the republicans that were led by newt gingrich and trent lott made a break and said keep us in control of congress to hold hiss feet to the fire and the american people responded to that message and i would makehe the argument what we saw the next couple of years where we had balanced budgets in terms of the outlays going out in the existing budgets we saw the defense of marriage act and i would say some of the best conservative government we had was the second term of bill clinton working hand-in-hand with the republican congress and sometimes nose to nose as the case may be. the republican party for whatever reason has chosen not to do that. they've chosen not to say vote for us to hold her accountable.c i suspect it's because the base is much more split and one of the things we have seen in the racist republicans when they try to stand up to donald trump. scott walker, bobby jindal, rand paul stood up to donald trump early in the primary they paid a prr terrible price. go back to the republican convention in the vote your conscience speech and then use all thyousaw the republicans p

the mississippi legislature and powerful republican party allies and then senate majority leader trent lott of mississippi. by 2004, this is to be governor haley barbour, the chair of the republican national committee and 37 other powerful politicians all ascended events in the 21st century. earl holt, the chair, gave $65,000 to republican campaign funds in recent years including donations to the 2016 presidential campaigns of rand paul, rick santorum and ted cruz. enjoyed precisely the cachet of respectability that racism requires to achieve its own goals within american society. the website of hatred and lies provided self-serving education dylan roof craved, he drank in the poison of the message, got into his car, drove to charleston, entered the manual amd church and landed in a bible study with a group of african-americans who were the very model of respectability. he prayed with them, read the bible, thought they were so nice, and shot them dead, leaving just one woman alive so she could tell the world what he had done and why you are taking over our country, he said. he knew this was

heard of trent lott? you know who he is, right? he and i had had a huge battle over campaign finance reform so he did not like me. he took over the highway safety subcommittee and he wouldn't let me testify on a bill dealing with rollovers so we went to the top staffer of the committee chair, he was not the chair, we went to the chair, ted stevens of alaska who didn't have a dog in this fight as they say who arranged for a small private meeting with us, senator stevens, senator lot and ranking senator of hawaii. lot was very irritated he walked into the meeting really mad, but he came because his chair had told him he had to. and we presented our case in about ten minutes, very concise, about the dangers of rollover in cars and why something needed to be done in the congress and he really got interested in the safety issues and one of the things he said was, you know, i get it. he says, my son makes me strap those babies inside front ways and back ways and upside down and inside out, those are his grandch

trent lott and tom dashle, the lead thaerz year, they forged an agreement that came to pass in may of that year when jeffers switched parties and it started out with republicans were in control and jeffers switched parties and he talked caucus with the democrats and that power sharing came into play and dashle was in the majority for six or seven months. >> it is fascinating. very quickly what, is left on the table for congress that possibly factors in here. >> right. a couple of things here. merit garland, that was the big push by democrats to move through the senate. >> that didn't work out. democrats were going to try to make that a race for chuck grassley who is up in a swing state in iowa, chairman of the judiciary committee and against patty judge and the other thing left on the table was a contempt of congress citation for bryan pagliano and the former i.t. specialist at the state department that set up the personal service for hillary clinton. they will hold him in content in november but they wanted to do that before the election, continuing to push the issues with hillary cl

trent lott, tom daschle, republican, democratic leaders that year. they forged an alliance. an agreement that came to pass in may of that year when jim jeffords switched party. jeffords switched parties. he talked caucus with the democrats. and that power sharing agreement, came into play. that's what was in the majority leader for six, seven months. >> fascinating. very quickly, what's left on the table. for congress that possibly factors in here. >> couple things here. merit garland. the big push by democrats to try to move merit garland through the senate. that didn't work out. in fact. democrats were going to try to make that ape race for chuck grassley. chairman of the judiciary committee. patty judge. not a factor whatsoever. and the thing that was left on the table was a contempt of congress citation. brian pagliano, former it specialist at the state department who set up the personal server for hillary clinton. they will hold him in contempt, in november, republicans wanted to do that before the election. continuing to push the issues with hillary clinton that she is

there was a time, it's not that long ago, when trent lott or tom daschle or george mitchell or bob dolemean, they attack each other during the day and sit down and have a beer and work some things out. i think it would be good to get back to that time. but again, the fact that these republicans are talking to hillary about her transition indicates they know what's coming down on november 8th. >> well, john, i don't know -- >> i remember a time -- >> yeah. >> no, john, go ahead, finish your thought. >> i was going to say i remember a time when bill rush used to do his radio show from the nixon library. >> one. >> john, let, let me ask you, because i do think americans are tired of gridlock, right, but you look at what's happening to paul ryan right now. he may lose his speakership because he's not enthusiastically supporting donald trump. so, many voters just stepping back and saying that doesn't bode well for our future no matter who gets to be in the white house. >> well, that's been a problem on the republican side of the aisle, that predated donald trump. bob michels had to deal with

he followed you after you step down and 96, trent lott. former senator dole: i thought i was going to be president. [laughter] former senator kassebaum: we all did. former senator dole: it was too late for a recount. [laughter] former senator kassebaum: anyways, i tell you who i miss and disagreed with. president reagan, i have been in the room with him when he was trying to talk about something that we did not agree with -- on, but he always managed to find some way to end the conversation in an upbeat way. i really miss that today. i really miss that sense of energy, enthusiasm, and hope that things could be worked through. certainly, you who are leaders here at the universe -- at the university, have to know that that is needed and it takes time, patience and dedication that i do not think many are willing to give in congress today. i am very disappointed to say that in the congress. it is easy to say now that i am not there.

election, two weeks before the election about this juncture, the republicans led by newt gingrich and trent lott, made a clean break and said, if you vote for bill clinton, keep us in control of congress to hold his feet to the fire and the him accountable and american people respond to the message and i make the argument what we saw the next couple years, where we had balanced budget in terms of outlay going budget, if not paying down the debt, what we reform, defensee of marriage act, some of the best conservative government was had since reagan left the second term of bill clinton, working hand in hand with the and lican congress sometimes nose to nose as the case may be. the republican party for reason in this election, has chosen not to do that. hey have chosen not to say, if you vote for hillary clinton, vote for us in order to hold her accountable. it is because the base is more split over the trump nomination than is bob dole. we have seen in the race, republicans when they try donald trump paid a terrible price for this. go back to the primary with jindahl, ker, bonnie stood up to donal

now my experience was in the clinton administration that senator trent lott, who was head of the republican point person on confirmation was actually quite cooperative. we actually got our cabinet in place i believe at the time more promptly than any other administration had done in modern times. we had one exception with the attorney general portman. and usually if you look back there has been kind of one problem or one issue with a cabinet nominee. in our case, it was an important position. but that's essential. and of course you can just see -- >> sorry, i'm not sure what you said. >> i thought i was clear. i thought i was clear! i thought i was clear! >> who invited siri. >> well, siri is part of that technology i was talking about. give me my notes, max. >> you have to make this stuff up. >> no, that's it. that's it. i think i've sufficiently regroup. but i'm not sure. that's all right. i think clay also noted the other point. you do have to simultaneously appoint the cabinet and the white house. and in our case, because we did start late, because of what i just referred to, i think we

i and trent lott have cochaired that project. is almost aion perfect example of the work we have done to bring sides together and talk about things from different perspectives. energy is the lifeblood of this country's economy. energy,try runs on energy policy, and climate important.ery i shared a stage with rockefeller in new york some years ago and explained to the both families came from the petroleum industry. i explained my father ran a gas station, different from the rockefellers. coming attext of these questions, energy and the environment, from different perspectives, one thing to understand is the thing that is constant in energy is change. change is happening at such a rapid pace it is hard to understand it, to keep up with it. there is a revolution going on in our country on how we generate, supply, and use energy. occurring inon is ways that meet multiple challenges, liability, claim change -- climate change, in many ways it is happening in the marketplace, aggressively in the market place, and also in respect to regu

look, i believe trent lott is an obamacare lobbyist, bob dole is an obamacare lobbyist.orts of people on our side of the aisle who go to washington so they can enrich themselves as well. these are real issues trump needs to talk about. everything else is a distraction that gives people reasons not to vote for him, as opposed to making life better for people. >> mike needham, thank you for being with us. >> still ahead, no question donald trump had a bad week, but some are saying he may have had his worst week in his presidential campaign. some say even presidential campaign history. yeah, let's wait until the polls come out. let's just wait. we'll be right back. when i was a little kid, i made a deal with myself that i would never grow up. we met when we were very young... i was 17, he was 18. we made the movie the book of life. we started doing animation. with the surface book, you can do all this stuff. you can actually draw on the screen. so crisp. i love it. it's almost like this super powerful computer and a tablet had the perfect baby. it's a typewriter for writing

ask people like trent lott who worked with hillary clinton in the senate.y were extraordinarily positive about their time with her there and said she kept her head down. well versed and she knew how to do deals. do you think that changes if she's president? >> she's already boxed herself in. she ran to the left of bernie sanders. she'll prove wikileaks right. she's a liberal. the party of bill clinton is dead. the democratic party shifted far left. >> everybody hold these thoughts. we have hallie jackson standing by and she has to run to the airport. donald trump battled back against allegations of unwanted sexual touching by several women yesterday and made his case in rallies in florida and ohio from afternoon into the night suggesting a conspiracy of lies is being leveled against him. he said why didn't the writer of the 12-year-old article in "people" magazine mention the incident in quotes? because it did not happen wrote donald trump. trump also spoke about the woman and claims in general before thousands of his supporters. >> think of it. she's doing

clinton actually -- when she was in the united states senate, i was always surprised at people like trent lottld come up to me and when i would ask sneeringly, he would say she's great. she works harder than everybody else. ask hillary details of the bill. works hard in committee. always shows up. makes everybody around her smarter. it's the famous joe klein line when he asked general petraeus in the middle of the surge, who knows the most about what you're having to do in iraq. petraeus goes you mean other than hillary clinton? and what? it's not even close. everybody expected hillary clinton to go in in 2000 and be what barack obama was and marco rubio were. and ted cruz. she boats who immediately got in and started running for president. hillary clinton did just the opposite. kept her head down. she stayed away from press conferences. she worked. it's like donald trump said when he kocomplimented her. she just keeps working and going at it. and she gained the respect, such respect from people who worked for her on the hill. on the other side, donald trump, donald trump -- both mitch mcconne

lott wrote a book called, crisis point. in today's "washington post," a thoughtful story features tom and trent the opportunities in a clinton-ryan administration for the country to govern again. we talk about the obligations an opportunities for governance around these issues. really a pleasure to welcome general dick myers to the bipartisan policy center. he has a tremendous record of national service and courage. his most courageous event might be taking over interrim presidency of kansas state university six months ago. i wonder navigating the pentagon prepares you for bureaucracy of 200 tenured professors. general myers is a four-star general. the 15th chairman of joint chiefs of staff between 2001 and 2005. among his many accomplishments he was awarded the presidential medal of freedom. we will soon be joined by our friend chairman mike rogers. i believe his shoes are being polished as we speak. i will introduce him when he joins us. so, just to kind of get the conversation started i thought it would be useful to reflect a little bit on the broad question why is agricultural security important? why is it a national security

he and senator lott wrote a book called "crisis point" and in today's "washington post" a thoughtful story that features tom and trentut the opportunities in a clinton/ryan administration for the country to start to govern again and we'll talk about what we see is the obligations and opportunities for governance around these issues. definitely a pleasure to welcome general myers here to the bipartisan policy center. he has a tremendous record of national service and courage. i think his most courageous event might have been taking over the interim presidency of kansas state university six months ago. i wonder if the pentagon prepared you for the bureaucracy of professors. the general is a four-star general, 15th chairman of the joint chiefs of staff during 2001-2005 and among his many accomplishments, he was also awarded the presidential medal of freedom. we will soon be joined by our friend chairman mike rogers, i believe his shoes are being polished as we speak and i will introduce him when he joins us. so just to kind of get the conversation started, i thought it would be useful just to ask to you reflect a little
