this is -- let me tell you, if george bush or george h. bush had done this, the media would be going crazy. but the bob woodward led washington post, which is in the tan tank, and nbc which stands for nobody but clinton. what we have is nixon on steroids. it is their with held documents. they have covered up stuff at the irs. l louis learner. we have a government and administration and a rule of law that's disappearing. we have chaos here. and i had said before, at least for a year, and particularly since last december, that the republican party was on the verge of coming apart at the seams. the revolt has reached the halls in capital hill. the government, highest ever is corrupt and no one will speak about it. >> people sitting at home are wondering, we elected these people. what the heck is going on and how can i affect it? but they can't. >> when they elect them and they don't do what they said they would do. they don't repeal bobama care o try to repeal it. >> we object. >> that is why trump is doing well. >> that's what i was going to

tirades and calling the alcohol, tobacco, and firearms enforcers jack-booted thugs, president george h w bush resigned as an nra member and said, no, i'm not going to be associated with that. i mean, ideally, what i would love to see is gun owners, responsible gun owners, hunters form a different organization and take back the second amendment from these extremists. john: the second issue where clinton went on offense was in her interview with "the today show," benghazi, fueled by kevin mccarthy's comments that the benghazi committee has dragged down her poll numbers. mrs. clinton: this committee was set up, as they have admitted, for the purpose of making a partisan political issue out of the deaths of four americans. i would have never done that. if i were president and there were republicans or democrats thinking about that, i would've done everything to shut it down. mark: my friend, hillary clinton on offense on those issues. my question for you, whether doing that will help her campaign get on track? mark: to quote the last woman on a national ticket, you betcha. at least in the short t

in 1988, i was working for george h w bush when he was running for president. his pollster was a really talented, professional, sober person. he was telling me -- we were in his office. we had been there to talk about something, and the conversation alighted in two recent polling he had done. he told me a bunch of interesting, offkilter stuff that for some reason i will -- i askedt, such as him, what countries do americans really like and not like. i was just curious. and he said americans still don't like the japanese, but they like the germans. go figure. but that's a degree in. he told me about his polling on caucus, and heo said women are going more democratic -- mike dukakis, and he said that women are going more democratic and men are going more republican. that was something that was sort of cliche by then. and i said why it that? why do women vote for democratic and men more republican? and he said we don't know. then he said he thought it had something to do with the price of things, shopping. women are concrete. they are in the stores. they are seeing

this is not the party of george h bush or james baker anymore. it's a different breed.listen to the debates taking place on that side. you have that crowd defining it. they don't want knowledge. they have ideology and certainty. it's good, evil. we're good, they are evil and we will beat them no matter what the consequences. then you have the ignorance, which is actually, unfortunately, tt typifying too many. then there's willed ignorance. that's the guys who know but when they do their political calculation, it doesn't pay to be smart on israel-palestinian or any middle east issue. so they become purveyors of conventional wisdom because if i want to talk about the economy, if i want to talk about taxes, if i want to talk about benefits for the middle class, whatever, this becomes a distraction and it might end up getting me in political trouble. so i'm just going to -- i know better, but i'm not going to talk about it or say what everybody else says. we're the unbreakable, unshakable ally. hopefully, they will leave me alone so i can talk about the stuff i care about.

ronald reagan, but also wrote for george h. w. bush when he became president and of course kennedy's ghost writers and franklin roosevelt, great speeches. words are much more important than many people realize. i remember when hillary clinton was running of the last time and she accused her competition just using words, using words is a huge part of leadership. the great presidents have all had that power of communication, lincoln, theodore roosevelt, jack kennedy, words matter, words in dur and they carry on in the following generations. we still quote. martin luther king without the power of his words. that is why it is so important we learn to use the english language. one of the startling marvelous aspects of the right brothers was the quality of the letters they wrote, not just that they were correct grammatically, they were powerful, they were effective, they were clear, they could be very funny, they could be very touching. they were incapable as the collection at the library of congress proves, they were incapable of writing a

with a natural partner like ronald reagan and george h w bush -- she would be worried about that.ppointed to see the deadlock in congress. it seems impossible to move forward any major agenda item. we just negotiated this asia-pacific trade agreement, which is potentially extremely important not just in his this, but in a strategic -- not just in business, but in a strategic move at a specific time when china is getting quite expensive. that might be hostage to the thatcongress, something would certainly distress margaret thatcher. francine: how would a world leader deal with donald trump? powell: you mean if he was elected. you are asking me to -- i never met donald trump. what i would say is that he is not alone in the sense that a number of insurgencies are going on in politics at the moment. you see it here. you see it in the united kingdom independence party. withsense, you see it jeremy corbyn, the leader of the labour party. all sorts of parties are coming up outside the normal political framework, and that reflects the disillusionment with politics as usual. tom: we go bac
