tonht the ins pent counsel's report has been delivered to congress. the possibility of impeaching the president must now be addressed. >> identify g've got it here, d. i'm going to skip -- >> starr produces this very lengthy report with all the minutia of their sexual interaction. >> if we may, we want to be careful here, this is daytime television and there are children in the audience, so i do encourage to you paraphrase. >> okay. i'll do my best. >> while the president was on the telephone, according to her, he -- let me just read this to make sure we don't -- >> i remember reading it on an airplane. and it was like reading the raciest novel i'd ever read in my life. it was it was almost too hot to handle. >> miss lewinsky showed him the

straps of her revealing underpants. >> he revealed himself and they had sex of a kind. again he stopped her before, i would say, he was completed, i guess would be the way to put that. >> there was something icky about pursuing this and there was no dignity from anybody. >> prosecutors emphasize the real issue is not sex but the president subverting the legal system by getting others to lie and obstructing evidence. >> the evidence suggests that the president repeatedly tried to thwart the legal process in the jones matter. >> the constitution says a president can be impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors but the constitution does not define what they mean so they're up to congress to define. >> i do not think that unless thesemisconduct raises the level of assault on our fundamental political system that they're impeachable, even if every one of them is true. >> this was ant an impeachable

offense. it's embarrassing but has nothing to do with the running of government. there were a number of republicans who knew this was all nonsense but they were going to go along because they were being forced by the party. >> history unfolding in the nation's capital today as a somber house of representativeses voted for only the second time in american history to impeach a president of the united states. >> after a lifetime of striving for a celebrated rank among american presidents, in diligent student of history was handed his place today. one he did not want but can never give back. >> i want the american people to know today that i am still committed to working with people of good faith and goodwill, of both parties, to do what's best for our country. it's what i've tried to do for six years. it's what i intend to do for two more. until the last hour of the last day of my term. >> it was up to the house to

decide whether there was grounds to impeach the president and then it is up to the senate to conduct the trial and act as essentially the jury. >> the said william jefferson clinton is hereby acquitted of the charges in the said articles. >> the president of the united states found not guilty. >> clinton lied under oath. he did not challenge the constitutional system of the united states. so, he's not removed from office. >> three out of four americans are saying, we know bill clinton is a scoundrel and yet we think he's effective as president. >> the really amazing thing is how bill clinton bounced back from that. he just kept climbing in the polls, notch, notch, notch, notch, notch. incredible. >> by the end of the 1990s, it looks like a different country for many americans. the economy is booming and our deficit is gone. >> 1999 was the longest peace time economic expansion in u.s. history. >> clinton was one of the

greatest politicians the white house has ever seen. he was a great leader in the sense of being a charismatic, well-intentioned, visionary president. but he undermined himself with his personal foiables. >> as mr. clinton moves into his final year in office, he's already sharing the spotlight with vice president and his wife. >> it's one of the tragedies of the clinton years that this period of real prosperity and real peace leads to a more polarized america. bill clinton leaves the country more divided than he found it. >> he came with these enormous expectations. the expectations of a generation behind him. and although he had some big achievements, he also had some enormous setbacks. that cycle of achievement and setback came to define his presidency. >> we know the sun will always rise on america as long as each new generation lights the fire

of freedom. our children are ready. >> the thing about bill clinton is he never stopped trying find a sliver of ground in which you could find agreement and move the country forward. i think that brand of politics, in spite of clinton's flaws, in spite of the things, you know, we all wish he had done differently or not at all, gosh, the country could use that. >> al gore surprised no one when he declared his candidacy in june. on the gop side, 1999 belonged to the man with the money, texas governor george bush. pat buchanan left his home for the reform party where donald trump is threatening to challenge him for the nomination. and the story that rivalled the presidential race -- >> so the answer is, yes, i intend to run. >> hillary clinton made her

senate campaign official facing off with new york mayor rudy giuliani. thank youery much. and when they say this show features living color, you better believe it. >> spear chucker. >> white trash. jungle bunny. >> honky. >> dead honky. >> i'm not allowed to say certain things. i mean, i can make fun of jewish people but i'm not allowed to make fun of other ethnic groups. >> they don't arrest anybody that kills rabbits. [ bleep ] if you want to get away with murder, all you got to do is shoot somebody in the head and put a demo tape in their
