grilled me on anything she felt she needed to know. >> i remember one stage she brought and he was going through that stage where he would wear a baseball cap all the time. i finally said you have to take that baseball cap off. we're in the white house, we're having dinner and you cannot sit at the table with that baseball cap on. so it was just being a regular mom. >> another regular mom moment, when chelsea graduated from high school and left the nest, fall 1997. >> she was teary almost every day that her child was going away to college. >> my mom just i think couldn't believe that i was going to california. i think that was more upsetting to her than just me going to college. she was like can't you find somewhere closer? >> chelsea arrived at stanford on air force i.

was welcomed by fans and friends. she had a secret service detail, but hillary still tried to make it as normal as possible. >> my mom put contact paper, like, in every drawer. she kept, like, trying to find things to reorganize and finally my dad was like we need to go. mom was like there has to be something else. my dad was like it's now time. i think if dad hadn't intervened, my mom would have still been there when i graduated four years later. >> chelsea was an adult now, on her own. shielding her from controversy as hillary had done for 18 years would be much harder. >> how difficult is it for you to hear so many people harshly criticize your mother? >> well, it's just been something i've got i don't know accustomed to over my life. i mean, i don't remember a time

when my mom wasn't be attacked. >> charges of sex, lies and audiotapes. >> there is not a sexual relationship, that is accurate. >> january 1998, halfway through chelsea's freshman year, news broke that bill clinton had an affair with white house intern monica lewinsky. he denied it. >> i want to you listen to me. i'm going to say this again. i did not have sexual relations with that woman, miss lewinsky. >> and as she had done so many times before, hillary stood by her husband. >> she immediately said it's just not true, patti. so she felt get out there, get ahead of this, deny it and save it. we're not going to let this affect your job.

>> she kept her commitment to a previously scheduled appearance on the "today" show. >> what is the exact nature of the relationship between your husband and monica lewinsky? >> it wasn't going to be easy. >> there's a vast right-wing conspiracy that has been conspiring against my husband. >> that's what she believed, this was another attempt to bring down her husband and attack them. >> meanwhile federal investigators and a grand jury looked into the allegations of perjury and obstruction of justice. by mid summer, monica lewinsky agreed to testify and supply evidence in exchange for immunity. the president was scheduled to testify as well. it was the middle of august in the early morning hours before he was to be deposed when bill clinton confessed.

>> he let her know that it was actually true, and she was devastated by it. she was -- she felt betrayed, she felt lied to, she felt that she had been defending him all this time and unknowingly she was lying. >> indeed i did have a relationship with miss lewinsky that was not appropriate. in fact, it was wrong. >> i don't know what got her through there, but being in the white house, subject to all that scrutiny -- >> hillary was desperate to cape washington, d.c. the morning after admitting the affair, bill clinton and his family left to go on vacation. the world was watching. >> you know, she was angry, she was upset. it's an iconic photograph with

chelsea in the middle, and i think at that point that's who was keeping them together, chelsea. >> chelsea. >> yeah. >> there's no program. >> it's the president's birthday. >> the president and first lady have shown little affection following the grand jury testimony. >> this is a family that's got some healing to do. >> how difficult was it to go through something so private, so personal under the glare of the spotlight of the first lady? >> it was really hard. it was painful. and i was so supported by my friends. my friends just rallied around. they would come, they would try to make me laugh, they would recommend books to read. we'd go for long walks, we'd hang out, you know, eat bad

food. just the kinds of things you do with your friends. and it was something that you just had to get up every day and try to deal with while still carrying on a public set of responsibilities. so it was very, very challenging. >> hillary clinton took care of her daughter and stood by her husband. even when others didn't. hillary confided in jim blair's wife, diane. >> and she explains to diane why she was sticking by her husband during this time. she said she's in it for the long haul, partly because she's stubborn, partly her upbringing, partly her pride. >> i think there's only one real reason and that's because she loves him. that's the end of the day. >> simple as that. >> simple as that.

>> hillary clinton during this period i think rises really to the status of most admired women. >> clinton pollster mark penn. >> people looked at this and they said, well, look, anybody that could go through this, i mean, that's a strong woman. >> an image she'd carry into her next stage in life as the first lady becomes a senator.

william jefferson clinton but such conduct warrants impeachment and trial. >> senators, how say you? is the respondent, william jefferson clinton, guilty or not guilty? >> as bill clinton was fighting for his political legacy, hillary clinton was planning hers. it was february 12th, 1999. >> it was such a surreal moment. >> mr. mccain, guilty. >> because as the impeachment vote was happening on the floor --

>> mr. moynihan, not guilty. >> -- she was with the quintessential expert on the state of new york, of all things new york. >> that expert was senior adviser harold ickes. inside the private quarters of the white house, hillary clinton and ickes were contemplating a run for senate. >> we ran the gamut. >> hillary pored over research and debated strategy. then the phone rang. >> she told the white house operator to put whoever was calling on. >> so i just called and said i'd like to talk to the first lady. >> we didn't have a television or radio on. and she listened and said "i understand." >> i thought i was the 30th person to call. i had no idea i was the first guy through. >> new york republican peter king who had voted against impeachment delivered the news. president clinton had been acquitted by the senate of perjury and obstruction of justice. >> she put the phone down and

there was a slight pause and she was like, harold, weren't we talking about a county in upstate new york? >> so instead of talking about the fact her husband had been acquitted -- >> she wanted to get right back. i could see in her body language that there was a sense of real relief, but she is not easily distracted from the issue at hand. >> that issue was the launch of her own political career. >> bill was really encouraging her to do this. lots of people come forward and say you really should think about doing this. >> hillary clinton felt like she needed something of her own. she needed to essentially move away from being an adjunct of her husband. >> maggie haberman was a local newspaper reporter covering the senate campaign. >> she saw an open seat and the field was basically cleared for her. >> i'm starting a listening tour of new york. >> the senate race had been a

mini presidential race in terms of stress from day one. >> the idea that the circus was coming to town was really pretty dramatic. we chronicled literally every single movement of the precampaign and then the eventual campaign. it was literally seen as the greatest show on earth. >> the press even followed along as hillary clinton house hunted for the first time in decades. >> they spent most of their married lives in public housing. so hillary wants a real house with a real yard and dorothy looks at her and says, now hillary, the park service is not going to come mow this yard. >> she settled on this house in the quiet suburb of chappaqua, new york, 300 miles away from the white house and her husband. >> it was astonishing. in the final few months of her husband's term, she was not there at all. it was extremely unusual.

>> but necessary. >> the question is how do you go from the white house to running in new york state? you didn't live in new york state, you didn't represent new york state. >> clinton had to convince new yorkers she wasn't an outsider. so she went on a listening tour of the entire state, all 62 counties. >> this notion of listening first, understanding people's problems first and then kind of explaining what you thought the solutions might be really just worked powerfully. >> i'm not in a campaign yet. >> i think they even have flies in arkansas. >> her opponent, mayor rudy giuliani, hit her hard on everything. >> kind of the way the clintons play politics. in the name of uniting, what they're really trying to do is divide, which is sad. >> then giuliani dropped out for personal reasons. clinton's new opponent rick lazio came out swinging. >> i'd be happy to when you give me the signed letters -- >> i want your signed

signature -- >> this was rick lazio coming and downgrading her because she was a woman. whether she wanted it or not, the woman's card worked for her. >> two months later, hillary beat lazio. >> wow, this is amazing. >> hillary knew when she arrived on capitol hill she was just the freshman senator from new york. >> she did not act like a celebrity. >> she decides i'm not going to be a bull in the china shop. >> from the beginning, clinton made a point of crossing the aisle, even quietly joining a republican prayer group. >> the idea is sending a signal that if we find common ground, i can work with you on it. >> he was working across the

aisle from republicans and people who wanted to impeach her husband years before. >> that was the real irony of it. >> ten months in her first term came the defining moment as junior senator of new york, september 11th, 2001. >> the impact of seeing it firsthand shows what a total hell it is. >> amidst the devastation and mourning, a harsh reality. >> this is the kind of devastating attack and loss of life that is almost beyond imagination. and new york is going to need a lot of help. >> and money. and it was not just getting it but the painstaking task of figuring out how to distribute it. >> you had police officers, firefighters, wall street executives, investment bankers and how do you decide how much a human being is worth. i mean, it was very tough stuff. she was the senator who took the most active role in that meeting with everybody. >> she also sponsored a bill to cover medical costs for those who became sick after working at

ground zero. it finally passed in 2010. and when president bush sought congressional authorization to use force in iraq, claiming that saddam hussein had weapons of mass destruction, the memories of what had happened at ground zero weighed heavily. >> she was looking at it from the perspective of the senator from new york after 9/11 and all of those people who died and all those families who lost loved ones. >> so it is with conviction that i support this resolution as being in the best interests of our nation. a vote for it is not a vote to rush to war, it is a vote that puts awesome responsibility in the hands of our president, and we say to him use these powers wisely and as a last resort. >> it's very painful. that was not one of the easier decisions of a tenure in the united states senate. i have to live with my vote.

hillary does, too. >> a vote she would wrestle with from that day forward. on the "today" show in 2006. >> obviously if we knew then what we know now, there wouldn't have been a vote and i certainly wouldn't have voted that way. >> and in her book, "hard choices" writing, "i wasn't alone in getting it wrong but i still got it wrong, plain and simple." her critics sathat little else about her senate career was memorable. >> she was not relative in terms of national legislation or policy initiatives. >> she was never afraid to invite somebody else to share the stage with her. >> now a politician in her own right and a senator in her own right, but was she ready for a

presidential announcement. >> she's prepared and methodical but not so much for the unexpected and the unexpected was barack obama. >> she was cautious. >> perhaps too cautious. while barack obama celebrated his historic candidacy, hillary clinton downplayed hers. >> the input she got, be a strong leader but don't play up this notion of first woman president. >> while clinton and her campaign steered clear of gender issues, others didn't, instead, focusing on how she looked and what show wore. >> i admire what senator clinton s done for america, what her husband did for america i'm not sure about that coat. i actually like hillary's jacket. i don't know what's wrong with it. >> how did she handle that? >> with some discomfort, some amusement, a little bit of tension.

>> they didn't want to call too much attention to the fact that she was a woman. >> while barack obama engaged young voters in a new way, clinton's campaign seemed stuck in the 90s. >> there was a stiffness about hillary in the early part of the campaign. too measured. >> there was a lot of debate among her strategists about exactly how to humanize her, how to make her more accessible to people. >> in fact, there was a lot of debate among her strategists about everything. >> it wasn't just good old fashioned healthy debate. there was some infighting. >> you know, but you know, campaigns under stress have that. it's true. >> the race was tight as they approached the all-important iowa caucuses, so the campaign turned to its secret weapons. >> so i wanted to introduce you to my mom and my daughter. >> an ad called "dorothy" hit the airwaves. >> what i would like people to

know about hillary is what a good person she is. >> and chelsea joined her mother and grandmother on the stump and in the diners. >> just laughing a lot with my grandmother and mother because my grandmother was really excited about the egg salad sandwich that she said was like the best egg salad sandwich she'd had in, i don't remember, 20 or 30 years. >> to show voters more of her humor and humanity, hillary clinton started to talk less about policy and more about people. >> my mother had a difficult childhood but worked hard to provide a loving home for us. >> but it was too late. obama beat her badly in iowa and looked likely to do the same in new hampshire. >> things looked really, really bleak. there were a lot of options put on the table. one of those options was dropping out. and she was just like, no, i'm not a quitter.

>> hillary clinton was a fighter, like during this debate on abc. >> what can you say to the voters of new hampshire who see your resumé and like it but are hesitating on the likability issue, where they seem to like barack obama more? >> well, that hurts my feelings. >> i'm sorry, senator. i'm sorry. >> i don't think i'm that bad. >> you're likable enough, hillary. no doubt about it. >> the turning point came on january 7th at a local diner in portsmouth, new hampshire. clinton was asked a simple question. what gets you up every day? >> this is very personal for me. it's not just political, it's not just public. i see what's happening. we have to reverse it. >> what do you remember about feeling in that moment? >> i'd been through a grueling campaign and there had been ups and there had been downs and it was incredibly intensely

exhausting, physically and emotionally and every other way. and a lot of the emotion that had been there but suppressed because had you to get up every day, do ten events, travel a thousand miles just came flooding out and -- >> i imagine that was liberating. >> it was surprising. >> well, you're human and we all have emotions. >> don't tell anybody. that's one of the best kept secrets. >> huge wins tonight for hillary clinton and john mccain. >> that gave her a lot of energy and focus to continue the fight. >> i found my own voice. >> and her sense of humor. >> thank you for coming. i love your outfit. >> well, i love your outfit. but i do want the earrings back. >> oh, okay. >> now she campaigned like a challenger, not an incumbent.

>> there were instances where we'd stay at the same hotel. we'd get there at 10 and she would get there at midnight. we would leave at 8 and she'd have left at 7. and it was extraordinary to watch. >> clinton turned up the heat. >> shame on you, barack obama! >> her debate performances were more aggressive. we finally did the 3 a.m. spot that would become iconic. >> it's 3 a.m. and your children are safe and asleep but there's a phone in the white house and it's ringing. >> and chelsea clinton emerged as a force on the trail. >> i wound up doing like more than 400 events in less than six months. i think in 40 states. sometimes two people showed up, sometimes 1,200 people showed up. >> some called it the chelsea effect. whenever she appeared, the gap between her mother and obama seemed to shrink. >> i need to go tell anyone and everyone who may have an iota of interest in listening to me why

i'm so passionately supporting my mom as a daughter, as a democrat, as an american. >> oh, i think she'll be more than the voice of change. >> the tide slowly started to turn, but there was not enough time to catch up. june 3rd, 2008, the last day of democratic primaries. clinton took south dakota. >> i will be the democratic nominee. >> but obama won enough delegates to clinch the nomination. it was over. hillary clinton responded with the speech of a lifetime. >> although we weren't able to shatter that highest, hardest glass ceiling this time, thanks to you, it's got about 18 million cracks in it. >> i was so proud of how just graceful and gracious she was and how full of gratitude she

>> looking back, it would have been better if i had simply used a second e-mail account and carried a second phone, but at the time this didn't seem like an issue. >> but it was an issue and the fbi launched an investigation. >> why was her use of a private e-mail server so problematic when she was secretary of state? >> a, because it poses national security risks. but then also it's very clear that she put this offline so that no one else could see it. >> and that just feeds into this perception that she's not trustworthy in your view? >> correct because there's just been such a legacy of these types of scandals built up over time. >> the muddled response only made matters worse. >> there were different approaches, some were dismissive. >> did you wipe the server? >> like with a cloth or something? >> some were remorseful. >> i used a single account for convenience. obviously these years later, it

doesn't look so convenient. >> but they weren't consistent. >> it would take six months before clinton said the words many had been waiting for. >> that was a mistake. i'm sorry about that. i take responsibility. >> if you look at polling, she took a big hit when that story surfaced. in terms of those measures of trust, honesty. she's never fully recovered from that. >> how much personal responsibility do you take for those poll numbers showing that people have a hard time trusting you? >> i think i have to take ultimate responsibility because clearly i am not communicating effectively. there is a disconnect between how i'm perceived when i'm doing a job and how people are viewing me when i am seeking a job. >> just one month after clinton clinched her party's nomination, the fbi announced the results of its investigation. >> although we did not find

clear evidence that secretary clinton or her colleagues intended to violate laws governing the handling of classified information, there is evidence that they were extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information. >> though clinton would not face any criminal charges, in the court of public opinion, the jury was still out. >> you've covered her for so many years. do you find she has a problem with honesty and transparency? >> i think they're not the same thing. i think she has a problem with transparency. i think every politician has some level of a problem with transparency. but the net effect doesn't matter because that is how voters see it, as she has an honesty problem. >> the critical problem is lack of authenticity but i think it's a guardedness. i think there's a lot of scar

tissue from battles that she fought. she's learned to be reserved. she's learned words can be use against you so use them very carefully. >> but yet that hurts her. %-p. >> there's no one element that's the real hillary clinton. you're talking about a woman who likes to know how thick the ice is before she steps out on it. there is the engaging, warm, delightful, seductive hillary. so there are several hillary clintons. >> she's a complex person, but she's not the caricature, she's not the great heroine her supporters think she is and she's not this evil person that her enemies think. >> there are so many versions of you out there. who is the real hillary clinton? >> just the same person i've always been. i'm always amused by the various scenarios about me and the kind of caricatures of me. again, i don't have a lot of control over that. i just get up every day, do what i belie is the right thing to

do. i don't know anything else to do other than to be me. >> but do you ever see a version and say who is that person? >> oh, all the time. i read things about me and i say i wouldn't like her either. i mean, really. who is this person? >> it's so clear to me who my mother is. she's kind, hilarious, compassionate, warm, loving. she does have i think the best laugh. i wish more people could see that. i wish more people on the kind of public advocacy side could recognize her lifelong commitment to children and to families and that really has been the core thread of her life. >> the core of her life and the core of her mission, to break that final glass ceiling. >> please welcome chelsea clinton. >> that moment when your daughter was on stage and introduced you as her mother and the first female presidential nominee of a major party, what was that like for you? >> oh, my gosh.

i was watching backstage and i thought i'm such a lucky person no matter what happens. i just feel blessed. >> my mother, my hero, and our next president, hillary clinton. >> i was worried that i might just burst into tears. i really thought, oh, my gosh, this is going to be so emotional. >> thank you for that amazing welcome. >> thinking about my mother, seeing my daughter, knowing that i was about to accept this nomination and the responsibility that went with it was an overwhelming moment. and i will never forget it. >> and so, my friends, it is with humility, determination and boundless confidence in america's promise that i accept your nomination for president of the united states!

>> anthony: somebody asks you where you're from and you answer, "i'm from chicago," nobody's going to give you a patronizing response like, "oh, chicago's charming." >> pedestrian: hey, chicago! >> anthony: more likely it'll be "wow, chicago" or "oh, chicago." they'll be impressed. chicago's a town, a city that doesn't ever have to measure
