most important factor david culter has worked on health care for years, including helping the clinton white house efforts 15 years ago. and the most recent senate proposal does not include a public option. instead, it expands medicaid with the goal of rooting out waste and fraud. however, some worry that if any government plan forces doctors to accept less money than it costs them to provide the care, it will continue to shift costs to the insured. if a public plan works the same way in reducing costs by cutting what providers are getting below their costs, its only going to....the problem we current exists with huge cost shifting back to employers so instead of paying 100 percent of a fee they're paying 150 percent of a service because the providers are not getting paid enough. tomorrow on first business, as the latest reform legislation takes shape...a look at spending health care dollars more efficiently. is been nearly impossible for the bears to put to read days together in a role in september that's been the case this week we have drawers back with us over at the cme group and i can see som

the clinton white house, on the other hand, was criticized for telling congress what to do. but at least as important, the problems are the same as 16 years ago, only they've gotten worse. the country's annual health care costs have risen much more than the rate of inflation, from $912 billion a year in 1993, to a projected $2.5 trillion this year. >> the united states spends over a third more of its income on health care than any other nation on earth. >> we spend almost 50% more per person on health care than the next most expensive nation. >> reporter: the cost of family insurance coverage under an average group insurance plan was over $5,000 back then. now it's well over $12,000. and predictions president clinton made about the impact of this -- >> a full third of small businesses now covering their employees say they will be forced to drop their insurance. >> reporter: largely came true. >> across the country 1/3 of small businesses have dropped their workers coverage altogether since the early '90s. >> reporter: causing a surge in the ranks of the uninsured, from appro

he found his dealings with the clinton white house mind-boging because it struck him that these folks did not understand the rudimts about congressional politics. d the threat of a veto, which e president issued in his january 1994 state of the union address, four months after it had begun was mind-boggling to mr. o'donnell because it was so clear to him from his perspective on capitolill that the only way anything would be passed would be through compromise and substtial compromise on the presidens part. hear him come before the congress and say, "if you don't give me the bill that i asked for, i will veto it," seemed to him to signal that, as he put it, that he was dealing with a bunch of amateurs down there. c-span: you have this line in the book, "o'donnell distrusted the clinton planners, especial maganer." that's larry o'donnell working for pat moynihan in the same party that bill clinton's in. >> guest: that is right. c-span: how much distrust is there in this town among all these different people within thsame parties? >> guest: a great deal. and you find the same thin i think

walmart. >>> it turns out that during bill clinton's eight years in the white house, he secretly createdtory of his presidency by tape recording conversations with a longtime friend and author. a new book based on those conversations provides a revealing look inside the clinton presidency. during bill clinton's presidency the nation ross entered, he worked for broker peace in the middle east championed welfare reform and signed the and a half take free trade agreement. >> we are ready to compete and we can win. >> but his presidency was marred by numerous investigations a lawsuit brought by paula jones charging sexual harassment and the monica lewinsky scam. through it all, the prod con kelled those events some confidential tape recorded conversations with friend and historian taylor branch. and joining us now is the author of the clinton tapes where he is link where he is link history with the president. taylor branch. how many trips did you make to the white house is this. >> 79 that actually as a resulted in hesser to. there were a few that within aborted, but 79 full ones. >> you're

when i left the white house, when my boss president clinton left the white house, we were at a surplus. if we'ral full employment and you still are running huge deficits, but right now the instruments we've had used to keep you away from a depression are working. that means as revenues come back up in the recovery and as we see a more rational approach to spending, not like the bush reckless tax cuts that were just fiscally are responsible, but the thing we use to keep the economy going, we'll see the budget come back in order. >> should we have just done nothing? >> no, we could have made sure to prop up individuals, people who needed unemployment extensions, taking a case-by-case basis at some of the industries, but i don't think the widespread billions of dollars that we intent to prop up the financial services market was justified. president obama has added trillions to the deficit in just a few short months. >> guys, good discussion. david, ron, good to see you. >>> keep it here on cnbc, because we have a very big monday, special live coverage live on wall street. and then primeti

regarding the media, bill, when i was at the clinton white house, it sure felt that the "new york times," the "the washington post," and the, quote, liberal media were ganging up on bill clinton every day. bill: they did that because of social problems that you guys ran into. >> no, way before that way before that. bill: clinton got better treatment than george -- than bush the elder. clinton got better treatment. >> it didn't feel that way when i was there. bill: i think they annualized that. leslie, my point is that you have got kids going to school. and you overwhelmingly the teachers in america, grammar school, high school, and college, are liberal people. now, all of them don't indoctrinate the children. there are a lot of good liberal teachers who don't bring their politics to the classroom. that's true. but when you have such an imbalance in the media, and in the classroom, it's got to play out in society. and you know that you are seeing that. >> i don't think less than 40% of people claiming that they are democrats is an imbalance. and i don't think that two tapes is an imbalan

. >> joining me is the real expert on the man we just saw, former clinton white house press secretary dee dee myers, and msnbc political analyst pat buchanan. first of all, the word that jumps out at me is "conspiracy." let's take a listen to when that word was first used in '98 by -- we don't have it. the then first lady when she talked about -- i think we're the only show on television that doesn't have it. it's been playing all day today. the '98 -- it was playing all day, we know hillary was on with matt lauer, i believe after the monica story broke, and she said there was no truth to it, implied it was a confection of the right. is this good for the clintons to bring back the word "conspiracy" and "vast?" >> let's be fair. the clintons didn't bring back the word. david gregory asked the question, which included the phrase vast right wing conspiracy, and then he said, that opposition, is it still out there? >> but is it a conspiracy, or is it just a bunch of crazies out there obviously doing what they're doing, attacking his citizenship, et cetera, et cetera? >> i'm not a big cons

administration agreed to cut in spite of that, the senate voted 95-0 to send a letter to the clinton white house saying, do not even think about sending that treaty to us for ratification because we will not approve it. that is a lesson that president obama pass to have in the back of his mind. jane: , jim, thank you very much. jon: imagine 20 inches of rain. that is what fell on parts of northern georgia. take a look. it was absolutely soaked, as were many other parts of atlanta. dominican davis is in the fox weather center. are they going to get some relief? >> unfortunately not. the steady, heavy rain that we saw last week, they got a break from that over the weekend, but these isolated storms are popping up. off to the west in alabama, that is another heavy batch of whether it we still cannot rule out an additional 3 inches of rain. in some areas, we could see up to four edges of rain coming down. that is where we're looking at some of the most significant flooding. that is pushing up into the ohio valley. unfortunately, this system is really not moving anywhere. they do not have dry air tha

and then karen finny that worked on health care reform in the clinton white house, and is a friend and smarty pants. >> okay. >> i will put the protest against this president and the intensity of them in the context of the protest that you saw under reagan or george bush, images of him with devil horns and whether this is any more less than that? >> it's similar to protest that we have seen throughout history. some of the most negative and bitter health care debate back in 1993 and 1994 with clinton, and there were a lot of similar arguments being made. and the protests were hot against george w. bush. and on the one hand, the politics of policy. that's a perfectly legitimate and reasonable thing to do. and then there is the politics of personal destruction. and i think that we are seeing now too much of the politics of personal destruction. of course we have seen it before, but i think it's taken on a particular violent tone in recent weeks. >> karen finny s. the reason for that because it's easier? it's easy to go after people, but hard to fix problems? >> yeah. and the other thing t

that taylor took copious notes about his interviews with clinton and this book is written from taylor's notes. so, driving back from the white house in baltimore late at night, sometimes near the break of dawn after these long, all-night marathon sessions with clinton, taylor was recording all of his thoughts about everything that had been said, and that's the basis of taylor's book. the original tapes are still with clinton and he still has not made them public. taylor said that as a writer of this book, we have really liked to have access to those tapes but as a historian, he chose not to request them because he knew it was important or believed it was important for a president to make his own decision about his record. >> you know, will i think on the heels of discussion about monica lewinsky, so many people wonder about the interpersonal relationship between the former president and former first lady. in this "gq" interview, branch recalls being refused entry into the white house at one point during the president's impeachment trial. and why? well, according to brarmg, the doorman would not let him in because the clintons were

white house correspondent savannah guthrie joins us now from the white house. savannah, let's get right to the whole issue of missile defense. because right now, hillary clinton has said, well another, not about russia. but you had putin today saying that this was a brave and correct move by the president. it does have to be about russia. >> reporter: yeah, i mean, the white house really resists that analysis but it's pretty clear that the russians are delighted about this. not only putin's comments but medvedev says the fact that they are listening to us is an obvious signal that we should also attentatively listen to our partners, our american partners. so the stage is set for russia to cooperate more fully on iran. as i said, the white house will say that is not the reason why they decided to abandon these missile defense bases in eastern europe in favor of a different kind of missile defense strategy. but there's no question that that is one by-product of it. the russians have made no secret. they were furious about this idea. it was a bush administration idea. one that we should mention, defense secretary robert gates recommended three years ago. he now

. >> when you worked in the clinton white house, were you always nervous that your colleagues were takingnd they might leave the administration and write a book and say you as a result had to be very careful what you were saying even in the privacy of the oval office? >> yes, and, of course, some of them avoided the rush and instead of waiting to publish a book they would run out to the lawn and leak it to you, wolf, so i learned that if i had really, you know, candid advice i would have to give it in confidence alone with the president or maybe with just a very few people who i could really trust and that's a shame and i think alex is absolutely right. it sounds exactly like george w. bush. let's tell the truth, okay, but it's wrong for this guy, whoever he is, who would not be a blip on the radar screen professionally if it wasn't for george w. bush to betray that confidence. i -- i've worked there. alex is exactly right. presidents have to have a right to say silly or funny or even mean things or to be wrong or to challenge themselves. this is deeply wrong, and it's -- it's a serious p

it's a very difficult spot for the administration, because on one hand, you know, hillary clinton and the white houseey will investigate all charges of corruption. at the same time, they don't want to alienate too much hamid car dkarzai who rapier appears n who will be leading afghanistan. >> decisions coming as soon as the end of this week for redeployment, the general mcchrystal report? >> i don't know if it's as soon as late this week. we've been hearing it's going to be delayed somewhat. there's -- that's what we're hearing. it could be very different. they're saying it might go as late as this month, late this month. >> we should also say that a 34-year-old was lost. he was the father of two children. he worked regularly with the "new york times" and other news organizations and was studying for a masters degree in germany. he was only back briefly in afghanistan, returning to his fra translator role. i'm so sorry for that loss, to his family and loved ones. >>> president obama, of course, saying again today he plans to get health reform passed soon. what will he say to congress tonight? is it a

obama has got off to a weak start, but i worked in the reagan white house for many years, competed with the clinton white house for many years, and there is a lot of ups and downs in a presidency. very often, they got off to a hard start and then they get their sea legs. bill clinton had a terrible first couple of years and managed to figure out how to get himself reelected and left office, i think he embraced a lot of our ideas like a balanced budget and signed our version of welfare reform. but the point is, i'm glad we live in hope today that the values of freedom we believe in have a chance. but we only live in hope and that's why we're here, to start a movement to win that battle. it is fascinating -- that was listening to a gentleman from heritage when he said we don't want to set our grandchildren on our knees and tell them of freedom was like. i don't have any grand kids yet, but i could tell them about that right now. we have lost a striking level of freedom we enjoy it 30, 40, 50, 60 years ago. part of the practical conservative movement is about not just winning the argument for liberty,

. >> sherr: 1992, women help sweep bill clinton into the white house, and the senate boasts a recordix female members. 2008, one woman runs for president; another for vice president. actually, no one called that the year of the woman. the united nations expanded the concept to the international women's year, then requested more time with the decade for women and a series of global conferences-- 1975 mexico city, 1985 nairobi, 1995 beijing. >> if there is one message that echoes forth from this conference, let it be that human rights are women's rights and women's rights are human rights once and for all. >> sherr: each of those events laid the groundwork for the new momentum. but after all those so-called years of the woman, i'm just the teensiest bit wary about seeing today's moment in time as the final one. still, i'm full of hope, because the concept is correct-- empowering women may be our only chance. and the tactics have changed. the mantra today is not "giving" but "investing." a recognition that investing in women and their families is not only right, but will reap profits fo

. >> jake tapper who coverers the white house, also there at the capitol tonight, and jake, bill clinton had similar majorities in the house and senate when he was proposing health care reform in 1992, he couldn't get it through. >> no, and in fact, if you look at the problems president clinton foretold on that night 16 years ago this month, a lot of them came true in terms of one-third of small businesses no longer being able to afford to provide insurance for their employees and dropping coverage all together. some say that president obama over-learned the lesson of bill clinton, who was criticized for writing the bill and then giving it to congressional leaders, though bill clinton said he was told he needed to do that. and they said that president obama allowed too much ambiguity. the president admitted that this morning, that he allowed that. and today he wants to provide some clarity on the outreach to republicans. he's going to talk about medical malpractice. not talking about a major reform there in medical malpractice, but he is going to make a nod to making a compromise, a deal

think no further back than the clintons in 19923-1994 when democrats also controlled the white house as well as congress and things fell apart. my sense is that one of the real dangers in a policy, in a bill that is this enormous, it affects one sixth of president he is he is -- u.s. economy is that it could die by a thousand little changes. one change, senator baucus proposed a fee on the medical devipes manufacturers, the people who make wheelchairs, scooters, and even breast pumps. there would be an increase in the price of those items. there is a very grease -- aggressive lobbying effort to get that knocked out of the bill. you say no big deal, a few billion dollars, not that critical to health care reform but if that happens over and over and over again he -- you really lose the heart of the legislation. >> but isn't it true as president obama keeps saying that in fact they're much further down the road than president bill clinton ever got in >> yes. they have moved much more rapidly and made much more progress in terms of committee action. >> of course one of the things that ki

here to face off on the subject, democratic strategist keith boykin, who served in the white house to bill clintons. let me ask you, general mccrystal making it clear there is not a riff. but if you read between the tea leaves, there's certainly a divide between what some in the white house want and what those generals are requesting. >> well, the president is the commander in chief and it's not john boehner or anybody else. the president is the one who ultimately will make that decision. the president, i don't think, is articulating a position any different generally speaking than from what general mccrystal is saying. he's been consistent from the beginning we need more troops in the afghanistan. he supported that from the beginning. i don't think these made a decision about what he will do in response to the report that was submitted first to the defense department, before it goes to the president. i think there's some time we have to wait. >> has the president been that de definitive? he said in recent interviews it's time to look at the strategy. he has not said with certitude it's time to pu

clintons were busy doing something. what is it like upstairs in the white house today? >> they're close to their children. they've been able to spend time with them. there's the quality family time. they make time for each other. he's talked about the fact every day he makes what he calls michelle time to be with the first lady. they've got mary ann robinson, grandmother helping with the kids. things are easier and nicer for them. they're flourishing, their personal relationship as well as his presidency. >> where did the idea michelle would be a jackie-like. i mean, you have to be careful about these things. we're both men. let's not get into a gender thing. there's something spectacular as the way she's presented herself as first lady. laura bush wasn't, mindy eisenhower wasn't. >> i spent a little bit of time -- i know what you're saying. i spent time with jacqui. she was a very impressive woman. she was, you know, i think michelle is just as stylish but not, frankly, as cold and aloof and removed. jacqui always looked like a deer caught in the headlights. not so here. this is a woman people can identi

including our interview with former president bill clinton, this is an opportunity to both be tough and also pursue the engagement that the white house has talked about since president obama came into office. >> you could argue that this is president obama's first major national security challenge. i know you talked to president clinton about this. what exactly did he say? >> he talked about the very difficult choices and balancing act that this president has to carry off now including the upside of making good on the promise to engage. i think we have some of that sound. >> i always think it's a good idea, if possible, to look somebody in the eye and have a chance to have a conversation before there's a total breach. i think this is actually healthy that this has broken. >> healthy because the administration is in a position to say we want to get inspectors into this facility in a set period of time and we get resolution on some of these issues by a set period of time, a certain deadline, or we have the force behind us to take action against you. that's assuming there's been positive signs coming from russia. can the administration
