I'm 62 years old, lived through the Reagan years, and the Clinton years. You want to talk about the best years in our economy? When Clinton was president. No question.
he raises a point no Democrat dares to voice: If a woman is going to become president in America… a conservative, Republican woman has a better chance.
@@nickbarcheck1019 thats the point...she is/was middle of the road liberal. the left moved the goal post ssooo far to the left, that it makes her look like a republican now, although she and many other crrent republicans never changed their stance...its not our fault that the current left moved the line way out of bounds to the left side that it makes us middle of the road dems look like republicans.
When I read that Bill Clinton said it’s easier for a conservative woman to become President, I immediately thought of Margaret Thatcher, and as it turns out, it was also what’s on the former President’s mind.
Angela Merkel is a pretty good example, too. She took over as leader of the Christian Democratic Union in my home country Germany in 2000 and went on to become the first female Chancellor of Germany on 22 November 2005.
I don't. Elder care took over my life. A dreadful time for me. I didn't vote for him in 1996 because of " Don't Ask, Don't Tell". He caved on the issue. 🙄
What surprised me most was that Bill is younger than all of his successors (Bush, Biden, and Trump), except Obama. This is very impressive for a president who was elected 32 years ago (1992).
The Cold War was over. We were on the only superpower. Any President would reign over a great economy, it wasn't because of him. He also, yknow, deregulated our banking industry which allowed the 2008 financial crisis to happen.
Yeah when you are the lone superpower and control the world’s currency I would say things should be good. However both of those things are coming to an end.
I was born 5 months after his first inauguration. My childhood was iconic thanks to the great economy he created (he was the last POTUS to leave us with a national surplus, let that sink in) and his encouragement of the 'tech boom' to get us computers in schools, etc. Guy was a great POTUS and has my infinite respect.
I was born during Clinton’s presidency. Now, in my 20s, I lean more to the right but I 100% would’ve voted for Bill. I’ve watched many of the archives on the clintonlibrary42 youtube channel. It’s amazing how much politics has changed on both sides in the last 25 years.
Actually any candidate would've worked with Congress because at the time there was a public mandate to rectify the budget situation.It was a huge issue. Back before open borders and men using women's bathrooms was the most important thing to them.
Both Biden and Harris Are very moderate. I don't know where you folks get your info from, but Biden's first declaration as president was "I will work with Republicans". And he kept many of Trump's policies intact. Harris' DNC featured mostly moderate liberals, some conservatives and almost no left-wingers. AOC was bashed by the left-wing for "becoming a corporate dem". There were also some Israelis, but no Palestinians.
I went to a Clinton rally back in 1996 when he was running for re-election, and I actually shook his hand because he actually like waded out into the crowd in the midst of all the people, allowing himself to get swamped. He just kept saying “Children first, let the kids through first….” And since I was an 11-year old boy way was made and I got to go up to him and grasp his hand. I actually vividly recall the texture of his hand - it was totally smooth and totally dry, like the exact opposite of a sweaty hand. I’d go so far as to say it felt like a little like the texture of a snake’s skin.
I had the same experience at an air base in California. I was 6 years old and I still remember him insisting on shaking my hand to this day. I’ll never forget it.
I was 12 years old in 1996. Clinton’s first election to the White House in 1992 was the first election I ever followed. It got me interested in American presidents, government and politics.
One of the most affable public figures ever to come along, sometimes to his own and other’s detriment, but still a monumental mover of people’s best side.
I lived in Arkansas during his administration, nobody I met while living there had one good thing to say about the Clinton’s and many people who knew them told me that they couldn’t believe that Americans voted for him as president for his FIRST 😮term much less a second one.
He pivoted quite a bit in his second term and the country gained from it. The GOP House kept him in line and he was savvy enough to adopt much of their agenda as his own.
It was devastating for the working class. Clinton gave the middle finger to the working class. That’s when the Democratic Party became a neoliberal corporate party that represented Wall Street.
Yes, NAFTA terrible, he pushed for it even though 65% of Americans were against it. Glass-Stegal Act was the other big blunder. Those two things negatively affected us terribly, years after he left office.
Honestly, the Clinton years were the hardest, yet happiest moments in my lifetime. There wasn’t this polarizing division. No hate, no disrespect. Everyone lived the way they wanted without being judged. Then again, there wasn’t social media so people didn’t post their private lives on screen for the world to see.
It's amazing how many people can't stand to see people who try to do good for others and overcome past mistakes. At the same time, they make all kinds of justifications to cheer for folks lying, cheating, and stealing from them right now. They focus on those who are all talk, instead of observing if they walk the walk.
Bill Clinton is/was not morally upright. If you're going to make a statement like that, you should be really careful to verify that you are on the side of the angels.
No they both were having a good time . They got caught up in the moment. She sounded like she was in love with him if you listen to the Linda Trip tapes.
Clinton is 2 months younger than Trump. Donald born on June 14, 1946, Bill born on August 19, 1946. This segment shows that he has actually been involved in improving people's lives.
Trump only cares about whatever will improve HIS situation. Mind boggling how the blue collar, working, middle/lower class American thinks Trump actually gives a darn about THEIR situation.... insanity.
Great interview. As usual, Bill Clinton is inspiring in ways that are very much in line with former president Jimmy Carter. I admire them both, and with my life and deeds I hope to be an example for those who are ready. Thank you, Tracy Smith!
He may have gone, but I wonder about your count (26) Where you part of the parties? But, also, Trump flew with Epstein many many times. Sorry, I did not keep the score.
What surprised me most was that Bill is younger than all of his successors (Bush, Biden, and Trump), except Obama. This is very impressive for a president who was elected 32 years ago (1992).
As a Conservative Republican who never would have voted for Stimulus Bill, I will say this. Clinton DID NOT CREATE the economy of the 1990's, he did however take what Reagan and Bush Sr did and add his own touches to the economy such as the balanced budget. He was very judicious with the economy and surrounded himself with really good economists. On the social issues, I would never agree with him, but he was not a radical at all. He is 100% correct about the election being a reaction largely to the leftward shift of the Democratic party going woke. Clinton did a lot of bad things, like destroying a pharmaceutical facility in Sudan before his affair went to the Grand Jury, committing perjury, being disbarred, witness tampering and obstruction of justice. But he is one smart cookie and if he had just told the truth about his little side hustle and apologized, history would be far kinder to him.
Then how is history going to judge lying, cheating, fake-news making, hate-spewing, dictator-loving orange Don, who is a convicted criminal, and serial abuser of women.
Clinton took over economy in recession with a 8% unemployment rate. The economy wasn't doing well, wages were stagnant and debt and deficits exploded over the 12 years under Reagan and Bush. He done well with congress to provide structural reform and fiscal policy to help create a great economy and balance the budget
Democrats Africa policies was catastrophic they did dirty business with criminal gangs they supported and today Africa is led by a bunch of dictators illiterate most by their endorsement! The educated Africans are running away chased by illiterate guys that democrats endorse ! But that Americans do not know it really ! This never changed and went even worse under Obama ! Democrats forgot their principles ! Trump won with everyone upset in the country 🤷🏿♀️

Bill Clinton is such a classy man. He is always speaking with positivity and does not speak with harm or any negativity about others. So kind and good hearted. 🌈 He, Hillary and Chelsea are just a wonderful family.
I finally have to conclude, after watching all the Presidents since Nixon, voters like the person first, issues not even on the list. We like our leaders to be entertaining and tall. Thats all.
Probably the most gifted politician in my lifetime. Plus he was a great president. I'm thankful I was a teenager in the 90s. It was a great time to be alive in America.
@@deedled4879 yes he might have been "morally corrupt" but what we have now is a President who was found guilty of big crimes and yet still got to run for reelection and won
I voted for Clinton twice. Always appreciated his optimism & gregarious personality. He is also VERY intelligent. Glad he's still "in the game" with us. A wise, empathic, gracious leader. -- Agree it would probably be easier to elect a Republican woman, rather than Democrat.
Though it would be a challenge. Republican candidates always have the tougher road and have to go through extra hurdles to win. Plus, they don't have CA or NY going for them and never will.
@finchborat Kamala & Hilary were impeccably qualified & inspiring leaders with bold visions & character... more so than many of their male counterparts that ran. Instead, America picked this depraved, self-centered, greedy, misogynistic man with dubious leadership & business prowess... twice!
Voted for Clinton as my first a few weeks after my 18th birthday. He is a brilliant person and gifted politician no doubt. I’ll always listen to any advice he has.
His wrongs seem so small comparatively speaking, not justifying them at all, but we have been so shell shocked since those days.....Those were some of the best days of my lifetime.
God bless you President Bill Clinton you were a president of the people. .. you never used race as a divider you used it as a uniter. Oh to have a president like you again❤
@@Edge439 no...hillary lost because she was not a good politician. kamala lost because she was a DEI hire and she is outright and blatantly incompetent...no more, no less.
Whats the logic behind never having had a female president run the greatest country in the world.

Because legal ramifications of Epstein's actions continue to unfold through various civil lawsuits and investigations. Clinton may be many things, but he's not an idiot.
@@MaryJaneGozales don’t get it twisted, I vote blue. The three strike rule for crime led the mass incarceration of many black Americans and the current immigration crisis was due to laws Clinton signed into law
@@Vbooker50 Hardly at all, Bill had sexual relations with an intern inside the oval office while being in charge. That's different then say some one in their private life doing something "similar".
Yes, president Clinton was impeached, but not removed from office and the process and procedures of impeachment was so impecable and clear, not like the one of Trump who was covered up as a mafia boss by Republicans. A real covered up.
Because Reagan scrapped all the silly Dimocrat tax tables that LBJ and FDR foisted on us. I often tell younger people that upper middle folks paid 60% tax in 1976 and they don't believe it. I doubt many of todays mega-rich celebrities and athletes would vote Dim if they paid 90% to Uncle Sam.
@Lisa-vh3nh Not only NAFTA but also the 1996 deregulating of the commercial radio stations that allowed all the conglomerates to to buy out groups of three, four, five, six and seven local radio stations, as in Clear Channel Communications, now known in the 2020s as iHeart radio, it made for so many more corporatized and blander and seemingly lifeless music formats, as an example the classic rock format in certain towns will play the same 700 and 800 songs almost in some sort of perpetuity, Clinton started all that will the signing of the law that deregulated all those stations.
People forget that he also laid the foundation for the subprime mortgage crisis and student loan issues. June 5, 1995--Listening to his homeownership speech and now knowing the results, it's quite telling how much he played many of us.
@@jimgeo1000I don’t understand why the Party hasn’t jumped on this argument already. Trump will make a mess again these next 4 years, and a Democrat will have to come in and clean it all up much to the ire of a largely ignorant American voter base.
Not a fan of Hillary, not a fan of Biden or Kamala and I’m definitely a Trump voter but I don’t know why but I love Bill Clinton. He seems like a genuine dude politics or not. I don’t care who you support but Bill Clinton is awesome
Crazy to think he’s damn near the same age as Biden and Trump but left office 20+ years ago. One of the best to hold the office but like many had his faults, personally and politically… would take ‘92 Clinton over what we have now in a heartbeat.
The Democrats better shake It off and reform instead of pointing fingers and blaming or they're going to find themselves in the worst position in 2 years, they've already lost everything... And their problems haven't even started yet..
@@Hofftimusprime1I’m 63 and the government has little to do with the natural ups and downs of the economy. We should spend less than we bring in. Clinton is the only president since before Reagan yo actually pay down the debt. There are times spending more is in order but only for a finite time. Trump will f thing up much worse than the republicans usually do. The false claim republicans are fiscally conservative is hysterical!!!
If you listen to this closely you have to realize that Hillary’s primary loss to President Obama in 2008 was the important loss more so than the loss to Trump.
2008 Hillary would have been a better President than Obama. Obama was too cocky and immature to lead the post-bush yeats, which was arguably one of the most consequential transitional period for America.

Probably the most gifted politician in my lifetime. Plus he was a great president. I'm thankful I was a teenager in the 90s. It was a great time to be alive in America.
Me too. I was 11 when he was first sworn in and spent 8 years with him as president. Very cool
I agree. But...he was severely morally compromised.

@@deedled4879 yes he might have been "morally corrupt" but what we have now is a President who was found guilty of big crimes and yet still got to run for reelection and won
Hes another Jimmy Carter

He's the best president this country ever had and in my life. I was a few weeks away from 10 years old when he got elected.
I voted for Clinton twice. Always appreciated his optimism & gregarious personality. He is also VERY intelligent. Glad he's still "in the game" with us. A wise, empathic, gracious leader. -- Agree it would probably be easier to elect a Republican woman, rather than Democrat.
Though it would be a challenge. Republican candidates always have the tougher road and have to go through extra hurdles to win. Plus, they don't have CA or NY going for them and never will.
@finchborat Kamala & Hilary were impeccably qualified & inspiring leaders with bold visions & character... more so than many of their male counterparts that ran. Instead, America picked this depraved, self-centered, greedy, misogynistic man with dubious leadership & business prowess... twice!
Great interview
Crazy that Trump, W. Bush, and Clinton are the same age 😮
Sex, drugs and alcohol.
Voted for Clinton as my first a few weeks after my 18th birthday. He is a brilliant person and gifted politician no doubt. I’ll always listen to any advice he has.
My first vote at 18 was for Clinton as well 😊
Boy does he have you fooled
@@sarabishop Not at all.
Sorry, that wasn't meant for you. My apologies 🙂
@@samsca8529 Fooled how?
People can hate on Bill Clinton all they want. But what's done is done. Bill Clinton may not have been a perfect President, but he is a good man!!!
"A good man"?
I would say, he may not have been a perfect man, but he was a good President.
He's still a nice guy too
quite the opposite actually, flawed as a man but as close to perfect a president couldve gotten
He was a smart politician, but not a good man at all.
His wrongs seem so small comparatively speaking, not justifying them at all, but we have been so shell shocked since those days.....Those were some of the best days of my lifetime.
Lmao there's no comparison to his crimes, they're The worst

God bless you President Bill Clinton you were a president of the people. .. you never used race as a divider you used it as a uniter. Oh to have a president like you again❤
What’s the obsession with having a woman president.
Maybe because it's never happened before???
Because that’s why Hillary and Kamala lost
@@Edge439 no...hillary lost because she was not a good politician. kamala lost because she was a DEI hire and she is outright and blatantly incompetent...no more, no less.
Whats the logic behind never having had a female president run the greatest country in the world. Women run entire households when men run away like children not wanting to be held accountable for their actions & fear of responsibility it would be nice to see what a fully capable & competent woman can in the worlds most powerful position as our president.
@@Edge439Hillary yes, Kamala no...
Why didn't ya'll ask him about Epstein????
Because legal ramifications of Epstein's actions continue to unfold through various civil lawsuits and investigations. Clinton may be many things, but he's not an idiot.
Why don't you ask Trump about Epstein? Nobody cares about things like this anymore. Not Epstein, not SA.
Bill and Donny both.
Ebstein himself said he and Trump were best friends while he was in the Whitehouse.
@@carlgray523but banned Epstein in 2001 from maralago , and has been near him since
Thanks for all you did, Bill!
I truly believe he was the most overall and ferociously intelligent president of the last 50-60 years. Don’t let the drawl fool you hehe
Bill Clinton will always be my favorite President.
He ruined this country

The President of my generation THE BEST !
Wasn't he impeached?
Yes, but not removed.
Just like Trump
@@Vbooker50 Hardly at all, Bill had sexual relations with an intern inside the oval office while being in charge. That's different then say some one in their private life doing something "similar".
It was blown out of proportion. 😂😂
Yes, president Clinton was impeached, but not removed from office and the process and procedures of impeachment was so impecable and clear, not like the one of Trump who was covered up as a mafia boss by Republicans. A real covered up.
I’ll say from a conservative perspective, I don’t agree with him on politics but I can’t personally deny that he is a sweet soft spoken man.
Anything from cbs has a taint about it 😢
Agreed. It like I’m not even watching reality
Love him despite all his shortcomings
I was born when Lyndon Johnson was President. Our country was healthiest and happy during the Clinton years.
Because Reagan scrapped all the silly Dimocrat tax tables that LBJ and FDR foisted on us. I often tell younger people that upper middle folks paid 60% tax in 1976 and they don't believe it. I doubt many of todays mega-rich celebrities and athletes would vote Dim if they paid 90% to Uncle Sam.
Do y’all understand how much damage this dude did to the country?
I do. He signed NAFTA probably the worst trade deal in our history. Many people that I know lost their jobs went they went overseas.
@Lisa-vh3nh Not only NAFTA but also the 1996 deregulating of the commercial radio stations that allowed all the conglomerates to to buy out groups of three, four, five, six and seven local radio stations, as in Clear Channel Communications, now known in the 2020s as iHeart radio, it made for so many more corporatized and blander and seemingly lifeless music formats, as an example the classic rock format in certain towns will play the same 700 and 800 songs almost in some sort of perpetuity, Clinton started all that will the signing of the law that deregulated all those stations.
His policy had more effect on causing the 2008 recession than Bush's.
@@gregpaspatis9425 You are right! I forgot about that.
People forget that he also laid the foundation for the subprime mortgage crisis and student loan issues. June 5, 1995--Listening to his homeownership speech and now knowing the results, it's quite telling how much he played many of us.
He’s so much more likable than crooked Hillary and loved his trump endorsement during the campaign!
Sure do miss him.
He is no citizen.
Bill Clinton STILL seems like such a chill dude. This is what you want from a president ❤
How I wish we could go back and live under his presidency again. He got the country in order and the economy going for everyone.
Just like Obama and Biden did too
Believe all women.
@@jimgeo1000I don’t understand why the Party hasn’t jumped on this argument already. Trump will make a mess again these next 4 years, and a Democrat will have to come in and clean it all up much to the ire of a largely ignorant American voter base.
@@jimgeo1000lmfao this is how I know you’re just lying. Saying Bidens economy is going well. Pathetic
People have a lot of nostalgia for the 90s for a reason. People from all sides of the political spectrum enjoyed his presidency
"We just lost the Superbowl, the World Series, and the NBA Finals, and I feel great!" ~Bill C.
Clinton was a great president. I will die on that hill.
Depends what economic class you were in.
Wow can’t believe he is of the same age as Trump, but he is looking so much older and much less energy
Really, Clinton's been that way the last several yrs.
Plus, along with Trump, Bush is the same age and he's doing well.
Not a fan of Hillary, not a fan of Biden or Kamala and I’m definitely a Trump voter but I don’t know why but I love Bill Clinton. He seems like a genuine dude politics or not. I don’t care who you support but Bill Clinton is awesome
Welcome Back from Epstein Island Mr. Clinton! They say you “like ‘em young! Is that right?”😂
I LOVVVVE BILL CLINTON my fav president!!
Crazy to think he’s damn near the same age as Biden and Trump but left office 20+ years ago. One of the best to hold the office but like many had his faults, personally and politically… would take ‘92 Clinton over what we have now in a heartbeat.
Its not about identity politics its about the silliness the Dems have become.
The Democrats better shake It off and reform instead of pointing fingers and blaming or they're going to find themselves in the worst position in 2 years, they've already lost everything... And their problems haven't even started yet..
Became a billionaire through his foundation. Disgusting.
Tracy Smith was running Channel One news in school TVs while Clinton was in office
Not one Epstein question…
Ask Trump too
@ CNN would’ve asked him if there was anything to suggest they should.
Ask Donald Trump that question 😂😂😂
Ummmm Trump ?
Your take on Trump's appointment of a pedophile for AG?
I thought that he’s with Michelle Pfeiffer😂
The last time we had a balanced budget and a fully funded government SMDH. He left the county in the black. We've been in the red ever since 🤬🙄.
The federal government shouldn’t be in the black.
Well a balanced budget lead to a recession. While it’s a grand ambition, cutting down and out the money supply kills the economy.
@@AcesAndNateslol you win the dumbest comment. You must live in debt.
@@Slowhand871 how do you think money is created with the fed? If you stop pushing people away, who are trying to help you, you might learn something.
@@Hofftimusprime1I’m 63 and the government has little to do with the natural ups and downs of the economy. We should spend less than we bring in. Clinton is the only president since before Reagan yo actually pay down the debt. There are times spending more is in order but only for a finite time.
Trump will f thing up much worse than the republicans usually do. The false claim republicans are fiscally conservative is hysterical!!!
If you listen to this closely you have to realize that Hillary’s primary loss to President Obama in 2008 was the important loss more so than the loss to Trump.
2008 Hillary would have been a better President than Obama. Obama was too cocky and immature to lead the post-bush yeats, which was arguably one of the most consequential transitional period for America.
Thank you citizn Cliinton
Lord, Bill is rounding up to 80 years old now.
