Appearances

SmartLess

"3 Presidents"

1018.153

First of all, you guys are exactly right. Joe's got... an unbelievable record of accomplishment. If you had told me that the unemployment rate after COVID was gonna be back down to 4% or lower, Lowest in 50 years, isn't it? Absolutely. And if you had told me that 15 million jobs would have been created, that wages are higher now than they were pre-pandemic.

SmartLess

"3 Presidents"

1048.975

That's unbelievable. In this four-year period. You've got African-American unemployment, right, which is always higher than the general population, the lowest it's been. since record-keeping on the issue was taken. So Joe's got a strong message to tell. Jason, you're right. The media environment's changed.

SmartLess

"3 Presidents"

1071.787

During Bill's presidency, during my presidency, you already had Fox and Rush Limbaugh and so forth, but it was still going through basic broadcast TV, and the average person was still kind of getting the mix. Some dissenting views. Part of what happened is that whole ecosystem moved on to social media.

SmartLess

"3 Presidents"

1093.974

And once it's on social media and it's on an algorithm and everybody's just getting their news selected essentially to suit their biases, penetrating that is real tough. It is very hard.

SmartLess

"3 Presidents"

1114.221

I would argue that actually they've got some legitimate points in the sense that there's a side that doesn't recognize conservative thought or isn't respectful to some traditional values that they care about and so forth. The difference though is, and Jason touched on it, there's a difference between facts and opinions. And the one thing that our side still pretty much sticks to is the facts.

SmartLess

"3 Presidents"

1147.661

You may not agree with whatever's in the New York Times or whatever's on MSNBC, but generally they're not going to just make stuff up.

SmartLess

"3 Presidents"

1156.511

And, you know, look, I was in office... in 2016, and I would have loved to pretend that the election outcome wasn't what it was. That was painful, right? But we said, well, here are the facts, and there's a system of government that transcends that is more important than whoever wins this particular election. We're gonna abide by those facts and stick with democracy.

SmartLess

"3 Presidents"

1190.22

And that is a shift that's taking place. Now, last point I'd make though, because you asked, Jason was asking, what do we do? I think Joe's point is right. And that is, you just keep on showing up and delivering the message wherever you can, however you can.

SmartLess

"3 Presidents"

1207.649

And if you talk to folks enough, all of us, Bill, Joe, myself, all have the experience of going to places where we may not be the most popular person. People may have some preconceived notions about Barack Hussein Obama, right? But if you show up and you make a human connection with people and you talk to them, we'll be right back.

SmartLess

"3 Presidents"

1308.299

Yeah, I remember that. Look, I've got a Canadian brother-in-law. Canadians are interesting because they sneak up on you. You remember that movie, Invasion of the Body Snatchers? Like, they look like us. but you don't really know. Wait, I saw you at the Raptors game. Actually, I love me some Canadians.

SmartLess

"3 Presidents"

1552.215

I think Bill's points and Joe's points are important. You know, look. We all know America's not always lived up to its ideals. We got our warts, we got issues. But we do set the tone around the world. And part of what happened before Joe got elected, during that four year period, folks around the world started feeling as if

SmartLess

"3 Presidents"

1586.281

the ideals of human rights, freedom, democracy, that nobody was looking after that. Nobody was promoting that. Nobody was minding it. And people like Putin became emboldened. And you saw the Chinese and even countries that were democracies start backsliding because they do still look to America as an example of what they hope

SmartLess

"3 Presidents"

1618.883

a multi-racial, multi-ethnic, multi-religious big country can look like. That maybe people can still get along and act decently towards each other even if they don't all look the same and don't all talk the same and all come from the same place. That's what makes America exceptional.

SmartLess

"3 Presidents"

1637.116

And if you start getting into a situation in which we don't believe our own Declaration of Independence, if we're not acting on behalf of the things that we say we stand for, that has ripple effects all around the globe. And these guys are exactly right. I just came back from Europe, and every meeting I had, the only thing people were concerned about was

SmartLess

"3 Presidents"

1667.205

what's gonna happen in this next election because they understand what the stakes are.

SmartLess

"3 Presidents"

1693.948

You know, I will say, and Bill saw this begin to happen during his presidency, it then accelerated during my presidency, I have been surprised that there haven't been guardrails inside the Republican Party. Trump didn't surprise me. No. I mean, I'd like... It's a natural conclusion. No, I mean, you watch Trump's campaign, you watch his career. He's never changed.

SmartLess

"3 Presidents"

1720.864

If you know anybody who's... He's a huckster. I mean, he comes from New York. There's nobody in New York who does business with him. No. Or lend him money. He's not considered a serious guy here, but... So I was surprised he was elected, but I wasn't surprised in terms of his behavior.

SmartLess

"3 Presidents"

1740.866

I did expect, and I suspect Bill and Joe, you'd agree with this, that there would be some folks in the Republican Party who would say, no, you can't go that far. You can't start praising Putin and saying that his intelligence is better than The U.S. intelligence agencies.

SmartLess

"3 Presidents"

1768.24

Well, you know, I think that we can't discount... the fact that the world's changing quick. And when the world changes quick, people get scared and they get confused. And we had a historic recession in 2008, 2009, where the financial system almost collapses. We'd obviously already gone through 9-11. You got globalization, you have suddenly people feeling as if they're losing manufacturing jobs.

SmartLess

"3 Presidents"

1801.685

Some of the towns in Illinois where I was representing, Arkansas where Bill was working, you see people starting to feel like they're losing status. suddenly you've got the internet and social media and people are being flooded with all kinds of stuff and they don't know how to sort it all out.

SmartLess

"3 Presidents"

1821.019

And when people get scared and concerned, then the appeal of somebody who says, I'm gonna make it like it used to be where you don't have to worry about it and men are men and women know their place. that message can sometimes have some appeal.

SmartLess

"3 Presidents"

1872.095

Including our enemies.

SmartLess

"3 Presidents"

1875.637

If there's a problem around the world, You know, if there's a natural disaster, if there is a crisis, nobody's calling Moscow or Beijing expecting them to help them. Everybody's looking to Washington.

SmartLess

"3 Presidents"

1972.439

That's a little too advanced. You might need a 25-year-old aide to help on the merger thing.

SmartLess

"3 Presidents"

1994.516

Go ahead. Look, everybody talks about Air Force One. Yeah, sure. Marine One. Yeah. It's pretty convenient, I won't lie. But I'll tell you the thing I miss the most is, you remember those music concerts I used to do at, You can basically invite anybody. And you have this concert. And I mean, we got Stevie Wonder, Paul McCartney. Everybody will show up. They'll show up.

SmartLess

"3 Presidents"

2028.751

And they do these rehearsals the night before a lot of times. And you can kind of sneak down and you could just sit there and watch Mick Jagger practicing with B.B. King or something on a blues night. I do miss that. That's so good.

SmartLess

"3 Presidents"

2049.349

Oh, we should have done that today.

SmartLess

"3 Presidents"

2221.141

Not necessarily regrets, but things that you would wish had... Handing off the baton in 2016, definitely. But I think Bill's point is the right one, which is when you're sitting in that office, you are essentially a relay runner. You've taken a bunch of problems from the previous president, and you're working through them as best you can.

SmartLess

"3 Presidents"

2244.466

You're running the best race you can, and then you hand it off. During that time where you've got the baton in your hand and you're running... if you are focused on every day, can I make things a little bit better? Because you're not gonna make them perfect. There are too many problems, they're too hard. If you can make them a little better, then a lot of people are helped.

SmartLess

"3 Presidents"

2267.179

So the Affordable Care Act wasn't perfect. We didn't get everybody health insurance, but we got- It was a big deal. Tens of millions of people. Yeah. Really big deal. We got tens of millions of people- You can say the real quote on the show.

SmartLess

"3 Presidents"

2282.589

We got tens of millions of people health insurance and- My successor tried to kill it. Didn't succeed because it was starting to actually work. You get it passed on to Joe, and what does he do? He then takes what's already in place and builds on it. You know, expands the subsidies so that more people can start getting on it. Expands Medicaid so that more people can get on it. And so...

SmartLess

"3 Presidents"

2311.363

With all the changes he made, you know, health care in America is still not perfect. There's still folks who are, you know, having a tough time. But what has happened is that even more people have gotten coverage. And now Joe caps insulin at $35, which means that people who've got diabetes and really desperately need help, they're not getting price gouged.

SmartLess

"3 Presidents"

2330.956

And he's negotiating with Big Pharma to make sure that drug prices are affordable the way they are in Canada. Thank you. I'll take credit for that. So what you get are these incremental steps. To answer your question, Will, you're never satisfied when you leave because there's always going to be a bunch of stuff that's undone.

SmartLess

"3 Presidents"

2353.49

But I couldn't have done the Affordable Care Act if Bill hadn't made the efforts he did around the children's health insurance program. And Joe then builds on us. And that's what you're hoping for each and every time. And let me say this, the last point I'll make. It's not always just Democrats. George Bush and I had a huge number of differences.

SmartLess

"3 Presidents"

2375.816

But he set up this program called PEPFAR that provided drugs and support and help for people in sub-Saharan Africa and around the world who had HIV in the midst of the HIV-AIDS epidemic. And because of his program, millions of lives, tens of millions of lives were saved. And we then built on that program. So it doesn't just have to be a partisan thing.

SmartLess

"3 Presidents"

2407.351

Part of what you want, though, is somebody with Joe's decency and basic focus on the American people and who have a sense of responsibility to say, all right, I've inherited some stuff. Some of it's good. Some of it are problems. What more can I do? And that's the attitude Joe has. Yeah.

SmartLess

"3 Presidents"

2655.924

The economy grew under Bill, it grew under Joe, it grew under me, and the reason it grows is when everybody's got a stake, when everybody's making money. Morale. When people are getting paid decent wages, they have decent benefits, they feel better, they go shopping, they might even listen to this podcast. They've got to be pretty bored.

SmartLess

"3 Presidents"

2685.614

But the point is that American economic history shows whenever... Prosperity is broadly based, you know, and all of us ran campaigns with this basic premise that if you give everybody a fair shot, everybody does better.

SmartLess

"3 Presidents"

2711.021

It's such a joke.

SmartLess

"3 Presidents"

2832.864

Well, and I do think that there's one other thing. You were talking about, Jason, social issues versus economic issues. And why is it that sometimes things look good, but people don't feel good all the time? Part of it is, as I said before, things are changing. Folks are nervous. But underneath all the polarization that people are getting through TikTok and...

SmartLess

"3 Presidents"

2862.295

you know, social media and cable news. Bill's point about the average person just wanting to do the right thing, they actually don't want folks arguing all the time. They're really not looking for sort of a death match, you know, on every single issue. They'd like to see people be treating each other decently.

SmartLess

"3 Presidents"

2889.295

about whether they're a Democrat. Or if you're in a little league, right, and you're sitting at your kid's soccer game, and you've got the parent next to you, you want to talk about kids and soccer. And I do think that underneath all this... demonization and anger that people make money off of and that gets a lot of clicks. People do want to see some decency and common sense.

SmartLess

"3 Presidents"

2919.64

And I think Joe represents that. And his administration represents that. And if we can break through, all of us doing the work of a campaign, just to remind folks of what Lincoln called the better angels of our nature, then I think we're going to be okay. But the challenge we've got is anger and resentment and calling people names gets more attention.

SmartLess

"3 Presidents"

2950.922

And we do have to... One thing we do have to... I'm not sure, Jason, that in order to do the show, the performance you talked about, that it has to be pugilistic, that it has to be... hitting the other guy in the nose. It does have to be entertaining. You do have to be able to

SmartLess

"3 Presidents"

2973.305

Bill, Joe, me, when I'm doing okay, it's about telling stories that people can relate to because people can't relate to facts and numbers and figures as much as they can relate to stories. And to personal experience. And personal experience. That's what people relate to. And that performing by telling people stories, reminding them,

SmartLess

"3 Presidents"

2998.237

who they are, what family means to them, what it means to struggle and overcome. Joe, you know, what he had to overcome in terms of getting where he was. Bill, a master storyteller, talking about what it was like growing up, single mom, Arkansas. Those are the things that really, I think, resonate with people.

SmartLess

"3 Presidents"

3019.225

And if we can get more of that instead of the kind of name calling that we're seeing out here, I think we'll do okay.

SmartLess

"3 Presidents"

3146.724

It's just moving to be in front of the three of you. Thanks for doing it. Thank you so, so much. Really important. Appreciate it. Thank you, guys. Have a great time. Thank you. Have fun tonight.

SmartLess

SmartLess

And I'm going to swing this in a little bit. Thank you, sir. You're welcome.

SmartLess

"3 Presidents"

717.859

But when he did it... Do you basically scout out every state? It's like, can I go here? Is this okay? Well, it's a sequel.

SmartLess

"3 Presidents"

751.319

It's crazy. We're all wondering how we ended up here. I know, I'm sure. You've got questions for your staff.

I chose to run for president at this moment in history because I believe deeply that we cannot solve the challenges of our time unless we solve them together, unless we perfect our union by understanding that we may have different stories, but we hold common hopes. We may not look the same and may not have come from the same place, but we all want to move in the same direction.

Governor Romney, I'm glad that you recognize that Al Qaeda is a threat because a few months ago when you were asked what's the biggest geopolitical threat facing America, you said Russia, not Al Qaeda. You said Russia in the 1980s are now calling to ask for their foreign policy back because the Cold War has been over for 20 years.

It's not as if there weren't some significant ideological differences on some of these issues. No, there were. But I think that this is really a good example of how bipartisanship can work.

Madiba's light shone so brightly, even from that narrow Robben Island cell, that in the late 70s, he could inspire a young college student on the other side of the world. Mandela said, young people are capable when aroused... of bringing down the towers of oppression and raising the banners of freedom. Now's a good time to be aroused.

You know, it was really my experiences as a mother trying to get my kids to eat well. I mean, you know, what most people don't know, we're seeing an epidemic of childhood obesity. One in three of our kids will be overweight or obese, and we are spending billions of dollars in health care costs for preventable illnesses. And in my life, I saw how that was happening.

The Daily Show: Ears Edition

TDS Time Machine | Jon Interviews Trailblazing Women

1105.609

You know, two busy parents, don't have time to cook, eating out too much, you know, activity is being eliminated from our schools in many ways. The average kid is spending 7.5 hours a day in front of a screen. The average kid. That's on average. And it's... Wow.

The Daily Show: Ears Edition

TDS Time Machine | Jon Interviews Trailblazing Women

1155.898

It's a different world. It's harder to get kids... Yeah, yeah. You know, and with modern life, things are changing. Many kids are living in communities where their parents don't feel safe having them run outside, right? Right. You know, fast food is the exception, or the rule rather than the exception. I mean, just culturally... But a lot of times it's cheaper, though.

The Daily Show: Ears Edition

TDS Time Machine | Jon Interviews Trailblazing Women

1186.044

Well, the garden is a way to begin the conversation, because what I also learned in changing my kids' habits is that if kids are involved in the growth process of food and they get a better understanding of where their food comes from and they're engaged, they tend to be more likely to be excited about it. And the garden has been a really important catalyst for that discussion.

The Daily Show: Ears Edition

TDS Time Machine | Jon Interviews Trailblazing Women

1208.435

I mean, we've had hundreds of kids working with us in the garden to help plant and harvest. And usually with the harvest, we end with a vegetable feast. And we've got kids who... I'm sorry, just very quickly. It's a vegetable feast.

The Daily Show: Ears Edition

TDS Time Machine | Jon Interviews Trailblazing Women

1231.144

We've served everything from flatbread, veggie pizza that many kids have said is better than takeout. You know, because the truth is, is that vegetables that are grown fresh taste much better. I mean, I know when I was growing up, you got those store-bought tomatoes in that plastic tin, and they tasted like water.

The Daily Show: Ears Edition

TDS Time Machine | Jon Interviews Trailblazing Women

1258.976

You know, when we grew up, you cooked broccoli until you could cut it with a fork. You know, it's not supposed to be that way. But when you get kids engaged in pulling a tomato off the vine, it's really good. So we start with kids. I'm just going to write this down.

The Daily Show: Ears Edition

1320.919

Because the people say... Does that ever... No, no, I don't wield it over him. Because the truth is, is that one of the things that I've seen over the last three and a half years, I've seen what it takes to be president. I kind of watch this thing pretty closely. And... You know, the president is getting all the hard decisions where there's no easy answer.

The Daily Show: Ears Edition

TDS Time Machine | Jon Interviews Trailblazing Women

1345.286

That's the kind of stuff that comes across his desk. And really, when it comes down to it, when you're making those judgment calls, all you have is your character, your value, your vision for this country. And I see him...

The Daily Show: Ears Edition

TDS Time Machine | Jon Interviews Trailblazing Women

1357.714

being so consistent in, you know, disregarding the chatter and the noise and really moving forward towards a country where there's more equity, more fairness, where our kids will grow up in schools that educate them, where they'll have opportunities. I mean, that's hard work.

The Daily Show: Ears Edition

TDS Time Machine | Jon Interviews Trailblazing Women

1385.37

Never. Never. I mean, in fact, you know, the harder decisions, you know, I think he's been so consistent. I mean, he's come in, he told America what he was going to do. Pass health care, make sure that more people have access to health care and that our kids can start their lives with insurance as opposed to graduating from college, like so many, without insurance.

Yeah, by the time he was in college, you know, like so many young people, he, you know, realized that, you know, he could do more with his life, you know. You know, he had a mother that was always saying, you're so gifted, you're so talented, slap him in the back of the head, get yourself together. And I think when he lost his father, that was one of those moments

click in moments, and he really buckled down. I think he transferred schools, went to Columbia, and then that's when he got really serious about really thinking about how would he use his life to the fullest. It's interesting. That was before me.

There have been times where I've said, you know, you might not have taken into account the ongoing legacy of racism in why we have so many black men incarcerated. And since I know that you believe in the Constitution and believe in justice and believe in liberty, how about if we tried this? Now, some might say, well, you're not speaking fully truth to power because of that diplomacy.

The Daily Show: Ears Edition

TDS Time Machine | President's Day

1055.951

But I don't think that trying to appeal to the better angels of our nature, as Lincoln put it, is somehow compromise. There may be times where you just have to call things out and name names. But the challenge we face today when it comes to race is rarely the overt Klansman-style racism. And typically has more to do with the fact that people got other stuff they want to talk about.

The Daily Show: Ears Edition

TDS Time Machine | President's Day

1104.193

And it's sort of uncomfortable. And it's somebody not getting called back for an interview, although it's never explicit. You know, who gets the TV acting job, the actress who doesn't quite look the part and what does that mean?

The Daily Show: Ears Edition

TDS Time Machine | President's Day

1124.835

And in that environment where you're not talking necessarily about cut and dried racist behavior but rather about the complex ways in which society is working these issues through, you know, trying to reach folks in ways that they can hear, I think is important. And I would add, everybody's got a different role to play.

You know, if Chris Rock's doing stand-up, then there's a benefit to him doing something. that is different from the President of the United States doing something. For one thing, he doesn't have to edit his language quite as carefully because I am still subject to some restraints on those seven words George Carlin talked about. I can't use those as a general proposition.

You know, my general theory is that if I was clear in my own mind about who I was, comfortable in my own skin, and had clarity about the way in which race continues to be this powerful factor in so many elements of our lives, but that it is not the only factor in so many aspects of our lives.
