i was ten years older than bill frist. fortunately the health problem i had worked out fine. but i had doubts during that period. i had just been bypassed by someone who is ten years younger than i am and had a significant health problem. so i wondered if i would ever have an opportunity to have the job that i had clearly been hoping to have for quite a while. >> host: so. >> guest: so it was a challenging period but like other challenges eye and others have -- i don't want to make the story seem all that unique. if ju just don't quit and just keep plucking, the chances are you'll get where you're headed. i always tell students, the only way to fail inners america is to quit or die. and we all have speed bumps and setbacks. are we dedefeated by them oar shake it off and except going if go my second chance. billioned to leave indiana and i was lettered of the part then there was another disappoint: wasn't the majority leader. it was the minority leader. >> host: and you gave the blame for some of that to republican on republican violence you've talk about that. about the polit

leader pelosi, congresswoman ross, late henry hyde, late tom lantos, senator bill frist, then-senator republicans and democrats stepped up and said, we're going to do this and lead this country and the world to try to stamp hiv and aids off the face of the earth. >> congresswoman, you talked about that push for funding, right, but you look at 30 years ago, aids was getting a ton of attention. it was on headlines -- in headlines all the time. now it's more rarely mentioned except for on days like today, world aids day, partly because the spread has slowed. but do you think that makes it harder to push for more funning, push for more resources, for prevention research? >> the media, quite frankly, hasn't been covering the pandemic still, but we have to educate the public more and hopefully -- and i'm really pleased to be able to talk with you today, because we need to really understand that we've accomplished a lot. 9.7 million people are on life-saving treatment, the antiviral drugs. we have saved 37 million lives. the president, before he even took office in 2008, on world aids day 20

bill frist, a fine human being. i really cared about him a lot. he wasn't an experienced legislator but that's okay. he was an experienced human being. i liked him a lot. i already talked about mitch. diversity, we don't have enough diversity in the senate but i do take create for creating a diversity office with democrats. senator schumer has indicated he's going to continue that. i'm very happy he's going to do that. we don't have enough diversity, i repeat. i want to tell everyone here, i'm grateful to all my democratic senators. they've been so good to me during my time as leader, but i have to mention durbin. he and i came here together 34 years ago. he has been so supportive of me. he's been my cousin jeff. you care if i tell the story? okay. here i go. my brother lives -- he's an interesting man. he had a girlfriend there that was married. and he brought her home one night, her husband, boyfriend, whatever it was jumped out on my brother's back. they had a fight. my brother won. so he -- a couple of weeks later at a 49'er club. he's having

heart transplant doctors like bill frist will be out of business because, instead, we'll begin to use regenitive medicine to use your own cells to restore your own heart. this is dr. collins talking. and the real answer to the opioid addiction which would be non-addictive pain medicine, which he seize coming in ten years. this bill makes those come true in two ways. first, funding for the research, and second to move those more rapidly through the regulatory process into doctors' offices and into people's medicine cabinets so people can use them, hopefully at a lower cost. that's why the president said this is an opportunity we can't miss. that's why the vice president was making phone calls to the senators all week. that's why speaker ryan put this as part of his agenda for leadership and that's why mitch mcconnell said this was the most significant piece of legislation for the year. i want to especially think speaker ryan and senator mcconnell because they have so many, as they know, they have so many conflicting demands as leaders and as speaker, but they cleared a pathway for a ve

heart transplant doctors like from the majority leader bill frist who will be out of business because instead we will begin to use regenerative medicine to use your own cells to restore your own heart. this is dr. collins talking. and the real answer to the opioid addiction which would be non-addictive pain medicines. he sees sees those coming in 10 years. these are truly medical miracles. this legislation helps make that dream come true in two ways. one, the funding for the research, and second, to move all those cures and treatments more rapidly through the investment and regulatory process and into doctors offices and into the medicine cabinets so people can use them, hopefully, at a a lower cost. that is why the president said this is an opportunity we can't miss. that's why the vice president was making phone calls to senators all week. that's why speaker rhein put this as part of his agenda for leadership. that's why mitch mcconnell said this was the most significant piece of legislation for the year. i want to especially thank the speaker and senator mcconnell because they had

is an amazing program -- congress really took this up lee, senatorra frist, senator kerry, and presidentush historically for the first time ever in history and the world stood up and said we are going to invest to say people's life around the globe. that has now -- fast-forward 13 years because it is the first time we show data that we are beginning to control the epidemic. -- and weay 13 years continue to save lives, but now we have the impact data that says those investments brought us to a place where we are actually changing the very trajectory of this epidemic and are medically decreasing it. at how much has decreased, over 50%. in what countries are you talking about? in what countries are you talking about? sour and -- saharan africa, south america. host: we are showing our viewers a map of the so-called hotspots that you were referring to. of an aidse's a goal free generation by 2030. -- host: there's a goal of an aids free generation by 2030. is it possible? these threes what surveys in the field were about. needs work done at the community level. -- these were done at the commu

bill frist was at one time a heart transplant surgeon. he transplanted more hearts than anybody in the world, i think, or nearly anybody. but dr. collins believes that with advances in using our own adult cells, we will restore hearts. we won't have to transplant them. we may be able to restore eyesight. these are the kind of miracles that this legislation will encourage that can affect virtually every american family, and the other part of the legislation equally important to the money is that it would make reforms in the food and drug administration and in the national institutes of health that will move those treatments and cures through the regulatory and investment process more rapidly at lower costs into the medicine cabinets, into the doctor's office where they can help virtually every family in this country. that's why 85 senators yesterday voted to end debate on this bill, and i suspect more will vote tomorrow to send it to the president. that's why the house of representatives, 392 of them, voted for this bill. only six democrat

a growing body of research shows that people of color are more likely to be stopped, frist, questioned, charged, detained african-americans are more likely to be arrested, more likely to be sentenced to more time for the same crime and one of the consequences is that's around 1 million fathers are behind bars, one in nine african-american kids have a parent in prison. what to does this lead to? it leads to enormous problems between the community and our law-enforcement officers. we have a chart showing the difference of trust between whites and nonwhites. for whites, trusting the police at 60% and for nonwhites 49%. we look here, how does the community feel about their law-enforcement? for whites, 83% feel they have confidence in their law-enforcement, blacks 52%, latinos 53%. how may people in the community feel the police use excessive force? for whites, 74% feel they do not, blacks only 36% feel they do not, latinos, only 45% feel they don't use excessive force. the president-- president discusses some of the kernel justice reform, the community, cellblock and the courtroom. another

we used to always joke in white house legislative affairs, at least in frist there when staffers wouldve, they would print out a piece of paper that showed all the bills we had gotten past during that period of time. i don't know what they do now, the list is much shorter. it was a change in tactics that came about because of the 2010 election. few morewe have a minutes for one last question from me, and i want you all to think of questions you can ask in the last 10 minutes of our panel. i want to present this question to all three of you. what did you learn in the transition and first year of your respective administrations, that you wished you had known? it,ing back, now you know you wish you had known going into it? elaine: i don't know, there are a lot of things. i think that things we wished we had known was, exactly how complicated pieces of the government work. outside youhe thought you knew. once you got in, there were layers upon layers upon layers. -- bill clinton had been governor of arkansas for more than a decade. al gore has been member of congress and senate for a long
