[@Paulstracywootten]

Trevor - one of your greatest interviews, tough at times but with real thought and meaning! You really have matured into one of the worlds greatest! Well done!

[@beachpreachr2505]

Indeed he has Paul and Trevor WILL continue to develop into one helluva interviewer

[@Footjones]

Paul Stracy Wootten I absolutely agree.

[@tebogokatane3561]

Trevor has been doing this longer than the gig at the daily show. He had his own HIT talk show in SA.

[@nab-rk4ob]

I was going to write, but you said it best.

[@moduspwnenz]

Matured? He's been doing this sort of stuff already. More like we matured because everyone hated the idea of Trevor coming for this show.

"You can't keep pouring poison down people's throat without some of it bubbling out."...what a insightful observation...well said sir.

I genuinely enjoyed this interview in a way I didn't thought I would. Trevor is so talented with these smooth transitions & segues, & pres Clinton & Patterson's dynamic is legitness. I never knew listening to Clinton talk would be so intriguing.

[@Sindollx666x]

"It would be very difficult to write fiction about what's going on now. " -James Patterson. Haha right!? You can't make this shit up that's going on here in the US it's ridiculous. Stranger than fiction, the times we're living in. Great interview too!

Wonderful Interview I really love Bill Clinton He has learnt from his mistakes and he is humble also.

[@apratimjaiswal]

If you take a job where you have power over another person's life, you should be very humble. Value them and take care of them.

[@plo8monster113]

if you look up humble you will find a one-word definition: Unpretentious This apprentice president has a total lack of humility. That never changes with a narcissist. Ever. Pretentiousness is all this president has ever known. Ever.

[@oluwatosindaramola3542]

One of my best daily show ever. That man Bill still got it...

[@vishalcful]

Trevor has already won the hearts of many, for me, this very young guy is already a nobel prize winner. He weaves the world. 💓

[@shane-o-matic]

Trevor’s interviews just get better and better. Great interview.

[@blaisemacpherson7637]

Just finishing the book im at the big reveal at the end. AMAZING read portrait of the office of the presidency at its very best, the ideal of what the office of the presidency can and should be if approached in an unselfish, country first politics later, respect of the office way. I've got to doc a few points for the shirlock holms style hero-reveals-unlikely-villians-carefully-laid-master-plan at the end. Came off a bit phoney.

[@Ayafungamer]

The best interview I’ve ever seen. Respectfull, yet demanding awnsers Asking questions about the right things New questions Funny Amazing really

[@jennifernoname369]

Damn, having either President Clinton or James Patterson alone would be a huge get, all on its own. How cool to get both on the show! I think this is the first time I've been jealous of Trevor's job!

[@joelwateres]

I’m not sure if it’s a greater honor to be a guest on the Trevor Noah show or Trevor Noah is so honored to have such great guests. He is the most informative talk show host this country has seen since TV was born. A non American which is probably a plus. He is a citizen of the world. Bravo He is fresh vibrant brilliant , John Stewart really picked the perfect guy because John Stewart was a hell of a pair of shoes to replace. Trevor Noah deserves special recognition for his brilliance.

[@bokiss8425]

Trevor I like your take on issues that are extremely important in our day. You have a way of talking even the most somewhat uncomfortable subjects and not come out feeling awkward. Thank you for having a man that actually served two full terms and survived the political crisis of impeachment and at the end a man who actually learned from his mistakes. I was still a republican then and the same way I've learned to grow and be better. I didn't like the Clintons then but I admire them now and respect them, it's amazing to see how President Clinton handled the scandal and he did most of his own legal representation and survived and how funny it is that the actual President thought he could do the same but we're talking about the highest IQ President and the lowest IQ President... not just that but the hatred for anything that's lofty, educated, scientific and informed. Thank you also for having James Patterson a helluva writer and thinker.

[@LadyKay9190]

playah Stop spamming.

[@Zwaks]

I love how Trevor interviewed Bill Clinton. He asked him questions that wouldn't seem like intrusive for him, asked questions about current that need another point of view. I love how he also didn't ignore the Me Too movement but gave Bill Clinton a chance to reflect on his previous Book Tour interviews and answer them in his iconic dignified manner.

[@UNDERSIA]

Like him or not but Mr Bill Clinton looks really good for his age

[@coleenparsons4905]

I love how excited he is over the plot of the book, too.

[@nesamdoom]

And he still speaks like an educated man that deserved the positions he held. Too bad we don't have a president that can put together a coherent sentence now.

[@Valkyrie612]

It's because of all the babies he's eaten. ;-)

[@justinhamilton8647]

Mistress of weirdness 84 thank you!

[@tommywiseau_]

it's the money

[@Mittie98]

I'm from Arkansas and have strong feelings about Clinton's treatment of women. He is a lot like Trump in a lot of ways. However, he knows it's wrong and his policies typically benefit women. He actually has a conscience. Despite his sexual misconduct, I can respect his opinions and he seems to respect minorities and the economically disadvantaged. He is well read and well spoken. The poison analogy was spot on. I was a child when he was governor of Arkansas and met him and Hillary a few times and he is one of the most humble men I've ever met.

[@bethbartlett5692]

No, he has been promoted by Media to be that - The foe is the owner of MS News Media, also owner of Federal Reserve - The shadows hold the truth, the same MS Media fostered the idea that anyone whom questions this is a "Conspiracy Theorist" and deft - Conspiracies have NOT CEASED TO EXIST. If one observes with a Nature Mind - not Ego Mind - it is quite obvious. Google Rothschild Watch "Century of Self" here on KZbin. 🌸

[@bethbartlett5692]

PS - I'm from, but not of, West Tennessee - Arkansas is a Beautiful State 💝

[@mercedesmartin1269]

This is my exact sentiments on the Clintons. People are good or bad, there’s a bit more nuance and I’d like to think one can respect or admire a person in some ways and stay intellectually honest or hold up their own morals at the same time.

[@newnana9070]

mittie rowland : He wasn’t grabbing women’s “pu$$y hairs”. He had affairs, but never paid anyone to keep quiet about this. Women are attracted to a good looking men with power.

[@VerdadTruth]

Great interview. Trevor did such a great job letting them both speak and explain the points they wanted to make

[@merrigalebeddoes1921]

When my brother was in the second grade, his teacher complained that he couldn't read. That was in the days of "See Spot run. Run Spot run." Our mother taught him phonics after school until he could read, but he had no interest in doing so. Then our father gave him a copy of "Ice Station Zebra" by Alistair McLean. All of a sudden he almost always had a book in his hand. As Mark Twain said, "The man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who cannot read them." We owe it to ourselves to read, and we owe it to our children and others not just to teach literacy, but to instill an interest in reading. Go, James Patterson!

[@R1ch4rdg]

True story from my days growing up in one of the smallest islands in the Caribbean, Montserrat- My sister and I, as kids, got lots of the fairy tales and the Dick, Jane, Sally and Spot books, followed by the Enid Blyton books and Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew etc...... My Grandad had a bookshelf of full of paperback fiction novels, from Louis L'amour westerns, to detective novels, to spy novels... the first one I ever pulled down to read at age 6, was Alistair McLean's Ice Station Zebra because of the picture of the snow cat and guys with guns on the cover LOL.. Ended up reading every single thing on that bookshelf, and haven't stopped since.. I'm glad your brother got turned on to reading with the same book that opened up a whole new world for me.

[@alexanderson4497]

PathsUnwritten People care, but they're saying very little as to not spoil it. Let's be honest though, people are watching the video to see what Bill Clinton has to say, the book is secondary. Book sounds interesting though.

[@lauriemtz8616]

Agreed!

[@Paulstracywootten]

playah we can agree to disagree on your assumptions - but as a statesman I would prefer a stable clearly balanced, considered and cogent thinker like Clinton to have his hand on the nuke’s and countries affairs than the unhinged, unguided, off prompter, witty-ditty, nano-thinker, seat of his pants policy maker, like trump !

[@Paulstracywootten]

fart poops all because of an affair, and fact check .. amongst your other false accusations he was not impeached. , trump on the other hand hired hookers and then lied about paying them off- Multiple times ... !? Will be shown in the history books as being elected with the Russians assisting his campaign, and will no doubt with his arseholic policies trip the world into a recession or a depression before his term is up causing untold misery and hardship for Billions! Clinton on the other hand improved the lives of Millions in his country and Billions around the world during his term - despite the republican witch hunt he presided over an economic recovery caused by his predecessors, and handed over a growing and successful economy to Bush Junior, just as Obama has handed over a long running and growing economy to Trump, after fixing Bush juniors economic screw up!

[@jarenong]

[@rondasportrayal573]

The book isn't even about Puerto Rico. Not even about a cyber black out so... maybe you should at least finish watching the video before you state a passive aggressive stance that really adds nothing to anything.

[@forthesakeofsanityandsuch9331]

Li Mar i agree. Everyone turned away from helping puerto rico properly. It was our job to help and nobody cared. It is a disgrace.

Really great interview, also I really like the fact that you actually also talked about the book unlike some other interviews I have seen where it is all about his affair many years ago. I actually think you are probably the best interviewer I ever witnessed, able to go from joking to really serious, from casual to formal. I love it

Dear lord that was one AMAZING interview! Journalists at virtually every news outlet should pay attention. This is how you conduct a critical, but well rounded interview! Anyone that can so succinctly own up to their own failings with grace and care will be remembered as a good human being.

I thought Trevor Noah wasn't gonna ask him about "me too" I'm impressed by his journalistic integrity

[@randyjax09]

One of the people who resigned was Labor Secretary, Robert Reich. Mad respect for that guy. Check out his documentary on Netflix called “Saving Capitalism”.

[@ns-uo7it]

Randy H I just put that on my Netflix list 2 days ago! Now I'm really excited to watch it... Thanks

[@seedofisrael1356]

No check out the Bible, find out what’s going to happen that’s what you need to check out!!!

[@mohammedbedsapour7503]

Randy H Yes Netflix. Let us look at Netflix. Hilary works for Soros now promoting open borders. Soros owns the majority of stock in Netflix. This is where Obama, Rice and Michelle work. They promote shows that push the agenda of open borders and division among the races. Soros also paid 10 billion into the American School System. Soros also paid BLM 30 million to be divisive. Soros also pays Antifa from Open Society funds. Soros paid BBC 25 million to push his agenda. CNN may have taken money it is still being investigated. many small media are connected to Soros. Hilary is his favorite employee. You do know who he is? He said the happiest days of his life were spent in Germany helping his guardian collect possessions of Jews heading for death camps. Even if you love these people you have to admit this is wrong. I voted for Obama and Hilary. I now see that was a mistake. The corruption is too much. And now Ocosio-Cortez, the woman who said her zip code was barely known and that it determined her future and that she was just a girl from the Bronx was caught lying. Really she is wealthy. Her father is a good friend of the Obamas and he is pushing for open borders. And so his daughter was set up to run. This woman never knew strife in her life. She was given everything and she tried to say she was lower middle class. Are you not tired yet of lies and manipulations? Are you not tired of being used to push an agenda that will take jobs from minorities as they open borders to gain new stock? And now they have produced a plan and a book detailing how to cheat more to win the elections. Don't you want a real government? One that does not take orders from Soros? Soros specialty is destabilizing countries. He is wanted for this and Hungary also removed his citizenship because of this.

[@merlavery5057]

This show and platform is amazing. I'm very happy to see president Clinton and James on this show. Brilliant.

[@richardvazquez3637]

Awesome interview from all three perspectives... but President Clinton is one of the most intelligent, articulate men I have heard speaking publicly. You can see in his eyes that he is accessing his mental database to piece together a picture for the listener to realize. Completing full sentences and then building on them to draw in the listener, as opposed to just rambling on incoherently... you know, like "Bing, bonk, boing... "!!!

[@johnnystir9796]

Trevor is a great interviewer. What a great question at 21:41.

[@TunTheOfficial]

Tbh i probably wasnt alive during his Presidency but i truly respect how bill C has reflected on himself & is changing for the better.. He seems so wise & very humble.

[@petergreen5337]

❤Thank you very much for this interview. It's been a pleasure.

[@Flanneryschickens]

That last question by Trevor was insightful and sensitive, good job on an interview well done.

[@toomanibandz5836]

Bill is honestly great American story if you want to call it that and I will. He worked hard, he made some mistakes, but he was still able to present himself as a fellow human being in the end. I respect this man immensely for what he said at the end, he stumbled through the talk as I probably will as an old man as well. But he said we can't waste this me too movement, and he is exactly right. To hear Bill say that, for some reason...truly resonates with my heart. HOPE WE FIGURE THIS SHIT OUT

[@condumondu4540]

It was sex between two consenting adults. His impeachment trial was because he lied about it, hence obstruction of justice. He has had rape charges by other women. I know very little about those accusers and how that is going to be honest.

[@Vinnafetish]

John H Player no time to chill with 50+ rape accusations

[@deanthakid9803]

"all streams flow to the sea because it is lower than they are. humility gives it its power. if you want to govern the people, you must place yourself below them. if you want to lead the people, you must learn how to follow them."

[@oliviaturner7388]

Erica Renee That’s deep!

[@malyahmoore8790]

[@musiiic3]

Very fine and necessary questions from Trevor at the end

[@fatimaelmcharfi5842]

And it's James Patterson AHHHHH 😭😭😍😍😍

[@Kirsten_is_cursed10]

IF there was a traitor in the White House? 😂

[@stephenegahi2690]

Classic

[@shinji_kagawa2287]

Sure @Kirsten 😂💯 he's acting so innocent though

[@angprt2]

Very good interview!

[@andyschool]

I haven't read this book yet but man, after seeing a few interviews of these two together, their collaboration sounds like absolute magic!

[@goaway1857]

How much I miss having an intelligent president. How much of a joke the current occupier of the white house is...!!!!

[@RedRoadWoman7]

"Stop the name-calling." I agree.

[@namelesschild40]

Love this interview

[@GrimNHTl]

Wow I couldn't believe this was 23 min long. This was really important and time worth it.

[@rhondah1587]

I bet that book is a page turner. I will have to get it. Always liked Bill Clinton as president and would vote for him again. He is not perfect but he is also not afraid to admit when he is wrong and tries to do better and that is good character. He also truly cares about this country. Something sorely missing in the current WH.

[@nehaa4846]

18:06 reminds me of that part in Trials of Apollo: The Burning Maze (book 3) when Meg realized she had power over something and she was uncomfortable with it. Apollo points this out, saying that people who are _good_ are not comfortable with power, and that’s why good people are *not* usually those who are in power.

[@ruthslone2992]

Great interviews!

[@musondakabemba5788]

I AM SO PROUD OF TREVOR NOAH! He is doing such a great job interviewing big names without fear or favor. Kudos buddy..... :)

[@ELPocho_JJ]

This book is awesome. Anyone who hasn’t read it should.

[@KanengBotsha]

president's should write more books on ethics and protocols for future president's

[@davelevy09]

Wow! Trevor you are so amazing. You met alot of great people ❤️

[@lilalovesfry]

. . . . and at that time, they had maybe, 30 or 40 "suicides" in their past, . . .

[@KalleNoble]

When the bar is as low as "Well, you didn't call them imigrant loving thugs"

[@evilola3955]

The interview was amazing and so does the book. I'm greek and I read it recently and it was great.

[@Sarahndipity_]
