clinton's foreign policy. clinton foreign policy was not bill clinton's strong suit when he comes into office. like a lot of presidents. he had been a governor. and it's actually an interesting question. why is it that we tend to elect governors more than senators? now, i used to ask this question then obama became president and biden became president. so it's maybe seems a little less true than it once was. but by and large, there does to be something that correlates with having been governor, with having been an executive. right. you know how work with a legislature. you know how to get things done in that way. you know, sort of how to see the whole picture of of everything that is going on in the economy, in a society. but the thing you don't really know much about is at least from experience, is foreign policy. and clinton, the issues in the 1992 campaign were primary domestic issues. they were about the budget deficit. they were the stalled economy. they were about health care. and how can we get national

in all of this, william jefferson clinton has undermined the integrity. his office has brought disrepute on the presidency, has betrayed his trust as president, and has acted in a manner subversive of the rule of law and justice to the manifest injury. the people of the united states. wherefore william jefferson clinton by such conduct, warrants impeachment and trial and removal from office and disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust or profit under the united states. the is on the second article of impeachment. senators, how say you? is the respondent william jefferson clinton or not guilty? the will call the roll. mr. abraham. mr. abraham. guilty. mr. akaka. mr. akaka. not guilty. mr. allen. mr. guilty. mr. ashcroft. mr. ashcroft guilty. mr. baucus. mr.. not guilty. mr.. by. mr.. by not guilty. mr. bennett. mr. bennett. guilty. mr. biden. mr. biden not guilty. mr. bingaman. mr. bingaman. not guilty. mr. bond. mr. bond. guilty. mrs. boxer. mrs. boxer. not guilty. mr.. mr.. not guilty. mr. brown. that mr. brown back guilty. mr.. mr..

>> obama is having trouble convincing democrats to say, "i'm going to go with obama over clinton."y did not want to risk losing this election. >> i'm not asking that you take me on a leap of faith. i'm asking you to look at the evidence and the record. >> we were feeling pretty good about her prospects. but our polling showed there was this obstacle for her to prove that she could indeed be commander in chief, even though she was a woman. >> when you are attacked, you have to deck your opponents. and that is what i believe -- >> so, we were running on the fact that she was incredibly experienced, she could start this job on day one and just go. >> senator hillary clinton has more than doubled her lead over barack obama. >> we were as far as 30 points behind in the national polls. and our view was if we didn't win the first primary in iowa, there would be no chance to win the nomination. and, so, he spent more than 80 days there in 2007 -- >> can i say hello? >> meeting one-on-one and in small groups. >> are any of these people over 30? >> i'm on my way to mason city and then to sio

. >> i'm hillary clinton. >> senator hillary clinton has burst onto the campaign field. >> i'm running for president, and i'm in it to win it, with your help. >> a recent cbs news poll shows that black voters who could provide the key to winning early democratic primaries are wary of obama. >> how important is race in defining yourself? >> i am rooted in the african american community, but i'm not defined by it. i am comfortable in my racial identity, but that's not all i am. >> the stage is set for tomorrow's announcement. senator barack obama will make it official. he is in this race for president. and while he has never positioned himself as the black candidate, the question of his race is, of course, and will continue to be much discussed and debated, especially among african americans. >> you think the country's ready for a black president? >> yes. >> you don't think it's going to hold you back? >> no. you know, i think if i don't win this race, it will be because of other factors. it's going to be because i have not shown the american people a vision for where the country needs t

president biden, president clinton, members of our cabinet.icans, nearly 30 years ago, just outside in the rose garden our nation took a long overdue step to give working people and in particular working mothers the dignity, respect, and support they deserve. before then, many of us will remember working people face often impossible choices. impossible choices. the choice either to take care of a loved one or keep a job. the choice either to protect one's health or protect their livelihood. but thanks to the family and medical leave act millions of americans since then have been spared these false choices. everyone here understands the importance of being able to care for the people we love it. on a personal note when i was district attorney of san francisco my mother was diagnosed with cancer. and i spent many hours with her at the hospital and driving her to and from chemotherapy appointments. fortunately however, i had the type of job than i could take the time i needed to be with my mother. but far too many others cannot. and let us be cle

-- [laughter] andad a partner to the presiden, hillary clinton.ause] and the work of president clinton andnd what he did to inspire his entire administration was the work that then went on to include an administration that created the child tax credit -- [applause] which has lifted millions of children out ofre poverty, an administration that expanded the head start program -- [cheers and applause] and helped generations of children reach their incredible potential. annc administration that signed the violence existence women aco law. [cheers and applause] we want to thank joe biden -- [laughter] they've been on this stage together -- [laughter] and an administration led by a president withre an unwavering commitment to the workers and to the families of our great nation. please, join me in welcoming president william jefferson clinton. [cheers and applause] >> thank you. thank you very much. [applause] somewhere i'm supposed to have some notes here. [laughter] these are president biden's notes. >> you can deliver mine. >> why don't i just give yo

he had no interest in dealing with clinton. clinton felt insulted and rebuffed.dn't want to have anything to do with clinton. >> if mr. clinton was hoping for a foreign policy triumph, he won't get it here. >> narrator: later that day, clinton received a warmer reception from putin's mentor, boris yeltsin. and he issued a warning about the new russian president. >> bill clinton looked hard into yeltsin's eyes and said, "i'm a little bit concerned about this young man "that you have turned over the presidency to. he doesn't have democracy in his heart." and he reached over and poked him in his heart. and i will never forget the, the expression that came over yeltsin. i think it really shook yeltsin a bit. >> ...vladimir vladimirovich putin. >> narrator: but in front of the cameras, clinton walked a careful line, not revealing his concerns about putin. >> if you want to know what my personal assessment is, i think he is fully capable of building a prosperous, strong russia, while preserving freedom and pluralism and the rule of law. it's a big challenge. i think he

i negotiated directly with president clinton. i didn't negotiate with anybody else. he should be very pleasant, very calm. when it's possible, we should cooperate, but we should not compromise any of our core values, and we should accept that tension c is inevitable whn you have a hard-left of president surrounded by hard-left advisers doing things that we regard as crazy. and when you understand that they have the same attitude towards us, well, you're not going to go to a tea party and make friends. but you can get a lot of work done. clinton and i met 35 days in order to get to the balanced budget. and it was tough. but it was pleasant. i don't know that biden can be pleasant the way bill could, but bill clinton was actually a very pleasant guy to deal with. you can, you know, you couldn't trust him very much, but he was, he would sit in the room, we'd have good conversations, we'd work our way through issues, and we got a lot done. if you go back and look at how much we got done in four years, it was pretty amazing. and it's because we both understood a key thing

who bill clinton uses his story. turn his personal a personal story he created into an account that scores for his political party. okay. so so clinton takes this this moment not unlike the reagan moment of unity as certifiable hero, someone who raced into to the oklahoma city building. it was it was being turned into rubble to rescue people on multiple occasions. and then he uses to make a political argument about not shutting down the government. right now. that's very. right. so if we had watched of the applause here, what you would have is behind clinton. this address is republicans speaker of the house newt gingrich, lots of republican controlled republicans controlled the house and senate in 1996. you'd seen that moment where one party stands wildly to applaud while another party sits grimly. now clinton scored here that that he he he scored politically. right. and so we start to see that the address, the lure of politics is too great for presidents. this is wilson's small c constitutional presidency. it is des

your earlier, clinton suffered his first -- years earlier, clinton suffered his first defeat. at his wedding reception he announced he would run for political office again. he held to his word with elected arkansas's attorney general. in 1978 he became the youngest arkansas governor elected and for decades. he lost the reelection bid in 1980 and reportedly wept. on the campaign trail in 1983, he quoted -- he said he made a young man's mistake. voters elected him for three consecutive terms from 1983 until he ran for president in 1992. his presidential campaign was plagued by rumors of marital infidelity, reported attempts to avoid the vietnam draft and a loss in the new hampshire primary. his ability to sustain blows lead the press to nickname him the comeback kid. on november 3, 1990 two, clinton received the largest number of popular votes in any democratic candidate in history. he was sworn into the first of two terms, january 20, 1993. the economy was low with unemployment. and interest rates were healthy. the council's name during his first term to investigate investigati

is hillary clinton thinking about coming back into play in 2024? >> god forbid. please hillary, do not run again. the last thing we need another hillary-trump matchup. they sense kamala's weakness. they know she's not good at the job, they know her own staffers are starting to turn against her. they are trying to get rid of her so she doesn't take biden's chance at 2024 election. maria: this is from the new york times, brandon, basically the new york times talking about top democrats questioning vice president harris' capabilities and clinton dismissing harris and clearing presidential field because she lacks, quote, what hillary says the necessary political instincts. two democrats recall private conversations in which hillary clinton lamented that harris could not win because she does not have the political instincts to clear a primary field. the new york times reported, brandon. now you have the new york times turning on kamala. that's bad. >> i tend to agree with them. if biden does not opt the run, i agree with you, unlikely that he does, kamala does not cle

as the article says, old clinton history told from tales by ex slaves.linton, you don't hear a lot about our history. a lot of times i like to think our elders have tended to just discuss things them amongst themselves, as opposed to bringing it to the forefront. because they can stir up a lot of emotions. >> and what's the result of stirring up emotions? >> you get a lot of good, and you get some bad. >> what's bad? >> the fact that somebody could vandalize it if you put up anything. >> i just hope that doesn't happen in clinton. there's still a lot of racist attitudes. >> there are some that, and i'm thinking about missy. when i first met missy, she said, the first word that came out of her mouth was nigger. and her parents were so proud of her. when she said that word, because that myth that you knew you were in superior to somebody else. >> you've been so dedicated so long, you've dedicated so much care in time and effort to this. why do you care about this? >> i'm gonna get emotional. but i grew up in a family in mississippi. my dad was from new yor

and you were on president clinton's trip to beijing and. there was a press conference. what happened? well it was really a rumor cabal visit, all in all, because it was one of those times in chinese political history when things were really loosening up and there was a lot more open political discussion about all sorts topics and we our side president clinton, the first lady, had really pushed hard to. have the for us to speak to the chinese public. and so we wanted press conference to televised to the public and also for the press clinton's speech to the students at beijing university to be televised live to the public and the chinese side. both of those things and at the press corps and which is from today's view when nothing like that could occur today, it just makes you realize how things go up and, down. and right now they've gone down. but in the press conference, president clinton said things in way were urging dialog the dalai lama on the issue. president clinton's said you know to president jiang, you know you really should meet with the dalai lama. you would r

bush, will mum mcgurn and for president clinton david, gentlemen, welcome.o, david, let's start with you. what are the challenges for the biden speech writing team heading into tuesday night? >> well, i think one line almost writes itself. i would think that any speech writer or any president would be proud to say that we've created an n the last month more than half a million new jobs and we have the lowest unemployment rate in more than half a century. i think that that's a starting point along with reporting on the balloon and i think the challenge then is to say that while we have created new jobs the country still has a big job to do and talk about whether we will take to create good-paying jobs with rising wages for people all across this country including the people in the communities that have been left out and left behind. mike: bill, same question to you and can you avoid making it a laundry list speech? >> you know, every year i think speech writers vow that it's not going to be a laundry list and every year it is a laundry list except maybe when

clinton's democrats took a shellacking in their midterms. then a republican sitting over the president's shoulder, speaker for the first time since 1956. and, yes, this is where political scientists say clinton really began his successful run for re-election, a second term. we don't know if biden is running for a second term, but he has done a good job with the economy, lowest unemployment rate in 60 years, job growth, wage growth, and inflation is coming down. here's the president on friday. >> today i'm happy to report that the state of the union and the state of our economy is strong. we learned this morning that the economy has created 517,000 jobs just last month. more than half a million jobs in just the month of january. >> now, we haven't seen the speech, but the to when you say does brief us on themes in the speech. no doubt we'll talk about it before and after. one for the white house is the economy. we've touched on that. two, working together, bipartisanship. he's talk about american pride, something both sides can agree on, and

so i've used the libraries, the clinton library, the george w. bush library or at least their papers a couple different ways. one is we have these for better or for worse political dynasties at the moment, right? you have the clinton dynasty, the bush dynasty, the, i don't know if you call trump a dynasty, but he may have departed and now trying to come back on the political scene so that provide for reporters all kinds of opportunities to revisit things that were historical and were considered, i think, in the history box, but suddenly are news worthy again. so that's the context in which some of this reporting i've done is going back to records, for example, from the clinton library when, you know, hillary clinton was running for president looking again at some of her activities there. you know, it's very much a mixed bag, would be my overall verdict on the situation. there are good nuggets sitting there to be had when these matters become news worthy, but i with describe the overall process in my view as highly dysfunctional. and it's somewhat

bill clinton is 76 years old now, and john, this is not clinton's first trip to the biden white househite house in may for a lunch of last year, but he is speaking live and we just wanted to sort of dip in and show our viewers that this was happening, and bill clinton is going to continue speaking for another couple minutes at the white house. john. >> john: i bet that he finds it quite familiar there, let's see how long it takes him to walk out the front door. >> sandra: the crowd seems to be enjoying his remarks that were supposed to go 2 to 3 minutes, according to notes from the white house. he has exceeded that so far. >> john: gee, a big surprise. i covered the last two years of his presidency, it was an interesting ride. a college board meant to prepare high school students for the next level is doing an about face on the curriculum for one a.p. course after florida governor ron desantis complained of woke content. phil keating is live in miami and the latest on this. criticism of the governor only seems to be getting louder about this. >> absolutely, john. just yesterday, last

if it is colin powell or hillary clinton or republican officials during the george w.ush administration or donald trump and joe biden walking off with records that belong to the american people, and all of these cases we find public officials are contemptuous or at least neglectful of their legal responsibility to keep a record. it is the most basic responsibility all but more and more we see officials not respecting that responsibility. host: now we have spent some time outlining the scope of the problem, this book is about you and your colleague's attempt to get a handle on this through the use of data. it is a project called the history lab and declassification engine that you have built. tell me about it. guest: it is a platform where we have aggregated as many declassified documents as we can get our hands on. we are approaching 5 million records, mainly united states records especially from the state department, the pentagon, central intelligence agency but we are collecting records of international organizations and alliances like nato, u.n.'s secretary general,
