so the hill paper with six ways hilary clinton has breck n with obama. and we are getting your thoughts on the latest talk against the president. anna, arizona, democratic caller. >> caller: good morning. i think hillary is the only choice. i don't see anyone with anymore experience than she does and i am a die hard democrat. but even if i were a republican or independent i don't see anyone out there with anymore experience. i want to reference a comment made about what someone -- a previous caller said about the benghazi situation and the comment that what does it matter now. i don't think she meant that the loss of life in benghazi did not matter. it was just, you know, this happened and we have to find out exactly what did happen. i don't think she was taking it lightly. i don't think she is criticizing president obama personally. i just think she has different opinions. for me, hilary clinton is the only choice for president in 2016. >> host: do you agree with her on foreign policy? some called her stance hawkish. do you agree with that? >> caller: i

>> guest: hilary clinton has been a simon and schuster author for 18 years now. and the cceo acquired her first book many years ago and that was it takes a village. we are publishing hard choices with us. it is her fourth book with us. i was the editor and working closely with all of the people at the company. >> host: as the editor, is there a lot of e-mails back and forth between you and the author? is that how it is done? >> guest: every case is different. i tried to give just as much attention to secretary clinton's books to the other books. we are publishing james web who is a terrific united states senator. i don't want to favor one author over another. >> host: at what point do you as publisher get involved in acquiring a book? is that your role as well? >> guest: the editors come to me and say they want to sign up a book and have a justification. if they want to do that and others are equally excited we usually make an offer. >> host: what is an advance? >> guest: an advance is the amount of money an author gets paid before pub allilishing the. >> host: a

you cannot find anything positive she has done as far as hilary clinton in '93 she didn't do that. she is not as accomplished and experienced as we would like to pretend. >> guest: there is a sense in the democratic party that it is hillary's turn. it was in 2008 and then obama came along. so there is a sense of that because it is eight years later it is time for hillary. and part of that is the democratic field isn't deep. there is hillary and everyone else. you know it a struggle to come up with the other plausible names that could rest the nomination. komo and o'malley are out there but on contrast you have a huge number of people on the republican side that could win the nomination. >> host: richard jeff of the national journal. can the stories be found online? >> guest: absolutely. they are free online and we have a beautiful website that displays the stories in a beautiful format. >> coming up, featuring a look at the book industry with a tour of the offices of simon and schuster and then from a book festival in maryland a panel on the book industries and later a discussion a

there was a stampede at ucla to get fsee hilary clinton. there is excitement about the idea of a first woman president. and that is my next book so keep an eye out for that in 2015. so i think if we could, you know, a discussion with these young people about this is what is motivating and they get decide. do we, like most men and women in the millennial generation, think that women and men should have equal roles and we would like to see men having more opportunity to be with their kids and men are struggling with work-family balance. i think that is where they are. or do they want to share this view of a god given role for men and women. i think we win by having that debate. >> what do you think, mg? >> in order to respond i find myself scrolling back to forever barbie which after 20 years is still in print and it is four required courses here that have to do with concepts of gender and marketing. it also follows me around. in the new york times review of the elizabeth taylor book i got all excited at the time beginning of the review i was

and i am very eager to read hilary clinton's memoir. i am happy she used that title because i wrote a book on her called hillary's choice and that was to stay with bill clinton and hook her star to his wagon. she helped cultivate and shape a president so i cannot wait to read her book. >> what are you reading this summer? >> tell us what is on your summer reading list. tweet us, post it to our facebook page or e-mail us at booktv@cspan.org >> up next, we lay out the problems in the obama administration with ben shaprino. >> i have been gone so long many of you have forgotten who i am. this is the production of the david harwitz center. briefly, what happened to me was my foot was paralyzed. i wish i could say it was from kicking james carville or sandra flute. but it was a botched hip operation. be careful when you have them. you have to chose a decent surgeon. my siotic nerve was damage and that means paralysis and a lot of pain. i am on the mend. this is my first public appearance since march. the operation was on april 1st -- that wa

books on hilary clinton, obama and snowden tonight. the weekly standards on afterwards and we tour the littery sites of casper, wyoming. and the negro league and the depiction of slavery in movies. and an interview with herbert hoover. call us and let us know what you think. or e-mail us. join the c-span conversation. like us on facebook and follow us on twitter. >> we will wrap up today's edition of washington journal with a round table discussion on census bureau studies. this segment is just over half an hour. " continues. host: >> host: it is our america by the numbers segment that we do on friday's on washington journal. we are taking a look at the aging nation and the future of baby boomers. jennifer ortman is here with the united states census bureau. and richard johnson from the urban institute and retirement policy director. welcome both of you. >> thank you very much. >> host: one thing we found is the older population is projected to double from 43 million to 84 million by 2050. tell us about why that is happening and what i

and same thing with hilary clinton. you sit there and say hilary clinton is going to run and no body us. i want to know why i am supposed to support them? >> guest: the ohio's governor's race had a lot of candidates on there. this leads to more of the importance of volunteers and engagement. encourage friends to run who you think could make it to the ballot. help someone up in the primary process. that helps you elect who your nominee is. >> host: what is your thing you would leave the viewers with when it comes to campaigns and fundraising? >> guest: remember you are still part of the process. don't think the big money groups are the only thing the candidate is thinking about. they want to reach you in the mail, e-mail and they will call you and there is a local office you can attend and your $10 and ultimately your vote counts. that small dollar donation and that average voter still means a lot to the candidates. >> host: you get the final word. >> guest: i get to be on the bad side of supporting politicians. in the e

i mean hilary clinton's recent remarks which she's rushed to restrakt were absolutely -- retract, were absolutely right. don't do stupid stuff is not a strategic contest for goodness sakes. >> you're saying look, this group this we are facing not will not just a bunch of rag tag thugs. it is going to take pretty harsh measures in order to confront this threat. not just nibble away at the outside of of this. this is going to take strong action and quite frankly, given the scenario you've just outlined, that's unlikely to happen, what is the worst case scenario here do you believe with isil, isis, they are carving out a niche in the northern part of iraq and seem to be growing. >> well, they are well on their way to destroying an almost 2,000eú civilization in iraq and syria. they are determined to wipe out the yazidis and other minorities. they're slaughtering muslims, but where it breaks from jihad tradition is militant army armies are killing fellow sunni muslims. they're going into villages and killed people that protest about their behavior. this is an organization that really is an

with a full load that that truck hilary clintons and you're thinking there's no way they could pull somebody alive from that, but they do. >> of course, they have to use the jaws of life. they have to be very careful because the man is kind of like cocooned by this car. what's amazing is this guy gets out with only minor injuries. >> that's miraculous. lo now, in this next video a very serious accident. this one involving a truck and a sleeper bus. another incredible rescue by the fire and police brigade in china. this one. sadly, four people perished in this accident. 37 others were injured. among the injured was a little girl, and can you see right here, they are trying to rescue that girl because she, too, is in a very cramped location, and crews are working very hard to get her out. she is very young, very small, and when they pull her out, you were surprised this little girl is alive, but alive she is. the way they get her out is unbelievable. >> it's so terrible to watch some of these rescues because you can't imagine the terror, the experience that these people had. >> how they found

. >> well hilary clinton is going to have plenty to say about finances and so forth. i don't know that this is at the top of her list. >> advancing her opponents' theoretically, the woman you are talking about. >> if you look at the history of trading on wall street going back decades there are people who have -- to which they're able to get information before the market and to trade on it. this just changes the speed of it and changes the availability of the information. i think this is just going to continue. i don't know how you deal with it. i am not saying it is fair. there is no way of making sure all information is equally distributed and people are going to have an advantage whether it is trading speeds or what have you. that's the nature of the market. >> tom, martin is throwing his hands in the air saying what can you do? you can't stop it. do you believe that? >> you can impound sec with resources to go after investigations. the fbi for example, when there are too many in fbi counterterrorism -- the reduction of the spread with the supercomputers with the h

i think the only people fainting at a hilary clinton rally are the chubby girls that cannot take the heat. but americans keep telling the pollsters they like obama personal. he is the person you wish you could like his policies. he would probably make a great next door neighbor unless you were chinese and he would always be over borrowing something. i think after the mess of the past eight years the republicans have a good chance provided they run someone better than todd aikin. especially if they talk about obamacare. i think there is one million hours i added up trying to find a health care plans. i am self-employed so i am subjected to the provisions and the entire time i was mumbling about my liberal friend who is a hypochrondriac and wants the entire budget spent on health care. so for all one million hours i kept saying screw you to him. and that was the title of my article. i forget to mention that it was named after him so at the last minute i sent an e-mail and said i mentioned you. we read it and said you make good points but you will have every liberal in the country pouri

he will be there at the same time as hilary clinton.ders told yahoo news a clinton campaign is not something that is going to stop him from running. >> the working class and middle class of this country are facing enormous problems. we are going to end up, and i use these words advisedly as an oligarchy society. and i will do everything i can to prevent that from happening. >> finally on the republican side, sarah palin is also considering a 2016 presidential run, and she may have just done something that may boost that likability factor. she spoked about the ice bucket challenge, signed a check, and app mered to get caught off guard after issuing her challenge. i also challenge senator john mccain. cheers. [ screaming ] >> whoo! [ laughter ] >> that funny video has now generated over 300,000 views on youtube. >> that was good. can we see that again. >> i think it's the sleeks -- >> can we do that? we got to see it again. yeah, yeah, here we go. cheers. [ screaming ] [ laughter ] [ applause ] >> good for her. good for her. >> raises mon

i don't if that will translate to electing hilary clinton. i think they will lose interest and the republicans will gain advantage because of the lack of participation. >> host: peg has this on her twitter page. you can share at cspanwj. she said no on the question of can the gop woo african-american voters? from the national review there is this on rand paul. a party for all. how can republicans get behind the minority voters. paul's pursuit of the african-american voters. talking about the militarization of local peace shows he is trying to change the base that massively voted form democrats. and we are learning and i am going to try to break barriers that existed for many years. that from june of this year with st. paul. tyrone is joining us from philadelphia. >> caller: we have to be clear about one thing. it isn't about what they say. it is the policy. all of the policy and all of the bills that go up to help the black community fail. they are knocking the policy so hard to help the blacks. no construction bill, no highway bills. so no e

. >> guest: you have these moments where campaigns show emotions like hilary clinton in michigan butt works against you like howard dean. often the public reacts stronger than you think and you cannot predict it. >> guest: i agree. we live in a world where people didn't have access and the genie gets out of the bottle and it is hard to get it back. >> host: and bridge port continues to be a drag for chris christy. mistakes made and how he handled this? >> guest: lots of mistakes in the way he handled it but the reason it has dragged on and on is is there a sense of inappropriate use of office and corruption. this is a little different. this seems like rather than the act getting magnified. howard dean, if you know him, he is a cool actor but give rousing emotions. this is a case where people think government did something inappropriate and it hurt voters. voters are not for giving because they want a political vendetta for sitting in traffic day after day. i think they are covering up real corruption and that is what the public thinks. >> guest: i think the press conference he did we

there as well, and that they are looking for what bill clinton calls a mini-me, a clone of obama, someone who will come out of nowhere and challenge hilary for the 2016 democratic nomination. so in bill clinton's eyes, there's no greater obstacle to hillary getting the nomination than barack obama. >> host: next, tampa, florida, john, independent line. >> caller: yes. i believe that the great economy of the mid-''9s so was in spite of bill clinton rather than because of him. bill clinton signed off on nafta, and signed off on approving of china being most favored nation status, 20 years ago. then he signed off on the repeal of the glass-steagall act which caused the great recession. we know nafta set the statement for china and other countries getting off our manufacturing jobs, our sour economy now is a result of bill clinton. hopefully the democrats will get someone credible like joe biden to run and certainly not hillary. thank you. >> guest: well, thank you for that question. it is interesting that bill clinton may be the single most popular politician in america, if not in the entire world right now there seems to be a collective am

hillary clinton drops in on stephen colbert making for a hilarious late night moment. >>> and good wednesday morning to you. great to have you with us. >>> well, there is shock and grief across the country at the loss of a high ranking army official in afghanistan. >> major general harold greene gunned down by u.s. trained afghan security forces. he's now the most senior u.s. officer killed in action since the pentagon attack on 9/11. here's abc's tahman bradley. >> reporter: a two-star american general, harold greene, gunned down by an afghan soldier. his northern virginia neighborhood is stunned. >> it's a shock and it's awful, the way that happened. somebody pulled a gun that was supposed to be on his side. just terrible. >> reporter: this morning, we're learning more about general greene and his mission, he had just been sent to afghanistan after being promoted to deputy commander of training. it was supposed to be a routine visit to an afghan military academy tuesday, the general there to check on the progress of afghan troops in training. from an elevated position, the shooter, a membe

hillary clinton drops in on stephen colbert making for a hilarious late night moment.

our country let the democrats put forward a war hawk like hillary clinton and you'll see a transformation like you've never seen. hilary's war you see what you're saying you think this is yeah i think it's pretty clear i mean at least my take away from that is you're talking about the intervention in two thousand and eleven against the in favor of the uprising against moammar gadhafi in libya but i think the issue rand paul brings up here is actually a pretty significant one i do think there's a lot of distrust on the left of hillary clinton and i think those are the people he's trying to appeal to here obviously there's distrust on the right of hillary clinton as well but it's hard to see how you know it would be it's difficult for me to see how you should be in a situation where he would overtake her for the presidency i think there are a lot of weird things that rand paul believes in he believes in going back to the walk new era when it comes to workers' rights that would come out a general election that i think a lot of people would switch over no more states child labor and examine the little boy no more workplace p

were run over by bill and hillary clinton and hillary is incredibly nice and also since the gramm is the impeachment leader and is often unfair if image but also hilary's because that is the important key to understand how this came back as a republican part of. so they only say nice things even if we don't credit them to say nasty things they have for feelings that is the human interaction but it could be won over easily when a powerful man gives you a compliment you look forward to more favorability. so in 2008 that hillary's problem was never with conservatives her problem was that she had not won over the democrats and they were disappointed that bill clinton as president was not the transformation of a liberal president they envisioned a and he could not be the ronald reagan they wanted instead it was at that time of relative prosperity but nonetheless the problem with democrats over the last five years. >> just to follow up when he is sick and remember one of the prime antagonist's during the presidency for the clintons with all conspiracy theories but then what happens? >> as you suggest he was the past right wing conspiracy finding all these ov
