obviously in hindsight that's the igs job is to judge things in hindsight. hindsight is 2020. a lot of the other considerations worth the fact that our country was under attack, and in that light it's hard to fault him for essentially doing his job, which was to protect our country. >> host: how did "mother jones" david corn become a part of this story? >> guest: david with someone i have known for many years on and off. we travel in the same circles as journalists, journalists originally and i had occasional contact with him about stop after i left the journal and started fusion. he's an investigative reporter who now runs the bureau here for "mother jones" and also a bit of an espionage buff and is written at least one or two books about espionage matters. he reached out to me at the very, very end of the campaign at a point when we were very concerned about what was happening inside the government and the fact that the fbi had reopen an investigation into hillary clinton, and seems to be suppressing the fact i had a parallel investigation into donald trump. that really conc

. >> in years of hindsight will give all of us great judgment, right.l look back and make different decisions if we had the benefit of hindsight. if we go back to the time that vote was made, we were in post 9/11. we were concerned about weapons of mass destruction. we were concerned about terrorism. three-fourths of the senators did vote for the invasion of iraq so you have to take that into consideration. and joe biden has walked it back a bit and saying this is not the best decision in hindsight. i think pete buttigieg is strong and has a good chance and i think the momentum is in the right direction. this, i don't think, is a good lane attack because biden walked it back. >> biden just said something i think would surprise you, if he would consider a republican running mate, take a listen? >> the answer is i would. but i can't think of one now. there are some really decent republicans that are out there still. but here is the problem right now, the well-known ones. they have to step up. >> boy, i'm not sure how the grassroots is going to take that o

with hindsight, anything can be said with hindsight, but the fact is that our members actually practice sure they are supervised properly. it is fair to say, isn't it, that since 2010 there has been a fairly significant reduction in the amount of money available within the ministry of justice budget, which presumably includes your services? when you talk about the highest level of supervision, what in practical terms nowadays does that mean? does it mean daily contact, does it mean telephone contact? does it mean face—to—face contact? i appreciate all conditions of each individual might be slightly different, but broadly, if you are able to give us an idea of what that might amount to somebody who had been convicted of this sort of offence? i would not have access to the supervision plan for the individual concerned, but i will check in with college and practitioners over the weekend. it is quite likely that what an offender with that record would be seen at this once a week, and if not twice and would have been had strict conditions about the activities that they could undertake. what

all of those things but have been assessed beforehand, with hindsight anything, you can see anythingt is our members actually practice the conditions of licence to make sure they are supervised properly. but it is about to say, isn't it, that since 2010 there has been a significant reduction in the amount of money available within the ministry ofjustice budget, which presumably include your services? when you talk about the highest level of supervision, what impractical terms nowadays does that mean? does it mean daily contact, doesn't mean telephone contact, doesn't mean telephone contact, doesn't mean telephone contact, doesn't mean face—to—face contact? i appreciate all conditions for each individual could be different, but boddily can you give us an overview? i would not have access to the supervision plan for the individual concerned. it is quite likely that typically an offender but that record which have been seen at least once a week, if not twice and were to instruct conditions about the activities they could undertake. but they are, i do not know. so, presumably the risk wa

with hindsight, i can see that this is the kind of historical practice to which my own peculiar career led me. career as a my photography curator, i invariably had to start with the thing itself. and over and over again, i have learned that small objects can lead tohs -- big stories. along with the invention of photography in 1830 nine, people in the western half of the north american continent used visual means to make sense of their word, in petroglyphs and paintings with ceramic vessels and devotional art. but the settlement of the west as a part of the united states largely coincides with the invention and spread of photography. the new medium came of age, and through photography, many americans encountered the west for the first time. photographs still shaped our mental images of the west. in our minds i, we imagine ,alifornia gold miners settlers, dustbowl farms. nonetheless, as western historians, we have been more apt to use these photographs as illustrations than to think about them as primary sources that can help us answer central questions about the western past. we have le

>> well, i think in hindsight we made some mistakes and i would this take the blame for it as well aser people who were involved in the system as well, but we did some very good things. we did say we are going to shake up washington with and jimmy carter came up with a very unique idea, he said i am not a lawyer, i am not from washington and that was unique at that time and he kind of you used that populist appeal. when he came to washington we probably didn't have as much breadth of knowledge of people who had served in washington before. but in hindsight, president carter was president for only four years and we did enormous number of things, and today the amount of legislation we passed in that four-year period of time dwarfs what is getting done today. >> dickerson: one of the things you asked these historians when you talk them if you could talk to one former president and ask them a question, which one would it be? so for you what form her president if they were alive today would you want to talk to and what would you ask them? >> in my view in our long history in this country,

with the benefit of hindsight they can recover his little moments and links between discrete events andlooking back they can reconsider people or events deemed uninteresting at the time, but valuable in retrospect. the unnamed photographer may have inadvertently captured the clotheslines at pikes peak, but it's up to the historian to explain whose clothes they were, and who washed them and hung them out to dry. it is historical research that lets me know more about young sophie's family, history than gardner does in 1868, and because i can see into her father's future, i can know that his lawsuits will remain unresolved when he dies more than 30 years later and i can know that one of her sons will later press his grandfather' us claims. even in the digital era, it is -- grandfather's claims. it isn the digital era, hard to shake the 19th-century century assumptions about the literalism of photography. offer anhs seem to unmediated glimpse of the past, no matter how much we know about photography's ability -- photographers ability to manipulate the scene. photographs are historical artif

is not 2120, hindsight can skew what you see, it can be 400800 because you see things in light of what happened. how could you not have known? here is the best proof i had no idea. i was talking to jeffrey epstein before anything happened at a conference in harvard at the seminar. he said my granddaughter who went -- has a soccer tournament and so and so, that is near palm beach. my house will be empty during christmas and i will be on my island. why don't you use the house instead going to a hotel so i bought my wife my daughter, my daughter-in-law, my granddaughter, my grandson, my son, we spent 4 or 5 days at the house. if there had been a single inappropriate picture i would have been out of there so fast. if i had known anything untoward was happening in that house it is the last place i ever would have gone. no one suspected anything. he kept his private life completely compartmentalized. i never knew he had a brother. we never discussed anything personal. i didn't know if he had living parents. i knew his academic policy much as i have an academic friendship with anybody else on

david: lehman was on the verge of going bankrupt, and you did -- have the authority to say in hindsights there anything you could have done differently? hank: i do not think there was. we tried everything we could to get a buyer. problem thanbigger bear stearns because they were insolvent. there was a capital hole. a loanas no way that was going to solve the problem. it would take capital or a loan guarantee. act, we tried very hard and came very close to getting a deal done with barclays. as we look back on it, as bad as that was, that was not the worst outcome that was possible. the crisis had been grinding on for a year. we had three financial institutions going down the same week. aig.n, merrill, and we had one buyer, and make of america bought merrill. , merrillought lehman would have failed in that would've been a bigger problem. the thing i will say about was, itas bad as it accelerated the crisis, it was a symptom not the cause. legislationately did get through congress, but it failed in the first vote in the house. what did you think then? hank: oh boy. we had a number of terri

in hindsight, that is his job judge that. a lot of the other considerations here were that our country was under attack. in that way, it's hard to follow him for essentially doing his job which was to protect our country. >> how did david become a part of this story? >> they went with someone i've known for many years on and off, we travel as journalists originally and had occasional contact with him about that after i left the journal. he's a reporter who now runs the bureau here and also in espionage and has written one or two books about espionage matters. he reached out to me at the very end of the campaign when we were very concerned about what was happening in the government. he had to reopen an investigation into hillary clinton and seems to be suppressing the fact that they had an investigation into trump and that concerned us and confused us. i agreed to meet him. that led eventually to him speaking over skype with chris steel. a story that ran in the final days before the election about how chris provided informatio

was never any intent to mislead the public or congress and those interviewed had the benefit of hindsightthink about that? >> jason: this really bothers me. i went over at two afghanistan a couple of times, i suggested in 2010 we should leave. you cannot sit with your generals and asked them to find for me what victory looks like, it is so stone cold silence, we have the biggest baddest military on the face of the planet, they can do anything there set out to do but we didn't know what we were doing there or why we were there and it bothers me is has continued on in perpetuity. they misled congress because i was one of them, they let on the american public and they could not stand, should not get buried in all these other stories, we need to go back and look at thi this. >> kennedy: that's a great point and this is from a project called lessons learned matt was supposed to infer future incursions and not only the fundamental question of what does victory look like but why are we there in the first place? this general is saying we didn't understand afghanistan to begin with, not only the g

in hindsight you can say these are strange people doing some weird things, but at the time you don'tw that. i think the attorney general is making some judgments in hindsight that perhaps people at the time watching everything, going crazy were not really sure. i mean, we've never dealt with anything like this before. >> the russians were hacking and there was activity, very obviously, coming from the russians. >> and he's glossing over things that exonerate them, too, what christopher wray has said and the president. >> one thing he did allude to which was what he and the president skpmdly. they are some pretty damning conclusions, not saying the motivation was the critically. they did not follow protocol. there were things you could even is a pmpl. what i think is important to do is to look at what bill barr is saying in context, sflit right before he responded to the question about the inspector general report, he talked about impeachment. and this idea that there has been this group of people inside the government that has been trying to take president trump down since before he

hindsight, that was stupid. i should have said the drawing has to say. -- day.econd thing, we're working on the back deck and i think someone stepped through the deck and they brought me over because i was doing for seismic pull out i said this is brought in. take pictures. we went down to the building inspector who looked at the pictures and said, you need to get a permit to fix the deck. we went and got a permit. in doing the deck, i lifted the hand rails to the back stairs and i said, you really need to fix these handrails too, so i told her permit -- i pulled the 's history and in 2016 there was a permit to fix the back stairs posts and stringers, so i went down and got a permit to do 100% of the back stairs and told the plan checker, somebody already has done the post and stringers, we are only fixing the handrail, stairs, and treads , but i wrote 100% down and we got a dry rot permit at the back, and then the kitchen remodel, this is just my practice, i think it is more transparent when you were doing kitchen remodel permits, electrical requires stand-alon

in hindsight, is there anything you could have done differently? hank: boy, i tell you.t think there was. we tried everything we could to get a buyer. lehman was a bigger problem than bear stearns because they were insolvent. there was a big capital hole. there was no way that a loan was going to solve the problem. it took capital or a loan guarantee. the thing about lehman as i look back, we tried very hard and came very close to getting a deal done with barclays. as we look back on it, as bad as that was, that was not the worst outcome that was possible. the crisis had been grinding on for about a year. for many week financial -- weak financial institutions. we had three financial institutions going down the same week. lehman, merrill, and aig. it turns out we had one buyer. and bankamerica bought merrill. if they bought lehman, merrill would have failed and it would have been a bigger problem. the thing i will say about lehman, as bad as it was, it accelerated the crisis, it was a symptom, it was not the cause. david: ultimately, legislation did get through congress,

end in the impeachment of president trump, it's interesting to look back now with the clarity of hindsight to see sort of where this started to go so wrong, where this started to go off a cliff for the president. as you know in 2014 russia invaded a neighboring country, invaded ukraine. they seized a part of that country called crimea for themselves. they declared henceforth crimea would be part of russia, not ukraine. russia also invaded and started occupying big swaths of eastern ukraine beyond crimea. and to this day russia still claims crimea is there, and they are still waging a war and occupying the eastern part of ukraine. when russia first did that in 2014 it was seen as a really big freaking deal on the world stage. it was the first time another country had seized another country in europe since the end of world war ii. and when russia did that the world reacted as if it was that big a deal because it was. they would make the group of 8 instead the group of 7, the g-7. russia got hit with serious international sanctions, sanction that got even more intense after the russian occupi

it still seems to me to be the right thing in hindsight. the idea that we were trying to, you know, slow the economy down, we were really just trying to get near neutral and even with the last rate increase a year ago, we were still meaningfully below the median estimate on the committee of what the neutral rate was, so policy was always accommodative during the course of that year. i think what's happened is obviously the facts on the ground have changed. you saw the global economic slowdown began in the middle of last year, gather force and then continue to go on this year, so you have seen a continual weakening. just look at the imf's forecast of growth from, you know, the spring of 2018 and compare them to now. you have had quite a significant -- that does affect us. i think also, the trade situation was just beginning in the middle of '18 and i think it has had, you know, i think there will be very very wide range of estimates of the effect but i think it's had a meaningful effect on output just through the uncertainty channel and to a
