mrs. clinton: i did imagine it. [laughter] [applause] mrs. clinton: but i know exactly what andrea means. because it has always been a pressure cooker in the white house from the very beginning. when abigail adams was hanging up wash in the east room, dolly madison was rescuing the gilbert stuart portrait of george washington from the advance of the british soldiers during the war of 1812, and so many other stories. and it is such a great personal pleasure for me to be here with all of you in honor of betty, who, as andrea rightly said, was someone who i looked up to, who i followed, and who, in my opinion, was one of the most transformational americans of the last half of the 20th century. i didn't say first ladies, i said americans. because of what she did and how she did it. i have to go back a little bit. gerald ford was my first boss in politics. [laughter] mrs. clinton: yes. in the summer of 1968, i was an intern, a junior at wellesley. and tried out for this program where we would spend about eight weeks in washington, and i would assig

mrs. clinton: but she was so important. when her biography, which i heard is being written consent, new generations of americans, both young men and women, we'll learn more about waslife, which in many ways a shining example of the change in women's lives. that is the final thing i would say. you know, seeing her with the martha graham dance company, it is thrilling. seeing her then back home and eventually marrying this g.i. -- ex-ung, x g.i., who went to law school where i went, i have a lot of remembrances of gerald ford, and then starting their life, and him getting elected to congress and they are off to the races, never knowing or expecting that history would put him and her in the white house, but boy am i glad it did. because although it is controversial in some quarters, i think what jerry ford did in pardoning richard nixon was an extraordinary act of not only personal generosity and courage, but putting country over party in the most obvious and important way. goes through ups and downs, in case you haven't notic

mrs. clinton: thank you. thank you. thank you all. thank you. -- it is great being back here.t is kind of like a family reunion. being here brings back good inories of the first debate 2016 against the republican nominee. a little bit like a reunion, but the kind where you get cornered by that one person you least want to talk to. despite that, it was a great night. mostly because i want. but those are the good old days. i was thinking, i also remember so fondly being at this convention in 2000 when i became your nominee for the united states senate. footsteps of the daniel patrick moynihan, someone whose words have been on my mind recently. he said "everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not his on ."cts as democrats, we believe in facts. real ones, not the alternative ones. it is hard to believe it needs to be said, but that is where we are today. that is why you are at this convention helping to chart the future for new york. there is a question i hear a lot. what do democrats stand for? look around the room. you see people who stand for an economy that works for ever

mrs. clinton, dare to to compete. i felt like all, all of the worries and, that i had been having, i had to face them and i been somebody who encouraged women to run for office. i support ad lot of women candidates. ian was really proud of them, ad now this young woman was telling me that. so i eventually, i decided to run t was a great, it was a great campaign and i loved being a senator for eight years. and then something similar started happening around 2006. people began coming to me and saying you should think about running for president. you should think about this i was pretty unconvinced. i thought, you know, i just can't even, i can't think about this. and again though, people kept sort of confronting me. and i had to say to myself, do you not want to do it or are you afraid of doing it? and i concluded i was kind of afraid of doing it. and so if that was the reason, i would be somewhat hypocritical, particularly in front of women anyways afraid to run and i began seriously think about doing it.

clintons out there? >> but do you think they will be helpful? mr. poersch: absolutely, starting with president clinton and there being a record, there certainly continues to be a strong level of support for hillary clinton. i expect to see them out there and i think the clintons will always be helpful. david: one reason the question is asked is because republicans have already been running ads digitally and on tv against hillary clinton, who is not running for anything. what is your response, one has run against hillary and her comments. there is an effort by republicans every time the clintons say something off script. mr. poersch: it is a tired campaign tool, but things change and the irony is that republicans have been challenged by unpopular leaders in their own party and in these primaries, it won't surprise me to some extent in the general, it is popular republicans getting more talked about whether mitch mcconnell or paul ryan. david: on that, how much do you want to run against mitch mcconnell? we saw in alabama last year a lot of unique fact

mr. clinton didn't want to testify in a civil deposition, and the supreme court said, no, you have to do it. i just think mr. giuliani is wrong. mr. trump seems to believe that he has the kind of power supreme to other branches, and that's a myth, and i think that's inaccurate, and it's something i hope we'll see play out in a fairway. >> giuliani was also asked whether to avoid testifying, the president might plead the fifth. listen to this. >> how could i ever be confident of that? when i'm facing a situation with the president and all the other lawyers are, and which every lawyer in america thinks he would be a fool to testify. i've got a client who wants to testify. he said it yesterday. jay and i said to ourselves, i hope we get a chance to tell him the risk that he's taking. >> just a reminder what the president has said in the past about anyone who pleads the fifth. listen to this. >> have you seen what's going on in front of congress? fifth amendment, fifth amendment, fifth amendment. horrib horrible. horrible. if you're innocent, why are you taking the fifth amendment? when you

mrs. clinton's. >> right. i do want to go become to that point you raised about president trump's attorney, rudy giuliani. he said special counsel robert mueller could end his investigation of trump by september 1 if the president agrees to an interview. and he said the office shared its timeline with him about a month ago. how likely is that? how likely it is that mr. trump would agree to such an interview to bring this to a close? >> well, it would bring one part of it to a close, which was the president's own possible culpability, which i've always wondered about. i don't -- i'm not sure it ever got up that high. but it's also not clear mr. trump will testify. i mean, his lawyers who have now quit, most of them, quit because they wanted him not to testify. and they thought he would open himself up to more vulnerability if he did so, not necessarily proved wrongdoing, but that mueller's investigation but that mr. trump could speak through his lawyers. trump wants to do it. he says he wants to do it. and giul

mr. clinton campaigned, his candidates lost. and in the rest of the country, democrats didn't even want the it is normal for the president's party to lose ground. sometimes to lose a lot of ground. the only real exception to that rule in modern times was after 9/11, when the shock of that attack and the transformation of the country and our politics thereafter were seen as highly unusual factors that kept republicans from losing seats they might have otherwise been expected to lose in the 2002 midterms. with those extenuating circumstances, republicans really didn't lose ground in that first george w. bush midterm. but, republicans arguably paid double the next time around in 2006. after george w. bush got re-elected in '04, his party lost control of both the house and the senate in 2006. and that's the pattern of how it usually goes in midterms. the party that holds the white house usually has a bad night on midterm election nights. and that's one way to think about the elections that are coming up this year, in historical cont

mr. clinton -- president clinton, those are hefty speaking fees. i wish somebody would pay me that much to give talks like that, but that was a private bank in russia and it is connecting dots that are not there. because he went to speak for an investment bank in russia, that deal was done -- i -- that is a conspiracy i wish we would put to bed. it is not true. michael are talking to author -- professor and author of the new book "from cold war to hot peace -- an american ambassador in putin's russia." steve has been waiting on the independent line from milwaukee, wisconsin. steve, go ahead. steve, are you with us? fran, jacksonville, florida. for democrats. -- line for democrats. caller: yes, i heard a story in the last two months about russians expelled or not allowed in the u.s. coming in, one night, more than one of them, meeting with some trumped administration people -- trump administration people, and i want to know if mr. mcfaul knew anything about that. how this people got in, what they were here for, and i was just interested in that stor

mrs. clinton. mr.rump's eldest son arranged the meeting and did not tell his father about it when it happened. another critic, what involvement did you have in the medication strategy, including the release of donald trump, jr.'s emails. when the times found out about the meeting, donald trump omitted the true purpose of the meeting after the times obtained the younger mr. trump's emails and publish them -- a host of other questions when it comes to issues of james comey, michael flynn, other topics there as well. that in the new york times this michael majestic show you some of the questions, including the discussions had it during the campaign. president trump tweeting a response to this story saying, "so disgraceful the questions concerning the russia witchhunt where leaked to the media -- were leaked on the media. collusion that never existed, and an investigation begun with illegaly leaked information." michael, cleveland, ohio. guest: hi. on the americaea first concept is the basic philosophy of

mrs. clinton elected before she ever became president. oh, she didn't become president. of the people out there oft times is not red correctly. we've seen that in recent elections. stuart: your opponent in november, that person running with nancy pelosi or running against her? >> well there are six democrats currently running against me. they are various degrees of far left. i think, the terms of independents, we have a lot of independents in oklahoma city. some of them are running more to the middle but we continue to show you that democratic party in oklahoma, they nominated bernie sanders for the presidential nominee, not necessarily because they liked communism but because they didn't like mrs. clinton. so there is a real dilemma there. stuart: do you think bernie sanders is a communist? >> socialist is probably the more accurate word but you know, all i know is if he became president i would have loved to have been his secretary of free stuff. i'm not sure how that was going to be paid for. stuart: you got to you, an oklahoma republican, any democrat is a come my pi

there is an effort by republicans every time the clintons say something off script. mr. poersch: it is a tired campaign tool, but things change and the irony is that republicans have been challenged by unpopular leaders in their own party and in these primaries, it won't surprise me ,o some extent in the general it is popular republicans getting more talked about whether mitch mcconnell or paul ryan. david: on that, how much do you want to run against mitch mcconnell? last year aabama lot of unique factors, but the exit poll coming out of that was that republican voters were not fond of mitch mcconnell. is there any way to make the selection a leadership choice between democrats and mitch mcconnell? mr. poersch: that question has two answers. be so shown himself to unpopular nationally because he is unpopular with both democrats and republicans, which is unusual. as a result, his leadership has ability toed and his impact republican primaries have been undercut. a national issue, it isn't so much mitch mcconnell as the leadership in washington and the leadership in congr

mrs. clinton and candidate trump and even during portions of his presidency, recent ones, he talks and thinks he is going to take back almost immediately as if videotapes don't exist, as the radios don't exist, as though nothing exists except what he wants to believe. of course he said that on radio and said that. he now comes back -- i don't think he knows nothing about the iraqi war. he knows as much as the guy waving the placard that says get out of nicaragua. >> he knows one important thing which it was not a success. it was a failure after it was a success the way you describe under a different president, george w. bush fought back to victory and obama pulled out. that is something trump believes in deeply, success. something he shares with americans. i don't know that americans have a particular concern or particular views about the answer to the question how deeply do we want to be involved overseas. the answer most people want to know is can we win? can we succeed? >> we are winning now. >> we fail to define success for so long. >> one thing that was successful about the latest syria
