Facebook. Com booktv. There has been no experience more challenging, more rewarding and more humbling than raising our daughter. And we have learned that to raise a happy, healthy and hopeful child it takes a family. It takes teachers. It takes clergy. It takes business people. It takes community leaders. It takes those who protect our health and safety. It takes all of us. [applause]. To raise the village you dont just make family come you dont need each other in the community can you need a president and you need no clinton. Host amie parnes, what do you hear . Guest pioneer and a strong message of what she is trying to put out today, which is stronger together. Her Newest Campaign message, she has had quite a few of them. This is not made where she is trying to reach out and send her populist message and say we are all in this together me. It is interesting to hear what she had to say that anakin carrots two where she is today. Host hasnt been consistent . Guest when you read this book, it is consistent on one level, but it actually is a little bit archaic and very much used in another sense. Host gil troy, what does Hillary Clinton mean . Guest she is saying im not the crazy leftist you think i am. People look at her as the one who they are not sure if bill clinton has been very clear in his injuries. Im trying to update the Democratic Party after the challenges of the reagan era. This is the 1996 after the failure of the Health Care Reform, her attempt to be the copresident. She comes in and says i am one of you. Part of the mainstream conversation and yet i also have an she goes to dallas in switzerland and gives a speech about three pillars. First 60s liberals were talking about family. Two or three weeks after the book was published was when bill clinton gave his famous the era of Big Government is over speech. It was a big moment right then to declare, as she did in this book, im a moderate. Well have some conservative values of the liberal values that we are mostly moderate. That was the message in it takes a village were surprisingly you see a real streak of social conservatism in the story. She didnt have to reintroduce herself good she is sort of in the thick of this health care if i appear people had strong heard. This is about who she is and who she wanted to portray for the American People. Guest i think she was traumatized. She wants to show that she can be a first lady. You see a cliche in the process being born. 1983, 1994. It takes a village of hillarys branding and a target to the American People to say im important, but also we can have a conversation together. It comes up. The clip view shows the conventions beach. She got taken nine months after the book was published. She came back to it takes a village when she launched her president ial campaign. She came back to it when she launched the 2016th campaign. People sort of finish the sentence order now. Actually much better than bill clinton did it takes a village, vast rightwing conspiracy, Glass Ceiling for him. She is created all these cliches. Bill clinton as the one, the touch, but the same works in it she does. Host lets take a look at her skirt when it teamed president ial election. They reject what it takes to build an inclusive economy. It takes an inclusive. [cheers and applause] what i once called a village that has a place for everyone. Now my values and a lifetime of experiences have given me a different vision for america. I believe that success is in my shared a home much the wealthiest american path, but by how many children climb out of poverty. Host Carlos Lozada in a recent review of it takes a Village Company wrote that it takes a village often becomes code for it takes washington. Guest or gas. She spent a lot of time talking about the experiences and successes of a small nonprofit group, local initiatives, that she very much comes back to, so you need the family medical leave act, the crime bill, the vaccination initiatives federal government has undertaken. She is trying to thread the needle because she is not going to give up to praise the successes, as she sees them, that the clinton at ministration has had or was pushing at the time. At the same time, she tried to localize them when possible. Throughout the book, you see a flood of praise for what people would conventionally call Big Government, big washington initiatives, including some that have come back to bite her in this campaign and the crime bill. What shes doing is clintonesque and away. She asserted in fighting academia, private sector. This is something the clintons do all the time. We see it in everything theyve done throughout history. They believe in bringing everyone together. They dont believe government can solve everything. Everyone can come together and form solutions. This is a very interesting idea shes putting forward, a continuation of what they believe in. Is almost a radical rewrite of the rhetoric of 1960 same family as good. Divorce is bad. Promiscuity is a problem here and for a long time in the 60s, 70s and 80s, dallas can everyday talk. We can talk about family values because we are people who also value family. One thing you see in this clip. Trying to assert herself in to find her identity. Who are you . She is constantly changing and people dont trust back. Its a very strange thing because when bill clinton when bill clinton reinvested himself come he do that all the time. There is some sexism in there, too. Cons to the likability question in this election cycle, why isnt she likable . She had him out last week where she said people dont trust her. She is aiming to gain that trust back. Its one of the biggest questions that looms over her candidacy. Why cant she quite get there . Why isnt she likable enough . That is something she has to constantly work towards. The likability and trustworthiness. If he did a soul scan of bill clinton and Hillary Clinton, you would find a purer soul than Hillary Clinton. She is more of a good methodist. That makes it difficult to be a politician. Conveying this discomfort with being a politician. In the moment is make in the eye contact. Hes living is so completely that he can live many lives. Her honesty makes her seem less trustworthy. Shes almost quoting don wesley. This is a woman who strongly believes in the wesleyan principles that she is a Public Servant and shes been nice to do good and when donald trump you dont have to look very far and be aware of the origins are. Also in our subsequent by morris, especially in living history, she talks a lot about the influence her church had on her when she was young. But there is this defensiveness in the vote in this attempt every definition. In the 92 campaign there was the famous incident where she was the first lady who had a graduate degree, if im not mistaken, and shes talking about being a professional. I couldve stayed home and made cookies and had tea parties, but i chose to exercise my professional capabilities long before my husband was in public life. She made this big statement. In it takes a village, she sort of apologizes for it. Not entirely, but she called it the teacup in the tempest or Something Like that. She says yes, im a pressure of cookies and ive served hundreds of cups of tea, but i shouldnt be judged by my cookie making her to serving abilities. But she didnt realize at the time when she made those statements of people would interpret them as judgments on their own life choices. Throughout that, i can see this effort would sometimes come across as the fear of making trouble. The hippocratic oath of the first lady is first do no harm. Especially given she has done so much harm. You can even see some signature stories are sanitized and not vote. She loves to tell the story about the kid in the neighborhood and she came running in and mama clayton said it out. Im not letting you back in until you deal with this. She says i doubt this in the book. In it takes a village, she wants to beat palmer, more cautious. Theres a certain tragedy of who she really is just and fair. Her first memoir is much more honest. It is deadly because she didnt want iraq about. Host amie parnes, if someone picked up the name team 86 1996, it takes a village, with a recognizer . At the touchstone of who she is. Parts of it are a little bit murkier. A lot of bad in society has changed so some of what shes saying applies to the 1990s in a big way. Her face is a big pillar as you mentioned nec little glimpses. She talks about divorce and how she had to bite her lip a little bit to sort of keep their marriage together. That might strike people reading it today as if you are in an uncomfortable situation, why not leave it. There are these other things that same 20 years ago. Maybe she might have a different take on that sort of pressure. And she judges people who get divorced in this very direct way she says sometimes till death do us part being until the going gets rough. She holds up the relationship that she and bill have, of course before the big scandals of the late 90s as saying we found ways to sometimes bite her lip, but to Work Together in the fact that we had chelsea deep in that commitment. The intense cultural critique of what america has become. A strong sense of nostalgia for a father knows best. She is looking at america and she had given a series of speeches talking about politics that meeting, and now shes trying to make it a little bit calm air, a little bit more domesticated. Theres something going on in the country thats wrong. She talks about the backlash against hollywood and the backlash against the music videos in the backlash against the Recording Industry and fighting crime. We have to be sensitive to that and sympathetic to her. You have to understand the context. In the 1990s, bill clinton says americans elect their enough fun house and they are unnerved by it. Crime is off the charts. Welfare is a problem not just for whites, but africanamericans according to the welfare reform bill. Weve got to fix it. Weve got a tape democratic ideas, democratic ties and sympathize them with culture and fix this world. Postcode is not surprising Hillary Clinton wrote in 1996 that there is a yearning for the good old days as refuge from the problems of the present. By turning away, we blind ourselves to the continuing, evolving presence of the village in our lives and critical importance for how we live together. She talks about nostalgia merchants, very dismissive, saying we are not going to go back to this world. First of all, it wasnt all that. Second, the world has changed. At the same time, she criticizes the kids in the 1990s for not recognizing the sacrifices and the end meant that their elders i. E. Of the Hillary Clinton generation that entered the workforce, that transforms the role of women. She feels a little hurt in the book that people dont remember that. They take these advances for granted. At the same time she wishes they were a little bit worse nostalgic. I was particularly struck by a she talks about this idea of a Nuclear Family as in you look at her announcement video last year and it is this very progressive look at a single mom who has to do her best. If you wouldve talked to Hillary Clinton about what she wrote back bad about a Nuclear Family, i speak as a single mom that we moved a lot. There are families and Single Parents and that doesnt mean your kid is any less successful. I would like to know looking back if she has any ideas into shes involved in the way politicians view back then. Host in reality, our past was not so pictureperfect. Africanamerican children who grew up in the segregated society for immigrants who struggled to survive in sweatshops and tenements are women whose life choices were circumscribed and whose work was underpaid. Ask those who grew up in the pictureperfect houses about the secrets and aspirations they sometimes feel. This is attention. Shes trying to say we miss that period, but we have to acknowledge one of the things thats always next to Hillary Clinton is a picture of Hillary Clinton from the 1970s with the big heavy glasses, the brunette. Shes not a blonde. She hasnt gone from being Hillary Rodham to Hillary Rodham clinton. Shes trying to say i am not that hippy. Im not that radical. But at the same time, we did some good stuff. Its a very complicated message because all too often in Politics Today is its red, blue, right, left. This book is more subtle. One of the challenges shes having right now is in 2000 she could white males as she was running against the blackmail. Theres racism in america today. Right now shes trying to say when she wins super tuesday, she gives a speech in talks about reaching out to single women and africanamericans. How is she also reaching out to the donald trump voters . That is a challenge for her in the general election she sped away and those white male voters, too. Its always been her weak spot. Problematic when she was first lady. Only through the clinton trauma of the Monica Lewinsky scandal was she able to reach out to them by going to work. In 2000 issue is able to reach out. How does she articulate that . There are some secrets in this book that might help her to find the cultural conservatism that trump is planning. Host what is one of the seat is . Guest one of the secrets of families count. There were some good times back then. Donald trump gets up and does not make america. Everybody goes great again. Hillary clinton says their silence. Now shes trying to play with we are still great. What she wants to do is find some of the power from the past so she also appreciate that, but with the synthesis of the goodness of the president because donald trump is all about reject them today. Theres some good in the challenge for a politician to sing a new song that says this will resonate to create a new future. Host if you are donald trump, would you read it takes a village . I would. I dont think he will. But it gives you a sense of where she was and how far she has come and maybe some in consistencies in between. I think it gives you a good portrayal of who she was back then and the pillars of who she is. At the art of video is Donald Trumps foundational document, it takes a village is absolutely Hillary Clinton. Except, unlike part of the deal, b. C. Tension. You see laden. You see her groping for the synthesis of herself. Trump is strong. He is just sort of a trump your version methods of. In this book, hillary as wrestling. In this campaign she had this famous moment when shes faster your progressive than the answer is yes im a progressive, but progress is like to get things done. That suggests a mix of ideology and pragmatism. That is what you see in this book. She talks about the famous Community Organizer from the 60s and 70s. That was infamous. She learned from it, but she said im going to go to jail law school. The real tragedy about the donald trump and his advisers as they will just read it for how can we embarrass. Your question was how can anyone help us go forward because our major challenge in america right now as we are really good at knocking each other down and denigrating and got you. But what we want . What are we searching for . Make America Great is that enough. We need to know who we are. One of the biggest lessons, she talks about the shuttle and what it means. When we were writing our book, i originally wanted to call it phoenix because she has had these steps involve. Here she is again. How did she make her comeback . This sort of gives you a window into rethinking. Her father always said how are you going to dig yourself out of this one, hillary . She is at that point link. It speaks to who she is here she wants to make her way back up and she wants to portray herself as this tough fighter. In that sense i feel like this was a very sort of rare insight into who she is. Host she goes on to say she gets this image of meeting the shovel and using this shovel to dig herself out. And she is not one, what we learned from their writing our book, she is not one who will pull herself in her bathroom and cried. Shes very much a woman who says that is so rare. Looking on, how do we move onto the next day. She doesnt wallow. Shes very much looking to the future. When people around her wallow, she tries to pick them up. Host amie parnes, trade for companies both written books. But is the process like . Thats a very complicated question. I think it is hired to find Hillary Clinton at times. We spent a year on our first up, a little over a year talking to closest advisers. By the end, i had a bit of a glimpse that we had cracked part of who she was. You are always trying to dig a little deeper and find out who she is. Her friends say that she keeps it very tightly held on purpose because she is who she is. Shes been in the spotlight for so long and this is her way of keeping hers up almost intact and not revealing not. Shes almost afraid to show that side of her. Everyone has a story about how she is so funny behindthescenes and a warm and her aides talk about how her uncle was dying, she was the first to call the uncle are first agreed. You seldom see that side of her publicly. You see a behind the scenes marked, but shes so afraid to show Hillary Clinton on the public stage. Has a story and im trying to understand the public Hillary Clinton. I will interview her and unlike my friends i dont need to interview her because i want to see writing a book about the 1990s. Where did she fit into the story the Clinton Administration . So theyre in some ways its easy and hard. So much information. Shes such a colorful character. She is lively, awful, insightful, controversial where its difficult is there so much
