking about and what janet rena was talking about. that is when she said the special division three judges, three federal judges, starr needs to investigate whether crimes against the rule of law including perjury and instruction of justice were committed. is that moral? of course but were not talking about the relationship and

but this could be her strongest rebuke yet of former president bill clinton.e in a docu-series, looking back on that scandal and how she feels about it today. this morning, monica lewinsky in her own words, explaining that her decision to participate in a new a&e docu-series was due to the fact that most of the filmmakers were women. throughout history, women have been reduced and silenced, she writes in an article for "vanity fair." now, it's our time to tell our own stories in our own words. lewinsky calls the process of filming exceedingly painful and traumatic. filming the documentary forced me to acknowledge to myself past behavior that i regret and feel ashamed of. despite all of the ways i tried to protect my mental health, it was still challenging. the process of this docu-series led me to new rooms of shame and delivered me to grief's doorstep. in the new article, lewinsky also addresses whether or not she feels she is owed a personal apology from bill clinton, something the former president discussed with craig in a recent interview here on "today."

brian: how involved were you with the bill clinton impeachment? mr. rhardt: i was brought in as a joint witness in hearings before the house judiciary committee in the clinton impeachment process. i was there in part because i had written about impeachment before 1998, which is when the clinton episode became heated. because i had been involved with impeachment prior, people in congress new it was an area i had consultant on desk consulted on. so i was brought in as a witness and helped advise some senators later in the process. i had a chance to think about impeachment as an academic subject and also think about it in the real world. how does this stuff happen on the ground? the presidential impeachment is rare. so i had a chance to write about it and also testify and interact with members of congress. brian: should bill clinton have been impeached? mr. gerhardt: great question. i think bill clinton did a lot to merit his own impeachment. i think he knew members of congress were looking for him to make mistakes and then when he made those and later te

i would say that monica lewinsky was certainly the most high profile case of bill clinton's extra maritalalso important to remember there were multiple allegationles of sexual misconduct against clinton at that time ranging from sexual harassment to rape. and it was all those women who were a part of those allegation really suffered at the time. they were called liars. they were reputations were smea and i think this this broadenid of how they were treated. >> lewinsk talked in the her dignity and reputation and almost her life. her mother made her take the shower with the door opened. she was afraid she would do something. i don't think people realize the cost to her like the toll it took on her. >> i think that's absolutely right. i think that's the most profound, the mom being worried, she would harm herself. she wouldn't let her out of her sight when the fbi agents were pressuring her to wear a wire and work to implicate the president. i think it's important has clearly, talk about the impact of the "me too" movement. for years, she has become an outspoken advocate for women of billyi
