hillary clinton and you need to ask her what she knew and how much she knew about monica lewinsky. when you have lindsay lohan and you have to ask her is she clean and sober, sometimes the direct approach is fine but other times you do have to show that you care about them as a human being before you go in for what would be considered the kill. and i don't consider myself to be someone who goes for the kill anyway. that is not my style. >> tough questions which you do ask. think about everybody you interviewed, you missed a question. >> it happens every single interview. >> if you could pick one, the one you go how did i not ask that? >> normally it's there. normally it's there in terms of what i want to get to, a lot of times it's a time restraint, a lot of time the interview goes in a direction that i didn't expect to it go, one of the things i always said back to these people getting in the business is the worst thing you can do and you know this very well, because you're doing it right now, the worst thing -- i'm kidding. >> i never think about the next question. >> the worst t

. -- about whitewater, not yet about monica lewinsky. one of the reasons it has never been released is maybe nixon provided advice. i cannot find out any other reason. it is interesting how clinton closed with nixon. when he dies, the announcement comes not from the nixon family but from the white house. clinton loved it. -- nixon would have loved that. it would have made him very happy. as they start to write the eulogy, clinton is determined to recast nixon that he's beginning to face this conservative republican attack. he wants to recast him as a moderate. as republican from a different time, he had attacked policy that was balanced. nixon uses that eulogy as a way to with nixon back to the -- to get nixon back to the sensible center. "may the day of judging richard nixon by one event alone come to an end." >> i know i'm jumping all over. people come by this book and get chronological. >> it is not pure friendship or pure enemies. one of the most amazing arts is -- arcs is between truman and eisenhower. the great global hero of the w

during the year of monica lewinsky, the republicans' ratings went down, the president's ratings went down. bill clinton's ratings stay ud just like this because everybody knew that chris: let's talk about one guy you covered well who may have been haunted by demons. you wrote about nixon. >> this is -- this was in the worst period of water-gate. someone broke into our georgetown home. but ours was not the only one. break-ins, telephone, tap-ins were very common in that critical period when richard nixon was committed not just to defeating him. he wanted to destroy them. chris: he authorized the brookings break-ins and you had your papers and your files and nothing else thrown or anything. >> that was the suspicious part. nothing was taken from the house but my files and any notebooks in the basement. fortunate lirks we heard the man in the basement. i had a shotgun in the house. -- chris: i thought that was and interesting fact we know about you. second amendment guy. great book, rather -- >> "rather outspoken." chris: when we come back, tell me something i don't know. chris: when we

but made big news when you had hillary on and were asking her about the scandal, monkackalu icica lewinsky. is there a method, what is the -- >> there are many different ways to get results, and there is the iron fist, there's the velvet hammer, and there's the way you would do it if you were at a cocktail party, in someone's home, or if you ran into someone in a restaurant. very few people walk up to someone and go right between the eyes. i don't think that's a method that yields great results. i have always felt there's a way to ask a question. it's not beating around the bush. it's putting a question in a way that people say, this makes common sense. i know where he's going. i know he wants to ask. if you have jim mcgreevey on and you think how could he think he would get away with what he was doing. when you have hillary clinton and you need to ask her what she knew and how much she knew about monica lewinsky. when you have lindsay lohan and you have to ask if she's clean and sober, sometimes the direct approach is fine, but sometimes you have to show you care about them as a human bei

that is important because of the monica lewinsky scandal, ford and carter were working behind the scenes to try to convince clinton not to fight all the way to the senate, take a censure in the house, something that would take the pressure off the political system and not send the country to a trial. clinton is interested in this. he pursues it with four. clinton works behind the scenes to be a witness. he says, i cannot do. even as it heads to trial, ford wants to help, but he says, i can help you if you admit it. clinton can't go there. i think clinton was always grateful for ford's interested in protecting the presidency but also in keeping the country from the worst kind of destruction. >> you said earlier you started with harry truman. what was your column? >> mine was nixon. >> what about the relationship between richard nixon and john kennedy before? >> what i have not understood is those men were friend in the 1950's. they had come to washington at the same time. they shared a sleeper berth on a train at one point. nixon was invited to tender the's wedding. -- to kennedy's weddin

the law linda tripp put on the map when she recorded monica lewinsky. the incident in question involves court judge joan gordon. the police sergeant got into an argument with the judge about a warrant. the sergeant may have recorded the argument using his smartphone without a judge's consent. maryland does not permit of the recording by law without the other persons approval. the sergeant has been on the force for 18 years. in april he was in court on a charge with leaving the scene at an accident. thatas

during the monica lewinsky time it was very fractious. it right, that was a breakdown certainly. >> on that point, that's interesting. when i read that i was struck by the fact that today with the internet is with all the bloggers as they are, with the immediacy so much faster even than 2000, these mistakes will keep coming. i mean, only today there was a rumor that gorbachev had died. it was started by a fake account for the swedish prime minister. >> yes. >> and it was reported by a number of journalists that i sawsaw on both sides of the atlantic without checking and i thought, we're entering a dangerous period where twitter and social media, good experienced journalists are cutting corners in their race to break something. >> two things. one, you're absolutely right. you can get a rumor started that way and even mainstream organizations can pick it up. the gorbachev thing happened today. and we had the governor of south carolina who was a rumor from a fictitious outlet saying she was to be indicted. totally false. and politicians use

said that there, who blamed the monica lou winssy thing, in in the earlier days, blamed the monica lewinskyst right-wing conspiracy and we all know the monica lewinsky thing turned out to be essentially true. >> right. also echoing a recent speech in the "washington post" two sundays ago by two political scientistings look the headline, face it the pun pubs are the problem. that was -- republicans are the problem. that was signal item for liberal movement to say, yes, here's a meme, all we can gather around that the republican party is controlled by cooknd nuts and tea partiers and everybody else. even if problem any is not a bad guy the obama campaign will win running against the republican at large as opposed to the presidential candidate. i think that is the plan. you saw it all over the place yesterday on the shows. >> you're reminding me that the republican party was a bunch nuts. now you i didn't think of that until you brought it up. now i'm reminded about it. look at other questions david gregory asked. he said isn't the recovery really slow? he also said you can't guaranty jobs. he
