we recognize that the clinton administration and clinton democrats want a smaller, private sector with fewer private sector jobs and a bigger government. we republicans recognize we republicans recognize that we want more in the family budget and more take home pay and we want less in the federal budget. the clinton administration is willing to take away from the family budget and take away from your take home pay to have more in the government budget. so when the clinton administration says a balanced budget amendment would cost $750 billion, what they're saying is they will tax and borrow from you and your children, but they will not take away from government, in effect. in effect, al gore is reinventing government as a cosmetics facial theft of the old order. what we are saying is something very different. and we're not just offering theory. i would urge the washington press corps call governor weld in massachusetts, call governor carol campbell in south carolina, call governor john engler in michigan. call governor tommy thompson in wisconsin. call governor george allen in virginia

jake: it is difficult going back to the clinton administration. the north koreans have continued to move forward with their nuclear weapons program. in the course of the past year, they have conducted long-range missile tests. we have been warning about the possibility of a seventh nuclear test of a nuclear weapon. we still think that is something likely to happen in the coming months. we have also indicated to the north koreans we are prepared to sit down in a serious way to conduct diplomacy, on a step-by-step basis work towards the de-nuclearization of north korea. so far, no interest. david: china-taiwan, do you see any problem occurring or the chinese will invade taiwan? jake: it remains a distinct threat that could be a military contingency around taiwan, and the people's republic of china has stated its official policy, it is not taking the invasion of taiwan off the table. that remains one of the potential options for taiwan. their position has been changing over time in terms of their disturbance of the status quo across the straits. the

a murder that led to the clinton administration creating the infamous "don't ask, don't tell" policy in the u.s. military. gay rights groups including the anti-violence project said mcdonald's expose' ignited reforms of police departments nationwide. to begin reporting and tracking data for the first on gay hate crimes. she then went on to the "wall street journal" where she again captured headlines nationwide when she broke the news about how the church of scientology got a secret back-room deal from the clinton administration. mcdonald also broke the news at "the wall street journal" about how president john f. kennedy and his brother, attorney general robert kennedy, used the irs to secretly attack, audit and muzzle jfk's political enemies both left-wing and right-wing groups. how these political audits outnumbered those by richard nixon n a chilling twist mcdonald uncovered how the kennedys got the irs to audit assassin lee harvey oswald group, fair committee before oswald shot and killed jfk. that added a fresh angle to the kennedy as nation. mcdonald covered allegations of poli

lacked security in clin clinton administration. all during the clinton administration, not a debate over documents, what if. this happened. more obama, washington times in 2009. shifted authority for approving sales to china missile space technology from the white house to the commerce department. you know why? because the commerce department is less involved in security and more involved in co commerce than the white house, president issued a notice. delegating authority for determining whether missile and stace exports should be a3r0approved by china. that is how serious they took it another piece, from, insider. obama just made a quieter nuclear deal with china. the deal would allow beijing to buy o more u.s. design reactors. could be adapted to making submarines quiter and harder to defect. guess what. they have done that, that is obama. biden. instead of holding iran, now building nukes, biden administration will remove the stig stigma of terrorism dessic n iic nation on iran but reward it. git. >> respected lead imposes no re

into the bush administration and clinton administration and the controversy is that on the eve of the reelection attemptel in 1992 he issues an indictment of caspar weinberger who is the secretary defense under reagan and this is seen as a black mark againstnd bush and harms bush politically right as he's about to run for reelection and bushy in his campaign chair man are irate for what he's done and later the christmas a day of pardons of those implicated in the iran contra scandal bush was three weeks from leaving the presidency and this creates a lot of republican anger about the council and amend the democrats to join in their anger about the counseling at the clinton administration which leads to the lapse of the council. >> versus the special counsel, what are the large differences? >> it's a great question. my editors at the washington examiner after they looked at the draft said please explain the difference here so i'm glad you're asking. the council is different in that it has less of a reporting nature or relationship with the department of justice and its independent from

and did that job for seven years in the clinton administration. his job was to bring the europe policy and the russia policy together. it was to establish and integrate europeans into europe. and to try to create a partnership with russia. your people you want to focus on central and eastern europe did not to worry about russia. others want to focus on the partnership of the russia and did not care as much about central and eastern europeans. the clinton approach was to do both and there were lots of successes. russia joined nato's partnership for peace. russia participated in the implementation force after the dayton peace accords were signed. the implication in bosnia. russia signed a founding act as it was called in 1997 to establish a new relationship between nato and russia as nato was enlarging. then there was the diplomacy to end the war the co- civil war which played a critical role working with the russians in the finished president. lots of successes lots of hope they could actually have this relationship. there was a belief, the idea wa

the 6-year-old boy, the clinton administration returned him to his father in cuba. but there was a photo of professional agents seizing a sobbing 6-year-old that enflamed conservatives in the right wing, and the cuban community in florida. and the 2000 election was very close. a lot of things could have altered it, but it didn't help that the clinton administration was seen on the wrong side of that issue in the eyes of the cuban community, and famously it was florida that cost -- and the supreme court that cost al gore the election. so i think the florida governor desantis is really playing the fire when he places venezuelan immigrants, who are fleeing a communist regime, treating them like these -- like the -- like pawns and like the caricature that trump introduced, that they're, you know, rapists coming across from mexico. and -- >> and i'll let you finish, but also standing subject to the very real criticism that many immigrant communities care about, which is it looks like he may have lead or induced them into a temporary type of immigration. which i guess if

it's actually the united states was the one who was leading this effort, going back to the clinton administration to go against an agreement that bill clinton gave to, to, to, to russia. that it would not seek to expand. but all the while it was. and now we're seeing that native is looking for a new agenda and we saw it just very recently in their closing statements up there now. and not only including the arctic, but also china as something to keep an eye on. and russia has, had, had made it clear this latest last december, in, in statements to the united states, united states, i don't think the europeans would have done what they, what has now occurred if it weren't for the united states and the neocons with neo conservatives within the u. s. government pushing pushing, pushing this agenda and trying to take advantage of it. probably thinking that nothing whatever that russia would never do. what ultimately happens. we won't protest is of down the empower the call for the resignation of frances presidents and an end to sanctions against russia. that of course, you energy prices skyrocket. boyd

it's actually the united states was the one who was leading this effort, going back to the clinton administration, to go against an agreement that bill clinton gave to, to, to, to russia. that it would not seek to expand. but all the while it was and, and a lot of it was because of internal us determination by the national security community that they needed to, to expand and basically, ultimately to contain russia. and now were standing in the all that the united states was in agreement with the idea of indivisible security for eastern west. that is that they, they, they agreed that one side would not strengthen against the other. and there were 6 basic agreements to that effect. many of them were assigned going, going back to the helsinki final act of 1975, the 1990 charter of, of paris for, for, for the, a new europe. all of these and more and there and in the united states was a party to those agreements of not to expand nato to, to the russian border. yet, all the while it was planned to do that. and that's precisely what it did. and now, worse and now because it's the end of the cold war, s

the american ambassador at christopher hill, who was an active participant during the clinton administration of practically he. busy was in favor of bombing and, and also met with the terrorists from the caly. he and he asked, he had the audacity to ask her to, to see the document signed between foreign ministers of serbia and russia in new york recently. so of this kind of colonial approach is, is absolutely outrageous but, but we don't really deal here with any kind of standards or principles, but with a brute force and brutal impudence by the western politicians. so i only expect this to continue, but i don't think that people in these 4 regions or in russia are in the rest of the world for that matter should really care about. yeah, that's an excellent point. now speaking of all of the threats that were issued and of the fact that you had high such a high voter turnout, you had people getting out anyway. what is the precedent that has been set by these referendums? and how do you see the west responding in the years to come? i think that we are going to enter a new kind of a cold war, wh

administration, which i served him and which i was proud to serve and we are. so i think began making big mistakes, which were continued in should ministration. will the expansion of nato towards russia. we kept saying was not threatening to us, but the threat is to the person who perceives a threat, not to the person who tells you i'm not threatening you. but any case expansion of nato for the russian national security establishment was a big, big, big item remains a big item. was in that video. this was invited to the nato summit to moderate. and she was promised establishing a missile defense system. russia will be involved there that the americans never did. that's a problem of the history of disappointments of promises on the one side and disappoint. and no, you can't deal with russia in such way. ah, no matter what we sent to our american partners to cab the production of weaponry, they refused to cooperate with us. they rejected our office and continue to do their own thing. dishes, people do some things. i cannot tell you right now publicly, but can you

don't ask , don't tell was enacted during the clinton administration so that gays and lesbians could still serve in the u. s military but not openly prior to 1993, gays and lesbians were banned from serving and importantly to reestablish their eligibility for full veteransbenefits. but many veterans sadly don't know or can't even access this important process. military times reports that 14,000 servicemen and women were forced out of the military because they admitted their sexual orientation as gay or lesbian under. don't ask, don't tell it was the thing that almost maybe not enlist, um, because i had to make a conscious choice that i was going to go back into the closet that i couldn't share. all of who i am as a as an individual human. nick herrera served in california's army national guard in the early two thousands and says, although she didn't disclose her sexuality while serving, she remembers how it felt to be investigated. it made an already difficult situation being deployed to an overseas country. the job that we that we were working in the environment that we're working u

she also served for four years in the clinton administration as associate counsel to the president and deputy assistant to the president for domestic policy. between 2003 and 2009, she served as the dean of harvard law school and 2009 president obama nominated her as solicitor general of the united states. a year later, the president nominated as associate justice of the supreme court and took her seat on august 7, 2010. we are honored to dialogue with justice kagan and hear her insights. please join me in welcoming her. [applause] [indiscernible] his role in shaping and making it into the global law firm. i got to know him even before i was -- i came here five or six years ago because, i started out my teaching career at another chicago law school and people in chicago, they just know who he was. he was so important not only to that firm he developed but to this city and was such a leader in this city. and what i would like -- what i think of his -- i think of like a problem solver. and these are the best kind of lawyers, the lawyers who solve problems. so even in the big cases that h

least the clinton administration. i think about this when i'm doing some sort of amateur repair work at home and i bring a ranch upstairs and realize i need a hammer but i don't have a hammer. if you turn the ranch on its side and angle it just right you can make it work. that's essentially what agencies have been doing. we would rather have a hammer, let's find the hammer and make the system not to be what congress was actually giving the power to do but more useful with the problem. i don't think it realizes the way to do with this is to think in a more principled way about how we need to understand the powers and this is particularly the point for chief justice roberts in a case called arlington. he identified these principles albeit in defense and the biggest problem was perhaps the chief justice decided they had overturned enough cases and they didn't want to overturn this obscure administrative law case but having done so he might have had a more workable doctrine. i apologize for going on for too long.

administration so you're talking about 24 years here. i knew in that time period numerous cases where a president would say to the director of the cia or nsa could when you declassify this for the following reasons and that person would take that request back and it would be worked. people would look at the potential downside so there would be a dialogue between his or her main advisors. i know of only one case where a president declassified something without discussion with intelligence committee. and i was mentioning this before we came on. president bush declassified several excerpts from the 2002 weapons of mass destruction estimate for scooter libby to use during his grand jury hearing. the president did that and he did not consult with of the intelligence community. knowing the deputy national security advisor at the time, i am sure he made the president to sign a piece of paper that said i declassify these excerpts. that is where they've declassified a document and even the times when a president is requested can we declassify thi

the clinton administration approach with strobe in the lead was to do both, and there were lots of successes. russia joined the partnership for peace russia participated in the implementation force after the dayton peace accords were signed, the limitation in bosnia -- implementation. the founding act in 1997 to establish any relationship between nato and russia as nato was enlarging and then there was the diplomacy to end the war, the kosovo war which strobe played the critical role working with the russians and the finnish president. so lots of successes come lots of hope that you could actually have this relationship. there was a belief, the idea of the time was you could have stable european security order without russia. and here we are today, you can have stable european security with russia. russia is up to undermine the european security order. the biden administration policy of punishing russia, with her in a previous panel, , sanctions, isolating russia diplomatically, and weakening russia military through support for ukraine militarily is really the only approach that we can have

the democrats favorite charity looks more crooked than the clinton administration? where is the congressional black caucus? i haven't heard a word from them. have you? the people in the streets want to know where the money is. dr. bob goodson is a former civil rights leader and founder of the woodson center. it's a real tragedy here, dr. woodson. >> it really is. they have exploited the goodwill of the ones you saw there. they have also sacrificed the well-being of thousands of blacks over 20,000 blacks are killed by other blacks since -- when black lives started in 2014, there were 14,000 deaths. that number has now risen to 20,020,000 blacks. they claim it's a legacy of slavery and institutional racism. and this is patently untrue in fact, i was born in 1937 in auto low income black neighborhood. we were low income segregated and black but we were also safe elderly people could walk safely without fear of being assaulted by grand children. babies were not shot in their cribs. 50 children have been murdered including the 4-year-old niece of george floyd. but, as yo

lauren: it was written by a professor of finances, used to work in the clinton administration, writing you should be happy about inflation and worried about something else. happy about inflation, it is required in the transition to the digital economy, tech jobs and something else you should be worried about, entrenched inflation and stagflation. he said that is possible but one causes the other. you can't be happy about inflation and still worry what it causes. you are worried about both but can't say that 2 people. neil: another example, thank you very much. now this. a homeless man was caught on camera defecating on the street in los angeles, he then took that bag of feces and hurled it at a small business owner. watch this. >> why are you throwing feces at people? you through feces at this gentleman. >> have paralyzed and blind, i have no car for 9 years. >> reporter: do you need help? the city is offering help. >> the business owner, the owner of blue dog, where do you begin? will you leave los angeles with conditions like this? >> i don't want to. i made this place my home for 37
