0 welcome do our viewers in the united states and around the world. the most powerful woman in america or around the world. hillary rodham clinton. a plan for 2016 and what she told a friend about monica lewinsky. i'll talk to the authors of the new blockbuster book that reveals a secret to the woman who just may be on her way back to the white house. >> live long and prosper. leonard nimoy is here with a message, even if you quit smoking years ago. and too bad they don't give out gold medals for busting down doors, johnny quinn would definitely be in the league. so far he's broken down a bathroom door and fought his way out of an elevator in sochi. he'll be here live. and boy george is in the house. his songs were the soundtrack of the '80s. he talked about quitting drugs, finding happiness i want to begin with our big story. new revelations about former first lady and secretary of state hillary clinton, she's the author of a new book. welcome to both of you. >> hi, pierce. >> let's talk -- >> i'm studying greek from over the weekend. let's talk about hillary clinton. the book is very starkly covered. there's a picture of a woman looking very presidential under the headline hrc. it's a big substantial book for the revelations. what to you is the key revelation you would like to communicate to the outside world which defines this woman, hillary clinton? >> i think the key revelation is that -- is really in total, the book -- this is a book about how she would govern, how she makes decisions. it's a book about who she surrounds herself with, and the way loyalty ties to that. and sometimes the inability to choose between loyalty and confidence. for those who are trying to make a judgment about hillary clinton going into 2016, should she run? i think most people think she will, had is something they should read the whole thing, not just those exciting little nuggets. >> i think it's also -- >> i mean. >> i think it's -- well, let me ask you, amy, about the line i like. which is the enemy's list, it plays into the sense that the clintons are very much them or us organization. in the sense that if you're with them, fantastic, they'll be tremendously loyal to you. if you're an enemy, you've got to be crushed. now, i suppose -- am i surprised they take john kerry or claire mccaskill, given that they were effectively opposition to them? >> it's pretty common for politicians to have these kinds of lists. the thing about the clintons is that they have the power to reward and punish, more than any other politician in modern history, i think that's most important about them. i think we tell the story about how they do look forward with this list, it's not just -- this list was done in 2008 but it can be applied in 2016, it was applied in 2010, 2012. they look forward, but they look back con stan thely as part of their narrative. >> there's one congressman in particular. we tell the story of how he had been seen betraying hillary clinton's task force, he wouldn't give her his endorsement, it infuriated the clintons, bill clinton in particular, saw him at a fund-raiser and staired him down, a year later, saw him at a funeral and stared him down. he talked to jason altmire saying, if you don't have loyalty in politics, what do you have? ultimately in 2012, jason altmire had a democratic primary, he was seemingly going to cruise to re-election, and bill clinton in the last couple weeks, endorsed altmire's opponent, flipped what was happening on the ground and all of a sudden jason altmire was in the private sector. he's not the only one, there's a whole series of congress men -- >> hang on, here's what the clinton spokesman said about -- the idea that we keep -- not to mention update, circulate, disseminate and rely on it, is ludicrous. we kept track of who was for it. the clintons have always found their way -- there's a big difference between the kind of anecdote you just relayed and say what's gone on in new jersey with governor christie's staff, where they have been directly hurting the electorate in new jersey in a fit of peak revenge. season the that. >> exactly. i think that's the dichotomy here, what we've seen with chris christie, he punished, he was meant to punish the public. this was not the case, this was just -- they were keeping track of who was with them, and who was against them, they're punishing politicians, it's a lot different, it's not a life or death matter. >> let's move to hillary clinton, is there so much -- hillary said about monica lewinsky, in fact, she's a narcissistic looney toon. it seems like the kind of thing only a british person would say. >> let me jump -- let me correct. i quote the papers from friends -- hillary clinton referred to monica lewinsky as a narcissistic looney toon. do americans say things like narcissistic looney toon? >> well educated ones do. that word you just used is too long and involved for me, narcissistic. hillary clinton, one of the stories we tell in the book, spent the night at buckingham palace for a state dinner with the queen, and she came out, told her aides afterwards she felt like a fairy tale princess. you would think it would be hard to wow hillary clinton these days, but she was impressed by the majesty of the palace. >> let me ask you, the point about the monica lewinsky point, i guess people like -- you know, rand paul and others -- we try to ramp up the sense, when hillary clinton runs, people will be talking about bill because of what happened 16 years ago. do you think it matters, do people care about monica lewinsky enough to punish hillary at the ballot box because of something bill did nearly two decades ago? >> i don't think it platters. when people go to the poles, they're going to look for what she did. if you want to weigh what she did at state, you should read this book and find out, it is how she makes decisions. it's interesting, you bring up bill clinton. i think that, you know, if he can be the bill clinton that he was in 2012, she's going to do very well. she's going to really ride this out and -- they're strategy will be something akin to what barack obama did. which was to use him at public events and not so much talk to the press, which is kind of a weakness for him, he'd rather be talking to the people rather than the press. i think if they do that, that's one strategy they use, they're going to use him to go out and do these big events and use him as the explainer in chief as president obama calls him. >> he's fantastic -- he was back for barack obama in the last election campaign. i mean, that brilliant speech at the conference, basically articulated far better than barack obama had done. what he was trying to achieve and what he hadn't achieved. isn't he in the end the midas touch that every candidate would like to have. and the fact that hillary's married to him and they have the brilliant daughter, they're the whole package. they're incredibly impressive, very hard to beat. >> there are a lot of politicians in the world who are very jealous of bill clinton's natural charm. i thought in that convention speech in 2012, he brilliantly talked about arithmetic, we talk about this in the book a little bit, to get across the basic idea that mitt romney's plans didn't add up according to him, and it was so much more devastating for romney than anything obama had said. >> amy, let me ask you this, i would have put good money at the time on hillary clinton beating barack obama, and she lost. >> sure. >> so you got a woman who has tried before to run and got beaten and people were surprised by that. so she's not unbeatable. when you did this book, when you finished it, what do you think of the key negatives that you discovered against hillary clinton that people may think about and latch on to when they vote. >> we tell the story, you know what she did in 2008. she took her aides aside and close friends and invited them to her home and office and said, tell me what i did wrong. let's talk about it. at the end she had pieced together this mosaic of what she did wrong. we talk about that in the book. in 2016 you're going to see her embrace the fact that she's a woman candidate a little more, which is something she didn't do in 2008, she heard from aides that in was an arrogance at the top. you're going to hear more of that from her. she's going to get some truth tellers, you're going to see a different ball game when it comes to technology, she really learned her lesson, she felt like barack obama ran circles around her campaign, you're going to see a lot more of that. she applied it at state which is something we talk about in the book, i think you're going to see that in the 2016 campaign as well. >> jonathan, the wall street journal, jonathan karl reviewed you book, and said you have appeared to have fallen in love with your subject. how do you plead? >> not guilty. >> i think you're -- >> not falling in love. tell me about this, one of the more interesting parts in there is where you talk about a relationship between obama and hillary clinton, seems to have ended up pretty good. one of the reasons for that is she supported him pretty wholeheartedly on key moments, the surge and -- in afghanistan, the killing of bin laden and others, where joe biden, who mayock be a contender to go against the democratic nomination, he didn't. so how significant could that be when it comes to determining who actually gets the democratic nomination. >> i think it's pretty significant. you know, we point out in the book, that she doesn't have many marquis achievements. she didn't achieve like a big peace deal or something, but she did back the president on these key points like the bin laden raid and the afghanistan surge. she's going to talk about that a little more, where as biden was on the other side, he was a bit more of a dove. i think that plays to her strengths a little bit, she has a bias for action, and she's decisive and knows what she wants to do. i think that will play well for her in a campaign. >> there's also -- they played differently at the democratic primary, where being a dove would be a good thing. maybe better in the general election than the primary. >> it's a fascinating book, it's called hrc. a riveting read about the woman who may become america's first female president. jonathan allen and amy barnes, thanks for joining me. best of luck with the book. >> thank you, piers. go arsenal. >> go gunners, absolutely. the olympic athlete who never met a door he couldn't bust open. he's here live from sochi, if he's escaped. ♪ [ male announcer ] this man has an accomplished research and analytical group at his disposal. ♪ but even more impressive is how he puts it to work for his clients. ♪ morning. morning. thanks for meeting so early. oh, it's not a big deal at all. come on in.

>> we were going to dinner, we were on the fifth floor going down to the first floor, i was with my pilot and two mechanics that work on the sleds. as we got to the first floor, the elevator door opened quickly and shut very hard immediately. fortunately everybody had their phones as you can tell by the pictures. people heard what was going on so immediately assistance was right there, and we got out of the elevator in a timely manner. kind of a funny scenario to happen shortly there afterthe bathroom door. >> are you always this accident prone? >> no, i think it's an unfortunate situation in both scenarios, now that everybody's safe, the door's been fixed, the elevator's been fixed. it's something to laugh about. >> you're asking -- how are you making sure you don't get trapped again? >> our four man events is one of the last events of the olympic games. we're excited for that competition to get in here, in the meantime, my teammates are giving me a hard time, it's kind of neat to still go to the venues, watch team usa cheer on the athletes and see them win medals, is that adding a lot of fuel to our fire. you can make sure on race day i'll shower with the door open and probably take the stairs. >> when i saw the opening ceremonies, you all looked happy to be coming out. your outfits were a bit of a psychedelic string? >> as a first time olympian, i was excited to put on our ralph lauren gear, and be part of opening ceremonies, walking through opening ceremonies, being a small part of the 230 athlete delegation to represent the united states of america was an unbelievable experience that words can't put into proportion what it was like, for me personally, i enjoyed the gear, it was fantastic walking in opening ceremonies, it's a memory i'll have with me for the rest of my life. >> very understated. very american. >> let's talk seriously about the competition. i interviewed one of your competitors, wing ston walk of the jamaican bobsled team. he's confident. he's come for medals, he told me. are you worried about the jamaicans? >> they're a talented group. and it's exciting to see how much coverage we're getting. looking at the field of competition usa won piloted by steve holcomb. they're going to be tough. the russians are going to be phenomenal. the gernlens, canadians, latvia, it's going to be a fantastic competition for four men. i tell you what works. we're excited for the challenge. >> johnny, you always have a future for the next harry hugh duneny. i think he could be in for some medal on sunday. i wish you the best. thanks for joining me. >> i appreciate it, thank you for having me on. >> johnny quinn, good to see him skate and alive and well. when we come back, leonard nimoy joins me exclusively with a story. anybody have occasional constipation, diarrhea, gas, bloating?
