>> bill clinton was elected attorney general of arkansas. the next year hillary rodham got a job with a little rock law firm. >> it was the white shoe law firm in little rock. very high lly placed. the first woman but she was a rainmaker. >> in 1978 bill clinton won for governor of arkansas and elected to a two-year team and they moved from fayetteville to the governor's mansion. >> still had posters on the wall and we literally moved our belongings the first time in the back of a pickup truck. >> the couple bought into a real estate venture called the white water development corporation with arkansas friends. they didn't know at the time how significant this investment would become. on february 27th, 1980, hillary rodham gave birth to their daughter, chelsea. that november bill clinton lost his reelection to the governorship. >> hillary and i have shed a few tears for our loss of last even but we accept the world of our people. >> after the defeat, hillary stepped in and essentially took over his management of his political career and that

>> first of all, bill clinton is one that signed nafta. in the history of our country, that's been the worst trade deal ever. >> isn't that her job? >> what that has done to this country, that has cleaned out our factories. i mean, i go -- i just went through new york. we won in landslides. new york and maryland and pennsylvania and connecticut, all of these places. i toured them because, you know, i wanted their votes and they were all great. they have been cleaned out. 50% down with manufacturing. almost every one of them. 45% to 50% down. these companies have moved to mexico. they moved to different -- nafta is a disaster. it was bill clinton's deal. he's the one that signed it. and for him to be involved with the economy is a joke. okay? it's a joke. now, people didn't see the effects until later because nafta took effect a little bit later after he was done. nafta's probably the worst -- one of the worst deals we ever signed in this country from the standpoint of economic development or jobs. >> it seems like she almost wants to run w

clinton, you know, bill clinton the bill clinton experience will of course be an issue but i don't think the american people the end of the day will be interested in any of this tabloid stuff that's been around 30 years. this election will be about the future and who has the best policies and who has the best plan. >> before we go, i just want to play something. she's now imitating donald trump which is an interesting new strategy. she said this is what a debate would be like between them. here's hillary clinton. >> let's suppose here's the question, so what is your plan to create jobs? his answer is i'm going to create them, they are going to be great, i know how to do it. but i'm not telling you what it is i'm going to do. >> when is he going to tell us? >> he's already laid out his tax plan. he has a series of speeches coming in the next few months. but i mean it's clear that washington doesn't get it. i mean the regulations that have been layered on us in the last, even during the clinton administration and bush administration have stifled the economy. our manufacturing sector is gon

>> what about bill clinton? is it good or bad for her to be advertising that he's going to have a policy advisor's role if she's elected. >> she has to be in charge. he's held to a high standard. donald trump can say things carelessly and for whatever reasons, not pay a price. she should not have said that and now they're trying to walk it back. >> is it helpful if you are the treasury secretary ahead of the council, how do you work around the fact that he's a former president with a lot of experience in this and it could be disrupt activiive. >> it is what it is. >> no one takes the job in the clinton's administration will have any doubt. he will be involved. hillary was involved in health care when there were plenty of people in administration in 1992 working in health care. they had to deal with the fact that clinton's spouse will be in politics. that's the case. >> be prepared. >> it causes frictions between al gore. >> she cannot -- she's not going to give up the political benefit to be involved. there is o

so much of the rhetoric directed at hillary clinton is designed to bait bill clinton into getting into this. for two reasons, he sees liabilities there that he wants to bring into the campaign. but also, with trump, trying to make it look to people like every major political figure you know is against him. if you don't like the way politics works, there's the establishment, they're all against him. >> it was a huge brawl in baseball this weekend with the texas rangers and the toronto blue jays. >> what a hook there. >> heck of a punch. but brawls where it's like hold me back thing, i just imagine bill clinton somewhere with staff like literally like a baseball brawl, holding him while he's yelling at the television. he's got to do that for six months. >> and some point, somebody's going to get tired and he's going to break free. >>> also today trump's strategy plans, saying, quote, getting nasty with hillary won't work. instead he wants to get people to question her character, bring up benghazi. short time ago clinton declined to engage. kasie hunt said she planned to, quote, draw a co

, not against bill clinton. but in kentucky, there was hillary clinton saying, if i'm elected president, i'm putting bill in charge of the economy. is there a risk here that she's opening herself up to the kinds of attacks she's trying to say really aren't jermaine to this election? >> i think that's a potential side effect of what happened here. i think a lot of why you're hearing so much about bill clinton over the last 24 hours, has to do specifically with kentucky, where the clinton name means a lot, where they have deep ties, where a lot of people remember good times under bill clinton in the 1990s. her campaign has been pushing back against this idea that it's a new thing, that they're always said that bill clinton would play some sort of kitchen cabinet role and insisting she didn't go further. but the issue of women in particular, i do think this is very uncomfortable territory for hillary clinton to be on. i think you saw that when donald trump launched the enabler attacks a few days ago and the reporte

>> first of all, bill clinton is one that signed nafta. in the history of our country, that's been the worst trade deal ever. >> isn't that her job? >> what that has done to this country, that has cleaned out our factories. i -- i just went through new york. we won in landslides. new york and maryland and pennsylvania and connecticut, all of these places. i toured them because, you know, i wanted their votes and they were all great. they have been cleaned out. 50% down with manufacturing. almost every one of them. 45% to 50% down. these companies have moved to mexico. they moved to different -- nafta is a disaster. it was bill clinton's deal. he's the one that signed it. and for him to be involved with the economy is a joke. okay? it's a joke. now, people didn't see the effects until later because nafta took effect a little bit later after he was done. nafta's probably the worst -- one of the worst deals we ever signed in this country from the standpoint of economic development or jobs. >> it seems like she almost wants to run with him. le

with bill clinton except at that time she was lesser well known, of course, but, of course, bill clinton very well known right now and i think that if bill clinton does come in -- rather hillary clinton does win, you are going to see bill clinton really become in charge of or certainly take over helping trying to steer the economy back on track from where it is right now. >> she said she wants him to be her economic czar. so we'll see what happens. mark preston, thanks so much. >>> still to come in the "newsroom," when it comes to the people running for the white house, how much does character really matter?

family, not just hillary clinton but bill clinton as well. donald trump said that the clintons, he said in an interview last night are just dirty players. he doesn't want the campaign to be about this. but he has to respond when he's hit like this. and that's why he's fighting back. in this case it's not entirely clear what provoked this attack, but it is a part of this now blanketing of negative attacks about the clintons on whitewater. trump has hit them about foreign donations to the clinton foundation. now about this vince foster case as well. and yesterday he played a part of that clip, that incendiary, that ad that's salacious, i guess, perhaps the best way to describe it. also includes the voice of monica lewinsky in that ad where you saw clinton with a cigar in his mouth. this was a topic raised during an interview with bill o'reilly where bill o'reilly said in effect to trump is this really the way you want the campaign to go? take a listen. >> it's kind of tawdry stuff, and i'm not sure that this is a good thing to do that. >> you t

clinton. >> i think bill clinton has done a terrific job. i don't think he's been treated very fairly. paula jones is a loser but she may be responsible for bringing down a president indirectly. look at the trouble bill clinton got into with something that was totally unimportant and they tried to impeach him, which was nonsense. >> okay. >> donald trump is continuing to be consistently inconsistent. in the 90s he said one thing, today he said something else. that's a pattern. it's entertaining, it's a side show. the voters want to hear conversations about them, their future, their lives. >> except they don't seem to want that, mark. that doesn't seem to be what's resonating. >> what resonates in ratings isn't what's going to resonate with people around the kitchen table. >> the polls have moved dramatically. it is resonating with somebody. >> strategically it doesn't make a lot of sense. you don't go into personal attacks this early in the season. it usually gets chippy around july, august. we're only in may and he's already doing this. you

they only covered what i said about bill clinton. john: these are just a couple of facts -- bill clinton was impeached over his affair with monica lewinsky. by the time he left office, he had democrats winning in the mid-term election, and aiming seats, almost unprecedented, and him exiting office with an approval rating north of 60%. how is it possibly politically savvy to relitigate something that didn't work the first time and try to relitigate it. say for thee just record that i hope the campaign is fought on issues. nobody has asked me to compare the health care plans of hillary clinton and donald trump. this is what people are covering now. --ald trump continues to see to steal news cycles away from hillary clinton. i would nor donald trump if i was hillary clinton. about comparing bill clinton as a sitting president with a good economy it's ace abroad, i think reasonable response to say in the 1990's, all of a sudden, it is the royal we. it wasn't even in her announcement. -- now it is the royal we she was the president's wife

bill clinton talked about reforming them. hillary clinton wants to expand them. bill clinton wanted to have work requirements and welfare to get more people onto the ladder of opportunity. hillary clinton wants to expand all of these mandates and government assistance. she doesn't want to reform welfare. >> she doesn't want to reform welfare and dsn't want to reform the regulatory state. he did that. she wants to expand dodd-frank and extend it to nonbanks. she's another one of these democra dilemmas where she is trying to signal people in the center that i won't continue policies of the past. >> you would think it's an advantage to donald trump on the economy and some of the polls show that. how does hillary clinton fight back on the economy? go after the rich? >> that's what she thinks will work. i don't think that's necessarily a bad strategy just because there's a wave of populism here, right, that we believe that marginal tax rates matter. if you tax the rich, they don't do as much as they normally would to stimulate the economy. i think she's counting on th

with bill clinton getting more media attention? >> i would like to talk about what barb said about reminding people about the 90s? are we talking about peace or prosperity. charles: we are talking about the bubble. >> the bubble didn't happen in 1993 when vince foster committed suicide. i love young people to be reminded. ask former senator alfonse difficult ma to, ask former speaker newt gingrich. i didn't interrupt you. ask them how the campaign against bill clinton worked for them. it's some alternative universe if donald trump wants to run against bill clinton for president. but when they do this, the polls for bill and hillary go through the roof. charles: you would say bill clinton is fair game in ice election cycle. >> if donald trump wants to run this kind of campaign -- charles: is it fair game? >> this is a guy who appeals to racists, xenophobes. >> i think that's a yes from richard. charles: bill clinton is fair game. this is the path we are going down. but ultimately for the voters, i'm trying to make a decision. at wha

bill clinton won twice in '92 and '96. she knows it's beneficial for her to mention and remind people about what he did for the economy when he was in office and she plans to use that. later, nick meryl, the campaign spokesman said there's no formal role going forward. she means as an advisor. >> it's funny. you talk to people and every time i get into a cab and people want to talk about politics and if they're clinton fans, they talk about clinton, hillary clinton, they like her because she's experienced but mention bill clinton but say he's not necessarily a co-presidency but feel like bill clinton would be there helping, advising in formal roles. i think in some ways, there's a reality that people like the '90s. they like the 22 million jobs that bill clinton created during his two terms. i think that's why she's sort of name dropping her husband. >> he left office after two terms. a lot of us remember. his job approval number was very high in the upper 50s. 59% or along those lines which is impressive for a secretary p

attacks. >> bill clinton and what we saw him say. he was referring to the vince foster references that donald trump was making. >> sure he was. >> is bill clinton going to continue to deal with those things as donald trump mentions them? >> well, i think as i just did, it's to let people know these are, you know, attacks that have been highly examined, been dismissed, are not based in fact at all, and they're typical of donald trump. look, this is a guy who's been kind of pretending and being a bit of a phony all the way through his campaign. he tells mitt romney to release his tax returns in 2012 -- >> that was then. >> and now he won't release his tax returns and when we find a couple, what do we find out? he's paid zero in taxes. >> those are romney's taxes and that was then. totally different case? >> zero in income tax farce guy who claims to be a billionaire. maybe he is. but zero taxes? you know what voters think? this is a guy trying to scam the system. a guy trying to get by to take care of himself. he's a guy who rooted for

. >> i mean, have you ever read what hillary clinton did to the women that bill clinton had affairs with? and they're going after me with women? give me a break, folks! >> reporter: in just the past week, trump went further, drudging up old, unproven allegations that former. president bill clinton once sexually assaulted a woman, claims attorneys have denied. >> vincent foster jr. committed suicide. >> reporter: a friend of the clintons who investigators concluded committed suicide in the early '90s but unfounded conspiracy theories that foster was murdered have lingers. trump told "the washington post" in an interview on monday, it's one thing, whether it's whitewater or vince fost or benghazi, it's always a mess with hillary. >> does she have a good body? no, does she have a fat ass, absolutely. >> reporter: trump's advise ofs say it's payback for this ad going after the real estate tycoon's past dealings with women. >> what he's doing is exposing not just bill clinton for what he was, what he had done, but it's the same as it relates to hillary. she attacked mr. trump as being a sexis

but she has to play it very careful low around bill clinton. he is absolutely popular with a certain segment of the democratic electorate who remember the '90s but he's also unpopular among many bernie sanders voters who remember him passing these trade deals that hurt american workers. he helped sort of deregulate the banking system which allowed banking to kind of run amuck. so he's not universally popular in the parts of the party she needs to win over so she needs to do that push-pull. she has to talk about how great he was in certain ways but not fully embrace him to the extent that it makes minimum more controversial. >> we just got new sound and bill clinton being asked about the role that he would play in his wife's administration. he's in puerto rico. let's play it. >> i have asked actually to be given the job of trying to help every part of the united states that has been left out and left behind economically. and i think it is very, very important. >> that's a little bit of what he said, not exactly hitting in on his role if he is th

." >> you put stuff up about hillary clinton and bill clinton, it is tawdry stuff. i am not sure it is a good thing. to do that. >> i am only responding to what they do. she has been very nasty. >> i understand what you're trying to do is inhibit mrs. clinton from attacking you personally, i think, if you play that game, i can come back 10 times harder. i understand that. but you know it makes the country look bad abroad, and things like that. that is what worries me. >> i don't like doing that, but i have no choice. when she hits me on things, i have no choice. it is unfair. they have been dirty players, historically, and i have to fight back the way i have to fight back. john: mark, there's been a lot of spin on this issue from both sides. so frame the question before us, from the lead singer of the 90's band, spin doctors. >> is bill clinton's history during the 90's a pocket full of kryptonite for hillary? [laughter] mark: is that really the question? john: yes, what say you? mark: this is also complicated. a lot of them are fair game, but many are allegations a

bill clinton's past. welcome, everybody. brand new hour two of "america's newsroom." i'm martha maccallum. eric: hello, martha. i'm eric shawn in for bill hemmer. donald trump back on the campaign trail. he is hitting four states over the next four days and coming out swinging, directly at hillary clinton, questioning her claims that she protects women. mr. trump telling bill o'reilly why he was forced to go down this road. >> i don't like doing that but i have no choice. she hits me on things. i have no choice. it is unfair. they have been dirty players historically, i have to fight back the way i have to fight back. eric: senior national correspondent john roberts live in albuquerque, new mexico, where mr. trump is holding a rally. guess what, president clinton is in the state campaigning for his wife. john, this ad, everyone is talking bit. tell us about it. reporter: something that the trump campaign posted on its intragram site yesterday. features sound recordings of people like monica lewinsky, juan

bill clinton won here in 1996. the question is going to be the sense from both sides this is a close race. whether or not having her put in all this effort can really make a difference. i did go to an event in louisville with her and while she's hitting some of her primary themes she's also alluding to donald trump. take a look. >> there's a saying in the senate, there are two kinds of senators. show horses and work horses. i have to say, it really lifted my spirits to see exaggerator beaten in the derby. >> that's kind of the extent of it. the underhanded jab. one thing we didn't hear about, that's "new york times" story, front page yesterday on sunday talking about donald trump and women. that's been a little bit of a difficult subject for the clinton campaign to deal with. so far, no hands on that, steve. >> i had exaggerator in the derby, so i resent that comment from hillary clinton. but let me ask you quickly. we mentioned this article in "the washington post" about anxiety among some clinton supporters as th

bill clinton won it in '96. then something happened. by 2000, it's lightly shifted to be more republican and increasingly become more and more republican to the point where barack obama lost it quite candidly. it was 30.3% for brac brarack o and 55.2 for mitt romney. this is how nonobama democrat that state will become. this is her talking about who she voted for. >> did you vote for president obama in 2008 and 2012? >> you know, this election isn't about the president, it's about we put kentuckians back to work. i was actually a delegate for hillary clinton. i think i'm a clinton democrat through and through. i know there are some members of this editorial board that do as well. 12k3w >> what's going on? >> i'm not going to answer that question. look, kentucky has shifted as the south has shifted. this is a fact of life. but there's also something -- look, there are two things happening here. the good old boy network is the good old boy network is what it is. you can't get around that in the commonwealth of kentucky. and the demographi

is hillary clinton giving him an opening? >> bill clinton is absolutely fair game. not only is he her top surrogate but put in charge of the economy apparently. that being said it will be the public that decides. it will be the voters that decide if trump's tactics go too far in attacking president clinton's relationships that he had while in the white house. >> what do you think? >> absolutely president clinton is fair game. he is a former president of the united states. it makes sense that hillary clinton would mention that she would go to him to talk about the economy. let's not forget when he left the white house after eight years we had the lowest unemployment, particularly lowest african-american unemployment in the nation for the first time ever had a surplus. if that is the economy that hillary clinton is promising on the campaign trail that she can bring in if she were elected president then she should turn to the former president and he is fair game for better or for worse. >> that becomes the question because so much attention is being played to donald tr

and bill clinton now as hard as possible. that is what you're already seeing from donald trump. you've been seeing it these last few weeks. all indications are there's no signs this will slow down. you talked about the clinton campaign refusing to take the bait. although you talk with some gop strategists and strategists on both sides of the aisle who wonder if that's going to be some of the most effective way of defending against some of these attacks by donald trump. some of these supporters for donald trump started showing up basically a half an hour ago. his rally doesn't begin until 7:00 local time tonight, that's 9:00 eastern, but people are already turning out for his first campaign swing really in a few weeks. he's headed to new mexico, in order and montana. i would expect you will hear him throw some red meat to his supporters if his past stump speeches, at least lately, have been any indication, he will likely go after the clintons, including bill clinton, who is also in new mexico tonight. >> that's incredible prox

of bill clinton. there are a lot of younger millennial bernie sanders supporters that the trump team wants to hear this message for the first time in their adult life. >> right. this is where hillary clinton is most vulnerable in this. she didn't stand up for the women that bill clinton was accused of having affairs with or accused by them of assaulting. and i can see that resonating with some of these younger women. did t can be potentially an effective way to get the bernie sanders young women supporters to take a look at hillary clinton in this day and age. remember, we're in 2016 and not in the 1990s. what might have seemed acceptable in the 1990s to younger women is not acceptable anymore fop have an older woman not champion younger women who are making accusations of abuse just doesn't fly. especially when hillary clinton herself has spoken out against abuse -- sexual abuse in college campuses and sexual abuse of young women and the need to protect the young women. i can see a lot of younger ber

but look, donald trump in 1990s was a big fan of bill clinton who went so far as to say if bill clinton didn't have the problem with monica lewinsky he would have been the greatest president ever. donald trump has said so much. he's gone out so far of john miller -- i don't know the difference anymore -- donald trump has gone so far to praise and kiss up to the clintons that now that he wants to go back and destroy them, fine, that's the donald trump play book. bill clinton, not only supported violence against women act, family medical leave act, appointed women to the justice department, to top positions. so, he has a good record on women's issues. will these so-called women come out and readjudicate their criticism of the clintons? fine. >> they're not so-called. they're actually women. >> of course they are. all i'm saying is that there are issues here that donald trump would like to talk about because he done want to talk about releasing tax return. >> is clinton ready to battle that kind of battle? she was asked about this last week i guess on the campaign trail. she said essential

bill clinton denies it. many women stand by their story and there is not conclusive proof either way. one thing the allegations weren't always just about extramarital affairs which i think a lot of people could have understanding for, but they went beyond that. >> they did and if there is a bill cosby victim in there who is going to come out and go to court this is a hazard for bill clinton and therefore for hillary clinton. yesterday she said this is old news. and bill clinton will likely if he is wise say the same thing. but it's such a tender spot. bill clinton wanting to vindicate himself. i don't know if he can treat it that way. hillary clinton much more disciplined. maybe she can get through by saying that. both of their behaviors could come under a microscope and just another hazard for the clintons going forward in this campaign because as we know donald trump doesn't stop. he will go anywhere and he will stay there and pound on it. and he is relentless. >> speaking of that one of his top advisers w

clinton to the me lay lee y saying bill clinton's past is relevant and fair game because of how hillary clinton reacted to them, instead of reacting on the side of the women, he's s saying she reacted on the side of herself and her husband trying to further their political careers more than anything else and he will bring up benghazi to cast doubt whether she is fit to lead and whether she has the judgment and using benghazi as an example of that, that she wasn't awake for a 3:00 phone call, which has been disputed and she hasn't told the american people the same thing she told her daughter, that was terrorist act. of course, very early on whether this works for hillary clinton we have to wait and see. it is interesting for him to say what he's doing when in the past he's been so cagey and self-described as unpredictable as to how he goes about things. >> katy tur, thanks so much. appreciate it. as we mentioned this weekend, perhaps a sign of things to come. president obama seemingly att k attacking donald trump without ever actually using his name. >> the world is more interconnected t

by the way, bill clinton and hillary clinton are campaigning, there's bill clinton, live pictures from the virgin islands, they have their contest june 4th. hillary clinton is in lexington, kentucky. they have a primary tomorrow. stay with cnn throughout the day tomorrow for live coverage of the kentucky and oregon primaries. i will be back 5:00 p.m. eastern with a special edition of "the situation room." i will be here with the election team bringing you the first results. all of that tomorrow. >>> just ahead in "the situation room." there's growing concern about al qaeda. does the group pose a potentially bigger terror threat to the united states than isis? >>> a cnn special report takes us inside a deadly shootout between rival biker gangs. we will get a preview next. you both have a perfect driving record. >>perfect. no tickets. no accidents... >>that is until one of you . . slack, right? >>no. your insurance rates go through the roof. your perfect record doesn't get you anything. >>anything. perfect! for drivers with accident forgiveness, liberty mutual won't raise your rates due

he had interesting things to say about hillary clinton and his former rival, bill clinton. i want to get right to my political panel, trump supporter and political national commentator, scotty, and with us, cnn political comment at a timer and cnn supporter, maria cardona, a super delegate, and her firm did work for a clinton super pac, and with our, cnn political reporter, tom. and dole says he told trump newt gingrich should be his guy, his running may wa inning mate. let's listen. >> someone like newt gingrich. you know, newt, none of us are perfect, but newt gingrich i think is a good fit for trump because he can help him in all those areas, and trump has to listen. you know, you got to have some people you trust if you're the candidate that you can confide in, and they can tell you, donald, you're making a mistake, you shouldn't do this. >> just how much influence does bob dole have with donald trump? will he take his advice? >> he might. he says what a lot have said. he's been a good campaign from the beginning. in january, he said if ted cruz is the nominee, there's

in a second clinton presidency saying that clinton -- that bill clinton, the former president, would focus on helping to revitalize the economy. here's what bill clinton had to say about that in this exclusive nbc news interview. >> i'll do whatever i'm asked to do. i like this economic business. >> right now, of course, primary day, clinton focusing on trying to get those wins tonight. nbc's kristen welker joins us campaign headquarters in brooklyn, new york. this issue of bill clinton's role in a prospective clinton presidency. a fup nights ago, hillary clinton said put him in charge of the economy. i want to play this just yesterday. hillary clinton still pressing this theme. this is what she said yesterday. >> so let's suppose, here's the question. so what is your plan to create jobs? his answer is, i'm going to create 'em. they're going to be great. i know how to do it but i'm not telling you what it is i'm going to do. >> well, that was her bashing donald trump. the one i was hoping we'd play there, hillary clinton says if i'm fortunate enough to be president and he will be the

bill clinton is at 57% favoribility. the problem for trump is when he tries to respond m this way, it looks like you know, i've got to deal with the fact that women don't like him overwhelmingly. trump hasn't started on the clintons yet. he hasn't gone after that. you know that there is that jeff epstein situation where bill clinton took 26 flights on a man's ship who has been a known pedophile. having sex with young women on the planes. i can see where he took a flight and realized this is not a good guy. i should not be hanging around him. 26 flights blow that's argument out of the water. when it comes down to it. if you go and exit polling what is the most important to women? jobs, economy, and security and safety. on both of those, trump comes up on jobs, stronger than hillary. on safety and security, people don't know. >> middle east is a mess, right? >> right. >> but i will say this on the economy, trump is more trusted than hillary. >> that is not surprising to me. i think hillary clinton is inheriting the reputat

calling her an enabler of bill clinton's affairs. will this line of attack work or could it backfire? >>> after the show catch more on the couch from the web. "outnumbered overtime," foxnews.com/outnumbered. click on the "overtime" tab, let us know all the times you disagree with juan williams on the couch today. >> that is always fun. sandra: tell us what topics you want to hear more about hear mo. these guys represent blood cells. if you have afib not caused by a heart valve problem, pradaxa helps stop blood cells from pooling in the heart... forming a clot... which can travel to the brain and cause a stroke. pradaxa was better than warfarin at reducing stroke risk in a study. in the rare event of an emergency, pradaxa has a specific reversal treatment to help you clot normally again. pradaxa is not for people who have had a heart valve replacement. don't stop taking pradaxa without talking to your doctor. stopping increases your risk of stroke or blood clots. ask your doctor if you need to stop pradaxa before any planned medical o

barack does, bill clinton does. so just using that metric alone, you'd have to say he's more of an asset than a liability. you know, doe and clinton have app interesting relationship. of course, bill clinton beat dole in 1996, but after that, as clinton does with a lot of the people he defeats, they developed a kind of close relationship just the way they did with the bush's, and his criticism of clintons in the clip played there was tepid compared to what trump said recently. >> but, marc, i wonder if bill clinton is having the kind of effect given his popularity given his respect, getting people excited about hillary clinton's potential presidency? >> i worry because bill clinton is such a contrast to hillary clinton in terms of personality, engagement, modes of addressing the voting basis, in fact rs what voters see is not excited about hillary clinton, but they realize what they are not getting with hillary clinton. we had this guy, and now we don't. i'm not saying that's fair to hillary clinton, but that could

he's not 1994 bill clinton. he's 2016 bill clinton. >> sexual assault bill clinton? kennedy: are you surprised by her auto sexist asphyxiation? >> i love that by the way. that's great. i don't think any of us should be. most us get warm fuzzies, not me, when we hear the name bill clinton. but he's getting old. the economy like we have been saying is different than it was in the 90s. what about the rise of tech and robots taking jobs. if i'm a worker at a fast food joint and i know a kiosk will take my job, what will bill clinton do for me. kennedy: he may use the robots to turn this party around. hillary clinton made a poor showing against bernie sanders in west virginia. she is hoping to redeem herself tomorrow in the kentucky primary. that's how she talks when she goes to a southern state. can she west the blue grass state away from the jaws of bernie? i don't think she can. >> they are considering voting against her. i think she is playing catchup. she had 11 events in kentucky. she really need to fight for this if she wants it. kennedy: kentucky has vast coal cou

but the dirty bills, lou, it's this odd confluence of bill cosby and bill clinton, the sexual allegations story. lou: and they're going after bill cosby now, finally. >> yes, that's right. a judge is requiring him to stand trial in a 2004 allegation. and that simultaneously, trump has this instagram ad out about bill clinton, and the escapades of the 90s. so you hl see the confluence, one msnbc anchor confused them today. this is going to be -- lou: confused who was bill cosby. >> he said bill clinton has to stand trial, i mean bill cosby has to stand trial. lou: normally i don't care references to that particular network and its talent. >> or lack thereof of a talent. >> that was irresistible. lou: good to have you here. please, tonight, vote in our poll as always. the question is -- the folks at red bull, they keep it coming. let me tell you. watch this video, two speed riders go soaring down, this is spectacular stuff. i love this stuff. soaring down a mountain side in the alps, between skiing and paragliding any terrain, these skilled pilots weaving through buildings, skipping over la

i love that he's bringing up bill clinton's past. it's an entirely -- harris: is he winning you over, meg an -- meghan mccain? meghan: i love it. go after the clintons. take the heat off republicans like me. go after bill and hillary all day long, please. [laughter] harris: do you get behind this candidate? for a long time you said -- meghan: i want to see who he chooses for his running mate, how he goes going forward for the next six months, but i'm being reminded how much i hate bill and hillary clinton. sandra: big change for meghan mccain. harris: donald trump uttering, and apparently a word that you liked, one single word about bill clinton's scandals and causing a big controversy. what he said and the fallout to. we'll hash us out right here on "outnumbered." my mom loves giving me advice. she even gives me advice... ...about my toothpaste and mouthwash. but she's a dentist so...i kind of have to listen. she said "jen, go pro with crest pro-health advanced." advance to healthier gums... ...and stronger teeth from day one. using

that doesn't match bill clinton. you know whose record does match bill clinton's, donald trump. the risk that you point one finger at clinton, and you have four pointing back at you. the clintons have an unusual defense. what sam clovis has said many times before, vetted by a sfesh prosecutor, hearing from the senate and the media for a decade. a lot of stink on donald trump that has not been vetted that way at all. why invite this march down memory lane of his marriages, and allegations of assault there, and of indiscretions and behavior that is arguably immoral if not criminal. why invaite that discussion? >> i think that, again, i respectfully, chris, i think that mr. trump has been vetted for 40 years. he has been a personality in new york for 40 years. he's been part of the tabloids for 40 years. he lives large and is large and all of that. i think the notion of scrutiny has been pretty clear. but what i do think is, you know, what we are really looking at here, you know the inside of politics better than anyone, because of the long heritage and great heritage, but the issu

about bill clinton. there has to be a strategy and a has to reflect on her. it will be up to him to twist that. the most remarkable thing about that story is that donald trump came out and announced five months ahead of the first debate the strategy, which is to throw all this stuff at her. mark: part of it is recklessness or carelessness or trump being trump. but it is also a calling card of i ops. he knows how to deal with these things. i talked with him, most other publicans, and he gets it. he gets them way the media cycle works, what he can do on twitter. he has said accurately, he has just begun. like the heelys story suggests, so he has held off and do later, he is going for it now. this story about him with clinton to say a word about it, it will happen in real time. let's go back and stay with trump. controversies continues to twirl around him. many republicans will be asked between now and november to weigh in on various things he does. the lesson on how his efforts might go came this weekend w

frankly hillary is not bill clinton and bill clinton today is not bill clinton of the 1990s, he really isn't. david: he certainly has slowed down a little bit but very often you see a little spark. for example when he faced off with the "black lives matter" folks, you saw the old bill clinton, right? >> you did. it wasn't economics with "black lives matter" but yes, you're right. you saw a little bit of that. every time he does that hillary turns around and smacks him down. that is not what i want to see happen. david: you think even if hillary was being honest when she said she was going to have him as economic czar, there is question about whether that is true -- >> yes there is. david: he still wouldn't have what he had in the the 0's? one he wouldn't have newt gingrich in congress? two he wouldn't have the commitment to the free market that he seemed to have back then? >> that is very true. i think both of those are very true. the last point i would like to make that is really important here as well, in the race of 1992 and 1996, we had problem republicans. george bush, sr., raised

donald trump's not any of those things. >> reporter: a challenge for trump in attacking bill clinton as anti-women and tagging hillary as an enabler his own past statements of support like in 1998 in the midst of bill clinton agency scandal. >> can you imagine how controversial i'd be. how about me with the women. >> reporter: even ten years later in 2008. >> look at the trouble bill clinton got into with something that was totally unimportant and they tried to impeach him which was nonsense. >> reporter: here's how a long time confidant explained his 180. >> he was a private citizen who was friendly with the clintons and he was trying to protect a friend. now it's a different game. >> reporter: then there are conspiracy theories like the false charge that bill clinton's white house council vince foster was murdered despite multiple investigations ruling it a suicide. trump told "the washington post" foster's death was very fishy but said i will say there are people who continue to bring it up because they think it was absolutely a murder. i don't do that because i don't think it's f

he cast his criticism of bill and hillary clinton, particularly bill clinton's relationships with women over the course of his presidency and before as his measure of backing down hillary clinton when she accuses donald trump of being a sexist or being misogynist. trump argues the rhetoric has been sexist, has denigrated women, has objectified them, has made their personal attraction more important than the quality of their personality and character, and trump says if they're going to come after me with those types of criticism, then it's fair game for donald trump to go after bill clinton's relationship with women and his many scandals during his presidency. things like the rape allegations by juanita broderick. just recently, trump suggested one of the things that has to be brought up is a discussion of vince foster. hillary clinton's law partner at one point who committed suicide during the early stages of clinton's candidacy. so trump isn't backing down from criticism. he has a rally in new mexico tonight. this is a state where there is almost a majority, 48% of the state is hispani

bill clinton is a political liability. bill clinton is no longer the guy with the amazing political instincts. bill clinton is now the guy where the day after he says something or hours after he says something the campaign has to clarify what he meant. that's who bill clinton is now, he's been showing that steadily over the last bunch of years and the democrats need to get it out of their head that this is bill clinton from the '90s because he ain't that guy anymore. >> with that would you expect bernie sanders to do better? i mean, he just won oregon. >> a huge surprise. >> basically tied kentucky. how much more can he do? >> oh, gosh, i don't know. and his supporters are being really -- getting frustrated, as they should be. i mean, hopefully it's not taking on this violent tone that people are now nervous about, but bernie is saying what trump has been saying. i feel like maybe i'm not being treated fairly and he might not be. >> speaking of unfairly, melania trump making it known that the clintons didn't give the trump

about bill clinton. there has to be a strategy and a has to reflect on her. it will be up to him to twist that. the most remarkable thing about that story is that donald trump came out and announced five months ahead of the first debate the strategy, which is to throw all this stuff at her. mark: part of it is recklessness or carelessness or trump being trump. but it is also a calling card of psy-ops. he knows how to deal with these things. i talked with him, most other publicans, and he gets it. he gets them way the media cycle works, what he can do on twitter. he has said accurately, he has just begun. like the heelys story suggests, so he has held off and do later, he is going for it now. this story about him with clinton to say a word about it, it will happen in real time. let's go back and stay with trump. controversies continues to twirl around him. many republicans will be asked between now and november to weigh in on various things he does. the lesson on how his efforts might go came this weekend

bill clinton does. hillary clinton has a history of dragging their names through the mud. look, anderson, 15.8% of sexual assault victims report the crime. just that small number because they're afraid of being demonized, not believed. juanita broad rick, paula jones, were not believed, they were demonized by her. as a woman, i am offended that hillary clinton didn't believe them, didn't come to their rescue. she demonized them, and has the audacity as tom foreman mentioned to send a tweet saying all victims of sexual assault deserve to be believed, unless they're the victims of bill clinton. it is complete hypocrisy. as a young woman, i am afended. women across the country that become aware of it won't vote for her based on this. >> mary catherine, what do you think? >> there are fair points about sexual assault victims and accusations of this kind. also points to be made about tendency of the left to give democratic men a pass if they vote a certain way on bad sexual behavior and accusations of this kind. is donald trump the correct person to make the points or it is eff

will not be engaging on the attacks on bill clinton's past and accusations against bill clinton and his past. to this moment, they haven't. can they -- do you think they can sustain that? >> i don't think there's any question they plan to sustain it. there's no real reason for them -- their calculation is this, getting into the mud on these specific issues will bring nothing but dirt onto their campaign. they want to stay away from this as much as possible, and they actually believe there's some benefit to it. people will be so turned off by these lines -- >> it will backfire. >> and historically that has been the case. hillary clinton's approval ratings in the 'niments we90s wt up when they were attacked. if you talk to republican pollsters particularly who look at women on this issue specifically, they have said this is not something that benefits the republican party or its candidate if the attacks are made. the question is donald trump is not the traditional republican candidate and does that mean his campaign is very different because this has been a very different cycle? >> ca

he defended bill clinton for years. he said the same allegations that you guys are talking about now, were a waste of time, were wrong, were hallow, that bill clinton was a terrific guy. that he was a great president. that the impeachment was wrong, that it was a baes waste of tim >> and hillary clinton said donald trump was one of the smartest businessmen in the united states. now she is is tacking him on these ads. >> so she is bad, too. isn't he bad for going after him? >> all he is doing is giving the facts. >> no, no, no. he knew the facts then in the '90s when this was happening. >> he was a private citizen who was friendly with the clintons, and he was trying to protect a friend, all right. now, it's a different game. it's 2016, he is the presidential -- >> michael. >> if you decide to run for office and people say you knew cuomo, you used to say -- now i'm running against him, he is a bum, that makes it okay. >> absolutely. >> come on. michael, please. >> if i was telling the truth -- >> so he was lying, then? >

i am waiting on the former president bill clinton movie. listen, nanna, angela, jane angela's husband roy is here. i saw a report no. 1 cause of death among teenagers is suicide. if that doesn't reflect on parenting or lack thereof, what else does? what is your interpretation? thanks for having me on the show. when anyone decides to take their life, when you talk about the family, i break that down into two components, one is the physical side, other is spiritual side. you have to have both of the pieces to make the family whole. in the right schools, going to the right places, right person, if you don't have the spiritual component when the times are tough where you have more mouth than money. you have challenges at school or challenges in the home. if you don't have the spiritual component, then you have the world. it is a lack of spirituality, not so much parenting. >>> >> armstrong: you hear about the violence in the dmv, knifing people for no reason, is that parenting? >> i think what happens, you have a parallel universe. you have kid
