Clinton tells the story of a president who rose from a broken childhood in Arkansas to become one of the most successful politicians in modern American history and one of the most complex and conflicted characters to ever stride across the public stage. From draft dodging to the Dayton Accords, from Monica Lewinsky to a balanced budget, the presidency of William Jefferson Clinton veered between sordid scandal and grand achievement. Clinton had a career full of accomplishment and rife with scandal, a marriage that would make history and create controversy, and a presidency that would define the crucial and transformative period between the fall of the Berlin Wall and 9/11.
A four-hour film, part of the critically acclaimed series of presidential biographies, Clinton follows the president across his two terms as he confronted some of the key forces that would shape the future, including partisan political warfare and domestic and international terrorism, and as he struggled with uneven success to define the role of American power in a post-Cold War world. Most memorably, it explores how Clinton’s conflicted character made history, even as it enraged his enemies and confounded his friends.
Man the 90s were amazing.
The thing I always admired about Bill is that (aside from his slimey personal life issues) he always had an answer to every question. I really mean it. So many times, politicians don’t directly answer the questions they’re asked and they stick to rhetoric. But Bill never seemed caught off guard, it’s like he’s an expert at just about everything. Exceptionally intelligent individual.
He was a trained lawyer. He taught LAW at a University of Arkansas. He has a high IQ, like 160. He is a crafty lawyer liar. That is the trouble with Bill Clinton is so many people believe him. He designed and engineered the donor owned plutocracy we have today. He dismantled every last New Deal law that saved and preserved this nation since the 30s. About the only law he did not get repealed was the FLSA of 1938. Type that into your search start investigating your political beliefs instead of just believing crafty liars. This has nothing to do with the GOP or Democratic parties. It has everything to do with who owns the GOP and Democratic parties. We have not had a representative form of Democracy since 1996. Since 1996, we have a donor owned plutocracy. No other President did more to help the robber baron billionaires to take over our entire Federal government than Bill Clinton. He made millions, about $150 million into his Clinton Foundation by doing what the billionaires wanted. If we can not stop this insanity of this donor owned plutocracy, we will fail as a nation. It is totally unsustainable.
In 1998 bill clinton came to Birmingham (uk) for the G8 summit. Me and my mate went to the swallow hotel where he was staying and stood outside with the press, when he arrived in his presidential limo, he got out and I shouted “bill” he looked and waved at me. Then maybe 10 minutes later, two of his security dressed exactly like men in black asked us where was the best place to get something to eat locally. We walked them onto broad street and told them brannigans at the end of the street but they went into McDonald’s 😂 I was 13 at the time, looking back it was the most surreal 15 mins of my life I think.
Is the the Timex Ironman watch he's wearing? I had one of those?
Learn from the past. Understand what happened, then we ( together) make America better, for our future. LEARN
Yeah. Let's make America like Africa
You from Hawaii?
He is both bad and good mixture
He made personal mistake in life
But record level of economic prosperity in america he bring 21 century bridge of both ideological revolution american way of life
I had the biggest crush on Bill Clinton. I graduated from h.s. and cast my first ever ballot for him. I loved that he made "back to work" training programs available & balanced our budget. I will DEFINITELY be tuning in to Smoky Hills PBS for this tonight!💗
@@xshxr Heartbroken, for sure
Bill Clinton is available to you now.but he likes big breast woman.are you?
@@lynx7631 It wasn't just about Monica Lewinsky.
@@xshxr It wasn't just about Monica Lewinsky.
@@xshxr Clintons, Bushes, Bidens are in bed with one another! It's a big club and you ain't in it!
Where can I get the soundtrack?
Underrated…
He was flawed. He was charismatic. He was brilliant. I think the record of his accomplishments in 8 years nevertheless need to be acknowledged. Too bad he had a weakness for women, even sometimes tacky women. Oh well, I've probably some beliefs some would judge
Watch Clinton Body Count. That was always the best one.
did he just say "an heroic"
When people show you who they are believe them the first time
I don’t care about the affair they were grown but he was a damn good president and he put the country on a good track
on a great track. We were on top of the world when he was our leader.
They tried over and over to find something criminal on him and came up with nothing, so they attacked his personal life.
@@bobblueford that’s all they could do . It’s funny considering trump was in office and the republicans let him get away with all kinds of illegal acts
@@bobbluefordsounds pretty familiar huh?
President Clinton made mistakes, but overall he was an ok or good President, I guess. He was still very young at the time, but I remember we still enjoyed freedoms, entrepreneurship spirit and equality of opportunities societies. Economy was growing good and most Americans were happy too at the time. Also he could communicate with his Democrat Party and Republican Party which wasn’t his Party by accepting better policies from the President Reagan and President Bush’s great leadership experiences. No one can be perfect and this is why I think he is an ok or good President Clinton.
Agree...great politician, maybe the best in my lifetime so far, and he wasn't even close to being a 'leftie', center-right dem, I'd say, so he got a lot of stuff done because of that. For sure, one of the better presidents this century MO.
Democratic Party.
Your right wing deplorable humans are crooks and criminals.
President and Madam President Clinton Won The Popular Votes by Landslides in 1992, 1996, 2000, 2008 and 2016.
Ronald Trickle Down reagan had no leadership. Reagan destroyed the U.S. with being crooked and a criminal.
The Democratic Party.
Greatest political leader of the last 50 years.
He’s a rapist
How many affairs he had and where cover up?
This radical prank head was initialy made from sketch of my father head, but in approximately 1995 criminals separatists talking heads of Shainurovi and Lukini from Perm orginised kidnaping of me and made attempt to make a tromb in my head. They order this crime by making movie Leon, after that the criminal from their band who looked like Leon injured my head. I do not know what he got for this crime, but Clinton face started to look like his in a way after this. I do not know who can stop these separatists criminal talking heads band Lukini Shainurovi from Perm from continuing sketching their band heads in politics. ..
I was in high school
Bill Clinton kinda looks like Elvis Presley
Hilary’s problem was Bill.

He was definitely a talented politician and a big part of why the 90s were as great as they were.
He benefited a lot from events and developments he had nothing to do with -- the fall of the Soviet Union and communism before he took office, the growth of the internet and attendant economic promise, etc. But he also did his part. He was able to work with a Congress controlled by the opposing party to enact legislation intended on spurring economic growth. Plus, he did quite a bit to try resolving long-running international tensions, such as in Ireland and Israel/Palestine.
If only he didn't have a thing for heavyset women...
Or the underage ones.
One of the great presidents of my lifetime. Fighting agenst things like aids, helping build everything Ronald destroyed, and pulled the nation into the 21st century all while the world wanted to know his personal business with his secretary.
Kelsey Bain - nostalgia has a way of glossing over inconvenient truths. I voted for Bill Clinton when he first ran. Yet for historical context, you might want to understand how Reagan’s economic policies paved the way for investments in technology and productivity that paid off tremendously during Clinton’s term. Ironically, the Democrats most successful president of the last 60 years would be chased out of the party today.
He was a great politician but his tendency to attack the character of his critics rather than address the criticism is the direct ancestor of the cancel culture and campus stifling of contrary opinions we see today.
I would recommend reading a book called “The Survivor” by John Harris. It chronicles the Bill Clinton Presidency and I think it is very fair (not hostile or too praiseworthy of the man). But one of the point it makes is early into his presidency his economic plan depended on the stock market booming and speculators. Apparently even Bill Clinton was irritated by how much his economic plan depended on one set of people and circumstances happening.
There are a lot of reasonable objections against Bill Clinton, but unfortunately in today's media age they are heavily swamped by played up or totally fabricated Bullshit allegations. Imagine JFK's legacy if these social media dweebs and conspiracy theorists tried to expose his infidelity at every turn as if that had anything to do with the content of his job.
It’s not personal when it happens in the Oval Office.
@@lisapearson460 why? You have to remember, this was also there home
😶
Hau toa la chu noi / khong hau toa la chu chim
You can see in his eyes that he was deeply apologetic for what he did ! You can not see now days people who belongs to that kinda of highly power status held accountable themselves honestly .
Had he ever apologized for brutally raping Juanita Broadrick? Didn’t think so . Every Clinton is a POS.
That's nothing I have to be a better man meanwhile back at the ranch she in the 7 year gap actually got married and now tragically widowed I'm confused if I should of saw that or not. Always the man's fault yeah right who you trying to kid. But someone to grow old with and very good at taking care. Its only sex at the end of the day and I'm not saint myself. Sawadee 🤠

He was the best President ever. If only he could have had more terms. Thank you Bill!
I wish!
He was a monster. A real psychopath. A pathological liar. A rapist. That’s right, a real physical rapist. Several times.
@@stevenyourke7901 no. That's Trump. Clinton was the best President ever. The fact that Republicans love to smear him shows that he was so good. He's a threat to them. He banned assault rifles! And the Republicans let it expire. Every gun death after the ban expired is on the Republicans and their voters.
@@eowawrzkiewicz Best president ever?! I think you must be very young. Bill Clinton marked the end of the Democratic Party as the party of working people. He transformed it into another Republican Party and even pushed through Republican Party programs like NAFTA, the federal crime bill that’s tripled the prison population, he abolished the federal welfare programs like aid to families with dependent children. He illegally bombed Serbia in 1999. He completely betrayed working Americans and helped pave the way for Trump. Plus he was a serial rapist. He even helped the CIA import cocaine into the USA when he was governor of Arkansas. Clinton was a monster and his wife is even worse!
@@stevenyourke7901 you're describing Trump. Clinton was the best president ever. A true patriot. An educated smart man. An effective politician who lead the US to the top of its power. He was not a rapist, he was a sexy man who loved women and who was loved by women. People who say he was a rapist are jealous because a, they couldn't be with him and/or c they weren't as loved by women and successful with women as he was.
This video has not to do with me,us I know, my persecutes used any kind of video, but this was curiousity,but I have no regrets.
I set up a part for GOD, racist profit of human beings dont distort my name,trough the video
Can someone remove the video, has nothing to do with me,
I have no regrets, no addiction,.
The only addiction it's the presence of GOD
@@isamendez6077 And no fun.
Never be another Clinton
Happy Birthday 🎈
Record low unemployment. Balance the budget. Reformed social welfare. The guy rebuilt what Reagan and Bush destroyed for twelve years.
BS
@@jeshkam it's true, though.
He’s the only democrat I’ve ever voted for because he was good for this country!! Unlike in 2020, shame on them for the last 4 dealing with such a manipulation/hypocrisy and flat out lies from the left !! His wife, on the other hand, is a rogue beast !!
Housing market crash and nafta agreement that killed millions of American jobs.
@@stevengriffith436 Don't forget repeal of Glass-Steagall.
The country and economy were at their best during the Clinton presidency. First time I was old enough to vote.
He was only sorry he got caught!
PBS,... wow you NEVER disappoint. many questions asked here. best one; how many times? by dee dee / DD whatever Myers. answer = ask Kathleen Wiley's husband, once his campaign treasurer / finance manager.
This is a Democrat?
And Republicans. And a man a smile azz Man look a king Davidson the Bible he killed Uriah for bath Sheba and was @ 🤴never removed from office a m@n after Gods own heart ❤️
He did his job. even though he had an affair with someone, he was the best president in our life.
He was a sexual predator who regularly flew on Epstein's private plane.
No, he wasn't.
@@jeshkam Who?
“He got down & hugged her & cried” nigga I can do that! Did he get & pay for her medicine tho? 😂
He will always be known as the President after Bush
And certainly one of the best in the last 40 years.
Yes, I guess since Bush was #41 and Clinton was #42, he will always and correctly be known as the president after Bush.
@@civlyzed Both are corporatist imperialist war criminals beholden to the globalist class!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@waterfalls__ Both are corporatist imperialist war criminals beholden to the globalist class!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He will forever be known as the president in between the Bush🤣
#41 Sr #42 Clinton #43 Jr
Our Hero 🇦🇱🇽🇰🇺🇲
He was one of the Best of Us, Semper FI!
Once a criminal, always a criminal… Evil… “What is the meaning of is?”….The ultimate parasite…
It is shame, mister Clinton! Why you did that? When millions young women struggling with man addictions in all world! And You have daughter....
I'm glad....he believes, N HOPE
In retrospect, I wish i would have never voted for Bill or Hillery!
Why?
@@slicktheslicksterHell I regret voting for Obama.
I regret ever voting for anyone. Every one of them was bad in one way or another, just didn't measure up. @@Sandman2007
I wish I never voted for anyone, never did me any good.
This separatists talking heads band from Perm who skeches them as politics must be in jail for making from people separatists talking heads
A good blog of a thief and a liar....and his wife is a different story....
Him and his heartless tart are guilty of many many crimes and i find it disgraceful this vid is trying to paint him in a different light.
You lie.
@@johnbland8088an assault weapons ban, injustice in incarceration, NAFTA, the path to the housing crisis. That enough?
5:01 Kennedy also had affairs........and King Charles. History is full of sinners and yes we should hold them accountable!
If not for his infidelity he would have been recognised as one of the greatest U.S. presidents in history.
He did beautiful things gs to our country. America needs him back.
He IS recognized as one of the greatest U.S. presidents. Highest approval rating of any exiting president since recorded data.
We can't condemn him for infidelity because we all are responsible for that in our personal lives in some way. Either we committed ourselves or protected and continued to love someone in our family who did it. None of us are perfect.
@@bobbluefordPresidents are expected to lead. Lead by example is the best kind.
I did not!! have a.. sexual relationship with that woman..
::::The 42nd president of the United States.
Horrible political dynasty.
He sold out the working class with NAFTA! I voted for him because I could not vote for the Republicans. Bernie Sanders is the real deal.
Bernie would never get anything done as Prez; he'd be fighting elements within his own party AND the Republicans. He's best as an outsider MO.
It's a lot more complicated than that. Mexican farmers got a raw deal with NAFTA, but it largely benefited domestic manufacturing and the US economy at large. The manufacturing job losses suffered in the 2000s could be attributed to cuts in job training programs Clinton pushed through in the 90s.
@@slicktheslicksterBernie sold out anyway. Not so socialist anymore.
Yep, NAFTA says a lot, I used to support Bernie, I would vote for Satin before I would ever vote for a Clinton again. Now that I finally understand that socialism is basically communism, I can not stand with those values. I believe that each individual should have their own personal rights and that nobody can come and take that persons private or personal property away from them and give it to groups of others, that is wrong. The Clintons are supporters behind the Great Reset. I was not shocked when I found out. The horrible track record will come out even further. The Epstein files will shed sunlight on some of the most horrific crimes of our time. What you should worry about the most is the great reset. You thought NAFTA was bad? WAIT TILL YOU SEE THE GREAT RESET. It is so big and horrible it is almost hard to wrap your head around it. I can't believe I ever supported the Clintons.
We forgave bill

Is Hildebeast ever going to admit Webb Hubbell is Chelsea’s biological father?
I still can't get my head around Hillary doing the deed with one man- Bill- much less hitting the sheets with another. It seems unlikely. IMO, the Clintons planned to have one child of either gender to complete a presidential portrait of blissful wholesomeness (I just threw up a little in my mouth) and, in a darkened room where neither would see the other, got to work.
