What he does in the campaign i think, particularly in the first couple of months still seems to be something of an open question. theres a desire from the hillary clinton campaign to have her in smaller events perhaps that means he ends up in bigger events. they also want to build out her biography as an individual separate from bill clinton. shes obviously going to be associated with him, but they want people to get to know her. so that could argue for a lower profile role particularly at the s...

Beefs up missile defense in alaska, it will come online in 2017. so that is four years from now. i think north korea could act before that if it had a mind to. this is now almost 20 years, bret, since the crisis so to speak on korean peninsula broke out in first clinton term. this has been going on and on since that time. heading to perpetual extortion or miscalculation and break sooner than we would like. >> bret: representative franks had a statement released today. its unfortunate it has take...

Capital gains. the capital gains tax is a blunt instrument. i dont mind preferential treatment for capital gains because if you invest and create jobs, thats a good thing, and we need that. the problem is that the big banks, for example, invest in things like credit default swaps pushing all this money around, its like the carried interest. carried interest for real estate makes sense, but carried interest for a lot of other things doesnt. so the problem is, the republicans are right. we really ...

Successful are you going to be. >> does it matter, though? this is a genuine question. the abilities of that person who has that role, does it matter how good they are at doing that thing in resolving these conflicts or projecting u.s. power or whatever it is? >> so second clinton term, arguably you couldnt have had kosovo and wouldnt have ended as good as it did without madeiline albright. so yeah, it does -- on the one hand, increasingly the president is his own secretary of state and were see...

Opposed to following policy fights, but it is striking that we saw the president at that debate with mitt romney, where it quickly spiralled into the false fact check and the please proceed and everything. we saw the president at that debate and we saw the president again today sort of bring the room to a halt, stop everybody, and look really pissed. i have not seen that very much in covering him as president. are there instances -- youve worked with and around him since going back to 2007. is t...

It quickly spiralled into the false fact check and the please proceed and everything. we saw the president at that debate and we saw the president again today sort of bring the room to a halt, stop everybody, and look really pissed. i have not seen that very much in covering him as president. are there instances -- youve worked with and around him since going back to 2007. is there a pattern to when he gets mad about stuff? >> well, he has only a certain tolerance for some of the idiocy that the...

Continuing with charles. >> charles krauthammer joins joins us live from washington, d.c.. your thoughts on the speech? >> when i think im going respect said from the past i think it was a giant swing ask a miss. mighty casey and bill clinton is a natural. a struck out on this, i dont think it moved a needle whatsoever. it had classic elements, it was engaging and humorous. in cases it was generous and there are more mention of the bushes than three days in tampa but it was vintage clinton? in t...

There are more mention of the bushes than three days in tampa but it was vintage clinton? in that it was sprawling, undisciplined and self indull jent this, is one of the strangest nomination speeches i think ever given kind of between a state of the union address and a policy seminar and what sounded to me like a campaign speech for clinton term. obama was sort of insy dental. he was shown every once in a while in the speech. megyn raised a point about clinton saying i believe no other presiden...

"american morning" continues right now. im christine romans. heres what you need to know to start your day. people in new york and washington being told to stay alert and stay calm. the feds watching a possible terror threat as our nation marks ten years after 9/11. im carol costello. a fiery president obama announcing his jobs plan to jol...

Continued between then vice president al gore and texas governor george w. bush. >> so much bitterness in washington. time to have a fresh start. >> one of the reasons i was successful as the governor of texas is because i didnt try to be all things to all people. >> the only way to convince voters to vote for al gore was to not ask them for a third clinton term. >> we are entering a new time. we are electing a new president and i stand here tonight as my own man and i want you to know me for wh...
