in the clinton administration there was an agreement in which north korea would not pursue its nuclear program and did shut it down. exactly why george w. bush administration moved away from that agreement is not clear. not clear in my mind and i don't know if it is clear in anybody's mind. the agreement did fall out and was pushed aside in the early 2000's. koreat point north resumed its nuclear program. it may have been doing it secretively before that, that is not clear. they certainly did it secretively in the early 2000 time. host: we saw the obama administration make a big effort in asia. it has that gone by the wayside? guest: asia remains a critical part of economic and foreign policy. relationship with china economically, politically and militarily is of upmost importance. asia is where the current action is. however, no sooner was that pivot discussed and became a reality. those three aircraft carriers are one example. ukraine and pulling -- putin, putin took over crimea and the invasion of ukraine beyond crimea. all of that took place. the fact of the matter is that the unit

you remember nafta was relieved at the beginning of the clinton administration. he knew that he would pay hypothetical costs are being proactive in the party and the other major parties with published debate could punish him for that. he went ahead and nafta was approved so that was the first test. the second big test is the fact that in late 1994 becoming president of mexico and my country faced an incredibly difficult financial crisis radically unprecedented and this was only a few days into my administration. i said there's bad news, the country is bankrupt. i will call you but i have powerful reasons. one, i need the support not only of the au and math because we had put in place a very strong organization in the reform program, but the situation is so bad that we need to put together more resources. the second reason i called you is because if we do not go through this situation it will not only be a mexican crisis, it will be more systemic and it will affect the rest of latin america and as we saw in 82 with the debt crisis it could be systemic to the entir

the clinton administration continued in its efforts to influence the taliban regime . we were in the middle of trying to. get them to modify their behavior and i'm a believer and you talk to your friends and your enemies talking is not acceptance of those practices. from day one the clinton administration was trying to push back and first you know control and then pressure the taliban or seeming to change and of course that escalated once some of bin ladin left sudan and went to afghanistan and i'd say ninety six. bombings of ninety eight were conducted from there so it's very much on the forefront. the problem of osama bin laden stood in the way of any agreement about future oil and gas pipelines. he had declared war on america and this on the ten years bombings of our embassies and his kenya really put us on a war footing with a sound and then from that point on we were actually trying to kill him. on the twentieth of august nineteenth ninety seven president clinton ordered the launch of cruise missiles against several i'll call you to bases and i understand. four of

that clinton was the victim of a multimillion dollar investigation by kenneth star who the clinton administrationnd most democrats considered a zealot and out to destroy bill clinton. that colored the allegations against him. some echoes of what roy moore is saying in alabama when people are tribal and partisan and it's easy to explain away accusations that seemed like they are coming from a person who is trying to destroy him politically. it's hard for the defenders to see the accuracy of the stories and most democrats at the time of the monica lewinsky scandal specifically would argue this was a consensual sexual relationship and did not rise to the level of impeachment and the perjury and obstruction of justice that flowed from that relationship were traps by the independent counsel. that was the view at the time. democrats as we have seen are really, really reassessing that. >> that was the lewinsky situation. there were other women who did not say it was consensual. >> prewhite house. >> yeah. it was people who were at the forefront whose names were synonymous with the women's lib movement.

he also served in the obama -- he was the white house chief of staff during the clinton administration. also, former member of congress. he served on the budget committee and i think you were the chair of the budget committee. mr. secretary, you are currently the co-chair of the committee for a responsible federal budget and recently wrote an op-ed in "usa today" where you express concern about the tax bills that don't get the deficit under control. "the budget office is badly broken and there's no longer any pretense of trying to get deficits and debt under control." so the holdup right now appears to be these triggers that would raise questions, once again, if the deficit balloons. what's your reaction to what is happening on the senate floor right now? >> well, i've been there, wolf, and i've been on the floor at the last minute trying to work out a negotiation in order to get something meeting. it's a lousy way to legislate and this is a difficult issue because it does involve the issue of adding to our debt and it's been confirmed now, even with their growth numbers, that we're go

he worked in the clinton administration.ugh, he had balanced comments to make about the experiences powell has had, including the fact he is not an economist. it is neither concerning nor refreshing. i think it is fairly normal. the things you learn when you get an economics phd are not essential to being a good fed chair. the equivalentas of much more than one phd in the financial markets and in monetary policy given all the time he spent around wall street and government. >> and i think that is pretty telling. the other thing about jerome powell, he is open to bank aregulation has many people looking at the dodd frank act as a little excessive. these are the questions he will be facing when he goes through his senate confirmation now the donald trump has made up his mind. betty: stay with us. lgtnt to bring in the capital partners global strategist from hong kong with more reaction on this. are you are sure to hearing this news that jerome powell will lead the fed? >> yes, i am among the happy crowd, although i must add fe

and yet in many ways the clinton administration felt that koresh had left them no alternative. >> theere was david koresh. and i do not think the united states government is responsible for the fact that a bunch of fanatics decided to kill themselves. and i'm sorry that they killed their children. >> it was proved later that the davidians lit that building on fire themselves. but there were literally millions of americans who absolutely believed that the government had murdered those people. >> this whole situation started with violence. it was not justified, not provoked when the atf went in there. and it ended in violence that was not justified and not provoked. >> waco was proof positive to many people that this was an aggressive, predatory federal government and now we have to fight back, like the minutemen in 1776 to bear arms to defend their own rights. >> this is the michigan militia, a self-proclaimed fighting force of ordinary citizens preparing to defend themselves against the federal government. >> you will be receiving live fire over your heads this morning. >> there's als

the bush administration failed on this and the obama administration failed on this and the clinton administrationd on this. it's decades of failure with regard to north korea. everybody wants to punt and kick the can down the road and we're now at the point they're so close of getting a nuclear weapon that could hurt us and our people that we can't allow that can to be kicked down the road anymore. china is a big factor in this, let's not forget. china essentially allowed them to be there in the first place. they have a lot more intelligence than we do about north korea. how do we influence china in this whole regard? i know we're trying and that the president has been making efforts and china has signed onto some sanctions, but there's a lot more we can do, right? >> well, china is the most important part of the equation, they're literally, 70 to 80% of the north korean economy. they can make a call today and tell them, you are toast if you do not back away. i just don't think it's in their interest at this point in time. i think that sanctions are fine, but we have to go back to 2006, the first

one of the challenges is from the clinton administration to the bush administration and the obama administrationall three tried different avs to get the kim jong-un and his father's regime to stand down and not be a threatening menace. and none of it worked. you can't criticize any of the president's predecessors for trying different things. what we know now is a lot of those diplomatic avs failed. now the president is trying to push china perhaps more than other presidents did. the problem for him and the united states is that china doesn't have an interest in helping the u.s. defuse this. >> and i do want to read out president trump's latest tweet, where he actually links the north korea issue with the fight over spending, and this is what he said. after north korea missile launch, it's more important than ever to fund our government and military. democrats shouldn't hold troop funding hostage for amnesty and illegal immigration. i ran on stopping illegal immigration, and won big. they can't now threaten a shutdown to get their demands. he also said -- had this to say about nancy pelosi and ch

eight years the clinton administration.tor that into your interpretation of what i have to say. the most important signal that was sent in the first days of the clinton administration was the rising debt load of the united states was a concern of the federal government. the federal government, the administration, was willing to address political capital to turn that situation around. host: mississippi, independent line. caller: good morning, happy thanksgiving. 35 countries, we have the most powerful military. tax?ot have the highest for thewe going to pay best military in the world? we have bases everywhere. host: why not have higher taxes based on our commitments? to be taxes have competitive. the u.s. tax structure is uncompetitive in 2 ways. the information we have indicates the structure of the united states is more progressive than other countries. is tax structure generally more progressive. if you ask a schoolteacher in holland she would tell you she gets inexpensive or free health care and can send their kids in co
