in each case the clinton administration focus more on roads towards the united states rather than to the danger of the of people. saddam hussein was a rogue lid because he pursued nuclear weaponry and had invaded kuwait. he was not a rogue because he gassed kurds and massacred shia. tony lake, clinton's national security advisor, sought to define the concept we've been together all the parallel definitions when he used the term backlash states, the concept was the same. their behavior is often aggressive and defiant, the ties between them are growing as they seek to quarantine themselves from a global trend to which they seem incapable of adopting, he wrote. they are ruled by cleats that control power through coercion, suppress basic human rights and promote radical ideologies. most important for the purpose of this diplomats, these nations exhibit a chronic inability to engage constructively with the outside world and they do not function effectively in alliances. even with those like-minded. in 1997, secretary of state madeleine albright argued that the with rogue states is one of

investigation services in fact event really agency that was privatized by the clinton administration in one thousand nine hundred six so historically there's been a system in place private checks and done routinely on some nick two point three million people a year because every time you get a background check it is to be renewed after every few years or so so this is an enormous amount of work and for some reason the clinton administration said it would save money by privatizing it and so they sewed into the colorado group of five hundred twenty five million dollars in one thousand nine hundred six and the last fifteen years or so this is been standard practice now when this is done by a company put profit of course since the given profits based on the number of investigations they do the more investigations that do they do the faster they do it the more profit they make and so what you had that in fact even though u.s. assets is a small group of people and ince points in a different direction there's been several lawsuits particularly in california of individuals who work for us i

i think the record of the clinton administration belies all of that. 23.5 million jobs and income is going up. crime is going down. 8 million people move from welfare to work. the best environmental record since teddy roosevelt. the idea of the new democrats is not abandoned democratic principles but to make sure we can further them. you have to further them with new ideas. the candidates in 2016 are going to have to have a new version, a new set of ideas. the basic principles is a core regressive democratic value. the idea that people have a responsibility to take advantage of that opportunity and to give something back to the commonwealth is a core democratic value. and a lot of so-called progressives like to ignore this. criticalvernment is a liberal value. , part of thebook intellectual roots of our movement came from franklin roosevelt avenue from senator ed muskie. he did a speech at the liberal party in new york where he said that efficient government is not an abandonment of liberal goals because ifal to them government is the vehicle that progressive want to use to achieve b

the chief investigator for bill clinton's presidency, matt bennett worked in the clinton administrationt me start with you, you did a movie with hillary clinton claiming this is what he's about, as i said last night, in mrs. clinton's defense, if this is true, wouldn't you keep a list if people who you backed for office then turned around and refused to back you? what's wrong with having a list of -- these are the ones i like, and these are the ones i don't. >> you know, megan, it's interesting. politicians do that all the time. but it's really the pattern of lists. the clintons like to keep lists, back in the '90s during the clinton administration, when they were in power, they kept lists, sometimes they came into power with lists, like the travel office, they fired everyone in the travel office, and actually criminally indicted some of them, and they were found not guilty, these people use nixonian tactics throughout their career, this is just politics. a lot of democrats are claiming -- i don't understand why i'm on the list, but lists are perfectly understandable in this town. >> on

i was thinking during the clinton administration and this administration ray lahood went over to transportationbut gates had a reputation at not such a partisan, more a low-profile, get the job done, nuts and bolts serious kind of guy. this isn't necessarily seen as partisan, but when you look at the fact that this is being released during the sitting administration that is being criticized, well, that is gathering a lot of attention, del. >> mike thank you very much. >> okay. >>> an investigation is underway into that deadly u.s. military helicopter crash in the united kingd kingdom. four u.s. air force members were killed when the helicopter went down. it is not clear yet what caused that accident. >>> the polar vortex continuing its icy grip on the nation again today. even the deep south saw sub-freezing conditions. erika pitzi reports. >> reporter: the arctic air may be easing slightly, but that is little relief for nearly 190 million americans suffering through it, especially those who need to be outside. >> just wore a lot of layers, good shoes, and just trying to stay warm. >> reporter:

he did that in the clinton administration in the second term of president clinton's administration and thought that was a good way to leave president clinton's mark on history. i think he might be trying to do the same thing in this administration and trying to fire up the base specifically with environmental actions, climate actions that may be coming from this white house and the epa specifically. also this income inequality. we'll likely see a lot of that, gretchen, in the state of the union address. >> it's interesting. democrats rely a lot on the government, a bigger government. if you take a look at this gallup poll that just came out, overwhelmingly two-third of the american people now, they are dissatisfied with u.s. government. so how do you overcome that if you're president obama? >> that's the challenge. he has to tiptoe through the tulips here. there are many people who after the nsa situation, after the rollout of obama care have a distrust the government can do big things. so in his talking about this, it has to be targeted in order to hit that base just right. >> bret ba

george bush was president and never focused on california the way that the clinton administration did. remember how people complained how slow the government was to respond to katrina. they didn't complain in california. >> six days i got money sent to me. >> fema had a shop open in every corner. it's like they couldn't wait to help. couldn't wait to get the money in people's hands. >> reporter: people in the bay area could not blame the state and federal government for low work. here people fought over where and how the freeways should be rebuilt. fought over administrative issues, there were no such fights in san francisco. >> there was no one that said let's not do the repair work. >> reporter: this los angeles completely healed, there are some still vacant lots in north ridge. but clearly three years after the north ridge quake, los angeles has come farther than the bay area has in seven. >> still to come on a second look, the damage the north ridge quake did to the southern california freeway system and the remarkably short time it took to fix it. >> and did california's commissi

in competitive states. >> i want to shift gears, speaking of democrats, you work for the clinton administration, claire mccaskill has reportedly appeared on president clinton's so-called enemy list, the reason that she doesn't like claire mccaskill, because way back in 1976 she had appeared on "meet the press." the clintons had been good to her before, she was asked if bill clinton was a great president and she said this. >> do you think bill clinton was a great president? >> i do, i had a lot of problems with his personal issues, i said at the time i think he has been a great leader, but i don't want my daughter anywhere near him. >> so she was asked yesterday about rand paul's comments that if hillary run, bill's prior indiscretions may become fodder for the election in one way or another. and here is her reaction. >> do you think bill clinton's behavior as bad as it was and the impeachment process should be an impediment to hillary clinton running for office? >> i think i can speak for most women that the conduct was infuriating. >> she doesn't want her daughter in the same room as bill clin

>> i had a chance in the clinton administration to oversee head start and focus on the programs for low income people. i would say the improvement in nutrition, the ability to reach children with healthcare are extraordinarily important, but for children which is what i know best, the overall poverty levels remain bright anyoning in 22% to 21%, that's the low wage labor market. it's the ways in which the economy and low-wage jobs are failing us and our public investment is getting us part of the way there. but there is a huge amount less to do. >> professor, same question. >> well, i think that we're doing okay now. the trick is we have to keep score correctly. all the programs that you mentioned other than social security aren't counted in our official poverty measure. but if you take accounting of the snap or food stamps, they're helping families who are facing an economy which is generating part-time service sector jobs. you have to look at the package, the refundable tax credits which were brought on in 1975, food stamps and earnings. so olivia is right. i think two things change. f

interesting observances that i had of this process, the prevention process, we were asked in the clinton administration, to look at opportunities as well, there was often a real disjuncture between where they appeared analytically to be opportunities to where there was political pressure, a push to engage, the latter tended to talk to the former so you would not necessarily get the greatest engagement in those crises that looked as if they had the most opportunity for effective prevention. so this is a really complicated stuff and it is not all about what makes sense analytically. the politics of this is very substantial -- substantially driving these outcomes. >> that is why this atrocity prevention board is supposed to recognize that. even though this is not on the headlines it is coming down the road so you need to think about how to deal with that ahead of time but the bigger point is in this, 24 hours a day, those policymakers are dealing with what is on their plate that day and it is hard to come up with additional hours to focus on what may be on their plate three years from now. >> it is a grea

given where the democratic party is today, you were in a clinton administration, you've worked for two presidents that are arguably more pro free trade than where the democratic party itself is. is that a fair statement? >> well, look, i think that there's always, you know, issues on trade, and it has different partners. you know, it's funny, the president is going to north carolina today. you know, mike furman and i met with the leadership from siemens. they're in north carolina. they had a clear message for us, that the types of things the president's doing makes it more likely they'll make states like north carolina an export hubs to create jobs. when people start looking at the actual job impact, i think we'll get more support for some of the type of agreements, particularly where we're having a higher focus on making sure it protects labor, protects jobs, protects environmental standards. >> but it's an uphill battle? it's san uphill battle, though, isn't it? >> it's always difficult, but it oflten gets done. and the key then, people understand it's part of a pro-growth jobs agend

winnipeg has not lost a a game under their new coach since the clinton administration. but there was no offense midway through the third period until justin braun flipped it back in the net. joe pavelski. sharks win 1-0. alex stalock gets his second straight shut- out. >> is that big joe or little joe? >> little joe pavelski. it was not long ago, steph curry's claim to fame was his chronically injured ankles. now he becomes the first warrior since al gore invented the internet to go to the all- star games. he gets more votes than any player in the western conference and mark jackson is not surprised. >> you see how popular he is. >> yes, especially when the fans push us out of the way and try to get to steph. it is a humbling experience.

by the clinton administration.here was a woman involved in that process for the clinton administration. we have a report from the man who investigated that and he said he had not even questioned sylvia about why those leases failed to include the price control thresholds which my democratic friends have pointed out in prior earrings cost this nation's billions and billions of dollars. then she ends up going to work for british petroleum and so when i ask of a prior hearing, have you talked to sylvia about why she left out those price languages in the leases, she went to work for british petroleum, so she's not in our grasp. this administration under secretary salazar hired her back. i noted from your report that you talked to her on july 18 of 2012, so i am asking you, have you or someone finally talked to invia about her duplicity leaving out price threshold language that made oems and billions of dollars for big oil, then going to work for big oil and now coming back to work with the obama administration? do you

he served as the clinton administration's chief counselor of privacy from 1999 to 2001. now, gentlemen, how did -- did you have any particular way you wish to proceed? >> after consultation with your staff, we have a very brief opening statement if that's agreeable to you, mr. chairman. well, notwithstanding our diversity which you just signaled, we began this process with great admiration and gratitude for the intelligence community and we'd like to start by honoring their extraordinary work in keeping the nation safe. the risks associated with terrorism and associated threats are real and one of our main goals has been to suggest reform that is are compatible with combatting those risks. after extensive discussions and consultations during the last months, the gratitude and admiration that we had for the intelligence community has only increased as a result of interacting with them. we found the highest levels of professionalism. we found no evidence of political or religious targeting or targeting because of people because of political dissent. the focus genuinely has

cuomo, a centrist democrat who served in the clinton administration, is campaigning on a 2 billion-dollar cut to state taxes this year. the plan conflicts directly with cuomo's plan. democrat against democrat in the latest example of the growing split between obama progresses and clinton centrist. these dueling universal pre-k plans will now be settled by the new york legislature. which has the ultimate say in passing laws to create universal prekindergarten education and how to pay for it. >> you will win if the mayor and the governor battle it out in the new york legislature over universal pre-k? mort. >> not even close. the governor is going to win hands-down. he put the mayor in a corner. he has the ability to put this pro- -- plant across the state. not just in new york. not without any taxes. he has two big giant steps ahead of the mayor. and says, look, i was elected on this platform. and was certainly elected by huge margin. there is no way he will get the tax increase he wants to the state legislature, which he must get without the governor's support. this is a game over situatio

the clinton administration. one of the things we heard from business is we create jobs when there's enough demand. when consumers have money in their pockets, when you have a growing middle class. that's the issue, how to get money in the hands -- >> i think we can agree on that part. >> the question is how to do that. >> here's an answer of how to do that. the president's second term agenda. just take a look at some of this. investing in advanced manufacturing, some of which you talked about today to create those good paying manufacturing jobs that create the demand in the economy. reforming education so that kids graduate from high school prepared for the high-tech economy. raising the minimum wage, which is secretary just talked about. we know there are jobs out there, we just don't have the skilled workforce to fill them. that's the president's economic agenda. that left out immigration reform. but what is wrong with this that republicans just won't move on it? >> although some of those things sound good. wh

retired army officer who served in fallujah, and on the security council during the bush and clinton administrations. great to have you with us. ross you fought in the battle for fallujah as a marine. what did you think when you heard it fell to militants? >> it's not clear too me that the city fell to militants. honestly, i felt like history was repeating itself. we are hearing the same rhetoric used to justify another assault on the city. in both cases claims were made that al qaeda took control of the city and heavy-handed military response was needed to liberate the city. in 2004 that turned out not to be true. there was al qaeda in the city. they were very minimal, playing a marginal role in the resistance taking place then. today a lot of the reports that i'm getting from my contacts in fallujah is that al-qaeda and al qaeda-linked groups are minimal, playing a marginal role in the fighting. today it's mostly tribal militias fighting against government forces. unfortunately i think the same situation is playing out - the city is being destroyed and citizens harmed. >> douglas, do you agree wit

is is us investigations that this is in fact a federal agency that was privatized by the clinton administration nineteen ninety six. so bizarre it is because the standards credit checks and i'm cheating on a palm sunday two point three million of people crews began to get a background check your speed when you don't often read. gs is so so is the enormous amount of work and for some reason and demonstration said it would save money. privatizing it actually so did the high level group of five point five million dollars in diamonds ninety six and last of the geniuses so this is b's data packets. now when this is done by some people call it of course since the cuban profits based on the number of investigations to do more investigation is due to the pasta to direct them on top of it. and so would you have in fact even the us that says is a small group of people. edmonton's pines in a different direction than the seven lawsuits. da capo and that of individuals who work for us scientists who complained that the company was forcing them to us. boston boston boston says to the u s taxes suspended peop

jack lew spent time at citigroup, mostly an economic bureaucrat working in the clinton administrationnistration. chief of staff before he became treasury secretary. larry spent last 40 years on wall street. there was a little bit of that. larry is known as kind of a gossip. from what i understand, "vanity fair" once called him wall street's yenta. i think from what i understand that scared people in the obama administration. the fact he has this network of sources. always chatting with people on wall street. lori: could be you? >> i'm not say but i'm just telling you that, that did hurt his bid -- adam: he wouldn't pay to the whole theme of income inequality and class warfare either but would he be a good treasury secretary? >> among the democrats he would be the best. he's a smart guy. he knows the markets. he would be like a hank paulson equivalent. i actually think hank paulson was a very good treasury secretary, particularly when we needed him at that point during the financial crisis. he was former goldman sachs chairman and went on to become george bush's treasury secretary. he

he worked for both of them years ago in bill clinton's administration and then headed before she was elected senator, the senate first senate campaign for hillary clinton as her campaign manager in new york state. >> uh-huh. john, let's talk a little bit about the role that he has here. he's the first democratic mayor of the city in two decades here. "the new york times" calling him an aserttive tax the rich liberal. but he does need the governor, andrew cuomo and state legislators to make a lot of things he wants to have happen. what does he have the power to do right away? they see it almost as an experiment of new york city, a city of that size, and social policy, the kinds of changes he wants to making >> yeah, that's the key question. i mean, happily for bill deblasio, he was andrew cuomo's deputy when andrew was housing and urban development secretary under clinton. so they have a relationship going a long way back. you cut on the core issue for why his election is being seen as a national bellwether by some hopeful liberal democrats, not only the first democrat in the 20 years

clinton administration. -- appointed during the clinton administration. the u.s. commission on immigration reform, also known as the jordan commission. it was named after the chairperson of the commission, former congresswoman barbara jordan, a black democrat from texas and also a law school professor. under the jordan commission, the issue of immigration reform was studied for a period of about three years, and i had the opportunity of testifying before the jordan commission, and the recommendations of the jordan commission were that we should reduce legal immigration to a level of about 550,000 people a year. that was a significant reduction from then. the level was about 850,000 a year. as i have noted, it has climbed since then every year. of to over one million a year now. they felt that 550,000 a year would be sufficient to take care of business needs for immigration and a continuing refugee flow and admitting the immediate relatives of u.s. citizens. what they recommended, and this is one of the point

we did have negotiations that froze the plutonium program over eight years with clinton administration but there is a difference of opinion but the bush and administration they were cheating then they pulled the plug on the talks and as a result they've moved ahead with the three nuclear tests now declare themselves a nuclear weapon state. if we can solve the iran problem we can demonstrate to change the behavior than that might have benefits with north korea. partially influencing the north koreans but influencing the up partners in particular a china to assist in diplomatic efforts >> we could go on all afternoon i am confident. joe will be here most of the afternoon. we will take a break and he will be all sides signing books. i am share would be happy to talk further with you. please join me to thank him for his time and visiting us here in charlotte.

bill deblasio was the campaign manager, served in clinton's administration. friend. they are progressive democrats and that language and rhetoric and goals make us democrats. it's why my dad loved franklin roosevelt. they are cleaning up snow and it's the potholes. that's the priority. as progressive democrats they share values and goals. >> there are far left comments in the introduction talking about new york being a plantation and so on. the mayor got up -- the guy you say shares the clintons' ideology and says this is the tale of two cities. the exclusive domain of the 1%. that conservatives believe the way forward is to give more to the most fortunate. it's us against the elite in the city. is that what we are going to hear from hillary clinton? i said values and goals. i didn't say everybody agrees as fellow liberals on the means to the goals. bill clinton is not a progressive from the earliest days i knew him back in law school. he balanced the budget when a conservative republican president left the deficit, created 23 million. mayor deblasio ran hill

i mean, i worked in the clinton administration. i have a good feel for what the president is about. stood for in his presidency and in his post presidency with the clinton foundation. i think part of what's happening here is as our social justice movement -- and i keep looking back at what's happening in the moral mondays in north carolina with our -- what reverend barber wants to do is to impact what the state legislature is not doing. and part of what that is is the strength in numbers. as he builds his coalition, he's going to have the numbers to impact the state legislature so that the governor is going to have to say, okay, maybe i do need to consider what i'm not doing with medicaid, unemployment, all of that. that is i think the strength in numbers and moving -- >> pretty extraordinary coalition, right? one that includes lgbt folk, one that includes students, one that includes women, one that includes democrats and republicans. barber was our first foot soldier on this show and it has been extraordinary to watch whatever else he is he's interested in building movement as to po

janet reno stop appointing the criminal division and career appointees that are part of the clinton administratione had this fight inside congress and the fbi director doing it. but at the same time, we had a vibrant and aggressive oversight, meaning our committee, run by bill clinger and dan burton ran aggressive investigations in the house and they ran aggressive investigations in the senate and lead by mike chertoff and then became secretary of homeland security. we had serious investigations going on in congress. we don't have that today. that is the solution. one of the solutions. we need aggressive oversight in congress. and to have a career prosecutor, who knows better. she should refuse herself under the rules of being a lawyer or prosecutor at the department of justice, she ought to stand up and say i have been the appearance of impropriority and that is enough for me to give up the job and have somebody who doesn't have that. >> you are talking about barbara bosserman who it was discovered to give more than six thnt thousand -- 6,000 to obama campaign. they have to leave her in the post?

don't tell me this doesn't happen in the obama administration, the clinton administration, the bush administration. >> a sideswipe. but a few days later on january 12th,giuliani doubled down on his defense of christie on abc's "this week." here is rude different. >> the reality is he says he didn't realize. he says he didn't know. i think it's pretty credible. he wouldn't make this blanket denial unless it's not true. >> now january 30th, to put in jersey terms, you can forget about all that certitude. in 20 days his belief in christie's innocence has gone from absolute certainty to a mayor coin flip that he is guilty. this is giuliani speaking with geraldo rivera on geraldo's radio show. >> what about that e-mail from bridget anne kelly? isn't that, you know, "time for some traffic problems in ft. lee." mayor giuliani, doesn't that infer that there are, you know -- there was this conversation before about stuff like that? >> with the governor? no, it doesn't. it's 50-50. it leaves you with no -- no possible way of knowing, did she discuss it with him or didn't she discuss it with him. >> well, th

every administration -- don't tell me this doesn't happen in the obama administration, the clinton administrationration. >> see? it's just kids stuff. i mean, who hasn't shut a bridge down? and if the right is not busy dismissing the scandal, they're ignoring it. on the day the scandal broke, fox news spent less than 15 minutes covering the story. and when they did finally get around to reporting it, suddenly christie's response was a lesson in leadership. it was responsibility 101. in fact, the obama administration should be taking pointers because republicans know this chris christie scandal is all about one thing, president obama. >> the administration holds no one accountable, not when it comes to the botched obama care roll-out, the irs enemies list, the nsa spying scandal. and remember fast and furious? well, that controversy, nothing happens there. so they may want to rethink this attack on the new jersey governor. >> when you look at the president of the united states, he says i didn't know anything about the affordable care act website, i didn't know about the irs, the doj, benghazi. >>

during the clinton administration she served in a variety of capacities in the state and peace corps and office of management and budget. prior to her government service, she's was part of the team that created the international crisis group. she has a b.s. in foreign service from georgetown university, and m.a. in public policy studies from the university of chicago. thank you for joining us today. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i'd like to thank the other members, ranking member cruz, senator klobuchar, and senators whitehouse and graham for coming out today. senator graham has sat through and chaired a similar hearing. he's a die-hard fan of ours. we appreciate that. or at least very interested in the subject which we appreciate. thank you for holding this hearing and blig attention to the tragedy unfoileding in the middle east. i'm here today with colleagues from u.s. agency for international development and department of homeland security. i'm going to limit my remarks to the state department's role in assisting refugees overseas. we are also going to talk about aid inside syria. a

he was top adviser to senator robert f kennedy and also a member of president bill clinton's administrationntil he resigned in protest after clinton signed the 1996 welfare reform legislation. his latest book is, "so rich, so poor: why it's so hard to end poverty in america." it is great to have you back on democracy now! let's go back 50 years ago this week to the announcement of the war on poverty by president johnson. talk about just what that war on poverty was. in fact, it was specific. >> it was very specific. first, thank you, i'm delighted to be with you this morning. there were really two layers to what president johnson did. one was the war on poverty and the other was the larger great society. when we think about that period of time, we need to understand the big things were medicare and medicaid and the historic civil rights laws and the first-ever federal aid to elementary and secondary education. the war on poverty was very specific. it was good things. it was headstart, legal services for low income people, community health centers -- all things we still have, all things that

and i think you did have a lot of people with experience from the clinton white house the first term of the obama administration. i think that, also, you're always fighting the last war. when the clintons fried to pass health care reform -- tried to pass health care reform, the complaint was that they had handed it down from on lie, and they had ignored the prerogatives of congress. and so the approach this time was different. they had a framework which they thought was a centrist, bipartisan framework largely because it had been built on the exchanges that were an idea from the republican alternative to hillarycare, and they thought that if the details were worked out, they would be able to do something in a bipartisan way in a way they couldn't if it was a democratic president handing things down from on high. i think that they underestimated the degree of resolve on the part of the republicans. republicans came out scorched earth against the stimulus at a time when the economy was in freefall. i mean, this was the bill to prevent us from going into a depression. and not only was it the bill to keep us from g

how a potential hillary clinton administration may be able to fix that. >> i know you were just talkingim geithner, about his alleged threats, we'll get into that later. but what's interesting is when geithner stepped down in 2011, right, who threw his name into the hat? it was larry fink who wanted the job of treasury secretary since 2007. he's been rebuffed repeatedly by the obama administration. what sources are telling the fox business network is he is now angling, angling to basically be the next treasury secretary if hillary clinton becomes the president of the united states. how is he angling? well, he's telling people this, he'll raise money in the future, and kind of interesting, in late last year he appointed cheryl mills, himself's former choof of -- hillary clinton's former chief of staff. what was interesting, very competent laayer, not exactly someone you'd expect to be on the blackrook board of directors. she's not exactly a financial type. but what people are saying, people with knowledge of fink's intentions are saying this is all part of a basic strategy to sort of war

don't tell me this doesn't happen in the obama administration, in the clinton administration, in the dministration. >> if this was something that governor christie knew about, again you don't believe it and there's no evidence that he did, is it something -- do you think it's a big deal? er or is it just one of those vindictive things that politicians do? >> it's a big deal because of the consequences. if there hadn't been a person that died, then it might not be as big a deal. and of course, whether it's a big deal or not it becomes a big deal once he says he didn't know about it. at this point if he knows about it it becomes a very big deal. but i'm quite con vichvinced fre way he's acted today and in the lead up to this he didn't know about it. i think it becomes something that it's obviously never going to be a plus. the only way it becomes a slight plus for him is the way he handled it today, which is about as open as i've ever seen a politician. >> you don't think this has some sort of long-term um packet on governor christie? >> if the story remains the way it is absolutely not
