talking about "clinton, inc." and the foundation one of the ways they raised money is through the clinton global initiative. not only here with the very wealthy to talk to have access to president clinton but have us situation where the fbi director says he needs help from the saudis and when the word comes back to have the president ask for access but then later hears he does not ask for help to have that mystery but instead asks for money for "clinton, inc."? >> guest: and famously contentious relationship never before heard of but i think it is a 10 year appointment i don't know the answer. but sessions was before him so he must have. regardless he takes his job seriously they want to give him the white house pass and come and go away and he says no. i don't want direct access i want a log by not doing anybody special favors i you want to do my job to the best of my abilities automatically it starts off with a contentious relationship with bill clinton. and it is made worse he is pursuing the scandals and the is

so let's go back to the clinton inc. part. ow much, i said before 214 million last year was the wealth of the clinton foundation. how much are the clintons were? >> guest: that's a tough question to pin down. this is what we know. we know that they have been, made about $40 million from books. he writes a $15 million book, she writes and $8 million book and then a $14 million book was his written a couple of the books. we know they've made at least $40 million off the books. we know, based on reports, they have made over $110 million on speeches alone. some of bill clinton's speeches command $750,000. so we know that's about $150 million. we know they own two homes. that aren't worth anything like that, that are worth around $5 billion apiece. and we know that there are other consulting fees that are paid to them. so i think a reasonable estimation is probably about $150 million. that's reasonable. i think -- >> host: that's their personal wealth separate from clinton inc.? >> guest: that's correct. i mean, look, the book is ba

let's go back to the clinton inc. art. 214 million last year was the wealth of the clinton foundation. how much of the clintons weren't? >> guest: that's a tough question to pin down. this is what we know. we know they have been -- made $40 million in books. he writes a 50 million-dollar book and she writes an eight mean -- 8 million-dollar book and a 40 million-dollar book and he has written a couple of other books. we know they have made at least $40 million off of books. we know based on reports that they have made over $110 million on speeches alone. some of bill clinton's speeches demand $750,000. so we know that's $150 million. we know they owned two homes that aren't worth anything like that better worth around $5 million apiece. we know there are other consulting fees that are paid to them so i think a reasonable estimation is probably about $150 million. that's reasonable. >> host: that's their personal wealth separate from clinton and? >> guest: that's correct. the book is basically you can't really separate

for example, talking about "clinton, inc." and about the foundation, one of the ways in which they raise money is through the clinton global initiative. the story is told here that it's not only about the clinton global initiative inviting in world leaders and very wealthy to talk and have access to president clinton and mrs. clinton, but you have a situation where louis freeh, the fbi director, is saying he needs some help from the saudis. and when the word comes back, you have to have the president asked for access, he sends word along but later here's the president doesn't ask for help in solving some of the mystery surrounding 9/11 but instead asks for money for clinton inc. tell me this. >> guest: louis freeh has a famously contentious relationship with bill clinton. louis freeh, the fbi director who needed to take a dna sample from the president of the country. never before heard of. >> host: did clinton appointed him? >> guest: that's a good question. i don't know the answer. i think it's a 10 year appointment. maybe fiv

. >> host: newt gingrich decided the title should be clinton inc. what did he suggest? >> guest: he suggested how the mutual marriage -- >> host: it just strikes me that conservatives at the moment are preoccupied with hillary clinton but the clintons in general and part of their preoccupation is the idea that the liberal media is insufficiently critical of the clintons and part of that is in your book people are reluctant to talk about clinton inc.. >> guest: this is the conundrum. what they are saying now is for political gain but as i was reporting the bug i was struck by how many republicans had only nice things to say about those bill and hillary and how they have this systematic approach. bill clinton obviously is mp tried republicans, not democrats. they realize when they lose the white house that their problem is with republicans, not democrats. so he calls up all of these republicans and has these late night phone calls with newt gingrich and whenever he sees one united states senator he says great job on tv last sunday. just a small compliment that are

there is no longer clinton loyalty and ultimately that is bad it shows there is a weakness with clinton inc. they have to realize eventually that they need help benefit themselves and not the greater corporation. >> host: so going beyond this book dash u.n. 2016? >> guest: maybe 50/50. she is the strongest candidate but he started the statement by talking about her poll numbers that are doing quite well but go talk to rudy giuliani and asked him or president gary hart. they don't mean so much. she is the strongest candidate but she has weaknesses but if she can recognize those and somehow try to fix them or if she tries to ignore them then that will help to determine if she becomes the next president of the united states. >> host: author of the new book thank you for joining us. >> guest: thank you. >> host: the book is called "the contested murder of latasha harlins" justice, gender, and the origins of the la riots" published by oxford university press. the author is ucla history professor brenda stevenson. professor stevenson who was latasha harlins? >> guest: 14 year-old african-american
