it written by hyper-partisan democratic strategist and clinton's super ally, james carville. by our studio last night to talk about the presidential race. and the thesis of his new book. james: we have had two successful democratic presidents, sandwiched by two disastrous republican presidents. so, do not count democratic. the longer case i am making, particularly on the economy by every measure that you can comment, democrats have typically just outperformed republicans. and, you know, it hasn't been close. we go on from there, to issues like climate and overreaction to ebola and environmental regulations. one of the favorite parts of my book is the united states and and north carolina senator mr. tillis said he did not think russian workers should be forced to wash their hands. i don't know about you, i think it's reasonable for the guy who makes the salad to wash his hands. john: i am pro-handwashing. alex: i'm all for sanitary practices in the workplace. what's with the idea that trump is offering voters something new that they have nothing left to lose. james: you to und

abouts a possibility of james carville being the stand-in for donald trump during the debate.'s absolutely no truth and it would be stupid for me to do it and i will tell you why. in order to do this right, takes about 100 hours of prep. you have to sit there and listen to every answer donald trump gives, every con -- every come way jamesthere's no carville is going to sit down, look and listen at 100 hours of tape of donald trump. alex: so who should play trump? james: i'm partial to bob barnett. he played push in 92, but i don't know. any number of people in politics now, it has to be somebody that sits and knows every answer to every question he's ever given and the only way you can do that is you have to go through all the takes, all the questions. it can't be done in any other way. alex: will the country ever come back together to the moment where we used to have landslide elections mark james: i wrote a book in 2008 and i said 40 more years. it was very difficult. what will happen in this election? the wall street journal editorial page will say this election didn't coun

and i heard you talking to james carville earlier. of prep. >> so the reason we're talking to you. there is a lot of speculation about who will play donald trump in the debate prep with hillary clinton. who had play hillary clinton in the debate prep with donald trump. these are both large challenges. both of them are pretty famous. at least in one case, they have an outsized personality. talk about the prep? what did you do to try transform yourself into sarah palin? >> if you're going to play the person, you have to internalize them. you have to believe, you have to really become that character and believe in that character. even though in sarah palin's case, obviously, there is a lot of terrible stories leading up to that. i went in and i watched every single debate she had ever done. i watched all of her statements. i read everything about it that i possibly could. i know what persona she brought to this match with mccain so i was able to, once i got there, to try out some both lines of attack on joe biden as well as respond in th

look, he also -- james carville also said it's the economy, stupid. in this situation we're talking about the economy of the clinton family to the tune of $156 million, who don't know the difference between where the state department ends -- >> they don't take a cent from the foundation, not one cent. >> don't forget, they left the white house flat broke. it was said earlier children would die in africa. i was on the foreign actions committee that oversaw the foreign aid. i have been to dozens of the aids in africa program, the malaria programs and i can tell up we stumbled on to gates foundation money, we stumbled on to rotary international money all the time. i did not see that much clinton foundation. why weren't they at the democratic national convention saying here's an example of our good work. >> they have a five star rating from philanthropy foundation folks. >> your facts are not right. as a correspondent who has been in africa on the outskirts of kigali, they do very good work. that's not to say there may not be some issues that comes to sec

so james carville is wrong. and to his third point that the clinton foundation takes money from rich people and gives it to poor people. look how they spend the money. they take money from rich people and give it to highly paid consultants. that's who gets the bulk of the money from the clinton foundation. deirdre: peter thank you as always. peter schweizer with me now. >>> next guest is calling out hillary clinton for not visiting louisiana flood victims but instead holding a $33,000 per plate fund-raiser with pop star justin timberlake. karl rove is with me next. . deirdre: donald trump holding a rally in florida. hillary clinton's most recent rally was a week ago and she has not held an official presser in nearly nine months. critics found out she has had time to hold $33,000 per plate dinners, fund-raisers with celebrities such as justin timberlake and jessica biel. former senior adviser to president george w. bush karl rove is with me now. good to see you. >> good to see you. deirdre: the number of fund-rai

if james carville -- >> the carville voice. >> yes, i can. what's this? that's zero. that's how much money he made. of course, they did not steal from the clinton foundation, because they didn't have to. you get somebody from, i don't know, bahrain and i'm not picking me on the crown prince of bahrain because actually he had been giving back in 2005. but, let's say that somebody from another country gives money to the clinton foundation. and they need help with the state department. bill clinton goes off, he gives a speech. he gets paid $550,000. by the way, some reason he became twice as good of a speaker after hillary clinton became president than before she was president. and they make $100 million, $200 million off of this. again, willie, it just -- why? why did they have to make $100 million or $200 million? why did they? they knew she was running for president. how reckless can they be? why can't they just stop themselves? why can't they just play it straight? why do they always make it so hard on themselves? >> i don't have the answer to that. but what i do kno

>> james carville with all due respect doesn't know what the clinton foundation does.f all, it doesn't give money to poor people. it gives money to highly paid consultants who on the clinton foundation payroll. second of all, his claim that the money doesn't go to the clintons, it does, indirectly. i mean, bill clinton wrote a book called giving a few years ago which was about the clinton foundation. he took the advance which was about a million dollars for himself personally. and, third, to the point that people are going to die, that is ridiculous. clinton foundation has done some good things. there are lots of other charities that are doing better things and i think dollars will be better spent on other charities than they clinton foundation. >> peter, we have heard a lot of the stories from the things going on. some of the things that the clinton foundation has done, pay to play, illegal, who knows. do you think the fbi is investigating currently and do you think there should be a special prosecutor? >> well, i don't know the exact status of what the fbi is doing n

remember james carville, when he said it is the economy stupid?e. >> that was james carville's quote, not mine. he was completely correct. car develop is right, when ever you have economy really bad, inures very much to the detriment incumbent. hillary is the incumbent. it is referendum on her. david: here is the excuse that hillary and president obama make. we went through financial crisis worst since the depression. there are examples in the world. one is ireland. require land is exploding, 26% gdp growth, in place featured economic policies reagan had, a lot of tax cutting that trump wants. the fact is, you have that as one example. you have also venezuelan brazil. we're about to see these pathetic olympic games in brazil. i say pathetic what brazil is going under or boeing through now, based on other economic policies. many say is the ones we would get if we elected hillary. >> i was involved with the ireland tax cuts with the 12 1/2% corporate rate. if i can, i have awful joke for you david, why is everyone investing in ireland? david: right.

. >> james carville actually. >> yeah, it was james carville. on how they feel right now. how does it affect my pockets, my family. it's very smart tore donald trump to do. there were some things that were concerning, like trade. that's a big problem. we can't go back to -- we can't go back to protectionist policies like we had under hoover that led to the great depression. that's a problem. donald trump said a lot of things that i think were attractive to people. and the clinton campaign is concerned about that. we know people vote based on the economy. he went for child care, deduction or credit, that speaks to a constituency. that's why hillary clinton had to come out and address it. i will take the reagan economy over this current of obama any day. >> he has created tens of thousands of jobs in his private life. he pointed to hillary clinton's record and said she propsed upstate new york she would create 200,000 jobs. washington post, hardly a friend of donald trump or republican's, her jobs promises failed to realize. meanwhile, hillary cli

harris: you're a fan of james carville in this role. we talked about this. >> mark cuban is pretty harsh. mark cuban knows how to shoot some arrows. meghan: got to get somebody from the right though. you have to get some long-term republican. get jesse watters, pay him $15 million. i'm sorry, they're liberals. they will not shoot with the same arrows a conservative will. donald trump has a lot of like really smart conservatives around him, prepping him right now. i just think she can prep and prep and prep. he will go quick. >> very, very unpredictable. you can't prepare for donald trump. you don't know what he will do. harris: would you take less than 15 million to since you offered that? >> pretty good gig. >> i tried to come up with outburst that would hurt donald trump and i couldn't come up with one. he already had them all. he is the republican nominee. meghan: i gave you money because i knew you could be bought. harris: wow. meghan: that is the line i want to hear. i have some good lines against hillary. >> i gave you money becau

story and james carville was on the show last night said the clinton foundation shuts down like donald trump says it should. mike pence says it should. people are going die and 9 million people get access to low-cost hiv drugs or drugs they couldn't get otherwise and people's lives have been saved and are you worried about that that just perhaps the appearance of impropriety, people will die. >> i would ask bill clinton what he thinks of that particular line of argument and they'll start accepting foreign donations which would shrink their capital on the good works that they do. are people going to be less helped because she's president following along that reasoning? i would also offer my agreement with james carville's remarks on a different network this morning where he said either people will go to hell or heads will roll if this is true. there are a lot of honest democrats who seem really outraged about this chain of events because they also feel that this was bernie sanders' entire point, and he wasn't a lone wolf. what did he do? he got 22 state victories over her, millions of v

one set of rules for the clintons, one set of rules for everybody else and i had james carville on myw this morning thomas and arguing with james carville is like draining against tony stewart the if you're a rookie. i only got a few words in edge wise but james is already kind of spinning that look at all the good work the clinton foundation did, why are people upset about that? they're curing malaria, all the people that are being helped were good -- donors to a good foundation. it has nothing to do with the fact that she had a special deal going for her friends, friends of the clintons and i think that donald trump's hit a rich vein here and i expect him to work it like any good politician should who's got a scandal exploding on the other side of the aisle. >> and meanwhile if he goes on the attack against hillary clinton for this he is also trying to clean up his own campaign house when it comes to the immigration issue and he really secured the republican nomination by this tough promise about his immigration stance but it does seem he's shifting or changing the tone. i want to p

so i'm not sure if we've all heard james carville over the years say things like this.ut he is channeled the anger of bill clinton, his very close friend here. because they do believe that the foundation has been sort of marred by all these allegations of influence that may or may not be there. the problem here though is -- and the reason the clinton campaign believes this is a real issue and they are making changes at the foundation is because they do accept money, unlimited contributions, from foreign governments, from businesses. and there is every ethics group in this town and across the country and the world would say, how do you not have at least questions of influence if she is to become the next president? that's why they are going to change the name of the foundation. >> but with the changes, jeff -- then i'm going to finish. but with the changes, the republicans are pointing out, like reince priebus, for example, if the foundation was up to snuff when she was secretary of state, then why wouldn't it be if she is elected president? >> it is a great question. it

. >> james carville with thoughts about all the good work the clinton foundation does and obviously the g.o.p. nominee. amy, the special prosecutor. one would think it would be political malpractice if he didn't do that. no one is under the allusion that president obama is going to name a special prosecutor. >> but, the real question now is can donald trump keep on this line of attack for a consistent amount of time before derailing either himself or something that he said that derails the focus on to him? you know, this is like one of those movies where you see the prison yard in the big spotlight goes from place to place. neither one of these candidates wants to be under that spotlight. when the spotlight is on hillary clinton, this is what we are talking about. when the spotlight is on him we are talking about his behavior and the statements he has made. >> do you talk to democrats who are increasingly worried about this email investigation and how it's going to effect them? >> what they're concerned about overall is that the enthusiasm from their base, that so-called obama coalition

. >> i hope they were watching james carville. puppies and kittens. >> no, never. >> not at all. nice day outside. we have low humidity. nice day about living where we are in this part of the country where you have a little northeast wind, low humidity, sunshine. it's really nice. so enjoy because it's not going to last forever because we're going to have hot stuff coming your way. hazy sunshine right now kind of looks bad. just the humidity is really low. if you see it in the form of the dew point it's 59. 83 is the temperature. the farther away the dew point temperature number, the drier that it is and 44% humidity. calm wind and pressure is rising. air quality is good. pollen count grasses. 86 around la guardia. and right around teeterboro. you see the wind profile here southeast now. so the north east whipping around the southeast. that keeps the water after of the atlantic. thunderstorms from the giant low around florida. on our guidance, you'll see overnight we'll be in the 70s. it will be warm, humid, sticky, steamy, stuffy. it looks like a good one here. in the afternoon,

james carville. it is true the republican -- most of the statehouses and state legislatures, the control of the house, at the moment, but democratic presidential level is rocky. look back for a moment. was there any time when you thought she might lose to bernie sanders? >> i can't say that i wasn't nervous. but i never thought she would lose. just like in the general, people call and say, did you see this? and i come back and think, that much of this and that much of that. >> looking down the road, we know we will get a bunch of e-mails and we have a bunch of stories that suggest donors who had access to her. how much of a threat do you think it is, it giving it is the biggest looming political threat right now. how much of a threat is it? >> if i were running a campaign of getting political advice i would say, shut it down. people are going to die. now, no one said -- if bob dole was the majority leader, if george w. bush is raising money for his library when his son was president, that is fine. a

kennedy: fit' a charity, and you are doing such great work and as james carville said, people are goingdie if they shut this foundation down, then why on earth would you shut it down just because she is president? >> maybe what they are saying is get your bid in now. if it was really an above-board thing they should take the children tons off of it and turn it over to the american red cross. because the confluence of money going in one hand and decisions and access and access going out the other is a dangerous precedent. kennedy: it's a limited amount of time before she is conceivably elected. it's a free-for-all. it's a summer dance to get the million dollar donations in and the clintons know they bought fave and they will get access to the president of the united states. >> before secretary clinton became secretary of state, she was senator from new york. she left the white house as first lady and went to the senate and that's when they set up the foundation. before she became secretary of state they set this private server up. what was she going to hide? she knew it would cause probl
