generation of politics who has tried to do a major overhaul. in 93 and 94, democrats got full control. hillary clinton was deputized to lead the health care reform effort. they didn t get it through. a big public backlash. no small reason why republicans got the congress in 94. 2009, 2010, democrats did get it through. now republicans have full control. now they re trying to do an overhaul. health care is one of those complicated, sensitive issues to voters. the idea of a political party touching it in a traumatic way unnerves people and the politics almost automatically work against the party that s trying to do it. that s on top of all the other things structurally that are already working against trump and the republicans. this just becomes another burden they ll have to bear in 2018. do you have any sense that
trump that s when he does listen. the question in this white house with the president of the united states, should not the president be listening to his other key advisers just as intently as his own daughter? of course he should. and it s very problematic when you have a family member who is also a member of the staff. i worked in the clinton white house and as you ll recall early on hillary clinton was essentially a very prominent member of the white house staff. she was running the health care reform effort. she testified on capitol hill. it was known as hillary care. and when that failed, that was difficult because she wasn t going anywhere. you can t fire the first lady so it is really problematic when your closest advisers are people that cannot and will not be removed. no matter what. we have to continue to learn from the articles written as well as those who are telling us who are giving us the leaks basically at this moment in terms of what s happening at the white house.
but historian anthony said there s a recent and more relevant example of this. the most relevant parallel here between ivanka trump having an official office in the west wing and having an official title is actually to the example in early 1993 of first lady hillary rodham clinton being given a west wing office and being tasked with heading president clinton s health care reform effort. so as karl anthony just said they re very similar. west wing office not accepting the salary. a lot of people are upset because ivanka does not have government experience. she s just a business woman whereas hillary was a government servant. something that is actually unprecedented here is that both ivanka and her husband both have official roles within the government. that s the first time that s ever happened. there have been three first daughters married to government
pivotal role in her father s presidency. she was very important in the last years of president roosevelt s presidency. she started traveling when her father could not or her father would choose her instead, for examp example, many the conference to yalta. john eisenhower also and he did accept a salary. there s an even more recent and relevant example. let s take a listen. the most relevant parallel here between ivanka trump having an official office in west wing and having an official title is actually to the example in early 1993 of first lady hillary rodham clinton being given a west wing office and being tasked with heading president clinton s health care reform
going to be their plan. it s not fully agreed on between the white house and congress. but they are going to go for is rotten in the brace. that s what they ve been pushing on is that the president has talked about. they have to come to an agreement amongst themselves. unlike the health care reform effort, the president will take for the lead on that because it is really something is more adept at dealing with than health care reform. arthel: okay, well we will see. i have to leave it there because if i talk to you more camino will keep going and i m told route of time. we will talk next time, susan ferrechio. eric. eric: we keep kicking off the top terrace. taking out a top leader whose behind the 2000 attack on that hotel in pakistan that killed dozens of people, including two american servicemen.
