I understand you want to make a big announcement
about your wife today.
[LAUGHTER]
She's the happiest grandmother in the world.
[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]
Bill--
When we were talking, I do want to say something seriously.
But I don't know what Hillary's going to do.
That's truth.
If I did, I wouldn't tell you.
But I don't know.
But all of this looks different when you
are-- we've been so blessed.
We've had a wonderful life.
We've had a chance to serve.
Whatever she wants to do, I'm for.
She's the ablest public servant I ever worked with.
But I'm more interested now that I have a granddaughter
than I ever have been in this project she and Chelsea started
at our foundation called Too Small To Fail.
Because in general, if nothing changes in America,
when my granddaughter goes to kindergarten,
she will have heard 30 million more
words than the child of a working mother who works
for modest earnings, gets up at 5:30 every day,
takes her kid to daycare, and it's
all she can say grace over to pay the rent, utilities,
and put clothes on her kids back and food on the table.
So this is really a big deal.
I want to urge you all.
We've got to convince parents everywhere and help
them to read to their children, to talk to their children.
And we ought to have more universal access to preschool,
because it really affects what these kids can learn
and how quickly and well they can
learn when they get in school.
That's one simple, not very expensive thing
that we ought to get bipartisan agreement on
and we just ought to do in America,
because we know now what a difference
it makes to our kids.
It does for them to have access to--
[APPLAUSE]
--so much stimulation.
[APPLAUSE]
- Well, all right, so you're not going
to tell us if Hillary is going to run or not.
But I'm just saying, if you only had one, if you could only--
[LAUGHTER]
I'm just-- if you could only pick one,
because I can't afford to give you both.
[LAUGHTER]
Well, if I pick that one, it would be best for the country.
[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]
If I pick--
[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]
However, if I did that, then Hillary
would start taking me up to total strangers and saying,
have you met my first husband?
[LAUGHTER]
So it's not a decision for me to make.
If I pick that one, she would be happy as a clam
and so would I. So keep them both,
and give her the right one when she decides.
Either way, you're going to be the first husband
if you take this, because you understand that, right?
Yup.
You'd be the first first husband.
Well I'll tell you, since I'm always
campaigning for the parties to get together and agree
on something, President Bush 43, who
had a grand-- became a grandfather just a few weeks
before I did, told me something on which
there was complete agreement.
He said the most important thing you
have to remember when you become a grandfather is
that you immediately fall into last place on the family
hierarchy.
[LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE]
Well, I'm going to give you both.
And also should she should she go out on the campaign trail,
I assume Chelsea is going to go with her.
That means Charlotte is going to go.
So we want her to travel in style.
So Charlotte has her own little--
[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]
Oh my god.
The first baby.
[APPLAUSE]
That's too cool.
That's great.
All right, so we'll hold this up.
And it's a made in America car, let's get that clear.
Yup.
[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]
Very importance, since the auto industry's
coming back that you're contributing to it.
I, well, let's see what happens.
And I guess we'll find out when we find out.
Go to our website to learn more about the Clinton Foundation,
what you can do to help.
I urge you to go.
There's so much good that comes from that.
Uh oh, did you want to see more videos?
Hold on.
[STATIC SOUND]
[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]
This is my first time on a talk show.
What is it, Noah?
My first time on a talk show.
Oh man.
[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]
Welcome.
[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]
