get the clinton administration part 3. if you feel it was such a crisis and panic at that time as many say it was coming out of the calamitous bush administration into the tar, bringing in a team of rivals as obama talked about, all you had was larry summers and tim geithner. both of them have their control over the policies that led to the crisis. in my mind, that opened the door to the tea party. it opened the door to right-wing populism. people saw in this white house favoritism towards goldman sachs and the banks. the problem was the left populism has not emerged until now. for too long, many felt with the bomb in the white house that things would be sorted out. that is where movements become important. every administration in modern times has had to deal with insurgency's or movements on its left and right. reagan in many ways was a movement president. i say that with contempt for what he did in damage to this country. you need to see the pendulum has now swung. the tea party in many ways has lost a lot of this mojo be

this is not anywhere near on par or a comparable magnitude to the reagan administration, the clinton administration, the bush administration faced in their second terms. that being said this is also an issue that is coming about in a different time period where the media ecology, there is a scandal industrial complex out there. while these are much smaller and nowhere near the magnitude you are in an atmosphere where it is harder to deal with the issues. one thing that does bear stressing, there are other scandals more or less involve the direct conduct or the president or the direct actions of senior white house aides. that is not the case in any of these particular issues. >> as the investigations continue we are recognizing there is a large firewall around president obama and his administration from what has happened with benghazi to the irs to the ap. as we watch today the outgoing irs chief on capitol hill facing really tough questions from both sides. i want to play congressman charlie rangel on the record earlier. >> people are losing confidence in our government and i hope that you feel the

spring of 1995, national labor relations board of which i was chairman in the '90s with the clinton administration intervened it to obtain the of juncture -- injunction then judge sova may your the players returned to the field the owners accepted them and the parties negotiated a comprehensive collective bargaining agreement and there has been peace in baseball and a good deal of prosperity ever since that period. so this book comes from all of these perspectives as the observer and player and someone who has been involved as the arbitrator and government officials. >>host: how we get to the point* where your national liberation's board had to intervene? what occurred at third 1994? >> through then we had what i call on the books of 30 year war resulting principally out of a decision by an arbitrator in 1975 which created free agency for baseball players. many viewers and others will know of the man who was an elks fielder for the st. louis cardinals who brought the antitrust action he lost but but they wind as a result providing for free agency for players, and a series of agreements were entere

military members and a leak could actually cause them harm what's different since the clinton administration and bush administration deplored leaks and wanted to go after many of these started in the bush administration. what's changed is the evidence. this administration has had access to the evidence mostly electronic emails, phone records like with the a.p. issuance of a subpoena. and they have been able to prosecute going forward. ill. >> >> bill: you are saying that the high tech apparatus the justice department now has enables them to ferret out these leakers a lot easier than had been in the past in longer the days of bernstein meeting deep throat at 2:30 in the morning in the parking lot. >> bill: guy recently convicted at fox news recently convicted of a crime from taking information from fox news and giving it to fox haters and they tracked this guy down like that because our security people here are very, tech savvy, that's an interesting thing. >> people think they will use encrypted email which they can't break. that's not good when the united states takes a subpoena, goes to th

what it reminds me of is that something rising one of the first things i heard during the clinton administration, politics is a felt need. it has to actually be felt in the halls of congress. more broadly across the country if there is really good to be a political response. we could talk until we're blue as cabinet secretaries but average people have to speak up about these changeto really have a be made. it is the unfortunate reality that we live in. these impacts are real. they are happening. the question is, will we know enough about them to really make the difference in turning it around? this is no way to run a railroad. it simply is not. >> at least you have homeless people you could point to. it would seem to me epa is even harder. causingstration is everything to slow about whether it is permits or inspections. some things are more apparent than others. the thing that is remarkable to me. no harm -- the matter how much chaos, the public servants are rising to the occasion, even toh the pay is being cut make sure the minimal work is done. that is a remarkable story from this is how they

i worked in the clinton administration, and we had somebody who is a civil servant who never came to work. >> what is going on. in front of the congressional panel lois lerner didn't want to incriminate herself. she is paid by the taxpayer and she can plead the fifth? and in the aftermath she's not let go. she was put on administrative leave because she is part of the union. it drives us crazy. >> i think you can support idea of unionizing and still have it drive you crazy. the argument of not firing her right away, they want to get all of the information and find out what happened, but it sends a message to the american people to the irs. we can't plead the fifth if we are audited. >> wayne, what about the public sector unions, are you okay with those, too? >> i think you have to ask yourself, eric, what good is a union of federal workers? what are they doing? are they abused by the taxpayers? no. unions were formed for purposes of protecting a worker and johnathon is wrong when he said they are all bad. some have done very good work. but in this case, where the taxpayers are paying

i work in the clinton administration and we had somebody who was a civil servant in my area who just never came to work. >> allow me. what's going on. lois learner who pled the fifth in front of a congressional panel saying that she didn't want to incriminate herself. she wants to plead the fifth.nd in the aftermath of that, she is not even let go. she is on leave with pay. this drives us crazy. >> for drives everybody crazy. you can support the idea of unionizing and still have it drive you crazy. in favor of not firing you right away is they want to give you all the information. it's a fundamental message to the american people about the irs. they don't think they are accountable. none of us can plead the fifth if we are audited. >> that are would be great. move on to wayne. what about the public sector unions. you are okay with those? >> i think you have to ask yourself and everybody does. what good is a union of federal worke workers? are they being abuse and they need protection? no. they were formed for the purpose of protecting the worker and they were good and still good. jon

for the 90s, they cut first and they offset by going to the clinton administration and saw time and again, both agreed to that. we have to get the money quickly to the people in oklahoma and our hearts go out to the victims and 23578lys, i want to get them the money. this is an issue of congress and rich got it right. they have to do it right and correctly and be fair. >> senator coburn is consistent even after the awful bombing. he made sure that the funds were offset and he was also against sandy funding because he knew there would be a lot of pork projects in there. he was right. he is consistent. he is consistent. >> this is not the way to get real budget reform. it will have to be a comprehensive reform because it's heartless. he pointed out that the costs are about 200 to $300 million because people have insurance to get out of the fema budget and don't have to do extra funding. in the future, we do need real reform. this is not the vehicle sadly to do it. >> morgan? >> 100% agree with steve and am curious why we are having this discussion. this week after this disaster took place,

under the clinton administration you saw that. and both sides of the aisle agreed to. that yes, we have to get the money to the people in oklahoma and our hearts go out to the victims and i want to get them the money. this is an issue for congress. and rich is right, they have to do it right, and be correct and fair. >> senator coburn is consistent. ine after the awful bombing in oklahoma city. he made sure funs were off cut in the budget. and sandy funding, he anyhow there was a lot of pork projects and so he is consistent. >> he is consistent and this is not the way to get real budget reform. just allows people to portray him as heartless. but the costs are two to throw hundred million because people had insurance and they can get out of the fema budget and do extra funding and allow it to be a pork wagon. in the future, we need reform. this is not the vehicle to do it. >> i 100 percent agree with steve. i am wondering why we are having the conversation. 12 pillion is in the fema fund. when you started adding tape. taxpayers and victims on the ground. historically we

he held hearings alleging that the clinton administration was selling burial plots in arlington nationalery in exchange for campaign contributions. he held hearings alleging that the clinton white house was surreptitiously altering videotapes of fund-raisers in order to hide some sort of wrongdoing that dan burton imagined was happening at the fund-raisers. dan burton suggested at one point that he should hire lip readers to examine those tapes to find the photo-shopping. during his tenure as chairman of the government reform and oversight committee dan burton issued more than 1,000 subpoenas to 141 different clintonites. in one case his investigators even managed to subpoena the wrong man. that one was really embarrassing. his committee was so busy passing out subpoenas like party favors they accidentally subpoenaed the wrong guy by confusing two similar sounding asian names. that was the summer of subpoena. that was 1997. that was how republicans thought they would use control of the house to try to destroy a presidency that they did not like as well as some watermelons. well, now 16 y

. >> president bill clinton -- i'm sorry, i worked in the clinton administration. i have never seen anything like this. bill clinton would not have gotten away with this. >> steven hayes at the "weekly standard" broke stories about the contents of the emails that went out that night. jonathan carl at abc went a little further on friday showing that victoria newlyn, state department spokeswoman, was leading the effort in a way to doctor or to -- to change the talking points that went out. at one point sending an e-mail that said "these changes don't resolve all of my issues or those of my building's leadership. that would point directly toward hillary clinton i guess. >> yes. i think that -- and the fact that it does actually led the "washington post" to write an article that said you see this is political. this is political because the republicans are already trying to knock down the person who's going to be the leading contender as the nominee for 2016 -- this is insane. it's getting to be just insane. >> tyrone watts, one of the former navy s.e.a.l.s killed in ben

that comes up in this book in particular is my involvement as both an arbitrator during the clinton administrationwhen we were involved at that time and one of the greatest strikes in terms of duration and serving as a landmark for the development of a spell as a business in the entire history of the game. this season was shut down. in 90 four this season was shut down beginning in office for the first time since 1904. the world series was canceled and in the spring of 1995, my national labor relations board of which i was chairman in the 90s in the clinton intervened to obtain an injunction. once he got an injunction before then churched out of my order, and now the players returned to the field. the owners except the bad and the parties negotiate a comprehensive and i'd dare say a good deal of prosperity. this comes from is that an observer and a player and someone involved as an arbitrator host or how will the national labor relations board had human being, what occurred at 21994? >> guest: until 1994, we had what i call really resulting principally out of a decision in an arbitrator in 1975, w

bill clinton, every single thing that came up in the clinton administration, this is what they do. they might release a lot of documents too to say look we have released 10,000 documents at the same time they haven't answered the important questions. >> jon: if there are new hearings and there are, congress is going to be starting some new hearings this week. are they going to be taken seriously? are they going to get media attention? >> i would hope. so i would think actually now for whatever reason it has risen to the attention, it has boiled that pot so that people are paying attention. >> why hasn't it taken so long? >> because this issue has become political. and the fact that the death of an american ambassador and other brave americans serving in the field is regarded as something that has become a republican, democratic issue is lamentable and says a great deal about the social media. >> media gets coverage one way or the other. that again is what makes this so exceptional. you have republicans backing on about it. and it's happening. >> it's been delegitimized as a news is

clinton and bush. the press has always complained and the white house has always complained, but how is that different in the obama administrationthe clinton and bush administration. >> when he came to california, which he did 76 times the clinton administration invited us to ride with him and the motorcade went to every fundraising event he did whether it was small or big. he took many questions from reporters. we got access to the guy. the same thing was true of bush. i recall him doing press conferences. we did events with him up and down the state. obama is another animal entirely. you really have to sign your life away to be part of the local pool with obama as you saw with that video. look, we've been using video for a long time as reporters. other people in that audience took out their cellphones and tapes, those demonstrators, but we got really seriously in trouble with the white house for doing that. the fact is that president obama has been out here. he was just here. he's coming out again. he doesn't do public events. mostly fundraisers that's the california aspect of it, but the fact is you don't get a chance to ask
