0 oh, that's so good. >> mr. incredibeard we salute you. always keeping your chin up. this is piers morgan live. welcome to our viewers. the wheels of the government could grind to a halt. bill clinton told me what it's like to try and fix this kind of things. you and newt gingrich eventually worked it out. how do you get things done? >> we worked it out when he was still trying to run me out of town. >> and to the other side of the story and newt gingrich and what he thinks will happen this time. and what chelsea clinton tells me about her future in politics. have you thought about running for office? >> people have been asking me that question for as long as i can remember. >> and on her mother's plans. and game night in the clinton family. who wins? >> thankfully, it's a pretty equal distribution. plus maybe the greatest come back in american history. oracle team usa comes from behind. and we talk to someone who knows a thing or two about come backs. and if washington can't get along with each other, many agencies will be shut down. mr. speaker, welcome to you. there i was chewing the fat with bill clinton, and inevitably, your name came up. and i want to play you the full quote about what he said went on between you and he in that last shut down. listen to this. >> we worked it out when he was trying to run me out of town. we were still working together. he once said the difference between us is that we'll do whatever we can, and you won't do that. you think there are things you shouldn't do. and once i realized what the deal was i let him do whatever he could, and then we did business on the side. and you're laughing, but that's really -- we reached an accommodation. >> now mr. speaker, is that how you remember things? >> well, i think we each have other own version, but there's some key things in there that tell you a lot about why the city's in a bigger mess right now. when i was speaker, which was an enormous shock, because they hadn't had a republican speaker in 41 years. they filed ethics charges and did everything they could to stop me. at the same time we all ended up in a big fight with clinton. the government got closed twice. it was a very tough environment. but the thing that made president clinton so different from president obama, we could compartment compartmentalize. it wasn't that we friends, but we understood you had to find a way to work for america, even if as plitle ca rivals were you fighting over what was going on. so we had the ability to pick up the phone and sometimes very tough conversations, to pick up the phone, to get together in the same room, to keep talking. and my guess is that we spent more days together than obama and boehner have spent minutes together this year. >> i think this is fascinating. and it's what i've been suspecting for a while. and to hear it from bill clinton and now from you is the problem, the negotiating skills of the speaker and the president. he was fascinating about his relationship with vladimir putin. that too, plays into the same area. >> it's not necessary to trust somebody to take them up on a good offer. just pay attention to what's going on. >> now he went on to say that he would get in the rum with putin, just as he did with you -- i'm not comparing you with vladimir putin. he'd get in the room with him, throw everybody out of the room and he and putin would go at it. he did this sign when i spoke with him before the interview. and we would go at each other brutally, and we would get things done. and i said to you, did vladimir putin ever let you down? did he ever renig on a goal that he had given you and he said no. that he was a man of his word. what you didn't do was try to humiliate or ridicule your opponent. now exactly the same thing i think apply does that relationship between president obama and john boehner, and it screams out to me, why are they not doing that? why do they not look at what happened between you and president clinton and between clinton and putin and try to do the same thing now for the benefit of the american people? >> i think it's a really fascinating question. i noticed today the head rhine under the president on chinn wai will not negotiate. what are you going to get done? going all the way back to your native country almost 900 years ago with the mag na car at that, the king has to negotiate with the commons or he doesn't get any money. that's the base of the magna ta. >> you may end up with 80% of the republicans and a substantisu substantial number of democrats getting along together. if you're not talking together and not creating -- one of the things i will say about president clinton. he had an intuitive ability to grasp a situation and immediately move beyond the problem and try to figure out if there was a solution. so we were a little bit like two graduate students in that we'd get in a room and start talking and theorizing and remembering books and so forth. but in that process you get away from what you couldn't do and work your way to what you could do. >> i think it's absolutely fascinating that you both talk this way. it's an exact parallel. putin's still here. and the republicans and democrats are still going at each other like they were in the mid '90s. i want to play something that will send ashoulder up your spine. >> who do you think will make the better president, your wife or your daughter? >> day after tomorrow, my wife. because she's had more experience. over the long run, chelsea. she knows more than we do about everything. >> i've got a great interview coming up with chelsea clinton, which i mod rated two panels -- she is a smart cookcookie, by t way. he's basically laying down the ground work for maybe 40 more years of clinton presidency. >> who knows. i watched last night, and i was fascinated. and i thought as a hurks i have, calista and i have two daughters. that's a question you have to dance around a little bit, because there's no possibility of you saying the daughter is smarter now and going home. so i thought he handled that in typical clinton manner. i thought he handled it very, very artfully. and calista said this to me last night. she said that is a very bright yuck woman. >> she really is. and when you see later in this show how bright she is, how poised she is, how media savvy, how confident in front of an audience, i was impressed with chelsea clinton. it's fascinating watching bill clinton say, you could have both of them. i wouldn't get too hung up in just terms of hillary. in terms of hillary, do you think there's any doubt that she will run for the presidency in 2016? >> you always have to say there's the possibility of a health problem, an accident, something you can't imagine, but i would say the odds are 90, 95% she's going to run. i was wrong in 2008. i was sure she was going to be the nominee, and i clung to that all the way into april and i couldn't imagine her not winning the nomination, so my advice may be useless. but i think the odds are very high she'll be the democratic nominee. >> is there a tiny part of yourself thaw think gingrich v clinton? >> no. i don't think that's part of my immediate future. i'm having too much fun doing crossfire. i do think hillary's very formidable, very smart, she works very, very hard. and no one should underestimate how serious of a candidate she would be. >> please come back on the show soon. >> look forward to it. when we come back, clinton, the next generation. i will ask her if she will follow in her mother and father's footsteps. th care. but with unitedhealthcare, i get information on quality rated doctors, treatment options and estimates for how much i'll pay. that helps me, and my guys, make better decisions. i don't like guesses with my business, and definitely not with our health. innovations that work for you. that's health in numbers. unitedhealthcare. just by talking to a helmet. it grabbed the patient's record before we even picked him up. it found out the doctor we needed was at st. anne's. wiggle your toes.
