Foundation. how bad? >> i think its really significant. this hits to ep arational stuff. i can tell you inside the campaign prior to the debates, they were concerned about the foundation stuff. in fact, there was a lot of conflict between the people who were doing press and communications for the foundation and the campaign itself. the campaign did not feel -- and we saw a lot of this stuff in the wikileaks e-mails about the e-mail controversy, initially. bad communication between the campaign a...

You have $2 billion. you just blew it. >> if they had been keeping hillary clinton so close and away from the press, it wouldnt be this feeding frenzy. if they allowed her to sit down with more than reporters and anchors that they like, the press would be more inclined to leave her alone. >> i think right now it is her. >> i think theyre terrified of her. they dont want to push her. >> the result is the same. its still for her candidacy. >> shes getting beaten up on the foundation stuff, the e-m...

Stuff? is that completely personal? that played directly in a role as secretary of state. i think the interesting aspect here is one of the benefits supposedly of a clinton candidacy for the democrats was that shes already been vetted. shes been in the public sphere for so long theres nothing new to come out and i think this scandal tied with the foundation stuff is throwing that narrative entirely out the window. theres so much more to vet here. maybe more than any other candidate who jumped in...

>> they are. >> theyre concerned because they dont feel like they understand what happened. they dont feel like theyve got a plausible explanation but theyre not going to turn on her. with respect to the foundation stuff you mentioned, theres a lot of questions about appearances. real really only one mine for question. $500,000 gift. >> at the moment. >> from algeria. i come back to what lawrence said. clearly at some point the e-mails are going to get read. its going to take long time which is ...

This stuff. . and what is at risk here is not how republicans or democrats see her. its how 2 million swing state independents who become our next president sees this. and the danger for hillary is the story line of her exceeding or going beyond the rules. you know the foundation stuff that came last week is another chapter. really very much part of the same political narrative. and the other problem is it probably has legs. theres probably more turns of the screw. not just the content of the e-...

Bill clinton said she has to make that decision for herself. everything she has telegraphed so far suggests shes too tired to do it, but you never know. she might change her mind in a few years. >> well, david, i mean, we have heard her say shes tired. she wants to get off the high wire of american politics. but bill clinton, let me show you this. her husband seems a little perfectly willing to let his wife run, although he thinks shes sincere. let me show you what he said. >> and i believe that...

Tone. and also talk of 2016, the presidential race is already heating up, if you can believe it, hillary clinton has ruled on the running for vice president but in an interview today, bill clinton said this. i believe that shes being absolutely honest with you when she says she doesnt think shell go back into politics but if she comes home and we do this foundation stuff for the rest of our lives, ill be happy, if she changes her mind and cities to run, ill be happy. what do you make of that? bi...
