e-mail us. mike: back with former aide to john edwards. the book they have written is called the politician and all of the studio audience members will be getting their own copy of the book. i will sign them if they want me to. mike: great. during this time, you watched your husband go through some amazing things and one of the things was that john edwards called upon him to claim that the baby was your husband s, not that of john edwards. i mean was there a point at which you said are you kidding me? oh, yes, when riel showed up at our door i thought that was the last straw. when asked andrew and we were in the car that day, i actually said are you kidding me. we were going through the mcdonald s drive-thru. i said are you kidding me, how can he ask for one more thing. i thought we had done everything for that man beyond
extreme already. and it went further. and we agreed. mike: you were part of it and you ultimately agreed that okay, you will let your husband in essence take the fall, that is what it was about, to take the fall to claim he was the father of real hunter s baby, hoping that that would keep john edwards campaign alive. did you say at any point taking money for campaign donors and using it for anything other than the campaign could in fact be criminal? yes, i mean i had it researched every which way and we had people like fred baron and john edwards and people experienced with the campaign finance law. they didn t get it through the donations. they gave it as gifts. mike: unreported gifts, however? well, they reported within the tax they were reported. i mean these guys, as you know, when you get into presidential politics, when i first started
through what we have made it through. mike: i m not sure either. and we love each other more and realized that all that really matters is what it in our house. did i become cynical? yes. people asked if i would be involved again in politics? only if i was running the other correction. we doppler. and emotionally we were torn apart for a long time. just recently after the book came out we finally are building strength again so. mike: well, i think you have told the story in a very compelling way and again it surprised me that i actually enjoyed the book because i was determined to not like you. having been a person who trusted people and thought you betrayed him. he betrayed you but then you turned around and betrayed him. i think what you did in the book is you helped me to see that you weren t justifying what you did. you simply told me how it happened and how we need to protect ourselves from that. i felt the same way because
has acted as if israel is no longer our best friend. what kind of policy are we doing here just we are more concerned about bedrooms being built in jerusalem than bombs being built in tehran? isn t that amazing we are more concerned with thing going on in israel and housing projects than we are with iran s nuclear program. mike: doesn t that embolden the iranians? of course, it does. the united states is hosting this multination conference to talk about loose nuclear weapons and nuke materials. that is a good thing. supposedly what is happening in the corridors is that we will be talking to china and russia and brazil and other countries saying will you join us in crippling sanctions against iran to stop their nuclear program. well, iran is looking at that and if there are no crippling sanctions, it is yet again we have another round of wimpy sanctions, iran is saying green light, go for it. even general petraeus said in congressional testimony he was asked do you think iran will
