President Bill Clinton discusses his strong friendship with President George H. W. Bush, founder of Points of Light, and how President Bush asked him to preserve the Points of Light program.
Clinton was a sellout. He passed George HW bush and the Republicans NAFTA bill and fucked over many Americans in the process. The gram-leach-bliley act also allowed banks to steal from Americans as well.
@@alwillk Bush and Clinton were in the drug money laundering business in the 1980's. Bush groomed Clinton for president using Ross Perot as controlled opposition so that Clinton would win the 1992 election.
Shining example of how two people from the opposite ends of the political spectrum can respectfully disagree on policy but come together to help humanity.
@@rhisavbora2975 I hope and pray that we do. I was watching the media project Joe Biden as the winner and people were waving American flags. That gave me hope. As a Trump supporter I immediately felt relieved as the media had been telling me that all people that were liberal were communist. It's probably the same media that told all Biden supporters that Trump supporters are racist. I blame the media as they try to make everyone watch them for views. I'll be happy when people can get rid of their petty differences as love their country again. All politicians do some crooked things but I think we only hear about it because they are public figures. Some are worse than most but I will always love my country regardless of who runs it
@@commonsensesports998 i really will be happy if biden and trump supporters can get along..I never hated a Republican but i didn't appreciate trump because he never try to unite the county. I don't care about policies I want people to be united again..And to make our lives better we have to work hard..most people in both Republican and democratic party are corrupt anyway..I am glad if we could leave politics aside and be respectful to one another
@@rhisavbora2975 He did try to unite the country. Watch the speech he made after George Floyd died. He talked about people coming together. The reason I'm so upset is because the media tried to portray me as a racist and hateful because I voted Trump. I had family tell me I was worthless. What makes me happy is we both seem like reasonable people used by the system. The media might be the biggest enemy to the people. It's hard for me to forget how I've been treated these last few years. I've always worked hard and tried to respect everyone but a lot of people don't do that with me. Much love and may will all live peacefully soon, I hope!
we don't, because it is all an act. These people have no respect for real Americans. They are the Elite and 'above' us. The curtain has been pulled back from the act and now many real Americans see the hypocrisy and the deceit. We cant go back. We can only go forward.
As a conservative and as a Republican this brought a tear to my eyes. How wonderful was this. We've got to get back to this. Frankly, I can't see Trump ever giving this kind of speech about his predecessor. It would be marvelous if he did or could, but we can't wait for what may never come. I think we simply need to move beyond Trump and his administration and try to get our nation united again and both Republicans and Democrats need a resolve to do that.
The thing is Trump pointed out a lot of things we were all unaware of I for one am more aware because Trump..The media as well as social media has been leading us down a path where we very well could of ended up like Nazi Germany..Think about it !!!!!...
+L Jones Men like Dick Cheney, G H W Bush sr have done just as great things as Jesus. Im glad I lived to experience it! Trump was a chicken who didnt dare to invade IRAN! God bless these great divine men who dared to pull the trigger!
As a liberal and democrat I couldn’t agree more. The extremes of both left and right are so drastic that we forget to appreciate the value of speaking to rational people who disagree with us. For example, I would have been proud to call John McCain my president and had no issues with the overwhelming majority of his supporters in 2008
Love how at 1:22, Clinton asked GW Bush to preserve AmeriCorps as he did as I happy to be a two term AmeriCorps alum which I am deeply grateful for, was highly rewarding and gave me two education scholarships that knocked out half of my graduate tuition.
Well whoopee damn do,.....one day, you might learn the gross misdeeds these two traitors have committed against Americans. Bush ordering the assassination attempt of Ronald Reagan, and Clinton ordering the death of his own Commerce Secretary, Ron Brown.....along with over 200 other unsolved murders.
@@maarshalkernick6276 Yes,...unfortunately,...it's true.....Bush also ordered the murders of John Lennon and Bob Marley (Marley's cancer was induced by way of a bio weapon)
Bill Clinton haters can say what they want, but the man showed a lot of class in honoring George Bush time and time again after their Presidential Election in 1992. I was a Junior in high school at that time, and after Bill Clinton started gaining traction in the polls after his Democratic nomination, George Bush pulled off the gloves and played the character card in desperation. The last few months of the campaign became pretty personal. Many wouldnt forgive that, but Bill Clinton did, and he deserves credit for that.
I'm an American and I wholeheartedly agree!! We are exhausted, concerned and surely my country can do better---and I'm not referring to political parties but of personal character. I hope the Aussies don't give up on us. Stay safe friend.
In Finland and like in most of the countries in Europa, people think just the same, Ithink. We´re following whats happening there and are concerded and a bit scary . Please return this normal and intelligent politics. Only way is to vote although it would be dangerous because of this corona virus. And remember, no leader in Europa don´t even think to call COVID as Chinavirus. it could have occurred in any country in the world. So ridiculous and impolite.Main thing is how to manage with it. Stay safe.
@@riittakeskikuru442 Thank you for sharing your concerns. I agree with you. I spent many years in Europe as a student and then as a business professional--so much amazing history and many wonderful memories---I always felt a special relationship with the people in the countries I visited where I was so welcomed and enjoyed many wonderful festivals, meals and local custom events which I loved! Please don't give up on America yet. Thanks, again, friend! :)
@Rick Gross yeah, its a China virus just like the 1918 flu is the USA Flu as it came form Kansas - it definitely wasn't from Spain. So C-19 came form China ..so what ? You may be surprised to know that many people outside the USA see the moronic politics of no-nothing trump and the intervention of your crass American culture and political interference as being worse and far more damaging than any viral pandemic.
It is comforting to hear these kinds of past speeches again (with a new sense of meaning and gratitude). Also the eulogy of George W. for his father. I believe and hope we can get back to this time for all of our sakes and the future generations.
You mean, the time when the Left (Democrats and Media) constantly attacked George H and called him all kinds of nasty things--as they consistently did all Republican Presidents? The difference now is that we have a man (pun intended) in the White House who will not turn the other cheek. If Libs want peace now, they have to start acting like adults and stop being cry-babies.
Pretty nice to listen to this in 2020. Such a sense of decency and respect between these three. And I love George W's eyes at 1:22. Not the most popular president, but he sure seems like a likeable guy.
Decency and respect... Yet, if you are not too young you will remember when the Left (Democrats and Media) constantly attacked George H and called him all kinds of nasty things--as they consistently did all Republican Presidents.
@@EuSeiT I respect what you are saying. I think much of the media is left-leaning and should endeavour to provide a more neutral viewpoint, like the CBC in Canada and the BBC in the UK. But the right-leaning media is guilty too. As an example, why did so many Fox journalists refer to a presidential candidate as Sleepy Joe? I'm not defending Biden here, I'm just saying that name calling is completely inappropriate for journalists. In short, I experience all US television media as overly biased. In my opinion, it seems that the media is harder on Republicans because there are more left-leaning networks. But they are all guilty (not of fake news but) of overfly-biased news. If they all raised the bar when it comes to neutrality, the country would be much less divided.
I never really cared for Bill Clinton, but I remember this speech and I changed my mind. Where has all the civility in our politics gone? Power has corrupted it and it will be hard to bring us back to the way it was.
I remember Clinton's first inauguration speech in 1993. It was quite hopeful and inspiring. Concerning the issues that were facing America, resulting from the LA Riots, but also the post-Cold War world. I didn't vote, but likely would have voted on him, concerning his optimism, high energy and spirit.
Wow, this needs to be seen far more than it has.... I may not agree with the politics, but the humility is a great inspiration. Thank you to the uploader, and to Mr Clinton.
President Clinton was a Great and Strong Leader with a Great Heart. He was also an Amazing Man that had or has Great Intellect. America needs more American Presidents like President Clinton and President Obama.
True,but after the Presidencies of both it has become a partisan nightmare. Big problem is when a New president comes in they always say" we look to the future and not the past". Problem is there is usually so much lingering nepotism,corruption from the preceeding Administration, that makes it all but impossible to start with a clean slate.
@@mcdonaldchristian8273 What? Nixon, Cheney and Rumsfeld made AMERICA GREAT! The betrayal, the stabbing in the back of the Bush administration and Nixon are
Sounds like you are honoring these two traitors to America. Bush co-organized the assassination on J.F.K.,...and later ordered the assassination attempt on Ronald Reagan. Bush also ordered the murders of John Lennon and Bob Marley.
How would you know ? The media got trump wrong from the onset.How sad for him...There are countless people who Trump helped but the media never reported it so keep your head in the sand where it belongs...
I always admire Presidents of The United States of America 🇺🇸 with the likes of Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton whom can capitalise an audience attention when they speak not only about politics but matters of every day life. Simply beautiful. 🎉
The respect to each other, above all past arguments, is truly remarkable for the best of our country that made a living history for generations to come.

Because the Carters aren't corrupt like the rest of them. It was Bush who intentionally destroyed Jimmy Carter's chance at re-election. Carter was the only decent president out of the bunch.
@@dr.miguelitoloveless9478 I agree with that. Carter also helps build homes for the poor, he literally in his 90s builds homes from scratch, not just throws money and says he does good. Carter is a great man, just in the presidency at the wrong time.
Yet, there was a time when George H was called all kinds of nasty things--as are all Republican Presidents. The difference now is that we have a man (pun intended) in the White House who will not turn the other cheek. If Libs want peace now, they have to start acting like adults and stop being cry-babies.
The founding fathers pledged to each other their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor. This is a plea to every parent who is a United States citizen. Please try to raise your children so, when they are grown, they will will hold their honor so sacred that they will have some to pledge to such a cause.
Then you forgot how the Left (Democrats and Media) constantly attacked George H and called him all kinds of nasty things--as they consistently did all Republican Presidents.

At least he pulled out of Iraq before destabilizing the entire Middle East Arguably last American major military engagement where we inarguably were the winners

You are either too young or "forgot" how the Left (Democrats and Media) constantly attacked George H and called him all kinds of nasty things--as they consistently did all Republican Presidents.

It doesnt matter if your a Republican or democrat, if they treat you with respect that's what's important. Unlike the one we have now,that doesnt respect anyone .
Pardon me, but you must be very young, because the Left (Democrats and Media) constantly attacked George H and called him all kinds of nasty things--as they consistently did all Republican Presidents.

I truly appreciated them both alot and this is coming from my heart! I only choose to see the good and not the bad! I am very much an optimistic person. They both are very positive people! But the people who have a negative outlook on these former presidents...then that's your opinion!
@@ultramagapimpernel7992 PROOF!!!! What you're spouting is conjecture and innuendoes. I'm not saying that they might have not have done it. They very well could have but Bill Clinton a rapist that is a stretch.

Yet, George H was vilified and called him all kinds of nasty things when in office--as they consistently did all Republican Presidents. The difference now is that we have a man (pun intended) in the White House who will not turn the other cheek nor compromise.

I would agree with President Clinton about the wasting of Energy in not only the fight that occurs in Campaigning with each other ,but the Vicious Childish mud throwing before the Nation's Eye's so we can decide whether one mud slinger did a better job of degrading than the other
Or, determined by whether or not one candidate did a better job at steering clear of the energy wasted in mudslinging, and chose to take the high road of integrity, respect, diplomacy, humility and civility, in both discourse & behaviour, cognizant of the honor that defines the office of President. Seems like a long, distant memory, yet it has only been 2 years.
Well, you better buckle-up if Trump is still in office for the 2020 run because he will take mud slinging to epic proportions. Most immature, narcissistic, schoolyard brats do that.
