or the fact that that he brought in trump bill clinton women who accused bill clinton of things and flew them in there. it was and then the access hollywood tape at that moment. you started seeing a real backing off of him. and but even on election night, i think people presumed i did not but people. presumed that trump was going to lose and that they would have made money on them and on the running, but then he would have lost and it would have hurt the republican party, you know a lot of the media world is often the you know, they're looking for what's the shiny new thing and trump's had ups and downs their moments when he's on covers of magazines then sinks. back up, you know and when he first ran he seemed new and he got a lot of coverage free media in 2016. but you know, and i sound like i'm on his side. i don't really care. i just want to know why i mean day after day santa ana msnbc just pounded him. pounded him about russia constantly and in the end, what did we get out of it all yeah, but you know what brian you can't listen to the noise. he did what you can't do. he did went he

bush and bill clinton becoming close. they're consciously becoming close. they're making a larger statement to the public. but jefferson, with expansion, and books on the louisiana purchase, and jefferson as a writer and botanist, jefferson's being a slave owner, and washington, now reading about that, realizing that there needs to be more emphasis to look at slave-owning presidents, and what does that mean. you know, it's a very fertile field, presidential history. but i write on the 20th century. i've never written a book on a president. in fact, brian, in our talk, sometimes people will say to me, boy, you do a lot of different topics, doug, you jump around. it's like, really? i mean, yes, hunter thompson lived with jimmy carter's house. i'm writing the same era of things. i'm not writing about founding fathers. i've been really writing about america in the 20th century, but more specifically america since world war ii. but something like david mccullough will do truman or john addams or jon meacham will write on jefferson and then do bush 41. they're ju

did a big impeachment panel that i sponsored them and there were all so great panels that made bill clinton look good on nato expansion or you know, there was a whole variety, but they kind of honed in on these are anti-clinton impeachment. how did you know that he was upset. he mentioned it to me when i was there a reception for it. like what what's this about the program? he'd seen it in advance and then was a little concerned about it. what did you say to him? i just said they used for the best papers we got and that it's part of your presidential. legacy and it's got to be covered here wouldn't be a real conference. took it. well, he gave a good you know, i mean good speech, but subsequently, we've met it fdr's library. i did an event with him. i sat by a minute event on haiti in california and introduced him in front of a large audience, but i've also visited him in his home in chappaquan talk to him and in on and on so i've gotten to know him. i've met him in his office in harlem before i'm interested in the oklahoma city bombing with bill clinton when he gave the you know, they have

most important documents i got released were the transcripts and summaries of all summits doing bill clintonnd russian president boris yeltsin. clinton and yeltsin had almost a bromance, but it was hard. my initial process failed. it took me almost two years. when i finally succeeded during the summer of 2018 the kremlin complaint, and that got my attention, because i have never had the kremlin complaint before. they said it was not right the clinton library had released these documents, and is justifications was that it covers currently serving politicians. because of that, the kremlin complaint -- complained about the documents being released. i opened documents from the george h.w. bush presidential library. i got documents from five other countries, britain, france, germany, poland, and russia. i documents sent to me from other countries. that is why i ended up having so many pages at the end. host: one thing is clear to readers throughout the narrative is that in each successive set of u.s. leaders and european leaders, ukraine continually came up as a concern and worry, more so than an

there is time to talk just briefly about bill clinton and bill clinton's utopian thinking. bill clinton in 1992, his campaign song was fleetwood mac's "don't stop thinking about tomorrow." yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone, don't stop thinking about tomorrow. bill clinton was a really charismatic figure that is so much about the future is bright. he came from a town called hope, arkansas. he was literally the boy from hope. like the future is bright. in all of his state of the unions, which were always very long, he always would discuss, like, what new technological achievements are happening, what are the tech breakthroughs that are going to make our life and our society better. his policy, he and many people like him dubbed themselves third-way democrats, that -- and this maps onto the old history framework, too, that the democratic party had been the party of, like, the left and critiques of capitalism, supposedly, but just this real, like, that there were only two sides of the culture wars, there were only two sides of the economic wars. the party of johnson and the gr

hunter ripping into bill clinton calling him a nasty word, we're going to show it after bill clinton didn't vote for biden's crime bill. she wasn't in the senate then. hunter biden in emails slamming hillary and bill clinton aides as greedy, petty and venal. there is a lot of backbiting and fighting between democrats. your take? >> well at the time i think that the clinton family was very worried biden would jump into the race. now the clinton family probably wants to jump in the race in 2024. you will see more infighting between the biden family and the clinton family. i can't say i necessarily disagree with hunter on the nature of the clinton family and bill clinton and what have you, goes to show what a political liability hunter is going to be. not only -- [no audio] business dealings, i know we'll get into. at least the clinton foundation masquerade as a charitable organization. not so much whatever hunter biden was making money on. that is the real question here. elizabeth: let's turn to this. you brought that up. okay, so "the daily mail" is reporting this too. emails from hun

to this opportunity, in fact, it can be seen on them. practically step against our country well bill clintonmuch about the truth of your statements. here, with regard to finland, sweden, uh, the total strength of the army of these two states, and a little more than 50,000 people, therefore, with military point of view. and they will increase the members declared it. well, this does not mean some radical change. there is a preponderance towards nato on the other side. this will really mean an increase in tension, because , most likely, the status of non-nuclear status near the baltic sea will be lost, because we will need to somehow fix all this, strengthen the border of the lightland, with the same one that the deployment of military influences. naturally, yes, yes. or some systems are not against it, but no matter how. i just want to say that, well, especially if we have passed from here and we say that in recent years she has already been very, very actively cooperating with us formally, nothing will change for us for the swedes. keep yourself in hand. i hope that's the question and do not

obama and bill clinton, the only president clinton we will ever have, they both suffered grievous lossesthem first midterm election, and snapped back around, moderated a little bit, and won reelection. joe biden showed no signs of his willingness or ability to do that. >> sean: you are right on target, which leads me to governor huckabee from arkansas, you could say a lot of things about bill clinton, but he was a great politician, and after that midterm election, he got walloped, he came back with the era of big government is over, the end of welfare as we know it. prior to that, or after at some point, there was a sister soldier moment that went viral, so he showed an ability to read the public's lack of satisfaction with his job, and he turned, he changed from he shifted, he adjusted. i don't see biden has the capability to do it. i don't think his face would tolerate it. >> sean, there is no education in the second kick of a mule, and there is a problem joe biden has that bill clinton didn't. clinton might get kicked once by the mule but he never let it happen again. joe biden stands

matt mccarty, kindergarten friend of bill clinton, welcome back. chief of staff to president bill clinton and jay carney, former deer chief and press secretary to vice president joe biden and president barack obama. thank you for being with us. lisa down. -- please sit down. [applause] wow, what a panel. thank you for being with us. the only question i have given in advance is to share with the audience the one decision by the president you work for during the time you were in the white house, so i will have you go down the list to give the decision, then we will come back for the back story, so josh, we begin with you, the decision george w. bush made during your time is chief of staff. josh: ok, and thank you for giving us the question in advance. [laughter] it did not require much thought in my case. first of all, thank you to the council for the great work that you do, not just for bringing this kind of thing together, but for the great work you do all the time and inking steve scully fully engaged. -- and keeping steve scully fully engaged. [l

you worked with the clinton with bill clinton in the clinton white house. we're very close and influential on clinton's thinking do you agree with this thesis that the presidency that bill clinton inhabited is very different than the presidency that joe biden now inhabits that if you perhaps have been with clinton and he had this level of power maybe he would have done different things more things additional things. is it is it sort of a wistful moment. wow, we we had this kind of power. we've a lot more. well, yeah, i think it is a different moment. i think the polarization which which appear during the clinton presidency because it appeared let's face it in 1994 when newt gingrich took over the congress. that was really the first indication that politics was going to be very different than it had been and but is still clinton was able to manage some things with with gingrich even though the rhetoric took a definite step up in 1994, and now we're in this situation where the the polarization pervades everything including is martha said, you know whether or

matthew: one of the conclusions i drew is in many ways bill clinton consolidated the reagan legacy, when you think about free trade, welfare reform, balancing the budget, cutting capital gains tax rates. these are long-standing reagan i priorities. it happened under clinton once he has to deal with a republican congress after 1994. why did the right to have such a dislike of clinton? i think it had to do with his personality. so many on the right dislikes clinton's personal behavior, they disliked the slippery way he had with language and the truth, they also disliked his temporizing, trying to be everything to all people. i do think the fixation on clinton's conduct basically let conservatives not to recognize how good they were having it post 1994. if you think of crime, another place where conservatives are making arguments about incarceration and policing, finally those arguments are put into place during the clinton era and have tremendous results. i choke in the book, the conservatives enjoyed successes under clinton and never forgive him. susan: also during that period, the reemer

i was surprised he won because in order to unseat a one term president, you have to be bill clinton, have to beat barack obama, you have to beat george w. bush, george w bush didn't have time to rebound from his numbers so he left after second term and went to a shed and started painting beautiful portraits. that's what people should do. they should reflect. [inaudible] kennedy: because of bill clinton's transformational ability and he was young and crazy and a political animal. the 90s were awesome. joe biden, i want to talk with you more on this so maybe we will do a podcast because you and i talk about this, there are areas where you and i are not far apart and i think you could make that interesting. olivia, if people are so mad at republicans and democrats and don't want to be terrorists by white men, why aren't libertarians offering political solutions? >> i think the libertarian does have some issues and a lot of issues but overall the best choice between all three parties, there's a two-party duopoly, people would disagree but what's really holding them back is no fault of th

continues now on american history tv political scandals marred the clinton years culminating during bill clinton's second term with his impeachment and senate acquittal hillary clinton was asked in 1994 about the couple's credibility during what came to be known as the pink suit press conference recent news reports about the first lady's cattle futured earnings and with all these whitewater allegations many of us americans are having a hard time with your credibility. how can you earn our trust back? is there a fundamental distrust of the clintons in america? well, i hope not. i mean that would be something that i would regret very much. i do think that. we are. transition figures if you will we don't fit easily into a lot of our pre-existing categories, and i think that having been independent having made decisions. it's a little difficult for us as a country. maybe to make the transition of having a woman like many of the women in this room. sitting in this house. so i think that the standards and to some extent to some extent the expectations and the demands. have changed and i'm trying to find

of thin you couldgs say a lot of things about bill clinton, but he was a great politician and after that midterm electionhat and he got walloped, he came back withd the era of big o government is over the end of welfare as we know it prior to that or afterre at some point there was a sister souljah moment that went viral. so he showed an ability tobl read the public lack ofic satisfaction with his with his job and he turned he changedad shifted it just that i don't see that biden has the capabilityhe to do it. i don't think his base would tolerate it. there's no education in theca second kick of a mule and there's a problem that joe biden has that bill clinton didn't. clinton might get kicked once by the mule . happ he never let it happen again.hee joe biden stands there and getse kicked over and over and doesn't realize he's been kicked in the head by the mulede and that's his problem. youer were talking a moment ago and i burst, out laughing. i'm glad i was on air and the mic wasn't hot because it might have been a little biten troubling. but you were a saying you invite jen psaki to c

bill clinton lost many. obama lost -- donald trump latest 43 in 2018. 21% approval, the president is at 33% approval, if those are the numbers, there is no reason we will not see the same red tsunami we saw under obama and senate is only 50/50 right now. that could flip to the gop. what will happen? you would see democrats run against joe biden, if he runs. that is how unproper this president is. >> carley: democratic strategists not optimistic about the midterm. "new york times" reached out to one strategist who responded by saying are you calling to ask me about our impending doom? that is an issue quote. a lot of democrats are ark wear of what could happen in the midst terms and they are trying to workshop how to prevent that from happening. joe, is there anything that can be done to possibly make this situation better for democrats come november? >> joey: wow, carley, i saw that quote and i was like, that is sophomore year for me, every time a girl i was dating, are you calling to talk about our impendin

in one email between the three, eric schwerin shares a video of bill clinton clashing with black lives4 crime bill saying then senator joe biden is the one who pushed for tougher sentencings guidelines. hunter biden responded to the video clip writing, quoting here: what an a-hole and god he looks like the s word. but it gets more hypocritical. emails show hunter biden also ripped the clinton's inner circle including long-time clinton confidante and aid yuma an dean. biden told them greedy for taking government salaries while working in the private sector quoting here are you f'ing kidding me? how greedy can you possibly be? he went on to call it quote, petty, greedy, venal, low rent b.s. though we should note this all came to light because of the federal investigation into hunter biden's questionable foreign business dealings. here's kentucky congressman james comer, watch. >> i'm not a big fan of special counsels but in situation, the evidence continues to mount that not only is hunter biden unethical and not only is hunter biden broken many laws but also that joe biden could, in fac
