hillary clinton.inton has agreed to chair this task force, and not only becauses it means she will be sharing some of the heat i expect to generate. >> the president gave hillary one of the toughest issues there is, universal health care and that was a shock to not only people in washington, but to the people who were working in the white house. >> what, what factors did you consider in putting this -- >> well, tell you the truth, there was no discussion, it was not an option, the president andthe first lady made the decision that she was going to lead the health care. did i think it was a good idea to run it out of the white house? no. and no one else really did either. >> any doubts that hillary clinton will have a big role in the new administration, the president put them to rest today. >> more than half of americans say it's not appropriate for first ladies to make policy. >> who elected hillary rodham clinton to make policy? >> it was so controversial, so many attacks from so many different place

i'm going as hillary clinton.ight. >> and i said, um, okay, i'll do it. >> hillary has been preparing her whole life for this speech. >> i remember, vividly, her looking at me and saying, you know, i just want to push the envelope as far as i can on women's rights and human rights. >> this is china. hillary's going into the den, if you will. where many girl babies were killed. where women are incredibly devalued. where human rights, in general, writ large, are devalued. >> reporter: in the audience are women from 189 countries. >> so, we were hidden from the crowd but we were on the side of the stage. both of us, absolutely nervous. the stakes were so high. >> the great challenge of this conference is to give voice to women everywhere, whose experiences go unnoticed, whose words go unheard. >> you could feel, in that room, almost a stillness. >> even now, in the late-20th century. >> there was no reaction in the audience. we, suddenly, looked at each other just in a panic like, maybe, we have completely miscalcula

. >> in the end, you thought, well, this is going to be hillary clinton's time. >> for seem time now,s been no secret that senator hillary clinton would run for president, but today she made it official. >> i'm not just starting a campaign, though, i'm beginning a conversation. >> after six years as a senator, people believe that she has the credentials and the leadership skills to be president. >> i'm in it to win it with your help. >> she got a lot of experience, her husband was a very popular president. she had all the money, all the backers, it looked like a pretty sure bet. >> senator barack obama threw his hat into the crowded ring today in springfield, illinois. >> one thing you could say with certainly about illinois senator barack obama, there's never been another presidential candidate like him. he has a foreign sounding name that rounds with osama, his middle name is hussein and he's admitted to using marijuana and cocaine as a teenager. he's half black, half white, and in terms of political experience, green. >> as a senate candidate in 2004, barack obama stepped onto the

let's see does he end up over the clinton number? he's at 75%. clinton got 66%. this is an eight point victory statewide for trump in 2016. franklin county the state capitol. columbus. this is 76%. 61% clinton landed in 2016. again, more than half the vote in here. we think the next half is probably more favorable to trump. how far down does that biden number come? he wants that to land not at the clinton number. he wants to land substantially ahead. here's an interesting one. outside of columbus, this is a traditionally republican sort of bedroom community suburban area. the early vote here in delaware county. a big one. biden leading it 54, 45. trump won this by 17 points in 2016. that was bad for a republican. this is one of the areas traditionally deeply republican. where democrats think they can make gains and have made gains in the trump era. this will be interesting to watch. biden over that significantly over that clinton number. we again expect trump to make up ground here as the rest of the vote comes in, but does this number land substantially above 20

that's a clinton state. president trump has not taken anything away from the clinton map.den's foundation. 232. we just watch nevada as it plays out. you're in this place now where we're waiting here. we might have to wait until tomorrow. specially the metro atlanta area. the president has a healthy lead but there's a lot missing. this is the story of 2020. patience, let them count the votes. if we have to wait until wednesday or thursday to know who our president is, it's frustrating but that's the way it will be. this looks like it will go this way. that's 230, 230. this is where we are. you're in a very, very competitive race right now. we don't have rhode island on this map. i think we should be getting that one pretty soon. that gets to you 234. 230. and then you're in a slug fest. let's assume for the sake of argument. i'm not trying to anger republicans. that would be a big deal. that would get joe biden to 240. the president would be at 230. then what are you waiting on? on maine? we expect the democrats to get most of these? i'll take that away. the second congres

clinton: thank you. what are you seeing around the country in terms of any new challenges in keeping people in their homes because of covid? are you dealing with it? haditha challenges vary from place to place? >> the single biggest issue right now is we are all kind of waiting for a stimulus bill. it did have a the ignition and impact in the first few months. to give people the confidence to stay in their homes and meet their financial needs. that is something we are feeling on the ground level. i am concerned that while forbearance rates were relatively low during the crisis, delinquency rates are starting to rise. i am particularly concerned about those. they are starting to get into double digits. being with the objective of this forum, i really think there is a call to action to all of us get on this very quickly. my job as a lender is to continue to make sure we are helping every customer stay in their home. we have changed our metric. i urge all bankers and lenders to do the same. not counting how

the clinton demonstrated leadership that day. i take the floor today to ask like donald trump put the country over his personal feelings. i particularly want to askmy my republican senate colleagues, why what you asked the president of your party to do the right thing and put the interests of the country over personal or partisan pursuits? it is now nine days after election day, five days since all major news organizations called the presidential election for joe biden and kamala harris. donald trump is now behind in the popular vote by more than 5 million votes and the number is rising. some suggest the ultimate margin will be closer to 7 million votes. donald trump is behind pennsylvania, michigan and wisconsin. not by the 77000 votes for years ago but nearly 220,000 votes and that number is declining everyday. donald trump has lost other key states that he won in 2016, georgia and arizona and get, how is president trump acting? like a spoiled child. not just refusal to concede a loss, in his weakness, he's willing to speak and

clinton: thank you.hat are you seeing around the country in terms of any new challenges in keeping people in their homes because of covid? how are you dealing with it? how do the challenges vary from place to place? sanjiv: mr. president, the single biggest issue right now is we are all kind of waiting for a stimulus bill. it did have a pretty significant impact in the six months in first people being able to have the confidence -- and i use the word confidence -- for people to be able to stay in their homes and meet their financial needs. that is something we are feeling at the ground level. i am concerned that while forbearance rates were relatively low during the crisis, the delinquency rates are starting to rise. i am particularly concerned about those. some of the programs i talked about, delinquency rates in those groups are starting to get into double digits. i am concerned where this is going to land if we don't do something really fast. the objective of this forum, i really think there is a call

i want to put aside secretary clinton for a second. when the fbi decided to investigate candidate donald trump, what questions did you ask? at some point, somebody came to you and said, hey, mr. deputy director we're going to -- just so you'll know, we're going to investigate the republican nominee for president of the united states. do you remember when you were told that? >> so if you're referring to our initiation of the cross fire investigation, so the investigation of the trump campaign, i do remember conversations at the end of july, 2016 -- >> okay. i'm not interested in the date. excuse me for interrupting, i apologize. would it be fair to say that the christopher steele dossier was the keystone of the investigation? >> no, sir, that's not accurate. >> how important was it? what world would you use? >> it had no importance. we were not in possession of that information when we initiated the case. >> so when you initiated the case, christopher steele's dossier had nothing to do with your decision to go forward? >> that's correct

starting with hillary clinton. and then, of course, the investigation of the current president donald trump. how is it that the fbi decided to interfere in the election of not just one but two candidates for president of the united states? >> well, senator, i don't agree with your characterization of our work as having gone rogue. and i would also say that at no time while i was in the fbi did we make a decision to interfere in any presidential election. we -- >> did you -- did you participate in the discussions leading up to the july 5, 2016 press conference that director comey held on the email investigation? did you agree with that and did you support his decision to go public with that announcement? >> senator, i was a part of those decisions at the time. i supported it at the time. i feel very differently about it now. i'm happy to go into detail about that, if you'd like. >> and you understand that while you thought firing the fbi director may be some evidence of russian involvement with president trump, you'

barely 10,000 votes for donald trump over hillary clinton.hat are we going to be watching on tuesday night? what were the ingredients that went into 2016 and we want to see if they're still there for trump? there are a couple things here. this is wayne county, this is detroit, this is dearborn. this is core democratic territory. how strong is the turnout going to be? can democrats get a bigger turnout in wayne county than they got in 2016? black voters in particular a concern for democrats. they don't think they got the turnout that they need in 2016 from black voters. can they get that this time? this is one place we're going to be looking. another place, just north of detroit, there's two big counties right outside detroit going in different directions politically. oakland county, suburbs of detroit becoming a core democratic area. can democrats drive up the number here in oakland county? clinton won by eight, can they get to double digits here? and then how about mccomb county? they used to say home of the reagan democrats back in the earl

had open, ongoing investigation into the clinton administration, this why hillary clinton was running for president, she at the time was top democratic contender. what do you know about that? >> trey: i don't know a lot about the fbi investigation into the clinton administration. what most americans do, expect the fbi, gillian to treat everyone fairly. contract, we heard michael flynn was encouraged not to have a lawyer present, it would slow things down. contract that with the fact hillary clinton had a law firm with her when fbi deposed her. donald trump, they treated him like a suspect. my final point on treating people equally, americans don't like interference in elections. we don't want russia to do it directly or indirectly f. we're going to spend time investigating alleged collusion, is four hearings too much to figure out whether russian misinformation was laundered through british agent and -- >> gillian: talking about the steele dossier, trey? >> trey: if we're outraged by outside interference, be outraged by all of it. >> gillian: yeah. one thing mccabe said a few minutes

the incumbent president lost the race to democrat bill clinton. at this event took place in houston. thank you very much. thank you. thank you very, very much. listen, we've got to get going. thank you. thank you very much. thank you very much. thank you so much. here's the way i see it and the country should see, it that the people have spoken, and we respect the majesty of the democratic system. i was just told that president clinton -- he ran a strong campaign, i wish him well in the white house and i want the country to know that our entire administration will work closely with his team to ensure this mid transition of power. there is important work to be done and america must always come first. so we will get behind this new president and wish him well. and all who voted for, us voted for, me here, especially here, but all across the country, thank you for your support. and we have fought the good fight and we have kept the faith and i believe i have held the honor of the presidency of the united states. [applause] now i ask that we stand beh

if you look at the exit polls for 2016, hillary clinton won by 30 points.you look at texas for instance, there was a poll there this week that still showed a very healthy democratic lead with latino voters. the shift that we're seeing in some of the polls among latino voters in florida, do you think that is a florida specific shift driven largely by cuban americans and sort of a longer standing allegiance to the republican party that's kind of reasserting itself, or is there a broader movement that you could see the potential for in other states like texas or arizona? >> both. on the one hand there was a very specific targeting by the trump campaign not just in the last year or two, but in the last three actually tovotere evoters florida, many of them evangelicals. they've also had a broader base in the state of texas. what we're not talking about and what i'm really focusing on is the youth vote. latinos and latinas between the ages of 18-27 right now have the highest rate of actually showing up and doing the early voting. who's actually polling those numb

presidential candidate hillary clinton's approval of a plan concerning u.s. presidential candidate donald trump and russian hackers hampering the selection as a means of distracting the public from her use of a private metal service. how many agents were assigned to investigate that? >> senator, if you are referring to the memorandum, the raw intelligence memorandum recently declassified by the dni, i have read that memorandum and i don't understand it to be a request for investigative activity, i'm not aware thatta any agents were assigned to investigate --ga >> timeout, you get a memo in investigative lead with the cia call it, alleging that hillary clinton has signed off on a plan t tie trump to russia for political purposes, how many people looked at that, how many agents were assigned to see if it's true or not did you know about it?? >> i was not aware of the memorandum. >> timeout. >> you get a cia memo investigative lead memo suggesting that the democratic candidate for president hillary clinton is trying to divert attention from her e-mail server pro

the polling suggested the impeachment of clinton was a big overreach by august of 98 people wanted clinton to be centered to get back to governing. >> overreaches the right word. that's exactly what happened. in a way clinton let him overreach to save you want to shut down the government he will take the blame for it and it happened twice. the republicans got blamed i'm sure clinton did not want to be impeached but it was in overreach seen by americans as a stupid fight between two baby boomers over sex and not public policy. the reaction to that was harmful as he was seen as a guy who pushed down the path. by the end of 1998 democrats pick up seats contrary to what you would expect newt gingrich is blamed by this plot by those in his own party and he is gone. for years after the contract with america, it's all over in that sense. newt gingrich is sitting down in his home district in georgia and clinton is sitting in the white house gingrich says to somebody "so he broke a lot and perjured himself he's in the white house and i'm down here. what happened? that's what happened. host: with th

and in a way, bill clinton let him overreach. bill clinton basically says you want to shut down the government. it happens twice and the republicans got the blame for it. and i'm sure bill clinton didn't want to be impeached but it was in overreach. it was seen by americans as basically a stupid fight between two baby boomers over public policy and the reaction to that was harmful because newt gingrich is seen as the guy that pushed it down that path and so by the end of 1998, there's an election and the democrats took up seeds contrary to what you would expect in the middle of the second term of the incumbent president. newt gingrich is blamed by many in his own party and he's gone. so for years after the contract with america, it's all over in that sense. and he is sitting in his home district and bill clinton is in the white house and newt gingrich says to somebody i quote in the book is quoted as saying so bill clinton broke the law and purged himself and he's in washington in the white house and i'm down here, what happened

there or in the case of south san antonio is doing a lot better than hillary clinton did there and he is also cutting into some of the republican margins in places like harris county in houston as well so. at this stage you would say not enough to flip the state but it makes it very very interesting that number on its own says it's interesting as well when you look back in the history have a closer look at these hillary clinton and donald trump 10 percent between them. 4 years ago that's a small gap when you compare to previously when barack obama only had 41 percent against mitt romney's $57.00 so hillary clinton had already been now we're going to get 4 years ago the democrats have been making their inroads and clearly joe biden is building on that in and around the suburban areas would it be enough to flip texas that would be a political earthquake territory and would change the whole map completely we are not obviously at that stage we are at 38 percent of precincts reporting there so the state of the race as it is right now donald trump has 50 percent of the popular vote joe bide

hillary clinton.ing to be her turn. he will be running not just against the party and the establishment but really against someone who had been a key supporter. the clintons were big supporters of barack obama when he came into the senate. >> hillary clinton, first lady, united states senator. very competent, very capable united states senator. she was not some fly-by-night political hack. here you had this sort of upstart, two-term state senator from illinois who no one knew, african american, and we all know the history of black folks and white folks in this country. so, you know, why would you dance on that pinhead? >> a new poll has hillary clinton now trouncing her closest challenger, barack obama, by 33 points. for the first time -- >> that's a big problem for her challengers who complain that her campaign and a lot of her media coverage gives the impression that she is already somehow the nominee. >> senator, hillary clinton widened her lead, a 30-point lead. i have to ask. does it concern you

he was actually stricken in hillary clinton's office.tary of state's office which was a fitting finale and high drama characteristic of him. a few weeks later, his widow offered me his personal papers and i knew holbrooke a bit, not very well. and i thought i have a chance to explore a flamboyant, mesmerizing, maddening character whose career covered a half century from kennedy to obama, from vietnam to afghanistan through an intimate look at his diaries and letters and other papers. so, i said yes without really quite knowing why i'd said yes. holbrooke, as soon as i began to read those letters and some of them, as you say, judy, he began his career in vietnam, the mekong delta where the war was at its hottest in 1963. as soon as i read the letters through his first wife i knew i made a good choice. he was such a good writer, so intelligent, observant and funny, arrogant, a guy who could fill a book or maybe more. his ammunition was kind of a demonic engine there from the very start and got him into very high places and led to some triu

hillary clinton hillary clinton hillary clinton did not use the same rat no 7 jack i'm not going to let you do that here she did not use the same rhetoric that donald trump was do you want me to read all of his tweets can i just care about what it is that it's going to go ahead. promise you hillary clinton told joe budden the results of this election regardless that bothers me now maybe she could say more smoothly. but she still says so don't act like the ok so hold on that but the little sonia ok here's your dear boiling this down to just a matter of style you know it's a lot more than that what donald trump's rhetoric it is incendiary it is not just a difference in style between the 2 well then you certainly would be in agree the violence in america because look. at all so you can go. those that suits call it that's who's on the windows and looting so i'm still trying to keep pivoting to all these other issues that have nothing to do with what i'm trying to ask you no no no no no no the protests over the summer riots are short term the protests over the summer that's not about wha

and bill clinton realizes, newt gingrich has a point, the country has moved to the right and i move the democratic party to the right and i'm going to move it more there, he moves to the center and plants of flag in the center in the years between 1994 in 1996 and basically takes over that part of the country of the ideological spectrum by basically moving toward newt gingrich not fighting him, that turned out to be very successful. >> i think people in washington at the time don't remember how this completely reoriented everything at one point bill clinton actually stands up and declares the president is still relevant. >> and he also declares somewhere along the same stretch the year that the government is over. he basically decides i'm going to best newt gingrich by basically following him to the right and he takes the democratic party there with him and it takes a while, newt gingrich was the dominant force in town, i tell one of the antidotes in the book that with the wall street journal during this period discovered because a leadership survey and the focus groups that an old-

it was bill clinton. bill clinton realized gingrich has a point. the country is moved to the right. i am going to move the democratic party low bed. according to move her mother crazily moves to the center any plants a flag in the center in the years between 1994 and 1996. basically takes over that part of the country in the ideological spectrum. i basically moving towards gingrich, finding him. but that turns out to be very successful. karen: think people can watch in washington at the time, they probably don't remember have this completely was reoriented everything . one point bill clinton actually says evan declares the president is still relevant. gerald: also by the way along the same stretch of the year of the government. so he basically, decides that i am going to best basically by following him to the right. and he takes the democratic party with him there. it takes a while. because gingrich was a dominant force in town . in one of the anecdotes that have given in the book is during this period we discovered, we do focus groups and such. that in the fashion of the wall stree

had 3 million more 01’ hillary clinton had 3 million more or less hillary clinton had 3 million moremore votes hillary clinton had 3 million more or less more votes than donald trump, yet he won the election then. is it trying to abolish the electoral college therefore? i don't think so, and it also happened in 2000 when al gore had more popular votes. as laura points out, it's been a tradition but also a tradition for the sake of tradition. it was done by the founding fathers who wrote the constitution. to protect minorities, to protect minorities, to protect minorities in different pockets. beware of the tyranny of the majority. there is a risk that if the majority was leading without regard to minorities, whether that's ethnic minorities orjust minorities based on geography or types of business they're m, or types of business they're in, there is the urban majority versus the rural minorities, for example. so, that was important to protect minorities. so, you don't think it should be abolished? we had somebody on social media say how hard would it be to dump the electoral college.

>> i mean the expectations for hillary clinton can be anything.e it tonight in the series, who just never took no for an answer, no matter how many times she was told she could or should not. she did. i mean, her tenure as first lady, she became the first, first lady to be directly involved in policy. and got a lot of backlash for it quite frankly. for her and we will see it tonight, going forward, pushing bounda boundaries, breaking through, that is always what she has done, she was not certain whether she wanted to take the back seat to bill clinton and her life, she hesitated marrying him as a matter of fact and just doing so, prevented had err from doing the things she wanted to do. but as we all have seen, she certainly is forged ahead no matter how many times or who told her she couldn't and here story is quite a remarkable one as a first lady. >> it is, and also tonight, there's another new episode about lady bird johnson. it was on this day back in 1963, that her husband, lyndon johnson was president of the united states following the assa

bill clinton inherited it at the terrible state in bosnia. it's not baker's finest hour and it shows something about the limits of his cold eyed realism because the difference is holbrook had a passionate sense that america had to be involved in bosnia's of the world that if we let the countrybleed , it would eventually become our problem. it would possibly rupture the transatlantic alliance. it was not a no consequence. weactually did have a dog in the fight . he committed himself to that and he did it in a way that showed he really did care about other countries and people in places whose names we can't pronounce who are suffering in civil war and has refugeesand in floods and famine this was something that characterized him throughout his career . he had passionate . street that was activated by the suffering in the balkans as was his very son of postwar harriman patterson, kennan says that america had really and so he didn't want to stop until he had a deal and as peter mentioned is exactly what bosnia brought out in him. the same qualiti

bill clinton inherited it at ampere of the stage and bosnia. not baker's finest hour to show something about the limits of his realism. the difference is holbrooke had a passionate sense that america had to be involved in the world. if we let that country bleed it would essentially become our problem and would possibly rupture the transatlantic alliance. it was not of no consequence. we exited at the dog in that fight and that less holbrooke committed himself to that and he did it in a way that shows he really didn't care about other countries and people and places whose names we can't pronounce who are suffering in civil war and as refugees and floods and famine. this is something that characterizes him throughout his career. a passionate humanitarian streak and that was activated by his suffering as was his very post-war acheson kennan sense that america had the lead. he was not going to stop until you deal and the recklessness that peter mentioned was what was brought out of in him. the same qualities did not work out in other places but in

, and pennsylvania, the state hillary clinton lost by .8% or less. but since they will not decide in 2016, i would go by ap calls. pennsylvania was not called until 135 time in the morning eastern. -- 1:35 in the morning eastern. so i am looking at these earlier states on the way and these are big states. -- it could bee the one that will tell us who the next president of the united states is because florida reports really quickly. they have cleaned up their act a lot since 2000. if the president comes up short in florida, then, you know, the night is over and the same thing as and ohio and i would kind of say that in georgia. because biden is going to start off with the 232. big three, michigan, wisconsin, and pennsylvania, i think michigan and wisconsin, biden is in really good shape. think, you know, i do not -- people keep talking about a contested election. i think the contested elections will be in the senate, where there will be legal hand-to-hand combat over a bunch of these senate seats when we get past november 3. host: let's get alan in on

hillary clinton wanted to be the first female secretary of state but in the end clinton said to al gore don't think holbrooke has the self-awareness to keep it relation shows from becoming toxic. that was assured analysis of his character. holbrooke understood the person across the table whether it was slow but on mullahs of its -- slow but on mullahs a bit. he couldn't see himself or laugh at himself that he couldn't see himself as others saw him. there was a kind of lifelong blindness to his own flaws in his own character that i think was a fatal flaw that meant he could negotiate but when there was an obstacle that lay in himself he didn't go know how to get around it and that was what ended his relationship with barack obama. holbrooke was trying to lecture him and flatter him and talking about yet non-and this ancient guarantor coming to grab the young present by the lapels and say i know and obama couldn't stand it to holbrooke did not know why none of his charms were working with this sterling young president who he wanted to impress. that was the reason why he never got that job

this time 4 years ago hillary clinton was in the late. if fact most of the people in this poll they will certainly went to bed thinking she'd won but that clearly wasn't the case joe biden ahead in the polls but it's not guaranteed is it that he might win. it's certainly not guaranteed i would say that our polls are much better than they were in 2016 and frankly the polls weren't that bad in 2016 the the margin of error all polls have a margin of error and it was much closer in 2016 than it is this time there are still a lot of those swing states that are within a margin of error which looks really concerning who if you're joe biden you don't have this thing quite locked up yet will just have to wait and see well let me bring in adolfo franco it is the swing states that this battle is taking place and . don't trump seems to be pulling out as many stops as he can to try and get those people to vote for him but off the 4 years has anything changed in those swing states in his favor. when from my perspective they have changed in his in his f

during the clinton presidency, 10. during the george bush administration, four, during the obama administration, 17, and i don't know if everyone is keeping count of that, but that is about 30 altogether. administration, 344. it has been very difficult for the president to fill his executive branch with people that work for him. i have gone on a long time, but i have seen erosion of the power of the presidency, and i have looked through jack and bob's many and i see many, additional restrictions being suggested, and i don't think that's necessarily a good thing for the presidency or for the constitution. i am turning it over to neil edison at this point. you.ank ed, right? you, judgeted, thank jones, for your introduction at the beginning. i am honored to have been invited to be a participant on this panel by the federalist society. it is quite a distinguished panel, and the topic is timely and quite important. for those of you who did not pay any attention to my biography when it was red, i want to remind people that

the president higher than hillary clinton, but no third party candidate. it is definitely a two candidate race. if joe biden stays at 53, move it up a little in clark county, you stay in clark county, given it is 70% of the vote, you'll likely win the state. >> look at arizona. we are waiting for more numbers from arizona. you point out, biden's lead shrunk a bit. >> we can show you that if you

it crashed all the way down to clinton by three points in 2016.his typified the kind of gains donald trump made in states like pennsylvania, ohio, wisconsin in 2016. biden, the guy from scranton who built his entire campaign around it, okay, it's better than clinton, okay, it helps him win the state, but he's nowhere in the ballpark of what democrats could pull off in lackawanna county eight years ago. so i think one of the stories in this election, those shifts on the map, the gains donald trump made in 2016, he solidified an awful lot of them. and if he is going to lose to pennsylvania, it does end up, has lost to wisconsin, ice not because he's lost a ton of those votes. i think the suburban areas, heavily republican in wisconsin, heavily trending in pennsylvania, in both cases, that's where you see movement. that's where you see biden significantly, i would say, increasing the support from hillary clinton. that's where he wins those states. it's not in trump country. >> so, yeah. i mean we're waiting on pennsylvania, and the biden campaign rea

we talked about that a lot. >> one of the other women who succeeded you was hillary clinton.s the nature of your relationship with her? >> me go back to something, you asked about becoming secretary of state, why did it happen when i finally became secretary of state? traveling with president clinton and he said, in this thing, every would go to him and say why wouldn't you? they were better than everybody else and decided to make your mother happy so i owe it all to her. i think happened, there were always jokes always elinor roosevelt and eleanor roosevelt was very active at the un and hillary would come up and i would introduce her around to the other ambassadors, we got to be very good friends one of the things i'm always asked about his life balance. there's this truth of how difficult it is. it was a woman conference happening and she wanted me to go with her. i had to leave my youngest daughter's wedding reception to get on a plane to go to the conference. i admired her greatly, we did a lot of things together. when i was secretary, one was a very important ambassador
