i get bill clinton to lie about it. but they were only grasping at straws they didn't have anything solid. then goldberg calls one of them and says hey i met this woman and she has been talking to monica lewinsky and guess what. and that is how these things came together. and that's how it happened. it's the most -- so another improbable thing, monica linsky gets transferred out of the white house after her association with the president ends. she gets transferred to the pentagon where linda trip happen to been transferred to after she left the white house. she was better kaisha got thrown out of the white house and she was angry at the clintons and didn't like them in the first place. but it's just a coincidence that they ended up in the same place. if monica lewinsky had been transferred to the federal aviation that never would've happened. so, i don't want to tell him not to much because we should talk about other aspects of his presidency and his legacy. wanted to talk about it to short up setup the short read that

so they founded the council in 1984, 85 and had seen bill clinton gave a speech. he said there is this guy. he said it to him and recounted it and said i want you to become the leadership council will travel and meet a lot of people and you will give a lot of speeches and run for president and when and we will both be important people. he said that sounds good to me and that's what happened. he had a lot of talent of course but to return to the decisions, the democratic party did have a sorry reputation with respect to issues like crime. this was 25 years ago new york city was topping 22 homicides a year and it's back down to around 400. welfare was an issue and you all know of a story you don't need me to tell you this. there is a reason to take the positions he did and it's worth remembering that whether you agree or disagree it is worth remembering that he did take those positions and when and he did probably save the democratic party. they probably would have lost again. they don't have any appreciati appreciation. it was necessary to become a majority party a

the presidency, he warned bill clinton about signing nafta and we've seen the bad effects of nafta. since then i've been intrigued at prospect of having a businessman as a president and people of business versus politicians in the cabinet. and that is exactly what donald trump has done and i think before people go criticizing all these billionaires you know, if you an employer you want to hire people most knowledgeable about the system you are dealing with and i feel like if these men and women he's putting in the cabinet can do for the country what they did for themselves, i think that is a good thing and we should give it a chance, number one. the second subject i'd like to comment on is how none of the democratic leaders and i've called them here in the state of new jersey and i've requested it over and over again, to get up and denounce the violence against trump supporters. there are men and women in the hospital with no arms and legs that fought for this country, the most important thing is the vote, the inauguration, sacred things in america. people have died, people have bur

investigation between -- into bill clinton's wife and her dealings. in this case you have, from what i've seen, you've had an fbi official telling the white house chief of staff, by the way, what you just read yesterday is complete b.s. and the white house appropriately saying, well, we need help in this. and in your role, what can i say, what can you say? >> pull back for a second. john conyers, the house judiciary committee ranking member is out with a statement. given the conversation we jt had, he's saying there should be th inspector general, department of justice, making sure whistle blowers should be protected from retaliation. should congress look into this conversation? should be there an investigation here? speechless, both of you. >> because -- >> there's not a there there yet. and if there is, then we'll have the investigation. if it's just about a "new york times" story, i mean, the bill clinton situation was different. it was an ongoing -- we all knew ongoing investigation. and that is just an inappropriate contact period. >> nobody's al

you just experienced an average day in the life of bill clinton. and it's true, when you think about entering a press conference, i mean, it almost gives me enough, it almost -- >> watch it. >> it's almost enough to make me sympathetic with donald trump but i can't be spewing i knew that's where you're going. >> but it's been -- then a very interesting thing happened. in the weeks after that i started getting phone calls from politicians. it has absolutely no ideological consistency. some good friends like paul wellstone, dear kaunda wonderful --,, wonderful guy. john mccain on the right community, people from across the spectrum, you know, said to me we know what it feels like to be in the position you are in now. there were people who are trying to drive me out of the business, "newsweek" laid me off for a week, and then kay graham, bless her heart, called the up and she said how are you feeling? i said i'm pissed off, i want to write a column about welfare reform. she said you're in the magazine this week, i'm going to tell them that. all the po

liz: bill clinton, sounds like trump, what do you think? >> you know, it is amazing what a flu years and history can do, we have seen immigration is an important, issue, and both sides have struggled with how to do it the key issues are ensuring our borders are secure. liz: al, what has changed since 90s. >> what is lost in this, president obama actually deported more americans than any prior administration. liz: nobody is covering that, why are democrats on left wing freaking out that donald trump is doing the same thing that president obama, and bill clinton have talked about, and 25 democrats in 2006 were talking about, what change snd. >> i woulchanged? >> i would say, electoral politics, a lot of democrats looking to get the vote of the latino. liz: do you agree, getting more latino votes? >> i do think it is trying to ensure that democrats maintain political power, not what is important for the country. liz: moving on, is this fun? i think that -- i think that patrice, i think al is winning. for those who abandoned hope, we'll restore

bill clinton said last year during the elections craziest thing you ever seen. 8 out of 10 americans wanted replace or dramatically tang chang. if hillary had gotten elected and chuck schumer was the mantle leader we would be revisiting obamacare and status quo is not accept ble. you ask what is next and it's very implicated. you remember nancy pelosi, i'm not sure if you fully recognize what she was saying when obamacare passed. >> right. >> we need to find out what is in it. >> have to read it. >> inartful way of saying it was a massive punt to the secretary of human and health services which they used very effectively for implementation. we now have secretary of health and human services who has the same kind of latitude to try to settle the markets and get to us a better place. in conjunction with tom price, the new secretary of health and human services, and what we can do laelvegislatively we think wn do better and owe it to the american people to try to do that. >> will you able to keep the parts that are important? i know a lot of republicans in my old district and people fro

and bill clinton said do a bunch of bond traders control the economy? they do. >> it's ruben the old treasury secretary. >> if trump does everything, yields are going to spike and hurt the economy. >> i don't know that the viewers care about bond traders. >> what about interest rates when they can't borrow? >> we have to decide who are the drivers of this country, and the economy. it is not these people in d.c., it is the everyday worker, it is the businesses out there that work their tail off. it's about time-- who doe manned their entitlements. >> and entitlements are government programs and we have to-- we have to change the trajectory somehow, some way, we've got to start. >> let me bring ben back in, ben, there's talk about knew creative ways, we have prime minister from japan who says, listen, i'll invest in this infrastructure project and help america create 700,000 jobs. you've got talk of public-private partnerships. we understand the economic challenges here. i think that the american economy has been in such a rut it needs a jolt. i cannot be

bill clinton, and the fourth way its hamilton's way and the trump way. what is the federal government ought ought to be doing. >> host: you head a big, strong federal government. >> guest: in the areas which it powers are enumerate. a big navy. 350 ships, not 282. and a big air force, 1400 fighters not right now. and a big army and huge marine corps because they kick in door. states can't do that. a big fence. i want a big fence. i've been arguing for that for tense years in a book called "painting the map red." if you don't build a big fence we'll never reform immigration and president trump is billing a big fence. >> host: you have more specifics but we'll get into the knew appearanced edges but the republicans now enjoy a majority, wield tremendous power. so the last time democrats had the white house, the senate and the house, i would say that they didn't do much with it. didn't touch immigration no tax reform no entitlement reform, didn't touch guns or climate change really. what should the g.o.p. do to avoid just sort of sitting on their power and

[applause] donna: i thought over the years with hillary clinton when she started the children's defense fund. yes, i marched and registered new voters for bernie sanders until my first obligation of the party chair. it was to make sure i went into conduct of the most exhaustive a review of our party. i went through everything i could find, and let me tell you, when i found things that were inconsistent with our values, i made sure we put aside and we got rid of them. every step along the way, i would call bernie, i would call hillary. i would report back to them. yes i'm grateful bernie and , hillary stood by us and since this party was hacked by a foreign, hostile military intelligence communication. they stood by us so we could get back to work for democrats across this country. when it comes to the staff of the democratic party, i will stand by them. they are the best and brightest, the hardest working, the most dedicated. let me say this. the most courageous people i know. i know

clinton who struggled for the first three to six months as they are making that transition. >> yeah. >> running against washington to actually having to get along with washington. >> yeah. >> it's, obviously, happening again which you probably would have predicted. is it any worse than what you've seen in the past? any more dysfunctional at the white house? >> there is always an adjustment. if you've run against washington to kind of reach an understanding that there are a lot of other people who are pretty good at politics too or they wouldn't have gotten elected in the first place. everybody looks at last year's election and say it was a change election. well, it was in the presidential race. but not is in the national race. republicans got re-elected and held the majority and happened in the house as well. the american public was not wanting to change the congress. they wanted a different kind of president and no question that donald trump is a different kind of president. he's about as different -- he is now comparing himself to andrew jackson and i think it's a pretty good compa

." >> ♪ give peace a chance >> here you are looking at bill clinton's saxophone, the saxophone bill clinton was given after elected president. famously during his campaign he appeared "the arsenio hall show" and played the saxophone. it was a moment that got him dubbed the rock 'n' roll president and probably helped get him elected. this is the guitar that jimi hendrix played at the woodstock music festival in 1969. woodstock was three days of love, peace, music, hippies, mud, in upstate new york. he played his electrified version of "the star-spangled banner" that woke up the crowd sleeping off the night before. and really woke up america. ♪ the way he played that electrified version of the song, people heard the machine guns going off in vietnam. the sounds of protests in the streets of america at the time. it lifted beyond the simple playing of "the star-spangled banner" and had resonance for generations of what he was tried say. politicians say that who are the most popular people around? rock stars. these are the gods and goddesses of our time and politicians want that to rub off on

we've seen that in the bill clinton investigation. and now, that has me tas sized into many other subject areas, so this is a very important period for the trump white house and if trump is seen as trying to put out the fire that darrell issa lit, somebody who has been head of an investigative congressional committee who knows how it's done. you're looking at potentially congressional communities an the administration is is only five weeks old. >> hard to believe. then there's this. turn to the president's newly appointed national security adviser and an official is telling cnn that hr mcmaster says the term radical islamic terrorism is not helpful. among allies when fight iing terror broad, you heard this come frg obama administration in terms of why the president wouldn't use that language. so, is is there a feeling that mcmaster's logic here would rub off on president trump? >> absolutely. president trump is very influenced by the generals who he picked to advise him. and even though this is a reversal of the trump policy as expres

i worked for bill clinton. they were just as concerned in his administration as donald trump. harris: they had leaks. >> and they did. but bill clinton would hold his tongue in meetings to try to eliminate the possibilities of leaks. he'd be private in his conversations, but there was none of this, and i'm very glad there wasn't. harris: okay, let's talk about how sean spicer is handling. this you talked about the focus on this. social media playing a huge role in that. we have the encrypted apps that people can put on smartphones. sean spicer specifically spoke of this. you can be e-mailing back and forth with reporters, not sitting on a server. the federal records act, that's in violation of that. >> it's wrong to use apps like confide. harris: he took it off of his phone. >> yes, he was using it and took it off when he realized it was a violation. harris: >> isn't it a bit hypocritical. >> a bit. i think sean spicer is trying to find the leakers and using the apps for any reason are bad. let's say something does go wrong and need to figure out what happened and where, whenc

bill clinton's management style was maniacal. he had, what, two attorney generals that were booted out in the first couple of weeks. you can never -- you never know how a white house is going to turn out, do you? >> clinton wanted to change. he knew his administration was a mess and he hired somebody in leon panetta who could enforce order, and that is the decision that donald trump has not made yet. if he does, things could be very different. >> it all starts there. >>> coming up, jim vandehei says a new committee in washington and chaired by journalists. is the media a stronger opposition party than the democrats? we will answer that when jim joins us ahead on "morning joe." why pause a spontaneous moment? cialis for daily use treats ed and the urinary symptoms of bph. tell your doctor about your medicines, and ask if your heart is healthy enough for sex. do not take cialis if you take nitrates for chest pain, or adempas® for pulmonary hypertension, as this may cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure. do not drink alcohol in ex

bill clinton might say 21 million jobs. f.d.r. -- really? more in three weeks than most administrations in history? >> well, look, there's only so much you can do in three weeks. >> why not say we're off to a good start? >> this kind of bravado, and i'm sure they have their way of measuring it which involves numbers of executive actions, and that's one way you can measure such things. we can fact check that and say, well, actually, most of these are symbolic. these are sort of just pieces of paper positioning, and certainly they have signalled a new direction. >> by that measure i have won the powerball 1,000 times. i have bought a lot of tickets, but never won. >> they have set a lot of things in motion, and a lot of them look to be running up against the reality of governing, which is something trump was sure he could sort of steam roll, right? he could just come in there and knock it all down, and it turns out they didn't repeal or replace obama care on day one, and that has turned into a somewhat flexible promise. i think a lot of these

bush, bill clinton and barack obama all chose to escape washington early in the first months of office but none were dealing with the kind of self-induced crises that president trump is facing. this past week he fired his national security adviser, mike flynn. saw his labor secretary nominee have to drop out, forced to react to a report that his staff had repeated contact with russian officials during the campaign and realized that congressional republicans were becoming more emboldened to distance themselves and investigate his ties to plummet to historic lows. it was no surprise that the president sought to go back to what he does best, communicate directly with the american people, first through a televised news conference and yesterday at a rally. back on the stump last night for what his team called a campaign rally. more than 1350 days before the next presidential election. >> despite all their lies, misrepresentations and false stories, they could not defeat us in the primaries, and they could not defeat us in the general election. we will continue to win, win, win. >> mr. trump

>> you and i talked before, bill clinton had a famously horrible first 6 to 8 months in office. dagen: hillary-care. >> two failed nominees for attorney general and the controversy over gaze in the military. and it took a long time to sort out. here is the thing. being president is not like any other job. it's not like any other job. the experience bill clinton brought with him as governor of arkansas or donald trump as a celebrity developer. but here on president's day we remember all different kinds of men have inhabited that office. but it isn't like anything else on earth. it takes a minute to figure out who you are and what kind of president you want to be. dagen: people analyze what trump says on twitter and in these rallies, and they seem to expect a different trump than they have seen the last 1 1/2, 2 years or throughout his entire career. and this is as new president. >> let's take the press. let's take this media piece of it. by going and smashing the press in the face with satire iron. there is blood streaming from their nose and they are staggering around. and his s

bill clinton had three. coming in. meanwhile with the clinton white house, they immediately wanted to do something that donald trump thought about doing. that's move the press corps. >> well, that's right there is always idea to go back to the prenixon white house where you actually had a beautiful indoor swimming pool in the west wing and executive mansion. nixon put a floor over it and white house briefing room ever since. it's a very cramped space but gives intimate access to the white house. and the clinton administration toyed with the idea of moving it to the old executive office building. ultimately they didn't. >> huge backlash on top of that remember bill clinton had that problem with the hair cut. that was also somewhat controversial. he also stumbled into an issue he really didn't want to and that was clashing about guys in the military during the transition there was a news conference and he was asked about it made the meeting with the joint chiefs of staff early in january not to talk about global issues o

questions were asked of barack obama, george w bush, bill clinton, all of them. there is something very particular happening in the american presidency. the professor i just spoke to in the american presidency. the professor ijust spoke to in the last segment, he said, "i believe that donald trump didn't actually believe he was going to win". leigh absolutely! we know everything donald trump is doing is shooting from the hip. —— he is shooting from the hip. it has been busy and a lot is going on. it could have gone smoother but i don't know, ijust wonder. that is interesting. what you said about what the professor just interesting. what you said about what the professorjust said, i interviewed somebody in london who knows trump and he said he was on the phone at some point last year, early last year and said, "i had no idea i was going to get this far but i'mjust idea i was going to get this far but i'm just going to roll with it". interesting. you can't, they are even blaming trump on rising interest rates. interest rates are not going up around the world be

. >> economics is about incentives and -- >> neil: you said that about bill clinton. why you liked him. he's got that. >> he sure did. >> neil: you get that. >> absolutely correct. bill clinton did a great job as president of the united states and we saw a huge rise in the stock market and the economy and employment. trump is going along that way as well. the one thing that bothers me, neil, the pay-for concept. it should not be done on a static basis. fay for, what you have happen, you'll pay for three years out when the economy grows like mad. when we did our tax cuts in 81, we didn't have a pay for. we cut tax rates and let it go. when the economy boomed, that's when we got our pay for and the residents came in and all that. that's what he should be doing and not worry about a border tax adjustment. cut the personal rates and get it going. >> a lot of people look back at the great days and they say the problem with even republicans at the time with all that money that was coming in to washington is they spent it and then some. should there be provisos in there wher

that's in part what got hillary and bill clinton into trouble this time around when she ran. god knows how much money barack obama and michelle are going to make from their books, not to mention speeches, et cetera. we've become -- we've come to accept the fact that presidents are going to enrich themselves when they're out of office. i don't begrudge mr. trump being richer -- than he is now. the question is whether or not those checks and balances that are in place to stop him from doing that on our backs are going to work. are they going work? >> wait a minute. let's distinguish between two things. yeah, presidents make money after they leave office. why not? i mean, it's america. americans like to make money. if they make money in honest ways, whether by the books they write or businesses they join -- >> or the speeches they give to gas t goldman sachs and other places -- >> yeah, i love that a little bit less because that looks like the sale of Ñit

. >> john, you also hear trump critics invoking republican outrage over the issue of bill clinton with loretta lynch on the plane. why aren't they outraged now? it's not exactly apples to apples. >> and congress is out of town this week. we'll see what happens when they come back next week. maybe at weekend town halls. during the campaign, they said it was inappropriate that bill clinton was trying to influence the investigation when he had an inappropriate conversation with the attorney general. the president of the united states should never have gone to th that plane. republicans have said clintons think they have their own rules. whether it's that conversation with loretta lynch or setting of a private e-mail server. now reince priebus is at the same situation. the chief of staff's job is to say whoa, the white house counsel's office is down the hall. take it up with the counsel, not with me. i'm the political gatekeeper, not the person who should be involved in that conversation. >> president trump tweeted today, said the fbi's totally unable to stop the national security leakers

bill clinton said you shouldn't pick fights with people that buy their ink by the barrel. let's look at the telegraph, plans to save the university of oxford's funding with a paris branch perhaps. they've been in meetings this week apparently, friends of visuals continuing their charm offensive. flipping the glad i at banks. —— french officials. orchestras, as rob saw last week, and universities. from spending a lot of time with academics in the la st lot of time with academics in the last couple of weeks, by coincidence they are all very worried about the brexit decision, they are all where worried about what's happening to their students and their funding. —— very worried. one of the popular schemes funded by the eu is the erasmus scheme, the exchange, where you can study at a foreign university and lots of students wa nted university and lots of students wanted to come to britain but they've seen the numbers drop of four applications because they're sensing the brexit effect. -- drop—off for. universities have been one of our great strengths recently and that

congress impeached bill clinton for obstructing justice though he was acquitted. and more recently. >> what difference at this point does it make? >> reporter: an investigation by congressional republicans into secretary of state hillary clinton's role in the libya attack that killed a u.s. ambassador led to a troubling discovery that helped derail her bid for the white house. as secretary, she used a personal e-mail account, hosted on a computer server she kept in her basement. >> the server will remain private. >> reporter: the fbi launched an investigation and took possession of the server which had been wiped. >> with a cloth or something? no. >> reporter: lawsuits led to the release of clinton's e-mails as voters doubted her trustworthiness. in summer 2016, james comey announced he would not recommend criminal charges but chastised clinton on her team. >> there is evidence they were extremely careless in their handling of classified information. >> reporter: comey opened the investigation before the election after e-mails were discovered in the fbi's investig
