Were not turning into tmz but devoting an entire episode of our show to a single topic. Hillary clinton delighting republicans and giving democrats the heebiejeebies and living the media into a lawn foaming frenzy. Speaking of tmz, yesterday, the reporter hounded hillary at the airport and blasted out this video that contains exactly zero relevance, substance, or news value. Howre are you doing hillary . Was that just a general gap or can it be corrected . Any chance it will be corrected . Have a good day. Part of why this controversy is coming on the heels of other recent controversies related to the Clinton Family foundation and why it resonates so powerfully in the political world as it contains the dna of every clintons candle since we started covering hillary and bill. The environment today is exactly different. The question is whether you think the scandal is, in some ways, actually more dangerous to hillary than anything she has ever seen before . Even assuming the worst, this is not white water. This is not lewinsky. This is dangerous because of twitter, social media, and the ability of conservatives to whip things up. Its dangerous because of the timing and its dangerous because she has less infrastructure now than she has for years. Its also dangerous because of the dna we are talking about. A lot of people admire the clintons and the Democratic Party. There are things that make them uneasy. Secrecy paranoia, playing by their own rules, not having an organized staff or people to tell them to do the right thing. A lot of democrats are nervous about having her as the nominee. She is going into battle at a time when she is rusty. Shes never been great at dealing with this and it will be hard for her husband to defend her on these matters. It is the end of a very bad time. She left the state department and everything that has happened since then has not been good. There have been things that is quite bad. The book tour did not go well and did not sell well. Shes not had a great run for more than a year. You hear it and a lot of democrats that really respect and love her. They are not 100 confident she is a deadlock to win this election. Going into the announcement you want to be on an upswing and it is difficult to see how she announces with this in not paying over her head at a time when the elite world of politics is focused on this intently. The press dynamic is horrible for her. Somehow if you missed her tweet that went out at 11 35 p. M. Eastern time, we will give it the old tv rt. I want the public to see my email. I asked the state to release them and they will be reviewed as soon as possible. It has been retweeted over 7000 times and counting. Kicking off, what the you think the current Hillary Clinton strategy is to deal with these current problems she faces on emails and the foundation . It is surprising. We rarely see the clintons back down in anyway so this notion that she held she had to give some ground to release documents without being absolutely compelled. It is striking. She is buying time and hoping that this all just subsides. The clintons have seen their share of flaps and a lot of them do glover relatively quickly. Heart of her thinks if she can buy some time, this will fade from view and not be threatening. She has already lawyered up. I predicted based on one conversation i had today that she is going to as she builds her campaign team, a pretty quick focus on who can be in the war room. Who can be a master of disaster like others were for her husband. Who can figure out a way to lead the classic clinton defense. Legal communications, everything else. Here is the question. 1992, the war room was the model. What we found in 2008 is that she tried to build a war room and did not build one. One of the things about that campaign was the structure of it. Is she able to build that war room . I will tell you the tea leaves. One of the reasons this controversy on the email and the foundation are so problematic is it is weird. It there is no reply. A tweet at 11 35 p. M. Where her staff has nothing meaningful to say, not courted coordinated very well. It just makes the press and her enemies say, what going on here . As much as i criticize the 2008 campaign, there were strong voices. Right now, with all due respect to the people who represent her, there is no strong voice. Who is the voice of hillary right now . She is silent and they are largely if you are somebody like us who respects her and believes that she is a great Public Servant there is nowhere to go to tell that story because nobody is talking. I know weve got to move on. Hillary clinton is going to have to have a strategy. A tweet is not a strategy. And there was one of those strong voices from the past. The white house is defending hillary, kind of, sort of. If you ask fellow democrats, they say, i dont know. Ive been too busy rearranging my sock drawer to Pay Attention to this. This is current secretary of state john kerrys response when the question was posed earlier today on saudi arabia. All the ones that are appropriate and in purview with the department. Let me check on that when i have time to Pay Attention to such an important issue. The barn door on this story is open. Where does this story go next . The six ring circus. The state department and others reporting that it might take months to go through the emails and decide which to release. Investigations on capitol hill. The new normal is the press will be sympathetic to benghazi investigations. That was not true one week ago. And i think the clintons have to decide what to do. Can she walk past cameras, continue to not speak out and rely on occasional talking points . They have been helping her some. A little bit. But they are not invested. We talked a lot about how important it was that Hillary Clinton is bringing in obama to the campaign. The truth is, deep down there is still distrust and bitterness. There are people that feel as though she has screwed them over. Who are the officers at the state department . Who fulfills the request . And what do they do now . Aggressively trying to get responses not through administrative appeal but through litigation. Those decisions, if that stuff starts to come out, the path that would have been seen as a big story is going to be a colossal story. Because Hillary Clinton will not say anything other than that one tweet, nothing about the foundation. The job of defending her falls to people like david brock who we had on yesterday and Hillary Clintons other allies. There are groups like america rising. Run by matt romney mitt romneys old campaign manager. And doing a lot of excellent work from their point of view of going after Hillary Clinton. The proxy war between the defenders and those going on the offense, who is winning . The republican side is winning and pretty dramatically. You talked yesterday about how you quoted a quote back it was true back when david brock said it in the early 1990s. They have some defenders. The republicans are much more they have been building for weeks and months. Building energy, she is public enemy number one. They have been waiting for this moment and pouncing on it. Republicans have no one else to investigate. You look at these republican groups. The democrats put out something to say that republicans have their own email problems. The fact is, the stuff being put out by John BoehnersOffice America rising, it is highquality because it is based more than the normal spend documents in fact with really smart explanation of what are the Unanswered Questions . And it is well coordinated. They are working in tandem right now. The dnc as a party, has kind of weathered. It does not a lot of coordination between the d and e in the nonexistent when Campaign Clinton campaign. These republican groups have done a great job but they have a lot to work with and it makes their job easier. We have discussed this hillary show so much that if it were marijuana, we would be smoking it in seth rogens office. There is a dinosaur question that matters the most. Will this scandal materially affect her ability to be the nominee for the president of the United States . Yes. I dont want to be hyperbolic and i think she is still the most likely person to be elected president but her chances go down. Not just because of the problems like the foundation and this email thing where the Unanswered Questions are a lot bigger. But because of what it says about her readiness to do this and the difficulty she will have launching a president ial campaign. Her speech was not the kind of speech that is going to distract people. She might have some controversy but she is an awesome candidate. You and i both know the 2008 race well. A lot of democrats were nervous about her and thought she was too polarizing. That she could not carry red and purple states. None of those things exploded but they had an alternative and barack obama. Democrats are worried in different ways about Hillary Clinton now. This has now exploded. For a bunch of democrats that previously thought there is no use standing in the way of an oncoming train, they can say i have a pretext to get in this race. People like Elizabeth Moran war ren. They can say this is my pretext for getting in. Im not predicting they will but they can. We have not heard a word from the best strategist of the Democratic Party, bill clinton. A democrat said she is going to die by 1000 cuts on these controversies. The former chair of the South Carolina party coming up next. Our guest tonight is definitely somebody who is not ready for hillary. The chairman of the Democratic Party from South Carolina. Supports joe biden now, a big supporter of barack obama. As we said, not a big Hillary Clinton backer. These twin controversies. The emails and the foundation taking money from foreign governments. Do you think she has been poorly served by her staff and made bad judgments order you think she fundamentally doesnt have the character you would like to see as a candidate . Fundamentally, she has deferred the running of her campaign to a bunch of folks that dont have good judgment. Even she conceded that a few weeks ago when she had john come in to what run the Campaign Clinton folks saying that he would be the adult in the room. What does that say about the rest of the folks in the room . She is a bad person or bad judgment . I dont think shes a bad person. I think she is uniquely unqualified to run a campaign. If she is getting that it buys or not taking it, this email issue is such an unforced error that it boggles the mind. Is this a tactical error or is this some sign of deeper or more fundamental corruption . I would not use the word corruption but i would say its a deeper and fundamental flaw. This lack of transparency is not consistent with wanting to be the president of the United States or any public official. You give up your right to privacy when you become a public official whether it is the senator, secretary of state, or president of the United States. If she calls you up and says i totally appreciate what you are saying. I want to do everything i can to fix the email problem, fix the Foundation Donation problem what advice would you give her . What do she had to do to satisfy you that she gets those problems and fixes them . Im not sure having known her for 30 years, that they are fixable. She is seeing this country from 30,000 feet up. I will like to know, hillary, when was the last time you went to a Grocery Store . Without an entourage, mingled with folks and ask them about their problems. Im sorry to interrupt but i want to get back to my question. You are saying the email problem is not fixable . Based on what i heard, she had her own server set up. It wasnt that i got my Gmail Account and i will use it for this. Its a very deliberate effort on her part to insulate a big segment of her communications from scrutiny. We know some of those had to do with the department of state and official business because she has turned some of them over. I think it is not fixable and something she will have to apologize for. It is symptomatic of this penchant for lack of transparency. Having money raised for the foundation from foreign nationals where she is secretary of state, how do you not see that . You were saying that she would die the death of a thousand cuts. It you administered some of the cost that helps kill her and South Carolina to both her and her husband. Is your view that any democrat would be a dimmer better democratic nominee than clinton in 2016 . It may be a pretty strong statement. I would say there are plenty of other democrats that would be a better nominee in 2016. I dont want to lose the white house. I am convinced every day. You say 1000 cuts, there are one and two and there are plenty more to come. There is kristin, amy klobuchar, a lizabeth Moran Elizabeth mwarren. You have known both clintons for a long time. Just describe your sense of where Hillary Clintons head is at on the precipice of a president ial run and where bill clintons head is at . Her head is that its her term. Thats the major rationale. Ive paid my dues and put up with a lot of crap. Ive put up with bill. Bill says she is my wife and gives me the opportunity to be in the white house again. Those were great times. Lets do it again. For bill, its like the Rolling Stones doing a tour at age 70. He wants to go back on the road. If she runs, you want her to be the next president. Absolutely. Whoever the democrat is, i want them to win. Have you heard from other democrats about what you said . Several indicated that she needs to be tested. If she gets through a tough primary and wins, fine. This entitlement, this anointment, this coronation is not good for the party. I had lunch with a woman today that said its time we had a woman and you shouldnt be attacking hillary and made it very clear that she thought i ought to back off. She is entitled to her opinion and im entitled to mine. Mr. Chairman, thank you for joining us. Wax thank you. You will take care. When we come back, the International Man of mystery. The worldwide figure of enigma. The eric hotemham is revealed here nex. T t. One big mystery packed into the email story is a name surfaced because he was linked to the personal email server that she used. That name is eric hoteham. My name is eric hoteham. Some people say i dont exist. Some people say im a pseudonym. Some people say im a misspelling of a close aide to the clintons after they left the white house. None of this is true. My name is eric hoteham. And this is my story. I was born 16 miles from arkansas hope, arkansas in the town of prescott. I graduated a year behind bill and hillary. When the clintons moved to the white house i was in line to be secretary of agriculture but the job went to mike s beat. Espy. The clintons kept me around in their inner circle. Why is my name dragged through the mud . Without me, so many things would have fallen through the cracks. Im the guy that organized every photo shoot of socks the cat. On february 20 7, 1990 three, i inflated all the balloons for chelseas Birthday Party by myself. I got her elected by designing these signs that says hillary for u. S. Senate. The guy at kinkos designed them but i paid for them. Heres a great photo of hillary faye reading favoriting one of my tweets. Everyone will remember h ericoteham eric hoteham as the guy that set up the email server. But its just one part of what i call the rich back story. We will be back with more projects to look forward to tomorrow. Tomorrow morning before you get your coffee and check your email, go to bloombergpolitics. Com and watch our Mini Documentary about the 50th anniversary about the march on selma. It is awesome. And tomorrow ill be in iowa for the agricultural summit. Lots of candidates.
