administration you know people would say oh well bill clinton is cutting the military budget and he's closing military bases and he's cutting the training budgets well that was partly true what he was actually doing was supporting a pretty radical privatization agenda you know we talk about dick cheney and have running how laverton in the one nine hundred ninety s. and everyone on the left talks about all those dick cheney halliburton there's insider stuff we think gave dick cheney all those contracts when he was running however it was the clinton administration so you know this is a bipartisan game very much so tom you know i'm curious jeremy what quite your interest with regard to black his blackwater and erik prince what led you to write that book. well you know i started going to iraq in the one nine hundred ninety s. and really cut my teeth as a reporter working for democracy now and writing for common dreams and counterpunch and other independent websites and not getting paid for any of it but i was i was in iraq for a lot of the ninety's all the way into the early two thousand

anyway, apparently president clinton saw the documentary and saw the poster. that's supposed to be me here with the long nose. they said, hey, i have a long nose. invite that dude to the white house. so, wow, i got invited in 1996 to the white house. damn. hey, born in l.a., don't steal nothing. [laughter] so i see president, i see president kennedy, he could have been a tight end for the university of arkansas. he came in with a great big smeal, and i didn't see monica lewinsky anywhere, but he had a smile on his face. [laughter] so, you know, i had to tell him, and this is the serious part. we're getting down to what hector asked me. i had to tell him in 1996, my president. i thought i was a -- [speaking spanish] i guess. but, you know, my president, we have the dubious distinction of leading the nation in high school dropouts, college dropouts and teen pregnancies. you know, if today, 2011, president obama would invite me to the white house, i would have to tell him exactly the same thing, the same litany, you know? and proof of that, okay, it's time. i've

clinton v. of course, later morphed with the white we're inquiry in ways that surprised everybody at the time, but they eventually became, in some ways, one and the same case. a very prominent washington attorney became, eventually, the warrior for monica lewinsky. he helped to negotiate her immunity deal with the office of independent counsel that was critical to the case ken starr was building. one of the important prosecutors in ken starr's office was, is down here at the end, saul wiesen berg. he was deputy independent counsel under ken starr, and he was a principle prosecutor in the monica lewinsky investigation, one of the lawyers who questioned president clinton in his grand jury testimony. we were going to have somebody with a critical perspective to offer, lou moretti, who was the former director of the secret service during the clinton administration who gave some fascinating testimony to, to our author here for ken's book, had a number of interesting revelations. he was going to join

obama, clinton and obama are the highlighters 13 to 15% effectively. but you put your predictor hat on looking ahead with that now be the bar for presidents in terms of cabinet members? >> guest: not necessarily, but i think that obama has a much higher number of african-americans percentage wise than clinton did. it's higher. but it's not that much higher, one other interesting part of this is, just to address your question we really don't know if those numbers will change very much. certainly that is all depending on how the next campaign is conducted, but it's interesting that one thing that the obama's for sensitive to is this idea of the role model and that's something i talked about in the book. the obama's do feel that they are role models particularly for young african-americans, and a lot of what michelle obama, the first lady has done, there is a pattern in the history the first ladies have a very important on the issues, racial issues with the president both positively and negatively, but michelle obama has done a lot to expose the country t

obama administration was probably afraid of having part of its legacy be like that of president clinton's that rwanda was happening and you failed to stop it so i think on the one hand libya was a convenient way to show that the u.s. was taking action in the middle east in the midst of all these uprisings on the flip side of it you have tremendous repression going on in yemen you have the u.s. support for the corrupt monarchy in saudi arabia you see protests today in jordan you see syria also increasingly descending into bloodshed and hillary clinton praising bashar al assad recently as a reformer secretary of defense gates saying that the united states didn't want to comment on the internal affairs of yemen despite the fact that there were fifty more than fifty protesters shot dead the day before the u.s. started bombing libya so you do have what appears to be a contradiction but i would say tom that i. actually u.s. policy is is very consistent they are backing up their people despite the fact the repressive dictators and then they're going after moammar gadhafi because he's the low han

clinton to help pay back their loan. if that was true, that would have been a federal crime, a false statement to a government agency. most civil felt there was a factual basis for janet reno to ask for -- to appoint an independent counsel. while the initial the cry for the appointment of an independent counsel came from republican senators, there were also several democratic senators who enjoyed and the request that there be an independent counsel. president clinton asked for the appointment of an independent counsel. the original point was very justified. >> people this think that ken starr was an irresponsible prosecutor, or lost his sense of proportion, if a professional prosecutor like robert fiske was in there, this would never have been pursued. the more think of this case from a controversy about real-estate and political influence to investigation of what president clinton did or did not do and whether he testified truthfully about monica lewinsky. would you have stopped this case from morphing from a real- esta

. >> host: you will get even contemporary presidents, democratic presidents, carter, clinton come from the south and while both of them would seem to be progress if i was intrigued by your comment that thurgood marshall made about jimmy carter when you said his heart is in the right place and that's about all. >> guest: that's about all i could say. exactly. it's interesting that our friends recently, president carter, president clinton, we classify president bush, the father, was a congressman from texas also his roots were in maine and up north. president bush, the son of course you lived in texas for a much longer time, but a lot of the presidents from the south had experienced directly with african-americans around them which a lot of the northern president did not. lyndon johnson also had experience with african-americans around him. the presidents from the north many times some of them are considered laconic presidents in some ways like president kennedy had virtually no experience with african-americans his whole life and was not interested in the civil rights issue and it's onl

i don't know whether clinton vs. starr is responsible for that, but it's that bitter political fight reflected in what's going on ever since. >> greg, what do you make? >> i think one direct consequence was that congress, when the indent counsel statute expired did not renew it, and in my lifetime there's ever beginning to be another independent counsel statute which i think is probably healthy for the republic. i also agree with bob that the intensity that began in the early days of the clinton administration in terms of political combat which was unusually intense i think in the 1993 to 1997 or 1998 era has continued, and the stakes have gotten higher even though, you know, i think probably the bush vs. gore litigation in the supreme court didn't help, made it worse, other things contributed to it, but certainly in my lifetime there's always been partisan debate and disputes with the ability to work out o common resolution at the end of the day. that was not possible during the clinton impeachments. you had to have

when president clinton came into office after bush the elder, president clinton of course was not accustomed having servants were people on a house with static he'd never had that kind come at some of that in arkansas as governor but nothing like a wealthy american would have, which president bush's were. so they did know how to do with the household staff. hillary and bill clinton. so they were wondering why are these staffers here at night? are they spying on us? what's this all about? and didn't realize the household staff had duties post it if they thought they were spying things might have turned a different. >> guest: looking back on you could see people not accustomed to having staff at your elbow were wondering will i have any time to myself. and i think that was the nature of the. time with on the staff came to like and respect the clintons but initially it was somewhat a difficult experience. one other quick point about this. president obama when he came into office of course wasn't accustomed to having servants either. and a member of the household staff to the african-american st

barbara bush or hillary clinton? hillary clinton dismiss this and said i am too busy to bake cookies. but mrs. bush said she thought the whole thing was forgotten. but then in a taste test people like hillary clinton's cookies better and barbara bush said that is interesting because that is not my recipe. i mention that because even though it seems like it is silly, it garnered all of us had been some serious comments from reporters and columnists she gave a barrel since the jet the republican national convention with the most dedicated man that she knew after that she took to the campaign trail. she gave 61 formal speeches but was busy with the phone bank and cheering on volunteers and involved with the bush rally in texas and said to people we need to george bush texas and as you although the country did not agree and on that particular tuesday in november they sent george bush back to texas and left barbara bush with a very sour taste in her mouth. she felt the country had not given him a chance and he had earned

you mentioned the reagans, the bushes, as opposed to, let's say, the clintons?> guest: well, i think it's more being accustomed to dealing with household staff with -- is one thing. the other is this idea of not making decisions based upon race. some of the people, the african-americans who have served in the white house, were reluctant to be pigeon holed as african-americans because they felt that they didn't want to just have that as their only portfolio. that was a case where one of president eisenhower's advisers, frederick murrow, who felt that even though he was the only african-american on the white house staff, he didn't feel like he wanted to give advice to the president on racial issues and, of course, at that time president eisenhower sent troops into the south and so on so desegregate schools and enforce the supreme court orders. but it was a self-limiting factor there because the feeling was that even though, perhaps, president eisenhower could have benefited from an insight from an african-american adviser, the adviser felt he didn't want to just b

yes, bill clinton was the president there. but as this house knows, this house is very aware that budgets originate in the house of representatives. so republicans were leading the house of representatives, pulling that budget together. we are proposing a similar thing again. that a republican house can propose a budget, send it to a democrat president, we work together to start balancing the budget again. so that formula that we just discussed i believe is a very good formula and we should initiate that again and say once again a republican house do a great budget, send it over to a democrat president and work your way through it. i would disagree with the cuts in defense. i think it is a very common statement that we can say there are issues with defense systems. there are issues with the acquisition process and defense. we should then take our defense and where we find savings, then move it over to deficit reductions. our dish represent an area around an air force -- i represent an area around an air force base. those plane

hillary rodham was on the cover of "life" magazine in 1969 before she ever met bill clinton.he believes her life has been touched by an arc of destiny and i believe that will push her into the race if there's an opportunity. >> i take her at her word. i think she's exhausted. she's been exhilarated by this job. i think she's going to leave the job of secretary of state. maybe after a couple of years doing things at the clinton foundation she'll decide it's time to get in. chris: should she run? >> no. no. chris: should she run? >> i'm with gloria, i don't think she should. remember that her positive ratings are so high right now is that because she's not seen out there in the partisan fray. chris: one she's destined to run. two should nots. >> i'd like to see her to run, not just complicating the democratic field. but if the issue is foreign policy, where the president is sometimes seen out of his depth, she has established a tremendous reputation. chris: two say she should run. where are you? >> i think she shouldn't run. i think she may decide she will. i say quit why you'r

well i think there is no new doctrine we have had this line taking place since bill clinton was in office and bush continued it and bush lied his way on iraq so blatantly that it caught people off the united states for a long time obama is now carrying on in the same way and trying to win public opinion back to the idea of western wars of intervention cloaked in humanitarian. logic i don't accept the fact that this is a war in good faith i think this is an opportunist war fought in order to give the west an initiative in a part of the world where they had already lost it and i think i did. now for a short break we'll continue our discussion on obama's nobel prize stage with r.t. . twenty years ago in the largest country. to. get to germany. where did it take to. disarm saddam hussein. passed charge of iraqi citizens. this event brings further assurance that the torture chambers and the secret police are gone forever. tries again over our embassy in kabul. cherish too much occupied afghanistan. and now occupy sales at guantanamo bay. day it is appropriate today in court as which is speakin

libya right now. >> she talked to him about the clinton goebl initiative. that's coming up. >>> and we have a big announcement this morning about "gma" and lady gaga this morning. >>> let's get to the serious news of the morning. the latest with southwest airlines. the airline said they found more cracks in the planes. on friday, a 5-foot hole opened up in the ceiling of a 737. lisa stark has the latest. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, elizabeth. southwest says they found cracks in three additional planes. there are more inspections to go. the airline will scrutinize some of the older 737s. all this after the terrifying moments on the flight from phoenix to sacramento. this is the part of the plane that broke apart. it's headed to washington, d.c. for microscopic analysis. they have found fatigue cracks all along the section that broke apart. >> we have clear evidence that the skin separated at the lower rivet line. >> reporter: the question, why weren't the cracks found in previous inspections? there were no intensive inspections required on this

the last five clinton budgets were in surplus or in balance. but because of tax cuts for the rich, two unpaid-for wars, and prescription drug bill that gave away the store to the pharmaceutical industry, we came back into deficit, the biggest swing in fiscal irresponsibility in our country's history, and now we have had to deal with that. and what is the answer that the bush administration gave us? tax cuts for the rich, that's how you create jobs. we didn't. that's how you reduce the deficit. we grew it. i think it's important when we are talking about the deficit, which we all agree must be cut, and we are talking about jobs, to note that in the first year of the obama administration more jobs were created in the private sector than in the eight years of the bush administration. tax cuts for the rich did not produce jobs. cuts in initiatives to educate our people and keep us healthy and safe, those cuts did not create jobs. so here we are today at the en of the week wasting the public's time on a notion, not even an idea, on a notion that doe

his standoff with bill clinton is shut it down back in 1995. bill clinton looks like a big figure. newt gingrich looked small. bill clinton was in the middle of his second term. this will probably be my answer for all of them. there is a win-lose proposition here. tavis: democrats, what do they have at stake here? >> this is about president obama and his brand. he got elected in part by his ability to make washington work again. to be a big enough figure to heal these divides. if congress shut down, he runs the risk of having that tarnished. if you go back to the 1995 example, he is still at the bowling pulled a. if he wants to talk about where republicans shut down the coverage, -- and the government, it will get coverage. republicans are even a little bit more nervous than democrats at the moment. tavis: let me play devil's advocate. the president may not want the government to shut down. the flip side is, if government does shut down, he will rail about how republicans are out of control and his grande may not be tarnished, but shine brighter? >> in some ways, if the president g

was it barbara bush or was it hillary clinton? and hillary clinton sort of dismissed this and said, i'm too busy to bake cookies, you know, let's get about this and mrs. bush said she thought the whole thing was forgotten. and a few minutes later the same magazine ran a story saying that in a taste test people liked hillary clinton's cookies better and barbara bush said that's really interesting because that's not my recipe. well, i mention it because even though it seems like a silly thing perhaps, it garnered all of a sudden some very serious comment from reporters and columnists. and this also gave mrs. bush a certain amount of growing disease with what she developing here. she gave a very much heralded speech at the republican national convention. she talked about her husband as the most dedicated healthiest man she knew. she brought out her family and then after that, she took to the campaign trail. during that campaign, she gave 61 formal speeches but she was busy with phone banks and she was cheering on volunteers. she was

and he did make war in kosovo but that war was seen as a no other humanitarian intervention but clinton has probably done more for peace than any. president jimmy carter really carter you bring out jimmy carter of peace prize ok but i mean if i go to john places or more feet from john if i go you ok go ahead go ahead go ahead and clinton deserve the peace prize this guy impose sanctions maintain signed consent iraq madeline albright his secretary of state defended the killing of for at least a million iraq because of sanctions saying it was necessary imposed a no war so not only iraq destroyed virtually everything so softening the country for bush and cheney to take away he deserved the peace prize give us a break ok don what about what about former politicians foreign policy look at jimmy carter because jimmy carter if i were a lot of people criticize him for some of his thoughts in spread his presidency but he i think it's fair to say that even his detractors while he was president say he's done good he's done the best job of former president could ever do for peace and helping. just

you know, that's -- >> charlie: where was secretary clinton. >> clinton is pretty well known, was calling for intervention. >> charlie: from the beginning. >> from early on. but what happened was, there was a lot of confusion about, remember everyone was calling for a no fly zone, right. so i was with them on tse trips. she was going and meeting with her counterparts around the world trying to figure out who was in the fly zone and who wasn't and what it actually meant. what she told me is she would go into these meetings especially with arab leaders and she says gates tells me the first you go into a fly zone is to bomb libya, bomb their air defenses. we don't want america bopping in another easte country. thesa little period where the united states wasn't doing anything. there was a period of diplomacy going on in educating other actors about what intervention would mean and what kind of intervention was necessary to help the situation. >> so if you're defining obama's foreign policy today, there is this expression that comes out of your article leading from behind. >> yes. >> you hear

these are the residents on clinton park. not only do they cover 80% of the lot, these take out the rest. this is a light well in the court. in working out our typical floor plans, we made a big effort not only to have it but 35 feet to the existing pattern but also to cut out this notch for our neighbors on clinton parks giving them a backyard that they will have. on all of the other light wells, we respected them by setting our buildings back at least 5 feet. in dealing with the facade, we started walking around and he liked the public interaction. in san francisco, we have many of our own precedents. our victorians are usually set back with stoops and stairs going back up. the majority of these buildings have been replaced by parking. this is a nice precedent that exists in san francisco. we chose to build upon at as our building. we have set back the front 6 feet. we can have units that the street. we can improve the sidewalk. we have an encroachment permit to build on that. the articulation, this is showing movers. we wa

i saw a wonderful story that you did on hillary clinton.she has made this part of her foreign policy. i spent a few weeks traveling with her around the country, around the world in fact, for a special i did with her. she was engaging country after country after country. she has to be a woman. what role and responsibility to we have given that we are in afghanistan, specifically, to press for these roles, these pathways to be open for women? >> i was there in july of last summer. what was fascinating about that is that women have no right to speak. it was secretary clinton lobbying the government and the international community to make sure that women had the right to speak at the last -- at their own conference last summer. what she has done in terms of the civil society posturing, really giving groups that fight for democracy, a child marriage, women's advocacy, is a voice within the u.s. state department and giving them the support, training, access to feel that they would not have without department funding. the men congregate towards he

street firms are capable of are using their connections like we see with clinton family friend lanny davis who was of course bill clinton's lawyer during his impeachment hearings as i mentioned the peace using his connections with now secretary of state hillary clinton to sort of make over to tutor over who is of course denounced as one of the most repressive. dictators or authoritarian leaders in africa you know lenny davis actually quipped to him that i've kidded to him he'd do better to win by fifty one percent than ninety eight percent ok but you know let's let's be serious here you know on a deeper level which is that what would this be affective without us interests at play for example whatever tauriel guinea they have oil the u.s. benefits something country like saudi arabia major geo strategic interest for the united states to counter iran and for other reasons so if there isn't a vested interest for the us does this work does that need to be there you know i think vested interest is an interesting term because there are so many different strategic interests for the united st

except for we really don't want to put troops on the ground ok and that like to point out hillary clinton says well we're not going to intervene into syria yet go ahead toddy. well i think there is no new doctrine we have had this lying taking place since bill clinton was in office bush continued it and bush lied his way on iraq so blatantly that it put people off the united states for a long trying obama is now carrying on in the same way and trying to win public opinion back to the idea of western wars of intervention cloaked in humanitarian. logic i don't accept the fact that this is a war in good faith i think this is an opportunist war fought in order to give the west and initiative in a part of the world where they had already lost it and i think all right let me jump in right now for a short break we'll continue our discussion on obama's nobel prize stage with r.t. . if you can. remind you the latest in science and technology from around the world. we've got the future covered. more news today violence is once again flared up look. these are the images the world has been seeing fro

secretary clinton and other top members of the administration were briefing members of congress in a secret briefing i didn't attend it because i think those briefings aren't secret as you read about in the paper. and didn't tell the members in that briefing about this covert order that had been signed and what's even more interesting is that the signing of the clover order tends to coincide with the movement of a new opposition leader a new rebel leader in live in libya who came from a suburb of virginia. and his neighbors who's seen him around for twenty years didn't really understand what the man did for a living and it turns out he's now the leader a military leader of the libyan rebels so jesus is there any more than meets the eye starting to sound like that. guy from iraq forgetting his name oh this is a curveball well even before the guy who was taken three hundred thousand dollars a month and we install it in for a short while and in any case yeah it's your purpose for that. i'm curious. bosnia is being invoked more and more for example people calling my radio show you know w

really don't want to put troops on the ground ok and i'd like to point out every one of the panel clinton says well we're not going to intervene into syria yet go ahead toddy. well i think there is no new doctrine we have had this line taking place since bill clinton was in office bush continued it and bush lied his way on iraq so blatantly that it put people off the united states for a long time obama is carrying on in the same way and trying to win public opinion back to the idea of western wars of intervention cloaked in humanitarian. logic i don't accept the fact that this is a war in good faith i think this is an opportunist war fought in order to give the western initiative in a part of the world where they had already lost it and i think right. now after a short break we'll continue our discussion on obama's nobel prize stage with our team. if you can. years ago this country. began to. where did it take the. wealthy british. it's time to. go back. to the. market and. find out what's really happening to the global economy for no one who's barred look at the global financial headline

stopped this thing in their tracks without a single republican vote clinton raised the tax on the top on the top one percent by three percentage points and brought us a balanced budget and a surplus but bush jr put it back on steroids that obama has inherited and by the way has extended the bush tax cut which i think is insane but you know he was he was in a box i think he's going to change this and frankly it's time to roll back the reagan tax cuts and get us back to the kind of fiscal sanity it will bring this country back to where it's working. it's time for our daily poll your chance to tell us what you think here's the question by the report shows the four hundred richest in america are taxed at an average of sixteen percent while the rest of us pay up to thirty five percent will this continue. possible answers a yes every c.e.o. pay increase dramatically and they have a budget for a lobbyist a pride congress of course they won't pay taxes or be no president obama has announced that those making over a quarter million dollars a year will be taxed and it will be in the next budget
