lanny davis has agreed to talk. he has a long history handling clinton legal troubles advising then president clinton on campaign finance and impeachment. welcome back. >> thank you, chris. >> let's start with one of the big points that peter makes in his book. how do you explain bill clinton's speaking fees went up after his wife became secretary of state and the fact that the 13 speeches he's made since he left the white house for which he was paid $500,000 or more 11 of those 13 were while she was secretary of state. >> i can't explain why people decide to pay george bush and others lots of money, that's there decision. knowing bill clinton all of these years he's worth listening to and because of his activities all over the globe and certainly in the foundation he's probably worth that amount of money. >> i gels the question is you would think the market would be that he would be most valuable and most interesting right after he left the white house. in fact the speaking fee goes up dramatically and 11 of the 13

joining me, lanny davis. hillary is getting panned by some of the left like ruth marcus who came out with, oh, man, she did not like the rollout. what did i do with my papers? ruth, she said, it was a vapid video, relentlessly insultingly vapid. talks about it had no substance, about how she came across as entitled and overconfident. this is a democrat. a liberal democrat. what say you? >> i say it can't win. she's going to have a formal announcement where she'll talk about issues and her vision for america. >> that wasn't it? >> this is the introduction where she let americans talk about what they cared about and what hillary clinton has been about since i've known her back in yale law school is about other people. one of the first questions she asked me when we were online to register for classes and i was a senior and asked her if she needed advice, the question she asked is where do i find the nearest legal services clinic? this is a brand new yale law school student who doesn't seem to be worried about g

it's not earn earnst' job to be lanny davis. when lanny davis does it. we get it. if carville does it i get that i you completely understand but josh's job is to represent the administration and from their perspective it's a simple question. did she meet the standard or not? and if the answer is. no just say no. had she done it this way that would have been better. had she made different decisions support that because she didn't she didn't meet our standard. it's not to say we don't support her. she didn't meet our standard. he doesn't say that i think there is a reason he doesn't say that greta. i think he doesn't say that because you want to keep your friends close and keep your frememies closer. >> does the white house seem distracted by this latest development. >> i don't think so. i will say they suspect they will get plenty more of it. there is a volume of information yet to be revealed not just by the book that we have been talking about clinton cash but if you go back to her history as first lady of arkansas i mean, there is a litany really i can't. even ru

reaction, here with us lanny davis? was i fair? >> i actually thought you were fair, when you said may be evidence rather than there was evidence. it'smonica. >> you're a confidante. you can get them on the phone. you've been there from the beginning of their power rise. that's why we wanted you as a guest. but there is a feeling that the clintons are going to ride out no matter what happens, because they feel that they're going to have enough the coalition is going to be enough to elect her president. she's not going to answer any charges at all about anything. do you think that's going to happen? >> i don't think it's going to happen because they do respond. and they have to respond when there are questions raised. and you'll see hillary clinton respond on this matter. >> so you're predicting that she will read the book or have her people read the book? >> no. >> and then respond to the specific charges inside the book? >> the way you put it is the way that there should be a response. was there any connection between contribution

. >> clinton insider lanny davis said this is just the beginning of hillary's campaign launch. >> i thinko will be a more serious speech about her vision for the country, about the disparity of income and great middle class and every day americans are not getting a fair deal. what hillary clinton has been about since i have known her back in yale law school is about other people. it is who hillary clinton is. you will get more substance i promise you. she will have to fight and earn every vote. that's the kind of campaign she will run. >>> marco rubio just made it official. he is in for 2016. >> grounded by the lessons of our history but inspired the promise of our future i announce my run for president of the united states. >> what sets him apart from president obama? peter couldn'ts peter doocy with his message. >> senator rubio is already trying to show voters he's different than the first term senator who was elected president in 2008. the first thing rubio is doing to set himself apart is to call himself a limited government conservative. >> i believe that government has a role to pl

. >> lanny davis does a wonderful job talking about a wonderful person she is. she's not warm and fuzzy to the people, what's interesting. one was the saturday night live exit, which was devastatingly accurate about her and it's parody, and then you have marco rubio's announcement monday who was supposed to be buried by her. the reason she has to go to -- the imelda marcos moment with the dark glasses, going in to prove she can order something i can't get over hal pert and these other people fawning. it's ridiculous. could you look stupid? could you imagine bill clinton, he would have gone in there, eaten some of everybody else's food, said hello, warmed them up and then, what's the best thing to order. he would have made a scene there. she went in and she's wearing sunglasses, my god, and that thing she did with the students. these are people who a few months ago to appear on campus, she was charging 200 and $300,000 to speak to students. and she's worried about them by the way she's not answered a question yet from the press, and soon despite the lap dogs in t

>> yes, and they apologized of the weekend, saying that these were mistakes that were made, and lanny davis, a long-time ally of the clintons also went on "fox news sunday" to say this. >> i don't think but for a few inned a vert tent errors they've ever violate dub din inadvertent areas. >> that's why one of hillary clinton's top spokesman put out a two-page memo claiming they've turned the corner on the story. we'll see. >> nearly three years ago man walked into a packed batman movie premiere in colorado and opened fire. james holme killed 12 people, hounded dozen of others. his lawyers say he did it but was insane at the time. prosecutors counter he knew exactly what he was doing and they're trying to convince the jury to execute him for his crimes. opening statements began just moments ago. we'll take you live to the courthouse coming up. unbelievable! toenail fungus? seriously? smash it with jublia! jublia is a prescription medicine proven to treat toenail fungus. use jublia as instructed by your doctor. look at the footwork! most common side effects include ingrown toenail, applicatio

for more let me bring in lanny davis, former special council to the white house. carol helman. great to have all of you with us tonight. caroline, you first. is this going to be an issue in 2016? it seems like the republicans just can't bring themselves to say we're willing to discriminate against gay people. because that's what they're doing. >> indeed that is what's happening. as you noted, 55% of americans support gay marriage. if you look at folks 30 and under, it's eight out of ten. so this issue has been decided for newer generations. it won't be an issue in ten years. and i do think it will be an issue in the 2016 election, because it is one of a series of cultural wedge issue where is there is a very clear choice between democrats and republicans. >> brad, the fact that hillary clinton made a definitive statement about this last week tells me she gets it, she understands where the country is moving. and isn't willing to discriminate against americans. so what does this do if anything, for her campaign? >> well i think it's very important. i mean i'm glad that she clarif

let me bring in lanny davis, former special council to the white house, and also genevieve woods. great to have both of you with us tonight. i want to play a clip from hillary's round table today about health care. a lot of people are saying don't run away from health care the way democrats did in the midterms. i happen to be one of those folks. this is her comment on that today. >> if something were to happen with his job for insurance, or if the affordable care act was repealed, you know i have a preexisting condition. >> one of the most important features for millions of americans in the affordable care act is to prohibit insurers from discriminating against people with preexisting conditions. one of the many reasons why i will defend all of those important changes in the affordable care act is because of somebody like you jennifer. >> i want folks watching this program tonight to capture that sound byte. hillary's not talking to the cameras. hillary's having a conversation across the table in a very low-key, slow, and consuming manner with this person who says hey, i really ne
