Jon Stewart Interviews President Bill Clinton: CGI U 2012 Closing Conversation 

Bill did it by selling out American manufacturing to CHINA

@@bademoxy , No, that was Nixon

What did he do that was awesome.

***** I heard he was also responsible for the near genocide in east timor and the scrapping of the glass - steagell act which resulted in the economic meltdown in 2008.

***** you are either crazy or a troll im not sure which #tohardtotell

***** I think you are confusing him with Frank Underwood.

***** I don't know whether any of this is true, I'd suggest if your strongest allegations were true he would be in jail or at very least untouched by the media. In any case it does not change any of the good things he might do (a good deed does not change a bad deed and vice versa). He seems to have a genuinely good will and excellent mind and I choose to judge him on the good actions that are very evident.

@@elimousseau4557 crime was going down when the bill was passed, he was the only person with the power of veto, and hundreds of thousands of families lives were truly ruined because of his inaction. apologies are too little too late.

As Clinton mentions, "selective memory" and the facts of the times. America was crazy right wing conservative during these times to the point were gay marriage may have been banned by constitutional amendment. Conservatives were "law and order" insane. The country has changed, he has changed, he did the best he could at the time. Every child must feel like they are valued. Easier said than done, consider a place like Afghanistan or how much Trump's mentality has set us back. Imho he is a genius and one of the best communicators this side of Lincoln. Who else is giving back to this extent. Btw, I've had my run-in's with the law. It's a crime and can make life and one's future very difficult. Something needs to change. Just saying, here's to a better future.

@@jamesrmore i understand the bill occurred in a certain political context. i think what you wrote constitutes apologism. everything occurs in a social climate. we can’t just forget what trauma this bill causes til today and not hold the lawmakers accountable accountable.

@@jamesrmore but yes heres to a better futthe :)

+TARIK HAMMODI wtf?

I too believe that ex-prisoners have rights to become an upstanding member of society, they have paid for their crime, I understand that they must be punished for their crimes but they also need to be rehabilitated too, xxx

too bad he was a major force behind the three strike policy and the massive over-policing of poor neighborhoods that put so many people in jail in the first place... wonder if he’ll ever take responsibility for that lmao

Fantastic to hear the stupidity and irony of your statement, praising a man speaking up for issues which he did so much to create

@@MyChannel773 I was shocked she mad1e this comment when he went so hard for the war on drugs. He supported the three strick rule that disproportionately black Americans to be in prison for life. I'm not a trump supporter but sheesh. He helped aid to let many out.

yeah, the motherfucker put a lot of them in jail. I voted for him twice ( the lesser of two evils and all that) but this asshole paved the road to get us where we are at right now, and a big reason for that fool orange berg trump.

Highly intelligent. But a great man? Jimmy Carter- that's a great man.

H Ev

Jen Gomes Too bad he's a criminal. All the presidents I lived through except Donald Trump did horrible things to this country. :(

Most of his "resources" are ill gotten gains, just like the bootlegging Kennedys, one day HillBilly will get their comeuppance, especially from all the murders committed

P

Too many people don't seem to realise that without having Bill as President, Trump would never have been possible. I realise most of this is a love fest for Mr. Bill. I am a Republican, so too a degree am steered by the computer to like voices, but on arrival against my first vote, "The Package Deal" came across as pretty awful

@@tomfrazier1103 that post I did was from 4 years ago -- since then, my eyes have been opened and don't have the same view of Bill as I used to lol. Totally forgot about that post!

30:07

Same.

Amen bro... Lort, he's a Rhodes Scholar... Shit!!! I'm sure that he made his administrations decisions strategically... BUT... He did a lot of damage... especially to POC... and he added to the horrid condition of our media situation... Reagan started it with the abolition of the FCC Fairness Doctrine.. but Clinton put the nail in the coffin with the Telecommunications Act of 1996... Thanks to these 2 policy changes... (interestingly one from GOP & one from DEM)... We have no reliability in our news sources... these 2 policy changes set us up for a perfect environment for... FAKE NEWS!!!!

HA, HA, HA!

My thoughts as well. In this case it's best not to take political sides. Every president is hindered by partisan gains. Possibly the measure of their failure or success is measured by what they do after their presidency. with a brilliant mind and empathy one can go a long way to make up for what they could not accomplish in office.

OMG you have no clue what is going on in the world. WOW! Might want to do some research on the Clintons.

Inspiring, hope versus fear. As individuals it's a choice, giving and acceptance versus taking and selfishness.

Look what you elected now

Me Veky both crooks.

@@elpeopuru3003 oh, fuck off

Oh this really hasn’t aged well
