i'm bill clinton was a leader. gingrich couldn't walk and determined by the time he left his shaking his head, he had the ability to bring people together. at the end of the day, because we did it right, we got 75% of the members of congress both the house and senate democrats and republicans all voted yes. it's very different than what we have today. we had it because we had a leader who can bring people together. >> another question. >> i'm just gonna ask a question about balancing the budget. >> from smalley, they grew up in southern minnesota. 1995, two years after -- the president, predicted that 200 billion deficit, so the figure was a little bit different so for the 200 billion could you talk about that a little bit? >> we election look like it be like a hundred billion. those huge. i remember when president carter set up a budget and 79 that and 40 billion-dollar deficit. democrats were in control of the congress and they sent it back to him. and said you have to do better. it went from 42 rising in the mid

bill clinton will practice that. he will practice that with the instrument that the united states had led to create an international community. vision, and that vision working with the multilateral institutions, and that diplomacy was extremely important. and working with the neighbors. to get in some actual examples of getting in that vision. maybe we can start with the end of the cold war. one of the interesting things is, by the end of the cold war, it did create the possibility of a bipartisan moment in u.s. foreign-policy. i wonder if you can give us some sense of how clinton reacted to that. how he fostered bipartisanship. and he fought to the strategy of american engagement to ensure an effective russian integration into the international system. he moved with a bipartisan approach to that and work with our allies. >> he was quite convinced early on that it was important to expand and deepen international institutions as her nest of just said. and there was controversy over if nato had done its thing. go in hi

bill clinton testified on video, it was embarrassing. he had to admit that he lied to the american people and officers of the court and he was impeached. again, back to the other witnesses including all the young people in the white house counsel's office, bill clinton was impeached. he gave up his law license. one of the water cooler conversations is if you get called to the special counsel's office, remember that. you know most of the deputies in the white house counsel have been interviewed. you know the senior staff has been interviewed. you know he has all this information. >> so the level of detail you are saying. >> the witnesses coming out saying essentially bob mueller knows what they had for breakfast. if you legitimately say i don't recall, they fill it in for you. and then continue the conversation. if you are the president and prone to not being a detail person, i get the lawyers saying it is dangerous situation. if you are president trump and you think i only care about my 35%, then there is no political price. if the goal

bill clinton came into office. that because the cold war was over, because the great schism was passing into history, we fought. he wanted to use his presidency to make the united states a leader in a collaborative world. make the united states a leader and instant national -- in international institutions. and i remember once when he was trying to formulate a doctrine. i think matalin was in the room at the time -- madeleine was in the room at the time. it was clear that was the clinton doctrine to have a collaborative world. if you read the books he has written, he is particularly proud of that. i know what the president of the united states advice would be. >> don't ask that question to a bad ombre -- hombre. [laughter] [applause] being here at georgetown, and an event of president clinton. some of my students were demanding that we want a safe space. i think i would say, the president of the united states, economics and security. but somebody has to do so so the other wins. that would have the be great. i think

a clear majority were with bill clinton and not with his adversaries. that was a forerunner to how politics was conducted in the day. facts matter less than which side of you are on. >> with the advantage of being able to look back on history, say what you will about bill clinton or donald trump, there is a base line difference between the two men in terms of how they approached the presidency. >> bill clinton wanted i think very much yearned for a kind of traditional successful presidency. he cared what the "new york times" thought about him. didn't like it when he was criticized there. i think donald trump is authentically contempuous of establishment institution including establishment media and could care less about presidential precedence. they are different men that way. i would say they are both really skilled at using media to save themselves in a jam. >> john, i think back on that era and we are talking about the mid 90s as the time when the two parties really came apart. when congress started to come apart, we had our first government shut dow

if you look at bill clinton's 1992 and 1996 it's crazy. south voter, north voter, louisiana, and since gore-bush it's been a 50/50 country. i don't know, i mean it might be as simple as just taking back michigan, wisconsin, pennsylvania. restoring the so-called blue wall. who does that? do they have to be a populist? i don't know that donald trump can out -- be out donald trumped. and the democratic primary, i think, is going to be very similar to that mid term in that in 2007 presidential primaries there was zero tolerance for anyone who supported iraq in any way. if you voted years after we provide funding for the troops, there was zero tolerance for that. i understand that. if you apply the same sort of litmus test, are replace iraq 2019, and trump, in t's whose the most angry democrat, i don't know that is going to translate well in 2020. you might have a populist democrat who is really liberal. so i was stalling to say i on't know. >> my name is rachel craig a graduate student at suffolk niversity in boston. so a large amount of mille

the majority saidit that way wi -- put it that way with bill clinton, not with bill clinton's adversaries. now facts matter less than which side you are on. >> say what you will about bill clinton and donald trump, there is a base line difference in how they approached the presidency. >> bill clinton wanted, i think very much yearned for a kind of traditional, successful presidency. he cared what "the new york times" thought about him. didn't like it when he was criticized there. i think donald trump is authentically contemptful of the media. >> we're talking about the mid 90s as the time when the two parties really started to come apart. when congress started to come apart, we had our first government shutdown of the modern media era. think of the rise of fox news, the birth of the network we're on now and just kept going. >> that's right. although there's this explosion of media, the power of particularly established journalists or so-called mainstream media was rapidly eroding. it's literally millions of people through the power of social media. so there's not really a referee. one con

we -- it says bill, we don't know if he called bill clinton. i called bill, and relayed what he discussed, he agreed. it just sounds more like they are going easyo hillary. you mentioned that bill clinton the and loretta lynch tarmac meeting, if it was only about grangrandchildren, why that was meeting so heavily redacted? >> you are right. we're getting tidbits of information, this does not look good, it does not look good, she is saying, she could be our next president and speculating that she is worried about her own position in the fbi, that is what it sounds like. but you are right to point out we don't know what that means, if h he is talking about bill clinton or someone else names bill, this is sad we're getting scraps of information. liz: human beings with opinions but they have power at fbi, we don't know if there was a conspiracy, but they were talking openly about their thought, bree peyton thank you. >> thank you. liz: president trump went after peter strzok at fbi for the bias text. media saying that trump is criticizing the whole

it is the bill clinton playbook, which is muddy the waters. overwhelm. bill clinton showed as a political matter, that lying was an effective public defense for him. it bought him time. and then, you know, when he then perceived he was in legal jeopardy, he changed his testimony when he went to the grand jury. he lied in the paula jones deposition. this was vividly recalled by all of us 20 years ago exactly last week. there's no way that donald trump and his team have not looked at that playbook and understood very clearly what the jeopardy is. >> i would submit to you, though, that bill clinton and donald trump are completely different in terms of going into a deposition. who would you rather take in as a client, bill clinton or a pathological liar? >> we had every parallel in this case to the clinton case except we haven't had trump get up there and say i didn't have treasonous relationships with that country. >> actually, he did say that. the russians, i have no this in russia, no that in russia, oh, by the way, can you find the e-mails? >> the other

bill clinton it was failure of healthcare and thebudget deal. with barack obama it was obamacare, with george bush it was iraq. i don't know, and this is the question you're asking in the whether just sheer hatred in the democratic party for this man is the equivalent of republicans getting worked up about obamacare or bill clinton or democrats in iraq. i think it is. but on the flipside you have people saying, including the speaker of the house, nancy pelosi, that's not our message. stop saying impeach. you literally have people like tom stier who is very wealthy . i don't know his background exactly, but he is very wealthy and he was a big, he was involved in politics for environmental policy. himselfas taken it upon for this group, need to impeach, and is focused on it. i, for one, i agree with that. i think the man has met the threshold and that's all that's important. i don't know. i think if it were held tomorrow it would be a bloodbath. the biggest indicator to me of that which i have noticed, is how many republicans are not running. not

if you look at bill clinton's 9296 states, it's crazy. he's winning south dakota, north dakota, louisiana and since core bush it has been a 5050 country. i don't know, it might be as simple as taking back michigan, wisconsin, pennsylvania, restoring the so-called blue wall. now who does that? do they have to be populace? i don't know that donald trump can out donald trump in the democratic primary is going to be very similar to 2006 midterm in that there is zero, and the 2007 presidential primaries, there is zero tolerance for anyone who supported iraq in any way. if you voted years after we went to iraq to provide funding for the troops, it was zero-tolerance. i understand that. if you apply that same sort of witness test, if you replace iraq with donald trump in 2019 and it's who's the angriest democrat, i don't know that that's going to translate wellin 2023 might have a populist democrat who's really liberal. i was stalling to say i don't know. >> my name is rachel craig, i'm a graduate student at sussex university in boston and so be

joining me, brad blakeman and doug schoen, former advisor to bill clinton. brad, let's give him a grade a through f and tell us why. >> a strong "a." he'spo new to politics. he took the toughest job in the world. we have a new supreme court justice. growth in our economy, full employment at 4%, a new embassy being established in jerusalem. built, americans being put back to work. close to 2 million americans are added to the rolls. butli the president hit the grod running.he 73 judges confirmed, a record in the federal court system. the president has a lot to be proud of. rick: doug, i'm guessing you are going to give him a slightly different grade. >> the undeniable fact is the economy has been very good. and it's the case that the president has asserted american power around the world. the problem from my point of view is i seek bipartisanship. we are looking at the government shutdown and i'm sad we weren't able to get an agreement on healthcare. and the president unfortunately has been a little bit more divisive and polarizing in his rhetoric and tweets

bill clinton was impeached for lying about his affair. do you think there is a different standard with this president? i don't have a lot of time left. >> suppose this happened with barack obama. it would be a huge scandal and he probably would have been forced to resign. >> media would have been all over it. >> i don't think melania would leave him over this, i don't think she would care. his supporters are, number one, if it's ever been shown that he was behind an abortion of someone that he'd had sex with or, two, that if he were gay or a cross-dresser. i think that other than that, he's golden. >> thank you. that is like -- what is it? a live boy or dead girl? thank you very much. interesting. >>> when we come back, the president's doctor telling the country this about his health. >> his overall health is excellent. he has very, very good health. he is in the excellent range from a cardiac standpoint. >> but it turns out president trump's tests show he has heart disease, so why didn't his doctor say that during his briefing? and had t

the government set up a committee chaired by bill clinton. bill's committee act a mobile provider to transfer money to haiti via cell phones. they brought in more than $50 million of revenue in haiti. it was run by dennis o'brien who set up a number of paid speeches for bill clinton and also donated millions of his own money to the clinton foundation. another benefit of giving to the clintons was special ak a says to meetings with hillary while she was secretary of state. more than half of the people outside the government who met with hillary during the first half of her tenure gave money to the clinton foundation. the total donation amount, over $150 million. even chelsea clinton warned her serious concerns over conflicts of interest with the foundation, especially in connection with a secret lobbying firm set up by hillary clinton's former fundraiser. many of the clients were also clinton foundation donors. e-mails exposed by wikileaks showed chelsea raising red flags because the officials were using bill clinton's names to set up meetings

clinton did and a lot of good that did or try and bribe radical mullahs that throw gays and lesbians off roofs as a matter of law and to be his women as a matter of law. i like standing up to dictators. the media can't seem to handle that. >> no, they can't. that is what i love, and so many ways, about the trigger format. you either have moral clarity or you don't. thee fact that president trump can say so much and 140 or 280 characters, and some i put all the moral cripples in the news media can't, i think it is a

if you look at bill clinton's 1992 and 1996 states, it is crazy. he's winning south dakota, north decoder, louisiana. since george bush, it has been a 50/50 country. i don't know, it might be as simple as taking back michigan, wisconsin, pennsylvania, restoring the so-called blue wall. now who does that? do they have to be a populist? i don't know that donald trump can be out-donald trumped. and the democratic primary, it is going to be very similar 2006 midterms in that there is zero, and the 2007 presidential primaries, there is zero tolerance for anyone who supported iraq in any way. if you voted years after we went to iraq to provide funding for the troops, it was zero-tolerance. and i understand that. if you apply that same sort of litmus test, if you replace iraq with donald trump in 2019 and it's who's the angriest democrat, i don't know that that is going to translate well in 2020. you might have a populist democrat who is really liberal. so i was stalling to say, i don't know. [laughter] >> my name is rachel craig, i'm a graduate student a

in fairness to bill clinton's chiefs, i don't think is possible to really police bill clinton in that way. it was very difficult, that scandal. they tried to get clinton through that time. i know it was painful for bowls. it was painful for the white house staff. they felt betrayed by clinton. host: mike is calling from missouri on the republican line. caller: good morning. i am surprised the staff isn't wearing heavy sunshade so they're not minded by your brilliance. my question to you is, you are typical of many of the lemmings i see on c-span. all you do is criticize. if you had come up with something that would be helpful while you apply to be chief of staff? with your political savvy i'm sure you would really help. why don't you run for political office? guest: let me respond. let me go way out on a limb here and just suggest that you probably haven't read the book. you would realize that i don't have all the answers and i don't pretend to. i will try to be very evenhanded between democrats and republicans. i have decided democrat and republican as two people i think were the out

that worked in the case of bill clinton. he got impeached but he did not get convicted or removed from office and obviously that's part of what you are seeing going on at the white house, they are doing everything they can to undercut the credibility of the mueller investigation so if they come up with any conclusions that are hostile to this president they can say we told you so. >> harris: if you are talking about the precedent and historical past for any of that you would say okay, it's par for the course. but it gets more complicated when the fbi situation makes it easier to criticize them with such anti-trump by text messages, what do you say about that? >> there certainly is plenty of stuff to criticize in this investigation, there was plenty of stuff bill clinton and his white house found to criticize about ken starr, they said he was a prosecutor, a special counsel run amok. i have mixed feelings on this question of this investigation. on the one hand, all this criticism of james comey and that he was so pro-clinton

he's in our corner -- >> talking about bill clinton? >> bill clinton. women's groups felt that way about bill clinton. they didn't challenge him on the lewinsky stuff, now there's remorse on that. evangelicals are saying he's in our corner on a lot of issues, so we're not going to challenge him on this kind of stuff. so they're going to have some problems with that with their membership, because at what cost? at what cost? >> jim sciutto, how do you see it? >> listen, i don't know what reality we're living in, that it's such a small story relative to all the stuff that's going on. listen, it's -- for a portion of his base, it's never going to be an issue no matter what he does. the president has said as much. but even beyond the base, it may just be the reality is, with trump, the standard is lower for this kind of personal character stuff in the public eye. and even the folks who don't like trump so much may not be so surprised by it. and it's not what they're focusing on. >> i would just add to that, with the base, also there's a part of the base that

of course, they'd want to prevent what happened with bill clinton. they're looking at situations of past presidents and how it's happened. they want to look at a situation where he's subpoenaed and go to court, or a grand jury, in that case you can't have a liar with you. ultimately they'll have to work something out with robert mueller's team, and if they don't that could be problematic. >> the president's attorney issued a statement. >> ty cobb said for the record the white house does not comment on communications with the white house out of respect for the osc and its process. in order to facilitate the earliest possible resolution. ty cobb has been very outspoken, too, saying they look forward to wrapping up this soon. >> pamela brown, thanks very much for that report. and now to the president himself. he's on the road right now. he's very much on the defensive about his mental fitness. let's go to our senior white house correspondent jim acosta. the president went to extremes in claiming he has the brain power to be president. >> he absolutely d

well, past democratic presidents like bill clinton and even a standard-free barack obama caught to use church parlor -- a member of president trump's evangelical advisory and "washington post" reporter eugene scott. let me go to you first, reverend burns. you and i debated on "morning joe" and others. we disagree politically, though we respect each other. how can evangelical ministers condemn some behavior of a bill clinton or others and just keep on giving a pass, not even discussing the behavior of president trump? how do you have it both ways? >> well, reverend, again, you're right, we disagree politically, but surely being on your show as a forerunner for our people and our nation. but let me just say this. and you and i abound, grace abounds. >> where was the grace when clinton was being impeached? it seems like grace abounds starting with trump, according to some. >> that's not true. that's not true because obviously president nixon was also -- president nixon was also forced to resign. and it was by members of his own party. so i don't think it has to do anything like -- >> it w

and she said she also emailed bilbo bill doesn't have an account. >> bill clinton doesn't personally email but his tapas email. >> oh, she said bill. >> she must know that her own husband doesn't send emails. >> sean: she was asked, did you wipe the server clean with a cloth? >> it's not a funny joke, she's not a funny woman, doesn't mean she's a criminal. >> sean: laws were broken. the boomerang begins. when we come back, they hate to "hannity" hotlines and stephen colbert made me laugh. i will tell you why. straight ahead. you won't see these folks at the post office. they have businesses to run. they have passions to pursue. how do they avoid trips to the post office? stamps.com mail letters, ship packages, all the services of the post office right on your computer. get a 4 week trial, plus $100 in extras including postage and a digital scale. go to stamps.com/tv and never go to the post office again. >> sean: time for the picture of the day. i have to warn you, i don't usually find this professional trump hating obama sycophant funny. but stephen colbert actually made me laugh. h

el mÁs largo se lo lleva bill clinton. las palabras de trump en otra las redes sociales y provocaron mÁs de 4.000.000 y medio de twitter y tambiÉn de reacciones. javier: cuÁntas personas de repente pudieron haber visto esa transmisiÓn, porque se transmitiÓ ademÁs a travÉs de las redes sociales. la investidura del presidente trump la vieron 31.000.000 de personas hace mÁs de 1 aÑo y se estima, aparentemente, quepodrÍan haber sido 26.000.000 de personas que dieron esta importante mensaje. carolina: trombo ta mandÓ un tweet diciendo a la gente que lo viera a travÉs de la pÁgina de la casa blanca que tambiÉn estaba transmitiendo. es el evento polÍtico mÁs visto del aÑo. javier: janel rodrÍguez tiene reacciones del congreso ante las palabras del presidente trump. janet: buenas tardes, el lema del discurso de anoche era "un nuevo momento americano". buscaba reunificar a la naciÓn y el congreso de los estados unidos. hoy amanecemos con un congreso tan dividido como antes del discurso. las extremas de ambas barc

you've told "the new york times" that bill clinton should have resigned over the lewinsky affair. >> my point is that the tolerance that we had 25 years ago, what was allowed 25 years ago will not be tolerated today, is not allowed today and that we have to have the kind of oversight and accountability that society needs so that we can protect people in the workplace, so people can function without having an unsafe work environment, whether it's in the military or -- >> so you're saying president trump has created an unsafe workplace in the white house? >> no. i'm saying that the conversation we're having is very important and the behaviors tolerated a long time ago are not tolerated and, in fact, all of us need to recognize none of us are above this and all of us have to be responsible for how we create a workplace in our own office, for my office, how we do our oversight in congress with providing better oversight over the military, which is our job, with title 9 on college campuses. so we have to do our job. we are all responsible and we all have to understand that time has change

when you look at what the -- bill clinton did. you've seen the famous clip where bill clinton wants to give them everything. and what i said years ago with meet the press many years ago, i talked -- i do not think anything has changed -- you have to have a certain attitude and be prepared to do certain things, and i'm totally prepared to do that. president moon called me and we had a great discussion a couple of days ago, and he thanked me very much. and i hope it works out. i very much want to see it work out between the two countries. i would like to see them getting involved in the olympics and maybe things go from there, so i am behind that 100%. he actually thanked me, he said -- and a lot of people have written and said -- without my rhetoric and without my tough stance, and not just the stance, this is what -- not just the stance, this is what has to be done, that they would not be talking about olympics, they would not be talking right now. reporter: are they not also taking this conversation beyond the olympics? president

in fairness to bill clinton's chiefs, i do not think it was possible to police bill clinton in that way. was veryw it difficult. .hat scandal someone had to get him through that time and i know it was painful for bowls and the entire white house staff. i think they felt betrayed. host: just under 10 minutes left. mike is coming from beaufort, missouri. republican line. caller: good morning. mr. whipple, i am surprised the staff is not wearing heavy sunshades so they are not blinded by your brilliance. -- you are to you typical of the lemmings that i see on c-span. all you do is criticize, criticize, criticized. if you had come up with something helpful, my suggestion would be why don't you apply to be a chief of staff for donald trump? with your political savvy, i'm sure you would help with him. run for political office. i think your political brilliance is stunning. guest: let me respond. let me go way out on a limb in just that you probably have not read the book. if you had, you would realize that i do not have all of the answers and i don't pretend to. i tried to be evenhanded betwe

i know bill clinton well. it was nice to hear that the president of the united states acknowledge we are a nation of immigrants. >> tucker: that is it right. but he said maybe because we are, these are the words, be disturbed by the number of illegal aliens coming in this country and taking the american job and burdening our american safety net. what is untrue on that? >> i didn't research 1986. but the number of foreign born people in the united states is about what it was in 1925 when my grandparents, both of my grandfathers were fighting in the first world war and sons of immigrant people, so tucker, i think that the trick tonight that donald trump is trying to pull off. he needs to shift. when he comes in here, no president since richard nixon walked in a state of the union with a criminal cloud hanging over him as donald trump has. he will shift it to democrats. >> tucker: let me just say, your grandfathers fought the first world war in 1925. they were the only ones. and a dozen or so members of congress

when you look at what the bill clinton did, and you see the famous slip where bill clinton wants to give him everything, and what i said years ago with meet the press many years ago, i talked -- i do not think anything has changed -- you have to have a certain attitude and be prepared to do certain things, and i'm totally prepared to do that. president moon called me and we had a great discussion a couple of days ago, and he thanked me very much. i hope it works out. i very much want to see it work ed out between the two countries. i would like to see them getting involved in the olympics and maybe things go from there, so i am behind that 100%. he said -- and a lot of people have written and said -- without my rhetoric and have stands, and stance, this is what -- not just the stance, this is what has to be done, that they would not be talking about olympics, they would not be talking at all. it >> are they not also taking this conversation beyond the olympics? president trump: i hope they do. i would love to see them take it beyond the ethics. that's beyond the olympics -- take it beyon

he will be the first president since bill clinton to attend, bill clinton attended in 2000. last year the president did not go. it's a gathering of global elites and they revel in things like bureaucrats running the world via a integrated regulatory system and all thins that do not jive with trump's agenda. the president's trip is likely less about trump joining the establishment elite and potentially about telling it off this as the head of the forum told the wall street journal that president trump's leadership is worrisome because trump has upended norms of international relations. let's bring in the executive of the weekly standard fred barns to break it all down. fred, upending the norms of international relations . what's your take on the president going to davos? >> i think it's a smart thing to do and he will do better than his critics at home expect they like him to show the worst of his behavior and i don't think he will. he's got a lot to talk about. i think he will talk about his tax cut and other things. he may lecture some but i think it's going to be this newe

or maybe trump should suck up and grovel to kim jong un just like bill clinton sucked up and groveled to kim jong il, his father. donald trump could go on tv like clinton did and tell you the american people a massive lie like this. >> this is a good deal for the united states. north korea will freeze and then dismantle its nuclear program. south korea and our other allies will be better protected. the entire world will be safer as we slow the spread of nuclear weapons. south korea, with support of other nations, will bear most of the cost with providing north korea with fuel to make up for the nuclear energy it is losing. and they will pay for an alternative power system for north korea that will allow them to produce electricity while making it much harder for them to produce nuclear weapons. the united states andns international inspectors will carefully monitor north korea to make sure it keeps its commitments. only as it does so will north korea fully join theme community of nations.s >> sean: could bill clinton have been more wrong?to or how about this one. maybe the media -- ma

bill clinton made the party a bigger tent. and into that big democratic tent went the elites of america. its lawyers and doctors and stockbrokers. but let's remember, clinton essentially tied his republican opponents in the white working-class demographic in both 1992 and 1996. so why did the white working class vote for bill and not for hillary? >> what they've become over the last couple of decades is the party of the professional class, highly educated affluent while collar people. >> david brooks says hillary clinton fits into this category perfectly. >> went to a fancy school, married a guy from a fancy law school. lives in the sorts of places where those people would gather. >> if it sounds like he simply describing rich people here, brooks says there's a very important distinction between rich entrepreneurs, people who create companies and make things and employ people and professionals. >> people in the working class or people who voted for trump don't mind billionaires, but they mind our bossy professionals. teachers,

clinton vetoed the bill and shut down the government. the message that we sent to bill clinton was we were crazy enough to walk off the cliff and you better deal with us in a legitimate way, and he did. he came back after 21 days, yes, dole caved in, but at the same time we gave clinton a few little things to save face and he signed the bill. but the point was, for the next six years, bill clinton didn't get to sign one major bill that he initiated and put the house, particularly the house and control of the agenda. >> i did work out well with the one that was over the budget where the republicans fell that it was way over budget, he did come back and get a balanced budget, i believe that would balance this bill for seven years. do you see any wiggle room in the meeting of the minds between democrats and republicans in the president and if so, where. the dems say they would like to see some anti- aca. we can see that? >> i think if schumer is drawing a line in the sand and he's gonna prove he can shut down the government, believe me, the

>> i send a lot of emails personally. >> sean: bill doesn't have an account. >> bill clinton doesn't personally email but his staff. >> sean: she says bill. >> she must know her own husband doesn't send emails. >> sean: she was asked did you wipe the server clean like with a cloth? >> it's not a funny joke. she is not a funny woman. it doesn't mean she is a criminal. >> sean: laws were broken. >> it absolutely does laws were broken and she is not funny. >> sean: hate hannity hotline and stephen colbert made me laugh. i will tell you wife straigh' ahead. stive issues. take phillips' colon health probiotic caps daily with three types of good bacteria. 400 likes? wow! try phillips' colon health. ♪ (woman) and my brother ray and i started startsearching for answers.ords.

we were talking about when bill clinton was in a difficult period of time when bill clinton was in the whitewater investigation. we thought how co-go through with it? congress is there. i've been part of it. we are props. we is it down and we stand up and cheer. he will talk about the economy and jobs. >> baltimore the night they put the wrong -- was that the night they put the wrong speech in? it was incredible. >> it's a long story. a certain unnamed morning anchor are was part of that, too. did he just adlib it? >> over nine minutes. he adlibed it. it was on health care. a few people knew, vice president gore knew, he was that able. it is a blessing to have a guy like that who could carry the burden of having an idiot staffer like me mess it up. >> you could tell there was something going on. we had seen president clinton. he was a great speaker. as he great speaker. but you could tell he was a little bit off. they said do you think he has some kind of a medicated drug issue or something? but did he a good job. >> as we talk about president trump, he gets the big moments. as we saw
