This was great CGI. I could've sworn it was live-action.
Best President in my Life time....
Jon Stewart's name will most certainly be in the history books. What a great man, he's done so much for my generation (President Clintons' daughter's generation aswell).
What a great man. Jon Stewart posed some very intelligent questions and Clinton
was very clear and concise with his answers. Thank you Bill Clinton for staying in public life and using your resources, intelligence and heart to help the world when it needs it most. I only wish you were able to do a third term in office..what a different and much peaceful world we would be.
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!
These two men make me proud to be an American.
Same.
man, i miss clinton
Oh bill clinton you're so awesome, if anyone should have served more than 2 terms it was this guy
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.
Fantastic to hear a US president talking about the stupidity of separating ex-prisoners from society for ever.
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.
i could listen to bill clinton all day
"I hate to fail, especially when somebody else get's hurt. You just have to go on. You've got to figure out how you're going to keep score. If you're going to keep score in a way that if you ever lose, you've failed, then you shouldn't play. The only thing that matters is whether somebody's better of when you quit than when you started."

Like Mr. Stewart said at the beginning, very inspiring. Big respect for President Clinton!
Thank you.
the man is brilliant. absolutely brilliant.
Highly intelligent. But a great man?
Jimmy Carter- that's a great man.
He balanced the budget 4 times! Only once before in history had that happened before in history.
Bill did it by selling out American manufacturing to CHINA
@@bademoxy , No, that was Nixon
" your daughter set you free "
for many kids that grow up in abusive homes, or people who have suffered domestic abuse, having someone to love and provide a future for, transforms their lives more than any education, other relationship, or career. We should remember this, when helping young single mothers get a foothold into a decent life, as we help them get a roof over their heads and begin their lives - we should remember, and not resent the life line oir taxes give a damaged soul xxxx
I'm not sure why I watch the whole thing but dayum is Bill knowledgable.
They should make amendments to allow 3rd or even 4th terms for presidents that have done extremely well during their tenure.
two VERY intelligent men
HA, HA, HA!
Clinton really is inspiring. One of these people with an impressive social and public commitment, but a shady personal life. A person should be judged by his or her merits however, and right now he is creating a lot of good around the world. He is always very thoughtful, intellectual and shows a great practical experience in how to get things done.
H
Ev
yeah he's awesome, he won't say what you want to hear, he says the truth.
Jon Stewart is right, if he and comedy central is where the youth get their news? He thinks or is humbled by this hell I'm 50 and I use the daily show to guide my research of the news or what to look out for on fox because Jon is funnyer if you watch fox. Hell he is if you watch any station! Jon Stewart is our national treasure modern day Will Rodgers. Please Jon do not retire or quit what you do! We need you man. Besides this video proves Jon is a better journalist than anyone except Charlie Rs
The piece on childhood abuse was so powerful.....
President Clinton, you are soooooooooooooooooooo awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+TARIK HAMMODI wtf?
Exellent words by Bill and Jon always plays his part well with intelligence and satire. I voted for Bill twice and despite his faults, is still the best leader we've had in 50 years. It's good he's become a great philanthropist trying to help the youth the world over.
OMG you have no clue what is going on in the world. WOW! Might want to do some research on the Clintons.
Exactly. He's a genius.
Watching this in 2021…. Imagine somehow giving them a window to how things look these days.
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.
6:20 was rich considering the three strike policy
Yes they are friends - there is some hope for us yet. Good day.
You know you have arrived when a President is introducing you.
He was always a star; still is. Love Bill C! He never stops working!
He did so much damage... if he has a soul... He'll be working to correct his heinous acts... until his dying day... NO DOUBT...
"the only thing that matters is that someone is better off when you quit than started" Bill is such an inspiration!
Haha! I love your nickname for "W". I may use that one. Thanks for the laugh. And I have heard that Bush senior has a real friendhip with Clinton, which says a lot in my book. Peace.
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!!!!
preach it brother
hearing clinton talk about the ills of mass incarceration is mind melting like bro! you literally passed the crime bill
@@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 :)
2 of my favorite men
Agreed, although Carter is 88 and still going, and Clinton is 65 (I think) and more active than ever. Still, the point is well taken.
Good discussion
The guy at 45mins was the best, well said.
I watched Jon interview President Clinton on the Daily Show last night (here in UK). He's still got it. Such an impressive politician, he shows just how pathetic the current crop are. If I were American the two terms and you're out policy would piss me right off!
Clinton!!!! I LOVE YOU MAN!!!
HUGE influence!
My new top hero!
I will put what I put somewhere else for this quote--reagan was 77 when he left the white house so he wasn't exactly young and as I recall he got diagnosed with alzheimers almost instantly (I have never not know him assciated wth alzheimers.
Omg, he's wearing a tan suit, how dare he? Lol
I feel better living on this planet knowing Bill Clinton is alive, working...a brilliant, compassionate man.
Just wanted to mention that Carter had nothing to do with the founding of HFH. He was instrumental in getting it more well known and for improving its capabilities, but he had no part in its founding.
And also, why compare them with such vitriol? They are two people doing good things. They're teammates, not competitors
I love America and all Americans.
19:59 - Dignity
wow what a great story about mandela, pure inspiration
And anyone who lies to a federal grand jury usually goes to prison. That's a FELONY. This isn't just about lying. It's about committing a crime.
Anybody else worried that the aspect ratio would be 4:3 from the opening monologue?
Imagine sculpturing a big bunny two of them one for the right then the left side then making it too a rocking chair.
Long Live Indian American Friendship And Mutual Understanding.
Best comment ever.
Trust me, if you have lived as close to Grand Rapids, Michigan as I have for the past 40 years, you would know. He was only 11 years older than Jimmy Carter and didn't have any serious health problems until he was about 90 (2003). And he was healthy enough in 1980 to seriously consider another run for President. Not to say he was a bad man - he wasn't. I just don't think his dedication to national service quite lives up to Carter and Clinton.
J Stewart Lebowitz just kicks ass at any television presentation he is involved with. My hero mentor champion. Bill Maher too, both these guys are awesome
Uggghh, Bill Maher? Really...??
These chairs seem so uncomfortable. Love Bill Clinton!
Me Veky both crooks.
@@elpeopuru3003 oh, fuck off
well said!
Bill's one of a kind. Only if more politicians cared as much as he did.
preach!!
Reagan had an excuse - he was ill (though he did manage a few speaking tours to make a few million). However, Ford was alive and healthy for a long time after he left office.
much they have accomplished and yet I see them both talk on video clips about the joy of grandchildren and I think (obviously) they didn't have kids at 18 and 21 so they could easily have gotten into their 60's before grandbabies came but that could easily be around the corner so I am shocked he is still working is what I am saying. Knowing that he is the age that Bush was I can see bush's lack of business and respect it. I can't respect small bush who I feel (more or less) retired.
Age might have something to do with it - Carter & Clinton were in their 50s when they left office, whereas Ford & the Bushes were in their 60s and Reagan was approaching 80.
So having a institution "donate and collect money" is the same difference as traveling to a country and meeting a person and sitting in meetings and actually dealing with the issues?
People said things like that about other politicians when he was still in office.
I'm sure there will be some impressive politicians to follow
He did not use his middle name simply because he was ashamed of being Jewish. In fact, in just about every stand up I've ever seen him in, he talks about being Jewish all the time. He used Jon Stewart because 1. Easier to announce in small clubs starting out, and 2. He did not want association with his father's last name - who left his mom when he was young to be with his secretary. When he and his wife got married they legally changed it to Stewart.
lol i made a bong out of an apple too when my pipe fell and shattered a few months ago XD
Okay..Im talking about during presidencies.
I pray to Almighty God 🙏🙏 to bless everyone in the Global World based on Friendship, Mutual Understanding, Peaceful Coexistence,Non Violence And Justice For All.
Been caught downloadin'...
Actually, he's said that, but mostly he did not want association with his father's last name - whom left his mom when he was young to be with his secretary. When he and his wife got married they legally changed it to Stewart.
Not to mention that when I see carter still giving relately often right now, it just looks like a "old guy" is giving more than the guy in his 60s (bush)
After watching this entire hour and 23 minutes, the thing that popped into my head (in January 2021) was “Gaaahhhd dammit, Trump is such a fucking idiot.” Can you imagine him trying to answer any one of these questions competently?? Seriously. How that guy actually got elected president says a lot about the downfall of our education system.
Inspiring, hope versus fear. As individuals it's a choice, giving and acceptance versus taking and selfishness.
Look what you elected now
They don't make politician like that anymore.
Is True
30:48 sitting on an island bill?
Where is Monica Lewinsky?
He also saved our planet and knows more about global warming than all meteorologists and climatologists combined. Gore 2016.
Best prez is definitely Reagan. he beats the crap out of Soviet and made them fall apart
Wow, Jon, I had never seen this before and it's obvious to me that even though you were a perfect interviewer and direct in your questioning, this man managed to direct his answers so "globally" far from anything you asked him, he sounded believable. Some sort of professionalism at it's glory. But I did notice he was squirming in his seat, even though I don't think anyone else did. Did I detect that you really wanted to strangle him rather than get any answers at all? Just an observation. But I could be wrong, I'm only a single observer.
I understand - this was just one comment in a long thread.
Yep.
those two..they can rip people apart in debates
It's probably as noble as he can get. Especially since he likely still has no real idea how badly he did mess up. If he did, I think he would be dedicating himself to make amends and perhaps rehabilitate himself in the eyes of the world. However, this fits his pattern - try something, fail dismally and run away. His "military service", his failed oil business, and his Presidency - all dismal. His Governorship was no too terrible, so I guess he had to take that next step...
Yea basically i dont really care if they are actually there as long as they are putting their money in a good place
You do realize that all politicians (including republicans, libertarians, etc.) give speeches that someone finds moving. That's why they voted for them.
Disagree with their policies or political stances, but not liking someone as a politician because they give speeches is like hating a boxer because he throws jabs. They all do it.
RoomMonitor is right, and I'd like to add to his comment a simple question directed towards you: Would you've wanted Mitt Romney in office? Seriously think about it, just for two or three minutes: Romney.
Thank you. So well said. Some people are just a little "special" you know??
I think 2012 Clinton would beat 2007 Obama
I was saying it's completely insane. You're agreeing with me, believe it or not.
I like how you go out of your way to say that Stewart is not his real Jewish name. I don't know to what conspiracy theory this trivial fact points to, but I'm sure it's fascinating.
My comment was not about their Presidencies, but about the dedication to public service, and character displayed by the actions AFTER leaving office. Carter has been a fine example of this. Reagan made no attempt, but he was old and ill, so I give him a pass. Ford did little, though he had almost 25 healthy years after office. The senior Bush has done a bit (almost all in cooperation with Clinton initiatives) and George jr. has done very little and most of that was, again through or with Clinton
it is impossible for jon to seat on a chair first
I was only old enough to be a schoolager post Reagan years and barely have enough recognized awareness of the world (I was in post 2nd grade approximately post reagan years and even I know thaT!
One question do people actually know the meaning of impeach? I was talking to a friend the other day an he said we should impeach Obama and replace him with mitt. People don't really know the meaning of impeachment.
Oh this really hasn’t aged well
I think that is ingrained in people from media. I know I lived through both clinton and bush 1 and now obama. people just respected clinton from the get go and from the get go bush 1 was "a funny guy who couldn't talk worth a lick"
1:07 someone forgot to nail the podium down...
Very astute observation. However, I must point out that the first Bush has been quite active with Clinton in his global initiatives, at least until his health became an issue. As far as your urging people to think-many people don't want to do this-it's much easier to be spoon fed crap by Faux News. Peace.
AS KEN WILBER WOULD SAY THIS IS HEALTHY GREEN, MAYBE EVEN INTEGRAL THINKERS!!!!
My two favorite people
Man, I love Bill Clinton. Wish he could come back another term.
I think I made the troll angry. Have a good day =)
That scared the fuck out of me when Bill Clinton reached outside of the video @ 0:01:12
Or you could just get rid of lobbying. I wonder which is the more serious solution.
