were a help with the whole project talk about the need for a new america at the end of the clinton administration we have defense spending and preoccupation we haven't made those investments were i am part of the u.s. competitiveness project that we care about america is strong and also that would be once again leaders of the world. so i conclude it is about leadership with that collaboration in big vision and we have the technical skills that we don't always apply my own strength. to save us are restated the infrastructure there are many reasons for hope so with enough public agitation to be so active and involved but that is why i stepped up to read a book to not suggest it is only about transportation researcher one we have to get moving. >> host: and we half to lead again and this subtitle talks about putting a -- putting america's infrastructure back in the lead" you have a lot to say about that and you do something very interesting about transportation as concrete and steel but as a family concern or business concern what about allison and natalie and jacob how you dedicate the book to them

passing this law, actually it took effect during the clinton administration, but it was signed into law under jeb bush's father, george h. w. bush. easy for politicians to point fingers. what do you make of jeb's comment? >> i think it's an indication of how much the politics of guns has changed over the years. i think there used to be sort of a moderate faction of the republican party on the gun issue that thought that gun control in some sort of limited capacity was something that was good. i think that that's changed over the years, particularly i think as we've seen the rise in gun ownership accompanied by a decrease in crime, particularly in violent crime. i think that that's something that has made a lot of people who are center-right people who are in that sort of middle of the road position reconsider their approach to guns. i also think that in this case, jeb bush knows that he needs to speak to the conservative part of the party and make sure that he shores up his right flank, as it were. makes it clear that he's not someone who's at odds with them on an issue like this. i

i can remember in the clinton administration the week of monica lewinsky that that issue came up and there was going to be a joint news conference and so reporters were talking with mike mccurry about coverage and was there a way that they could meet with him and go through -- do a press conference before the joint newser and work through these issues. >> those days are gone? >> right. you just don't -- you don't see that. now, you do have the white house correspondents association meeting regularly with the press secretary, josh earnest, over coverage issues but you don't have it in that same way and you don't have the same kind of informality that existed before the television camera. i think also once television came in then it became

we negotiated with the north koreans during the clinton administration for example.ey signed an agreement and then they cheated. the agreement fell apart and it's now estimated they have as many as ten nuclear bombs. obviously what the president hopes is that they've got a very good chance of making this work. and over ten years that iran will change. iran will become a friendlier country, a more responsible country and that this problem will gradually recede. we'll have to wait and see. the next few weeks are going to be really important and next years are going to be really important. >> i think it's clear that the republicans running for president have already made up their minds, because they talk about the deals in the most apocalyptic terms. let's listen. >> this is a death sentence for the state of israel. >> the iranians are very good negotiators. the persians are always great negotiators. they are laughing at us back in iran. >> he says it makes a nuclear arms race less likely. our arab allies have said just the opposite. >> they come out of this a much much

it was stupid to do this especially given the clinton administration and hillary clinton's own reputation with the press as being paranoid and having this brass knuckles approach to dealing with the media -- mark: it is a self the filling -- self-fulfilling prophecy to say because she has this relationship with the press everything feeds into this image. they did this for logistical purposes. the press forms all over her. there are security concerns. think about the parade. if they have let the press go wherever they wanted to go, we are penned in all the time. heidi: they will have to be more sensitive. it's like following them into the bathroom. mark: i agree. i agree. i think the motive was to have the event not be ruined. and they pay a price for who she is. heidi: and certainly, there is the accessibility and other elements they have been hit on for elements of the media relationship. mark: we will she what's he says. chris christie was on fox news twice and did morning joe on msnbc. he went out of his way to name check some rivals in a negative way, including rand paul and ted cruz,

. >> the clinton administration would largely continue a policy of standing back from the bosnian war. but in early july 1995, serb forces seized sverbenitza, a so-called shaven defended by a small united nations peacekeeping force. as serb soldiers over ran the tout the out numbered troops could do little more than watch as the serbs separated the men and boys from the women and children and began slaughtering them. the killing continued for days and claimed some 8,000 lives. >> it was sreberniza that was the real turning point. when it emerged that the 8,000 men and boys who had been initially reported missing had been murdered that really shocked people in washington as it did around the world. i remember sitting in the situation room when we saw the photographs of young men and the income day you see the mass graves right there in the same place. we all said we have to act. >> after the errors the strategy of sitting on the sidelines was no longer viable. either morally or politically. >> secretary general has now asked that authority be given to our commanders there on the ground

this is during the clinton administration. a clear consensus, democrats and republicans, that unlike those earlier technologies, the internet was going to be largely unregulated. anybody could launch a website the government would not get in to deciding places were reasonable or not reasonable, what innovations could be used for not used. fair use regulation of content unlike traditional television broadcasting, for example, none of those rules were going to apply to the internet. in the last couple of years, we have seen a significant erosion of that bipartisan consensus that is undermining the internet as a source of innovation. that is why i often write about washington. which is a bit ironic. in the 90's, silicon valley was culturally rooted to trying tuesday as far away from washington as regulation as it could, having seen what happened to earlier technology. sometimes people in silicon valley forget how lucky they are to be operating largely in an area where innovation is allowed to happen without, in most cases, govern

for warning signs -- look for warning signs in new deal. >> i will be -- we're shorto time, clinton administrationned on confronts north koreans in aiwa all that reengage them. they plan to do this, i believe, we did not have one of those, the beginning of bush administration, team was briefed in they decided also to continue with deal, and watch what was happening and see whether cheating continued. then, they confronted north koreans, deal collapsed, and north korea built nuclear weapons and tested them, the issue for us, right now with iran is, can we catch them. and if we do, will we do something constructive about it, that is something that administration hassa answer. charles: thank you so much i think that was a key word, are we willing to confront them once we catch them cheating, appreciate your time. >> thank you. charles: so all these lone wolves are part of a real bigger pack that could be a cyber ring? we'll have the answer for you next. do you want to know how hard it can be to breathe with copd? it can feel like this. copd includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema. spiriva is a once

it's a genocide that will rival what the clinton administration did in rowanda back in 1994 and that oing to be the legacy of this administration. >> that government in baghdad is still holding up the equipment and the arms needed for the kurds to fight against isis. >> so what we really ought to be doing right now and listen to the doctor when he comes next week. directly arm the kurds in northern iraq and destroy a carrier strike group to the mediterranean and put search and rescue assets in israel and jordan to add more intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance. more strike aircraft over iraq and the air strikes we're doing right now are flaccid in terms of what needs to be done. third, immediately put u.s. advisors and air controllers on the ground with iraqi forces to include the forces and then facilitate his national salvation force plan for arming the kurds and his forces with egyptian saudi jordanian and ua support. they can do it. they claimed, in his words, your enemy is our enemy and we're not asking you to fight for us. we'll do the fighting, you just need to help us.

for a new vision for america pause you had been putting forth a vision at the end of the clinton administration when you were leaving office. then unfortunately the world changed in the 2000s. >> yes. >> we had a lot of defense spending. we had a lot of other preokay pageses and a financial crisis. so we haven't made the kind of investments we need to make. i thought this was so important to the future of the country and i am part of the u.s. competitiveness project that harvard business school. we really care about making sure america is strong and american economy and quality of life are as excellent as they could possibly be. that we're once again leaders in the world. so i put aside what i thought was my leadership book to write this. and then it was really interesting that i ended up concluding, it is all about leadership. >> it is. >> there are many other details but it's all about leadership and that the leadership for innovation collaboration big vision is as important as the engineering. this isn't a technical issue. we could do this. we have the technical skills in america. in fact in

the last two years have been the best two years for job growth since the late 1990's, the clinton administration. at the same time, you are. we have to address wage stagnation. we need to lift wages for people who are managers who work overtime. we have been trying to lift the minimum wage for some time. we invest in skills because the best way to get a better wages to get a better job. host: as the labor secretary, you must be watching events in greece very closely. are you worried that whatever the results of this referendum, the u.s. economy will not be insulated from what happens in europe? >> we are monitoring at very closely. jack lew and others have been in regular contact with our counterparts in europe. this is an issue the eu continues to wrestle with. we will be monitoring and carefully and i am confident the u.s. economy is vibrant enough to move forward with strength. host: if you look at the chinese stock market, not very good news there in recent days. won't that also have an impact on jobs in the united states? host:>> we have now had 64 consecutive months of private sector drop

you think about this recent wave of mass shootings going as far back as columbine under the clinton administrationration that recent presidents feel why does it seem there is no real response or movement from congress when most of these recent year presidents have all said something has to give? what's happening? >> two reasons. number one, i can spell it out in three letters. nra, the national rifle association. >> are you talking as it pertains to lobbying? >> lobbying and money in politics. a small highly organized, highly financed group can actually cancel out the sentiments of the vast majority of americans who do favor particular common sense gun control legislation. the second thing is timid politicians. they don't have a backbone. they're not willing to stand up to the nra or refute its absurd arguments like people kill people, guns don't kill people. well of course people have the motive but guns are the means. i grew up in a really tough neighborhood in brooklyn. we had plenty of fights. but we never killed or seriously hurt each other. why? because we didn't have guns. if we had guns i

then there was more cooperation between president bush and mayor daley and bill clinton administration. after the high-rises were torn down and were dispersed throughout when the older gang bangers were in prisons as a result of that. so this is one of the big problems of the government program. that doesn't mean you should not try to house people. so you do that but i am optimistic gone though whole to be public-private partnerships with philanthropy and government together. >> let me throw na word of caution about philanthropy. three very large philanthropy's. with the experiments of urban reforms also the center in the non-political since they were just as an accountable as government to save not criminally beretta of the edge. not because the people were mean but baltimore is the only city i have ever been to to go to a high-end party there were drug dealers at the party. this is before the wire by the way.

first of all, north korea during the eight years of the clinton administration, they didn't gain one owns overplay tune yum. what they did do is started cheating on the highly enriched path. and the frame work was put in patriot, and the administrations changed and the new administration came in with a different attitude, about how to approach them but with the discovery of the cheating on the h.e.u., they immediately shut down the track, and north korea pulled out of the mtp. fully pulled out. there were no inspections nothing else was happening and yes they blew up several nuclear weapons and they developed their nuclear capacity that should be a warning to everybody here. about why what we have in fact put in place is so important and out to be embraced because unlike north korea the north korea experience is what gave birth to the additional protocol. i just want you to know that p the additional protocol came to remedy the deficit of what happened with north korea. so the access we have, we never had in north korea. and i believe through the myriad of access, civil nuclear progr

this was during the clinton administration. clear consensus, democrats and republicans, that unlike those earlier technologies the internet was going to be largely unregulated, permissionless. anybody could launch a web site, anybody could launch an app. the government wouldn't get into deciding what prices were reasonable or not reasonable what innovations could be used or not used, there'd be no fair use, there'd be no regulation of content unlike traditional television broadcast, for example, with its fairness doctrine. none of those rules were going to apply to the internet. in the last couple of years, we've seen a significant erosion of that bipartisan consensus that is undermining the internet as a source of permissionless innovation. that's why that's why i often write about washington. which is a bit ironic. at the beginning of the internet the 1990s silicon valley was culturally committed to try to stay as far away from washington and regulation as it could having seen what happened to earlier technologies. and someti

but throughout the first four years of the clinton administration, the media kept steady pressure on the first couple overn investment they made in 1978. back then, the clinton's wentthd susan mcdougal. together they formed the "whitewater development corporation" and bought 230 acres ofand along arkansas' whitewater river in hopes of developing it for vacation homes. that wasn'ta crime butfter whitewater went sour, the mcdougals engaged in several schemes "the mcdougals and governor tucker were convicted of lying to obtain federal loans for real estate deals. much of the moneyas intended for disadvantaged businesses. taxpayers lost more than three million dollars. prosecutors never accused the president nor first lady of wrongdoing, but one witness,avid hale, did testify theresident exerted influencehile governor. hale is a former banker who testified mr. clinton pressured him in the mid 1980s to make one of the illegal loans to susan mcdougal." documents surrounding the mcdougals' illegal activities triggered the investigationhat would become known as the whitewater scandal. what i

never actually existed, you know, they have this idea that somehow the first six years of the clinton administration were so perfect from the standpoint of their own disparate agendas. democrats see in them the kind of great hope for their side. republicans remember him as somebody who was not quite as bad as obama. you know, they could work with him. but the fact is at the time they both were disappointed by clinton in their own ways too, right? >> yeah, and the hate that was directed at clinton. >> specifically. >> specifically, and in the most vicious terms and ending up with, unbelievably, impeachment. >> yeah. >> is conveniently forgotten. >> right. >> i think the passions of that time have faded. >> yeah. >> and clinton is now regarded with this rosy retrospective glow. >> yeah. >> i think it will take a lot less time for that to happen to obama. >> you think so? >> but we always miss them when they're gone, but we don't love them --. >> when they're actually here, right. we wait too long to tell them. so speaking of clintons, forget him about him, let's talk about her. had she been president,

it took several years, but it was president clinton and his administration who finally did lead the push o to pushback the bosniaens. we witnessed weeks of nato bombings in september, early september and that leading to complicated diplomatic negotiation in ohio in the united states and that led to the peace because the united states gathered its nato allies and sent peace keepers here some 60,000. and they kept the peace and the peace is still kept to today. so it is possible. then it happened in kosovo a few years later. the u.s. intervened, led again by president clinton and prime minister blair and other allies and they stopped what happened in bosnia from happening in kosovo. that was really something very very important because they said we can't allow this kind of massacre massacre, this genocide to happen again. fast forward and we're having massacre after massacre in syria. it's not termed a genocide there. it's an ongoing war first by assad and now all these isis groups and others who simply slaughtering people and nobody is doing anything to stop it. just this week the united

william burns: i think there was a serious effort made in the 1990's in the clinton administration andush and obama administrations to build healthy relationships. i think there was tactical progress, like around 2010. charlie: but that wasn't vladimir putin. william burns: well, he wasn't far from the scene. charlie: the question was, he was not far of the scene, they suggest that the u.s. thought that we could simply put all of our eggs in medvedev's basket because he was more likely to be -- william burns: i never thought that was the case. i think the reality is that for lots of russians, even including critics of putin, the history of the last 20, 25 years is a narrative of the west taking advantage of russia's moment of weakness. i'm not saying we should indulge it, but i think that is what lots of russians think. charlie: yes, i do know they think that. it's not true but you think it is a reality that animates them? with respect to the march of nato, we went and got close to georgia and perhaps ukraine if things had gone differently, was that a good idea? knowing vladimir putin

we'll be ending up in a situation like we were with north korea where we were promised by the clinton administration don't worry, we'll know if they have a breakout. we didn't know. we didn't find out. they cheated. they now have more than a dozen nuclear weapons and delivery systems. i'm afraid the same thing may happen in iran that will have negative consequences for the world, not just the united states. >> yeah. why do you think the president is so eager to do this deal? we know iran is a sponsor of terrorism. we know iran is the most disruptive in the region and we know they do not want u.n. inspectors in their military sites checking on whether or not they are, in fact enriching uranium. >> you know we've conceded on a number of major goals that were stated at the beginning, and i think it's just doing anything to get a diplomatic quote, success here so the president can add this to his legacy list. it's very dangerous in terms of how we go forward in what's going to happen in the middle east and how that may spread throughout the rest of the world. our extreme consequences. so we have to be v

this was during the clinton administration.ar consensus democrats and republicans, that unlike those earlier technologies, the internet was going to be largely unregulated. >> tonight at 8:00 eastern on "the communicators" on c-span 2. >> "washington journal" continues. host: andrew sealy of the wilson center joins us now for a discussion on mexico's fight against organized crime in the wake of that prison escape by joaquin elchaupo guzman last week and remind us who el chapeau -- el chapo and what it means? guest: he was one of the most wanted criminal in the world and is the biggest drug lord in mexico, the biggest supplier of cocaine to u.s. markets, a huge supplier of marijuana as well at a time mexico managed to disarticulate, take apart organized crime groups and his group kept operating and was successful and 17 months ago got him inside and seemed like the end of an era and sure enough he escapes through an air conditioned tunnel. host: he escapes and several prison workers have been charged and arrested in mexico as a

now, i'm joined now by former white house special counsel for the clinton administration.obert costa, national political reporter for washington post. good evening to all of you. lady and gentleman. >>> you heard from donald trump. jeb bush doesn't have what it takes to make the country great. is he running as a jeb bush spoiler? he says to me he's serious. >> regardless of what you think of mr. trump's politics, he certainly is taking up oxygen in this republican race. and for someone like governor bush, he presents a threat in terms of attention. not in terms of fund raising dollars, but to what he says on the campaign trail. >> he talked about the media in my interview. do you think that he gets a fair shake from the media? >> i think you see the press. they didn't think he was going to run. i had thought for months he would because he was hiring a lot of political staff. now that he's officially in and he's rising to the polls, everyone is just kind of waiting to see what happens. is this for real? or is this just a summer bump. >> i think it would be an understatement

asked you not only as a columnist, but we were both white house correspondents during the clinton administrationked questions. >> i think i would have framed the question differently, you know wolf if you wanted a real blend. i think the real question the real point is there's some strayedoffs here. who is holding? -- who do we believe is behind this holding of americans? iran and arresting "the washington post" journalist. it's the people who don't want this deal. the united states said we're not going to do anything until these people are out we would have been playing into the hardliners that don't want this deal. that said we've got to keep the pressure on to get these people out. but this is one of the most important strategic decisions any president has had to make. i went into journal i678 in 1979. i've never known any other than a host of relationship between the united states and iran. we are at the very beginning of possibly refusing that. it involves huge tradeoffs. those are tough calls. honor those calls. i think as a journalist we should respect those are hard tradeoffs. the presid

>> a lot of us do that with all of the clinton administration. >> mike such a sour puss.ammed ted cruise cruz for comments. in a tweet high wrote i am opposed to the iran deal but ted cruz is way over the line on the obama terrorism charge. way over the cause. when you send billions of jihadists trying to kill americans you bear responsibility for the murder they carry out. one reason republicans get clobbered, we have leaders like mitt romney and jeb bush who are afraid to say that. who is more bum body that tweet? >> i think jeb does not mind it. i think that is his brand. he is a reasonable guy and would never say anything like this. there is a certain tragedy to ted cruz. he has nothing limiting him. in the senate his thing is to take on senate leaders and pretty much gets smacked down. but i think on the campaign trail it looks to trump and how never blows back with what trump says. he says that is it. i am go to say these outrageous things. i don't see much evidence if you say anything outrageous in a republican primary that will ever hurt you. i don't know that mik

i also say this i covered the white house for 9 1/2 years starting with the clinton administration throughfirst half of the george w. bush administration. jay knows this from both sides of the equation it has become more and more common because politicians are so practiced, so driven to their talking points to try to get under their skin, to try to get under the skin of a president to get a better answer. that's become a better practice for better or worse. >> in this climate where presidents can make the news themselves go on youtube and tell their own stories, don't we have to be even more aggressive ask tougher questions when we can, even in the east room of the white house during a presidential press conference? >> absolutely. wet don't get as many questions of our leaders period including our president. that's a shame. it will be interesting to watch. the president has been more outspoken, seems more confident, we'll see how it translates into more access. >> i thought it was extraordinary to hear from the president on bill cosby in response to a question. here is what he said. >> if

bush's administration and signed during the clinton administration severely limited carrying firearms in military offices and bases. september when except when there is a reasonable expectation that life or d.o.d. assets will be jeopardized if firearms are not carried. i think a lot of people will be reexamining that clause in the light of what happened today. >> pete heg seth, good to see you. they're sitting ducks. preparing for the show today. i saw a dozen warnings about the threat to military centers and yet there they stood, marines unarmed. >> unarmed. you know this radical islamic scumbag is rotting in hell somewhere as this nation reveres these marines who gave their lives for this country. we are at war. islamics are at war with us. this must reignite whether we will arm those people in those facilities. the guy who shot at them says he wants to establish islam around world. and our intelligence have told us as the fbi director said it last week, if we are not willing to arm these guys, they will be sitting ducks, i believe this will reignite a national debate. all of those

. >> the genocide on july 11th 1995 was so horrific it led the clinton administration and nato to launch air strikes against the seshrbs. today commemorates the killing of 8,000 men and boys killed at the hands of the serbs. a funeral for the 136 newly discovered victims that died. then it turned ugly. among the dozen foreign leaders was serbian prime minister. angry mourners attack him and pelting him with rocks an water bottles. he is hated by most bosnian muslims. he called for 100 dead muslims for every dead christian serb. he and his guards were forced to run out of the event today. serbia is calling this an assassination attempt. president bill clinton thanked the serbian prime minister for having the courage to attend in a step towards reconciliation. >> i would never want to see a killing field like this. within thousands of miles of here but the world is still being dominated by wars and killings based on ethnicity and race and religion. >> civilians took refuge in srebrenica during the bosnian war. it is wa declared a safe heaven but the sesh troops overran the muslims there. t

when he had only been in prison about five or six years when we came into office with the clinton administrationasked if he should be released and i said no because almost all spies serve sentences longer than that but if you look at spies who have spied for friendly countries, such as let's say taiwanese americans, greek americans filipino americans, who spied for those countries, they say in prison usually about seven or eight years. the only people who stay as long as 30 years or so the way pollard has, is soviet spies who have gotten people killed people like ames and hansen. so i don't know why pollard was kept so long by comparison to other spies of his general category but i thought it was unfair beginning about 25 years ago. >>> the argument you heard when you suggested publicly he should be released from your former colleagues? >> well they just said what he did was serious and you can't release him, but what a number of these other filipino american and greek americans spies stole was important. what pollard stole was something, as long as it stayed in israeli hands, was not particular

. >> today the clinton administration. >> for years she was a familiar face on cnn. but tonight former news anchor lynn russell says she was nearly killed in wild robbery attempt and shoot out. >> motel 6 possible shooting. husband has been shot. >> she was on cross country road trip with her husband former cnn correspondent and soldier chuck karl oychlt i'm very, very grateful to my husband because he's my hero. he saved my life. >> she says they stopped for the night at this motel in albuquerque when strange man approached her in the parking lot. >> he gave me a good shove and i was airborne and into the room and he closed the door hyped us. >>reporter: she says the man demanded money. what he didn't know both russell and her husband have concealed weapons permits and were armed. >> he turned around and began firing on chuck and chuck returned fire. >> alleged robber was killed. russell husband chuck shot three times but survived. police are still investigating. >> thanks to him we have a one year anniversary this week. >> neal abc news seattle. >> if terminal canc
