clinton: in a heartbeat. the highest calling of mankind i always thought was private equity. but you would say that -- [laughter] david: you say being president of the united states is better than equity? mr. clinton: i don't know. mr. bush: we make $200,000 a year in pension. what do you make? [laughter] david: money isn't everything. but yes. [laughter] mr. clinton: if we could say one serious thing, there are a lot of really big questions floating out there. a mexican multibillionaire is a really smart guy, gave a speech during the campaign. the campaign being what it was, obviously nobody was interested in asking about it, but he said , i believe this will be the first technological revolution that will kill more jobs than it creates. and therefore, i believe we will either have to have people with money pay even higher taxes to just subsidize people living who don't, or the richest countries are going to have to start planning first for a four-day , and ultimately, for a three-day workweek because of aut

clinton: thank you all. thrill of living well is in the pursuit, the pursuit of the rarest experiences, the pursuit of the finest products, the pursuit of quality in everything you do. and in all of these pursuits, you need the best intelligence to make the best decisions. >> we know that she sells for a lot, but what makes her important? >> it isn't easy. it is difficult work. >> welcome to "bloomberg pursuits," where you find information that helps you to follow your inspiration. utility meets luxury in three new suvs. master the offbeat etiquette of eating ramen.

clinton: actually, it is wonderful. i've had almost -- very rarely in 17 years have i even given a thought to -- i wish i were there, i could do this, or i miss this. i think you have to be grateful for the time you have and then realize you should focus on today and the future. and i think it is both liberating and also it concentrates the memory. you don't know how many years you have left, but you feel that the country has given you something priceless and you owe something back. and so, each in our own way, we have tried to figure that out. i have found it a really rewarding part of my life. i have loved it. mr. bush: i woke up in crawford the day after the presidency expecting someone to bring me the coffee. mr. bush: laura didn't bring the coffee. i think the thing that startled me was the sense of having no responsibility. in other words, during the presidency you kind of become accustomed to the responsibility you have. first it is pretty grave, and then slowly but surely it becomes a natural part of your life.

e-mails where one of the one of the people in the clinton campaign or the d.n.c. states that he has debbie wasserman schultz's i pad password so not only did he store or not only did he and his associates store congressional data from house democrats on an outside server but he also had access to debbie wassermann schultz password theoretically he could have accessed the d.n.c. servers so we have a situation here where u.s. foreign policy is being dictated by a third party tech firm and crowd strike and then you have an ongoing capitol police and f.b.i. probe of one who had access to d.n.c. servers through debbie wasserman schultz so this is a deep seated hatred of cybersecurity for the democratic party. and the potential for national security issues is overwhelming alex its c.e.o. it seems to me that the democrats just have a really bad relationship with technology i mean here we have this i.t. aide and he left his house and run it to some of someone in the military and they have all these you know smashed hard drives i mean the clinton people smashing on i pads

bannon's answer was bring out clinton accusers, accuse bill clinton and hillary clinton of having committed and enabled sexual violence and it will be such a circus, such a display the cable news cameras or race to cover it and what is on tv? is that access hollywood? may be a little bit but that is not the only story, muddy the waters, create controversy and have a guy like trump who went in during the second debate and attacked clinton to her face for this very thing and we as the media are in a difficult position was on one level we know what they are doing, trying to muddy the waters and cause misdirection. on the other hand the republican candidate is saying this in a presidential debate, we have got to cover it. it creates real problems. today's news, trump's and sweet that he is banning transgender soldiers serving in the military is classic example of bannon's psychological warfare. everything on tv has been trump attacking jeff sessions, he hates it, trump himself is unable to control himself or stop himself, someone got in his ear and said these lefties and their loose social more

as far as that goes i think that hillary clinton. earlier cartmell comments hillary clinton was chosen way before two thousand and fourteen so she's chosen right after she lost to barack obama and her coronation we thought was inevitable in two thousand and sixteen that changed because hillary clinton was overconfident and the democratic party was also arrogant and overcontrol it's good to go back to seattle and i think that because i think that they were they were the media and the establishment parties particularly the democrats they just talk to themselves they have it's group think in their in their room everybody has the same values it looks down upon conservatives who look down upon the flyovers states they look down on religion they look down on the nucular family that's why i go ahead zach well and that's. that's a really good point but it's not it's gaslighting it's basically them trying to make it seem like it's fine that we've got someone like hillary clinton just rig the primary with barack obama's blessing in front of us

rob did you what were you directed by the clinton campaign or by the d.n.c. to write those pieces about hillary clinton back in the day before anyone had vote in the primary election. i listened to three people me myself and i that's this ok but all say this and i said no it was just really i was just saying one thing at times and then read thing i said about donald trump well the media has the problem it's not a right or left you don't have the media is one big the media is one big entity that gets paid to deceive the voters so it doesn't really matter right or left republican or democrat listen let me let me. take the orders and let me look at r.t.c. or go ahead rob go ahead i want to be fair i think i think donald trump donald trump theoretically understood what the voters wanted which is why he was elected i think i don't think there was voter there there was acting in. hillary didn't get it the democrats missed the boat so to the right people were upset they wanted to see the swarm drain that's not going to happen because we have the guard to shoot opera

now nothing there is clinton could do to stop. so i will stop there in the answer questions. >> please? questions will take political speeches later. [laughter] >> does he have the political chops? is he the kind of guy that could go into a room with real politicians and make deals?. >> what bannon has is a personal charisma you don't get from the public portrayal with that dark - - earth cater field but with investment of goldman sachs he is almost a caricature of a wall street banker type talks a mile a minute and vaguely sexes did very smart and very funny but very often male and while i was surprised he was named to the trump campaign but it made a lot of sense that the two of them would connect if you are a wellesley glad -- graduate he is not your cup of tea. [laughter] but if you eat steak and the york city real-estate developer and want to be the of the mail that is exactly flow you connect with that is the power he has it isn't a political but more personal. >> i was fascinated by the research institute as a possible mode

hillary clinton lost this thing?rsation about what could have been, live look here in reno, nevada. live pictures of president trump on the tarmac greeting supporters, waving to the crowd. that's ahead of his speech at the american legion. >> craig, it was one of the biggest upsets in american history. and i think one of the reasons that i ended up undertaking this project was, i wanted to understand what went on. and for those of us who were looking at every single day at the polls, this is true for the public polls, the internal clinton and trump polls. all showed that hillary clinton was in the driver's seat. there are no certainties in american politics, but she was the person you would rather be than him. and he ended up winning. so i think it's important to kind of look to see what ended up occurring. and to me, those last 12 days really did take a race that was almost out of reach into one that donald trump maybe only needed to kick a 50-yard field goal, but it would have been a 65-yard field goal had the elec

hillary clinton, the private email server, we also know that clinton deleted 33,000 emails and acid washed her computers with bleach. and then she smashed mobile devices. of course, the lawyers did turn over blackberries to the fbi, but they didn't have some cards. the real russia collusion story, the uranium one deal, which i predict will be the biggest news to come out in the next year or two. secretary of state, she approved handing over up to 20% of americas uranium, the foundational material of nuclear weapons, to vladimir putin and the russians. all while people involved in the deal kicked back over $145 million to the clinton foundation. bill clinton doubled his speaking fees in moscow. then, james comey, testifying under oath that he had a friend leaking comments to "the new york times," some of which were classified as we are told. government information, he's not allowed to do it. that could be a crime also. he may have violated the law, and that could be a violation of the espionage act. also, he admitted before congress, yes, the former attorney general loretta lynch pressured

lurking near clinton to rattle her.e second debate when trump was lurking overtime. the moment she says made her skin crawl and put her on the brink of telling him back up you creep. as promised, here is the man that played donald trump. he's advised clinton in several roles of her 15 years and worked on the 2000 gore campaign. you were the guest everyone wanted today. thanks for coming on the beat. >> thank you for having me. >> this book, of course, discusses why clinton lost. also winning more votes than trump. there's several kacandidates wh made it to the white house with margins of a few hundred thousands votes. clinton winning 2.9 million more votes as the first woman nominee. how do you explain such wide popular support on a way to a loss? >> the loss wasn't just the 2.9 million in terms of beating him on the popular vote. it was also the simple fact that she also garnered more votes than anyone other than president obama in a general election. to answer your question i think we become the 50/50 nation. if you l

, her e-mail scandals, clinton foundation, transfer of 20% of u.s. urainium assets to a russian owned entity. and pay for play to bill clinton, while his wife was making decisions that were heavily in the favor of the russians. >> no doubt, i was talking to -- today, we have to go to the russian now for uranium for our own nuclear plants, it is insane. that is an out growth of corruption that we're talking about. you need to have separate counsel looking at this. lou: do you find it amazing that republican leadership again, mitch mcconnell, the leader in senate, and paul ryan, the speaker in the house, they have not even suggested that they would be curious about the possibilities of collusion between the clintons and the russians, even though that evidence and path is vividly clear to all who look. >> two reasons, one of two, first they could be part of it, i'm not puts it past those guys of having some level of contact with the clintons and were ready to give them a pass snoo pass. lou: are you talking ryan and mcconnell or russia. >> no the fact t

he was on the precipice of exonerating hillary clinton without interviewing hillary clinton or anyone i want to move on to tax reform. look at this new fox news poll that just came out with regards to do americans believe congress can pass thanks reform. 71% said no they won't get it done. can we agree congress isn't very well liked? >> i think they are above the single digit popularity they were in the polls last kennedy: new threats of all-out war from north korea. can our missile defense systems protect us? grab your bikini, time to jump in. with the president's well-received response to the harvey crisis. there is an urgency to pass an aid

it goes back decades to the clinton administration. at this is something the district from media will never tell you. unfortunately, tonight i can say with full confidence -- sadly, there's no good option. that is tonight's chilling opening monologue. tonight, one of them my biggest fears has now come true. north korea has reportedly developed a nuclear warhead that is capable of reaching the continental united states. this threat will now become a defining issue for the trump administration. it's so very important. we've got to learn and understand how we got here. if we don't learn from the lessons of history, we are doomed to repeat them. it was go back to 1994, the clinton administration struck a deal with kim jong un's father, kim jong il. according to "the new york times," the u.s. agreed to give north korea over $4 billion in energy aid over the course of the decade in exchange for north korea freezing and eventually ending their nuclear weapons program. as part of the agreement, north korea would allow inspectors into its nucle
