President Bill Clinton Explains Why the Filibuster Needs to End 

This man who was president almost 30 years ago is younger than the current president, and the previous one, thats crazy.

It's designed specifically to stop them doing their jobs. It should go, even if we find it useful ourselves now and then.

Bill looks like he's doing pretty good these days.

Yinz remember that time McConnell filibustered his own bill? Next-level insanity.

Republican Presidential candidates have won at least 50% of the popular vote in only 2 of the past 9 Presidential Elections, and yet thanks to the Electoral College Republicans have been elected in 4 of the past 9 elections, as well as have put 15 of the past 19 Justices on the Supreme Court. Furthermore, in most swing states Democratic House and Senate candidates combined tend to get more votes then Republican 1s, and yet thanks to gerrymandering and restrictive voting measures those same swing states tend to have more Republicans elected to the House and Senate. Finally, in the Senate both political parties love to bring up the filibuster when it's convenient for them yet there is no filibuster in the House mainly because having it would hold back most legislation voted on. Long story short, our current system of Democracy doesn't work and won't work unless we abolish the Electoral College, enact term limits on the House, Senate, and Courts like we do for the President and most Governors, have a nonpartisan organization divide up districts and ensure everyone who eligible to vote can do so by mail or a nearby voting place, and abolish the filibuster in the Senate and just have a simple majority rule to pass every legislation there!

Bill Clinton just needs to go away already.

Bill’s still got it!

Clinton sounds a lot better than the last few times I've seen him talk. Maybe I caught him on "bad days" before.

Ask him about Epstein

I wonder if James Patterson stopped wearing whole socks at the same time he stopped writing whole books.

The poorest county in America is Wheeler County, Georgia. Guess which party runs this county.

Amazing that Clinton was able to balance the budget and have a surplus as President. He’s right though, it’s not a time for that. We need bold action

The Filibuster needs to go 🔥🔥

Bill Clinton has always been very likable. I wonder why Hillary doesn’t take lessons from him. She has so much potential. She just sounds and talks like she just wants to tell you whst you want to hear instead of what she thinks.

Can we talk about how awful Kyrsten Sinema is? Supporting the filibuster. She's unbelievable.

Well if even old Bill is speaking of the utility of big government and deficit spending, you know the Seventh Party System has begun.

I’m glad to see BC. I’d been thinking about him. He looks and sounds really good! Cool he’s been writing a book. 🥰

Filibuster keeps the status quo, which is what the oligarchs want.

Can I really be agreeing with Slick Willie? Yep, suspend the filibuster!

Exactly Bill is right 💯 Before we entered the 21st century and when Bill left office 20 years ago in 2001 he made sure the Budget was at a High but when we Dealt with the 2008 recession that messed the economy up it was a problem for a lot of Americans and when the 2020 pandemic hit it was far worse, worse then the ‘08 recession.

If something that was once useful begins to threaten the very system that created it, it is time to get rid of it. Right?

FDR to Biden believe in Keynesian economics. Governments have a role to play in times of crisis. Small government could never happen either. By for and of the people by definition makes it necessary to have many voices versus Small Government - power in the hands of a few. Local governments are trying to shrink representation any way they can. Mostly by conservatives.

So refreshing!

This guy Bill is pretty charismatic, he should consider running for president…

DONT FORGET BILL CLINTON WAS ON THE MOST FLIGHT LOGS WITH JEFFERY EPSTEIN

Thank you President Clinton for sharing your insights

I think Seth needs to explain why he's filibusting the Sea Captain!!

Love Bill and James!

What's up with James's socks?

President Clinton How We Miss You And President Obama Both.

They should keep the filibuster but you only get one or 2 per year. Then they still get the power for outrageous things but be careful, you don't want to use them up!

If John mulaney was on set that day and had an interaction with bill Clinton

Seth, that was a SUPER ungraceful transition in conversation - from a very thoughtful statement about the filibuster to talking about a fictional dog? Yikes.

😑😞 Hm, I can expect Seth to have Andrew Cuomo, Woody Allen, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, and others of such calibre as his future guests - either in-person or remotely/virtually (normally I back his decisions regarding the finely-written show, but here...)

Hypocrites

Why does Bill get a pass? This is odd as heck

President Bill Clinton is on another level when he speaks. He has the ability to explain complicated things in detail but in a manner that most people can understand. President Obama was similar in that regard. Two great presidents.

Я удивляюсь, что в 74 года можно ещё выглядеть так молодо для своего возраста. И это без ботокса, и пластических операций. Смотри Вова, и восхищайся, как выглядит естественная человеческая красота без ботокса и пластики!

Slick Willie! 😎

I miss hearing educated people have real discussions.

Never happier than when this man was President.

I did not like Bill as a president very much though he was better than the alternative. I've got to say he's been growing on me over the years. Maybe it's wisdom settling in.

I’ve always considered the filibuster a political tool that can be used to help support a good cause as well as a bad one.

Post- Presidential accomplishments: *Carter: builds houses for the poor. *Bush: paints pictures. *Clinton: wrote books. "president" trump: might actually read a book one day. (If it has lots of pictures in it and is about him evicting poor people.)

Agreed.

I would love to get Clinton’s opinion of White House internships and cool uses for cigars

He said "suspend" the filibuster? What does that mean?

Being has a tendency to 'return' to clusters ='the nature of solidarity' -a desire for empathy -(Wave)-(yin) and also, Being has a tendency to 'exist' as individuals ='the nature of self-expension' -a desire for breed-(Particle)-(Yang) Likewise, humans have two elements. We must realize that we all have both left and right elements =Solidarity and Self reliance No one has only one element. so 'Sum' derived from 'two poles' , (thesis, antithesis, synthesis) To develop intellect and ethics by harmonizing the two, It is good to realize it and balance it properly But A few people polarized the crowd(political partisanship) without balancing themselves. And They stole only the sum, only the synthesis from the triangle composition. Now We all have to get out of this deceptive situation. This is not the time for us to hate each other. We have to track down those who have been manipulating us.

Bill always looks older than I thought lmao

Bill Clinton as Attorney General

Is slick back to repeal some more banking laws? Its not like those decisions didn't massively contribute to the realeastate collapse, releasing them from not doing the b.s. that caused the first great depression.

🧡

cooo coo

it's a litter of St. Bernard puppies and they are stolen by... ZE CHERMANS

Seth looks the type that is after an invite to the Lolita express

Hmmm. I'll be...

How many times have Dems used a Filibuster tactic?? If so did they debate or just do it as a complete block move??

I misread that as saying “Bill Clinton explains why the Filibuster needs to exist” (or some variant of that).

filibuster does not need end, y'all do not understand meaning of minority vote.

Is kyrsten sinema begging to be voted out? Arizona is far from a red state.

nice :3

Well it's good to know that President Clinton agrees with me on the filibuster! 🙂

Maybe Bill could also explain his connection to Epstein.

He’s just so…. Creepy… clinton is one gross dude

It’s gross that these hosts are having Bill Clinton on. I like Seth and I know it probably isn’t his call but god damn, Clinton is a creep.

Why you don't screw around

Did Clinton praise Manchin🤔

Nobody asked him why there is a picture of him at epsteins estate with a dress

Multiple rape accusations and Epstein buddy, but sure, bring him onto late night. Fucking hell, Seth. Sometimes having a moral backbone means not booking a past president.

Two things Bill: - This constant appeasement of Joe Manchin is bullshit and needs to stop. Joe needs to get on board with his party or quit using his constituents as an excuse for why he's constantly tonguing Mitch McConnell's asshole. - I guess this point is really more for Seth, but since he's enjoyed making jokes in the past about Jeffrey Epstein on his show, why not ask one of Epstein's besties about the controversy. Ya know, especially since he's been implicated with Epstein in some of his crimes.

I was not politically conscious when he was president but damn he’s smooth

Bill Clinton!! Amazing 🙌🏻

His owned by the Rockefellers

Seth im going to make the assumption that there are many different people you could have brought on the show to talk with about this that aren’t rapists. i thought you and your team were better than this.

Okay let

Like asking a criminal why police need to be defunded.

🦅🇺🇸

I always listen to Bill Clinton when I need a lesson about politics.

He should be run again to be a president.

Fred Newman

Who is that guy?

Billy gonna talk about being a 'frequent flyer' to Epstein's "Fantasy Island"?

BILLFriend EPSTHEIN

Epstein and Clinton

I wonder if Sethy got a stain on his blue dress back in the green room after the interview...

Monica

Can't stand this man or his wife but he's correct here.

Don’t take advice from a man who leaves sleek Staines on his assistants dress and his wife just Blatantly ignore it. 👍

The president is going places? Uggg. Awkward.

part of me likes the filibuster cause it can keep us from going back and forth on bills every time a new party is in control. i would at least want to see a filibuster have to actually filibuster into the wee hours vs. just claiming to filibuster. but the moment the tables are turned and dems filibuster to keep gqp from pushing bills thru, the gqp will somehow end it.

Who cares what this washed up has been says.

Bill Clinton, at one-time a frequent flyer on Jeffrey Epstein's plane ("Lolita Express")

Explain Clintons comment from Clinton about Manchin and voting for Trump 2 to 1 please.at (3:08)

Epstein

This would have been a great opportunity to ask Bill about his multiple trips on Jeffrey's sex plane to sex Island.

The bill cosby of politics

Creepy William

Use me as the dislike button

Epstein's bestie Bill

No longer watching this show. Stop platforming Clinton in all forms
