i have two experiences from my clinton years about this. one is i'm gravely concerned about how this will impact the country. there are a lot of americans who will honestly believe it is an entire set up. something i learned from bill clinton is to watch for the people who don't vote for you, too. my other experience is i know how much it matters who is on the inside of the white house. there were probably four moments that stand out at a time where it could have gone the other way for clinton. i don't think he's ever in danger of getting convicted in the u.s. senate, but was definitely danger -- in danger of democrats. we can get wobbly on supporting our own people. the day of the impeachment itself. david was a staff person on the hill this is when bob resigned , as speaker. on that day, he resigned because he was caught having an affair with a lobbyist. we were terrified in the clinton white house that it would be a cascade. it was quick decision-making on the part of the staff and president on how to handle it. politics in prison of --

some folks who worked at x 10, or clinton, later would be called clinton labs, actually warehouse in scarborough school by dupont, who got permission to use that to house the folks so they would not have to commute so far. here ago -- here we go. after victory here is a statement by harry truman on a day when he announced the manhattan project. to the general public. three bombs were made but one was used at trinity, two were used in japan. $2 billion was spent by the end of that year. six to 4% of that in oak ridge. -- 64% in oak ridge. graphite piles stopped sending plutonium to loss alamosa. y 12alpha particles of were shut down. sentocessing of y 12 were down. both nationally and locally. who should control the bomb? what is the difference between the bomb and atomic energy? there were budget issues, contractor issues, mission changes for the facilities that served our nation is part of the manhattan project. and congress was also involved in the search for spies. looking at our friends. i got to enthusiastic. we're looking at the trinity cattle. i heard up hereford as large as 3

thank you so much, secretary clinton, for being back with us at georgetown. we are so grateful to you for your support of the institute as our honorary founding chair and for your continuing inspiration. it is particularly significant to have you here this day with this focus on human rights because we are on the threshold of the 25th anniversary of the world conference on women, 25 years ago. and women's rights are human rights, still ago around the world and remind us of that imperative and thanks to the women's conference, women's rights were chiseled into international human rights law. let me add my welcome to each of you as we come together to recognize and celebrate women's leadership in advancing human rights, justice, and peace. a very special welcome to the family and friends of our honorees.

bush voted for hillary clinton. barbara bush didn't like hillary clinton much either. and so barbara bush wrote in jeb bush's name for president. it says something about the couple that helped establish the g.o.p. in the state, neither of them voted for the republican president or candidate in the last election of their lives. the other thing is, we talked about probably the accomplishment of george herbert walker bush that he will get the biggest place in the history books for guiding, not just this country but the whole world through the end of the cold war. i mean, he was so sure footed. he was also -- he had these relationships. the president talks about america first. george bush had relationships with the key players that went back decades. envoy to china. head of the c.i.a. do you think that this kind of internationalist strain of the republican party still exists or has donald trump taken it to a different place? >> well, he's the leader of the party so he does define foreign policy. republicans don't have to agree on every single issue there is. if you look ba

they didn't want the clinton machine.wanted the human tornado to go into the china shop and break a bunch of stuff and expose what's going on. he speaks differently than other presidents and people want to take him one way or another based on that. so she's half right. but the corruption piece, for her to say that, she should just do her thing, so her book with her daughter. but if if you want the democras did when back in 2020, she shouldn't -- >> dagen: i will let just get in here. her lecturing people about corruption is like me giving folk lesson in diction. [b3 your diction is great ! >> dagen: not really! >> jessica: i take issue with the accusation that she is the correct one here. many of the things donald trump accused her of, factually, the stuff that she's done, he had a fig university, for instance. he had a fake charity. the clinton foundation has a letter a rating is it a point of maturity to make money? >> pete: the number of donations they achieve -- >> jessica: listens, accusations against the clintons fo

when president clinton wased, there was a bipartisan impeachment. right. there were members of both arties who did it. can this go forward? >> barely. [indiscernible] >> i would make both a principled argument and a political argument related to this. impeachment is a very difficult thing to do. .ot difficult for the country the problem we have today, when we look at this, is between two elections, between the presidential election and the next presidential election, the only manner that exists right now to hold the president accountable is impeachment. because we have now accepted or people have accepted, i would i think is ridiculous, the fact that a president can't be indicted, which has only been created by people who wanted to protect president. it was written for nixon, rewritten for clinton, bush revised it, and it was all -- and then trump's white house has again reiterated it. so if a president can't be indicted, and a president can claim expect teve privilege on almost just about anything now, and a republican party which refuses to put guard rai

here we are at clinton labs. employment for all of clinton labs, for dupont, 1947, that includes some of the dupont people stationed there, special engineer detachment, that in 1947.2000 staff, dupont was a designer. university of chicago the manager. employment total during the manhattan project was 1500. but that included some of the people who came from hanford for training. total people that were part of the actual clinton engineer works program for that time was about 1250. the university of chicago withdrew shortly before the end of the war, succeeded by dupont. the announcement of appeared ins that june 14, 1946 issue of "science,' saying, great things are being developed at the graphite pile, here's how you can get a hold of them. so dupont decided to leave. the university of chicago was interested, sort of. became clinton's national labs early in 1947, and then oak ridge national labs in 1948. they used a lot of buildings at y-12. aec wanted to give the reactor work to argon. but there were protests by l

this is hillary clinton tweeting this morning. she weighed in. >> look, she's been saying variations of this for a couple years now. hasn't moved on from the last election. those tweets feed in the president's narrative that a lot of democrats are upset about the last election and not looking to the next one. lindsey graham said something interesting on "hannity." nancy pelosi was holding back. then she jumped ahead without the transcript: why? political pressure from aoc on the left. and a lindsey graham saying, him, not me, that nancy pelosi has made the political calculation that she can't beat the president at the ballot box. the democratic field is too weak. elizabeth warren is too far left. but graham saying this is saying they can't beat them at the ballot box and they want to take him out of the office. there's not enough senate votes to remove him today. >> dana: and you remember when it backfired on republicans and clinton. it was the same time of year that impeachment articles were put forward in september and had it go

and the hillary clinton scandal involving the email server and the clinton foundation.hat should we think about those in terms of barack obama's conduct in the presidency? james: the charges of misconduct, all of which i think proved to be without much of a basis, caught an eight year administration up in unceasing defensiveness. the irs, if i understand it as fully as i should, it was a misperception on the part of the president's opponents as to what happened. it was just a bad contract. fast and furious -- i am not certain we have ever learned the truth about that. the thing is that these were not corrupt and if they were contrary to law, the administration at its highest levels was not caught up with it. susan: let us listen to barack obama on november 14, defending himself on benghazi. president obama: people do not think we did everything we could to be sure that we saved the lives of the folks that i sent there and who were carrying out missions on behalf of the united states. then you do not know how our defense department thinks or our state department thinks o

it's quite interesting, some of the shock and despair in this phone call by mr clinton.s clinton asked the prime minister, what the uk electorate thought about ireland and the common smoker sounds like major was quite dismissive about what the average person thinks about the irish situation. that is not quite outcomes across but it sounds either. equally, mr clinton says the average american doesn't really care about us foreign policy, what happens outside. 0n the rounds, it sounds little bit shocking but in reality most ordinary people in countries are not interested in the domestic situation was not most people here, ireland isjust another island, they don't have —— that are killed happens in the world was a mr clinton echoing those thoughts.“ anything change the centre 95? do people go but what is going on outside the country?” people go but what is going on outside the country? i don't think they do. a country as close as ireland, most people don't visit. most people are naturally interested in their own lives, so not so interested in foreign policy. i'll tell you wh

a ministration during the impeachment of president clinton. ton. i'm sure it's a little bit of ptsd, right? >> this is fine. >> you're ok with this one? ok. [laughter] >> is jolly right about this that there are obvious ways forward here for the house and maybe the senate on the basis of what we saw last week? >> yeah, i think it is -- you know, i seems unlikely that the senate will vote to convict him. but i think you cannot -- we don't know. that you can know what dynamic it set off when the country does get exposed to the arguments of the democrats will make. and you know, they have, you know, the speaker has said that she will -- that this is going to be limbed to ukraine. that they're not bringing in -- they're not bringing in the stuff from 2016. to david's point that could limit your able to make so progress in the senate. i understand why they're doing that. >> the senate is less likely to be receptive to impeachment in the mueller rem. but might be more likely because of this as a present issue. >> if you're -- you're limiting -- if y

>> i agree we are in bill clinton territory.enate so it might go to the house but the senate might not impeach. the markets like the rest of america, i agree with bill. i don't think speed should be the way the democrats proceed here. the the -- federal court decisin and we will see whether absolute immunity -- >> neil: it gets rushed. >> it's a trial at the end of the day, the documents. they need the federal courts behind them. >> meanwhile they're going to have a difficult task to keep the focus on trump and not let it be the main focus where it's biden so it hurts biden in his primary. >> neil: but it might have already done that. >> it may have but if they keep it front and center with trump, maybe they can let it go by the wayside. >> if it hurts biden, markets are going to go down. markets do not like the wealth tax conversation. markets do not like the wall street tax conversation. markets don't like the socialism conversation. if you knock biden out, he's the most moderate. >> neil: if that means elizabeth warren emerge

it narrowly supported clinton in 2016.w hope, a democratic strong hold, many voters here say impeachment, about time. >> show people that president can't do these things and just get away with it. >> i think that democrats need to show some spine. i think that it is a good way of showing power and what is right and doing everything by law. >> amiguel marquez report. who's dog is this? it's my special friend, antonio. his luxurious fur calms my nerves when i'm worried about moving into our new apartment. why don't we just ask geico for help with renters insurance? i didn't know geico helps with renters insurance. yeah, and we could save a bunch too. antonio! fetch computer! antonio? i'll get it. get to know geico and see how much you could save on renters insurance. with truecar, to sell just enter your license plate and see your car's value in real time. sports package and low mileage? nice. within minutes, you'll have a true cash offer, and you can head to a dealership and get paid, today, right now. juul record. they too

the clinton web always gets woven tighter and tighter.nd speaking of the fbis and hillary clinton, new emails and covered by citizens responsibility and ethics in washington show just how much the fbi was scrambling with the fallout from the 2016 clinton investigation. now the emails specifically shows a concerted effort by a former deputy director andrew mccabe to work with the process and reveal internal fbi deliberations surrounding the former secretary of state. here now is former counsel fox news contributor ken starr.. it seems the fbi, mccabe specifically, spent more time trying to clean up their conflicts than actually pursuing wrongdoing here. >> yeah. sort of a lack of focus on what's really important as the save your skin, do what you need to do to preserve your job or whatever but that's right from the kiev's own which we now have. we see now that he was scurrying around, in fact he said he spent the better part of the day working at "the wall street journal" trying to shape the story and so forth instead of doing what the fbi

andrew jackson and bill clinton. but both were eventually acquitted by the senate.di kaye takes a look back at clinton's impeachment and the lessons we can learn today. >> what began as a search for evidence in the paula jones sexual harassment case has mushroomed into another investigation of the president and his personal conduct. >> reporter: personal conduct by president bill clinton with a white house intern. >> the white house has started to receive subpoenas from the independent counsel kenneth starr seeking all the records involving monica lewinsky. >> reporter: during a deposition in the paula jones lawsuit clinton was questioned about an extra marital affair with lewinsky and denied it later with reporters. >> i did not have sexual relations with that woman miss lewinsky. >> reporter: the first lady suggested it was all some sort of conspiracy. >> this vast white ring conspiracy that has been conspiring against my husband isn't the day he announced for president. >> reporter: seven months later clinton admitted he did have a relationship with lewinsky. >>

clinton. you have experience on the inside. i'm sure it's ptsd. you are ok with this? [laughter] >> is jolley right about this? there are ways forward here for the house, may be the senate on the base of what we saw in the west wing? >> it seems unlikely the senate will vote to convict him. we don't know that. you can't know what dynamic is set off when the country gets exposed to the arguments the democrats will make. said this will be limited to ukraine, they are not bringing in the stuff from 2016. ability tolimit your make some progress in the senate, if you limit yourself. >> senate is less likely to be resized with two impeachment -- receptive to impeachment, but more likely because it is the present issue. >> if you limit it to ukraine, which if i were in the position, it's what i would do, in terms of rallying the country behind impeachment. also, not dividing the country further. i understand why they are going to that. you could limit your options in the senate. probably limiting how

just two decades ago and above all house impeachment manager during clinton's trial, joining us nowthank you so much for joining us, we certainly want your insight this morning. >> well, i think it's dangerous to draw too many parallels because every situation is very different and you have to look at 1998 in the middle of impeachment and in off year election you had looked at particular district to see what impact it had and the impact overall in congressional race was not that profound, what was important, though, is the ability of president clinton at the time to spin the impeachment largely to his advantage and with the current economy doing as well as it is if that continues and that's a big if, i think the same thing will happen to president trump, it will work to his advantage with independent voters. >> yeah, let's take a couple of things that back up what you just said, when impeachment proceedings began for then president bill clinton, overall approval rating was at 68%, that's one of the highest during his tenure and then you talk about markets and the economy, markets ro

you think about clinton with the clinton fun picky think about george w. bush with his own think tank in dallas, turning a policy proposals trying to influence policy. think about barack obama writing books. they are all in some way following the nixon model. nixon didn't have the option of retiring. he wanted to remain active. he told john taylor during this period that had remain active for his own health. and to keep his mind as sharp as he wanted it to be. he spent years writing book after book on his main area of expertise, foreign policy. and he a trusted advisor and confidant to three presidents. he doesn't just write books. he writes books that matter, books that people read, and people absorb and they pay attention to. he didn't just say something. yet something important to say when you've you for writing ths and when he was speaking. and he showed through this process he still had an important role to play as an outside counsel. ronald reagan read the real war in 1980. it was a spider bite. it confirmed his own view of the soviet union. he carri

nixon impeachment there's no internet but certainly clinton.er the house impeached him, 73% approval rating because he was a one-party impeachment. should backfire on pelosi and democrats because if you look at polls, i know you do, impeachment is not all that popular with the overall electorate? >> they would be led by polls not just their own but others that they see and as you know we have an awful lot of polling, if the public responds negatively they want to be with that because it's reflected in their ratings, so they maybe reluctant about it but i think they will follow public opinion if that's what happens. howie: so it seems to me that, you know, by pelosi authorizing because she was the one holding all of this back, pelosi authorizing impeachment inquiry, isn't she pretty much committed to having a vote and pretty obvious that any articles of impeachment would pass and if you're suggesting that if the public turns against this and the media starts to show skepticism they might pull back and not actually carry through with the impeachm

that's been a strategy that we saw during the clinton impeachment. that of course was the strategy that democrats used towards the republican congress. so they're flipping the script. they think that was effective. they think that could work this time around. as you know, president trump thinks he's own best messager. we have seen that play out in tweet storms throughout the weekend. he's taking sharp aim at the whistle-blower and adam schiff. the president tweeted adam schiff illegally made up a fake and terrible statement pretended to be mine as the most part part of my call to the ukrainian president and read it aloud to congress and the american people. arrest for treason. so that is some serious language to accuse the house intelligence committee chairman of, hallie, but it underscores the war of words i think we are going to witness moving forward. this is a president who pays close attention to polls and according to the latest cbc news, an online poll, a majority of americans support opening this impeachment inquiry, but we want to just have

i, william jefferson clinton, do solemnly swear. - i, william jefferson clinton, do solemnly swear. - bill clinton had been elected president, so it was the first off year election where democrats controlled all of government, what, probably since jimmy carter. - but the voters were not happy from the beginning of 1993 because it turns out, when clinton's talking about his economic plan, he's talking about a gigantic tax increase, and then some other policies, like his midnight basketball for convicts and things like that were not popular. - bob michel announces he's retiring at the end of 1994. newt's the number two republican in the house party, so he becomes the heir apparent pretty fast. michel basically turns it over to newt. you're gonna be the next leader, you know, you work on this. retreats, planning process, all of that, so newt takes that over, and that's where the contract came out. but it's not really something yoyou want to buy.. so newt takes that over, it's not sexy... oh delicious. or delicious... or fun. ♪ but since you need both car and home insurance, why not bundl

that is a collusion they claim happened in ukraine and it happened in ukraine and hillary clinton andeorge thoos company was funding? >> you accept it's not true? >> i accept it is true. >> it is based on hearsay and we will not impeach a president on hearsay. this is a sham. this is a political smell to this. >> well, they had a lot to say but the democratic chairman of the house intelligence committee isn't buying it. adam schiff is defending the inquiry and says the whistle-blower is planning to testify. listen. >> all that needs to be done at this point is to make sure that the attorneys that represent the whistle-blower get the clearance thats they need to be able to accompany the whistle-blower to testimony and that we figure out the logistics to protect the identity of the whistle-blower and our concern here. a breach of the president's duty of the country that endangers our security and he has got to be worried about his own security right now with the president issuing threats like he did the other day. >> the u.s. president let the fingers do the talking on twitter there. he

the kicker, this was all said to be hillary clinton's own idea. guest recalls being on the receiving end of one of these calls. he is a syndicated radio talk show larson. >> perez, i have to tell you, it's great to be back with you. we would get a phone call, and it would be an odd call. perhaps a weird area code windows would be meaningful. and then they would talk about it subject that may have not have been what we were talking about. then the next hour we would get a different voice or different gender and different phone number but they would say the same thing, the same phrases in the same boarding on the same subject. the next hour we'd get another one and we called them seminar callers. we had no idea that this was going to be the beginning of a quarter century of election manipulation by the clintons. but i guess it's no surprise looking back that bill and hillary and at the dnc and democrat party have been up to this for a long time trying to mess with people's heads when it comes to elections. >> harris: it so seminar callers, why that?

a huge difference between the clinton impeachment and this one, in the clinton impeachment there wasand the house didn't conduct any new evidence gathering, they didn't have witnesses, there weren't facts to be developed. we knew everything we were going to know at the beginning of that process. here at the beginning we are just beginning to get the information. and undoubtedly, the house investigative committees are going to call in the people who were around the president during the time these discussions took place. there's a lot that may or may not come out when we find out what conversations took place, for example, the most explosive thing would be if the president said to az aides i'm going to hold back that military money until he agrees to do something about the biden investigation. so there are a lot of facts to be developed here so it's very different than clinton. >> how quickly do they need to do it? >> that's sort of a political matter but i hope they give it the amount of time -- there's going to be court fights about some of this, so they are going to call in people w

the early clinton period largely continued this. the clinton administration was pursuing many of the same goals as the bush administration the -- in the middle east, especially the israeli-palestinian peace process, which morphed into the oslo process under clinton. also in the early clinton years, iran was carrying out a lot of terrorist attacks, especially in europe, but also elsewhere, assassinating iranian exiles and also a couple of attacks in argentina and elsewhere. so, this is a time in which iran was really being rather schizophrenic, on one hand being open to the united states in terms of talking points, but on the other hand, carrying out nasty attacks. all of this culminated in the hobart towers bombing of 1986, backed by iran but not carried out by iran, in which 19 u.s. air force personnel were killed in a dramatic terrorist attack. there was strong suspicion immediately that iran was behind this, but the clinton administration did not get concrete proof for quite some time. the clinton administration chose to wait unt

you said you voted for hillary clinton. are you watching with interest the democratic debates presently, and how would you rate some of their candidates on issues that you care most about? prof. dershowitz: well, of course, i'm watching very carefully, i know several of the candidates personally. i know donald trump personally. i knew some of the republicans. ted cruz was my student, so you know, at my age, i know a lot of people in politics on both sides of the aisle. i'm very worried about the democratic party as a democrat. i'm very worried that it's becoming captive of some people on the extreme hard left, and i never want to see the republicans and the democrats so far apart that they can't talk to each other. i spent -- some of you remember this back in the 70's, i was a constant guest on bill buckley's tv show, and bill called me his favorite liberal. i called him my favorite conservative. we could talk about anything. we could talk about anything. we never raised our voices, we never got excited, we never called eac
