completely changed my view of washington politics the media everything it was a did he called i dated monica lewinsky you can see by this lovely tabloid cover and the author talks about his day with lewinsky and why he did it almost gloats about it in this way he says she may be guilty of poor judgment but she never asked for this that said let the. whoring begin in which he says i'm going to write this entire article making use of what happened to this girl even though it think it's awful awful and then he admits to be brutally honest i got with her because i figured that behind her initial aggressiveness lurked an easy perhaps winning bit of no frills hooka the writer of that page was not a mother then cnn's jake tapper oh jakey boy and he hates it when it's brought up. because he's like i'm sorry top this is it repeats itself and we have done nothing to change that and you still see it happening today. as we go to break clock watchers don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics we've covered on facebook you tube and twitter and while you're over checking us out be sure to check out ou

insane bill clinton should've resigned during the monica lewinsky affair. >> she still calls hillarylinton a roll model. how she looks to follow in her mentors footsteps warmer time. to the top of the democratic ticket. >> was get right back to questions in a town hall. this one from sandy hockenberry. >> hi, senator. how do you plan if you the candidate to reach the voters that voted for obama twice and turned around in 2016 and would overturn? >> my plan for winning over all voters is to show up, listen, here what is on people's minds and fight for them. that is what i've done him whole career as a public servant and when i first ran for congress in 2006 my house district was a two to one republican district. for the first time my 24 points. doesn't i have had three senate races in 2010, 12 and 18 and in those three races i have the highest vote total of the history of the state is 72%, higher than president obama, higher than hillary clinton and higher than any person ran for senate or government ever prayed the last election i 118 counties that run for president trump i believe i

the white house that argument would not have been won he could have made which was all about monica lewinsky and the impeachment effort against bill clinton you take that out of the mix al gore is the president in 2000 so this notion that somehow or other the democrats will suffer if they go down that path i think it's a myth being put out by the republicans to try to make democrats think twice about where they want to do this i think the record is otherwise jimmy carter won. in 76 thanks to nixon having been almost impeached and and bush won in 2000 i would say a large part because bill clinton was impeached ok danny i mean in the 2000 they're going to hang on to that 2000 election was determined by the u.s. supreme court let's not forget that go ahead danny richard who is the actual leader of the democrat party had left i love to hear your thoughts on that go ahead richard. i think palosi insure the ones who go in and meet with the president on issues of consequence and this is true only for the out party and i think the fact that palosi cleaned his clock around the government shutdown sho

the white house that argument would not have been one he could have made which was all about monica lewinsky and the impeachment effort against bill clinton you take that out of the mix al gore is the president in 2000 so this notion that somehow or other the democrats will suffer if they go down that path i think it's a myth being put out by the republicans to try to make democrats think twice about where they want to do this i think the record is otherwise jimmy carter won she had not exactly a shrinking violet go ahead danny keep going that took a minute i mean it took richard a minute to answer that question that should be that was a direct question we don't even know who's really running the i said president schumer i didn't take 5 seconds. he's going to end is not the case we know that we know that we know that that is not the case we know nancy pelosi is not really running democrat party it's obvious. danielle to a back to you who do you think is running who is who do you think it is i think c n n n m s n b c is go ahead danny. c n n n m s n b c really. yeah i sometimes think that you

bill clinton's impeachment started with the land deal that went wrong with monica lewinsky. >> some say not a proper comparison but i understand she doesn't want to take that chance of president trump's approval ratings going up. let's move to the issue of gun violence as we talked about. obviously, after the shooting in virginia beach, is there evidence that the issue of gun control, gun violence is enough to move democratic voters? it's a priority, but is it enough to disqualify some candidates because of their position or to lift others because of their position? >> you know, it's not just a democratic issue. it's a republican issue. the gop is allergic to anything with gun control. but when you have democrats talking about this, democrats understand that there needs to be some kind of situation where we can keep our guns but there needs to be more control over who gets guns. gun show loophole, things of that nature. but how far you go is the issue. but when you look at those who use guns, everyone in this population. it's not just a singular population. everyone has an understanding

that case had major historical ramifications because that case led to the discovery of the monica lewinskyto impeachment. the supreme court draws an important distinction between a president's official and unofficial acts. you cannot sue a president for his official acts. he has immunity for that. if he does things in his personal capacity, including attacking people, potentially defaming them, then, yes, that can be the subject of a suit. i know what our viewers are thinking. if you can sue the sitting president, why can't you indict the sitting president? we have that doj policy. our viewers ask a lot about it. in the doj policy itself, they talk about the paula jones decision. criminal charges are different because in a criminal case you can end up with a president behind bars versus a civil lawsuit. it can all end up in a president having to pay money and doj says that's different. we don't actually know the answer yet. the policy would have to change and some day perhaps the supreme court will tell us. >> give us your top questions this week? >> will the trump administration try for t

issue that -- when she threw bill clinton under the bus and said he should have resigned over the monica lewinskydal, sheet -- >> harris: please call the clinton scandal. >> dagen: we talked about that before. over 20 years, the clinton endorsement money was taken. an interesting strategy for 2020 primaries. time and again, that is kirsten gillibrand -- al franken was her squash partner. she would do anything to highlight her gender, but that's all she's got. guess what? there are other women who do a better job. >> steve: she's just fake. i think it's really encouraging when you see people -- the good sense of the american people, when they see someone so transparent leaf egg like her. another one i would put in that category is beto o'rourke. people see right through them and i think that's good news. >> jessica: i think there's something aboard going on, putting aside the interests of the al franken issue, you are finally starting to see them take pot shots at each other. the first few months, everyone was taking selfies with one another, now you have bernie and elizabeth warren -- fun -- >> h

the worst he can come up with is that famous semen-stained dress of monica lewinsky's. donald trump's -- not one year of donald trump's tax returns have yet been made available. his financial records at deutsche bank are not available. it's a completely different kind of investigation. the charges are at different, opposite ends of the spectrum. ken starr started with a real estate deal in arkansas. mueller starts with the hijacking of american democracy. so the comparison, i think, is an interesting one but the contrast is a lot more interesting. so i think the idea that clinton, you know, came out better from impeachment than when he went in might be something to do with the fact the american people looked at what he was being investigated for and concluded it was not serious. and so i think as an argument not to impeach trump, it's a very weak one. >> kimberly, you hear the argument being made. there are nods to the late '90s. you listen to speaker pelosi and other members of the democratic house leadership, how much are they investing in that historical analog? >> i
