- (17 Aug 1998) President Bill Clinton acknowledged in a prime-time address that he had an inappropriate relationship with a young White House intern. But he refused to give detailed answers to some questions about the explicit nature of his contacts with Monica Lewinsky. In his speech Clinton said he never asked anyone to lie and said it was time to ease up on the investigation. The president said part of the reason he did not come forward earlier was to save himself and his family from embarrassment and because of his mistrust of Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr's investigation.

“My fellow Americans, I have not been entire truthful with you. I did giggoogity that girl. I goschmoigotied her giflabity with my googus. And I am sorry.”
😂
LMAOOOO
B
Giggity!
The Quagmire parody of this was hilarious
Did the googiggity that girl…
😂😂😂😂😂😂
As CZcams apology video goes, this wasn't too bad
Lmao
XD
Liver king was cringey AF.
"My fellow Americans, I had an affair and I got CAUGHT! To my daughter, Chelsea, you ARE NOT an only child. You have MANY, MANY younger brothers and sisters because of my mistakes and bad judgment."
It wasn't an affair...it was a sex session...big difference
@@richardlawson6787 That lasted for 18 months.
"My fellow Americans I have not been entirely truthful with you, I did ga-googity that girl, I ga-shmoigedied her ga-flavety with my googus And I am sorry"
Fun fact, this guy averaged 120 blinks per min during this apology
Fun fact…
I can’t unsee t now.
This is one of the greatest non-apologies, I "take-responsibility-but-did-nothing-wrong" speeches of all time.
Bill Clinton be like "I've made a severe and continuous lapse in my judgement, and I don't expect to be forgiven. I'm just here to apologize."
Clive Owen is doing such a phenomenal job.
This is so humiliating
No it's not humiliating to him. Do you actually think that this is the first time he had had this talk with his wife? Lollolololl here was busted 4 other times before her became president including being caught in LA ROJA ZONE the red zone which is a whorehouse in northern Mexico. But it never got out. One of his serviceman were about it in a book and are there secret service men did also tell about his affairs in their books. He had allegedly, according to one secret service agent, had a very young black Hispanic girl come to a hotel room in Spain. secret servicemen said that she could have been over 18 but didn't look a day over fourteen or fifteen. He took 27 FBI confirmed flights on Jeffrey Epstein's private jet and and 4 of those flights went to Jeffrey Epstein's island. Bill Clinton when he was 27 years old could pass a lie-detector tests with flying colors. He was questioned by the FBI in 1973 about his involvement with a child pedophilia when he was 27. After he ran for governor when he was 32 a person that saw him take the lie detector test heard him admit to some things that he lied about on the test but he still passed the test. He was hurt on open Mic talking to in a former CIA special operativeabout being trained to lie without anyone being able to tell so that he could manipulate the system after becoming president. And approve that a body language expert watched the video of him being questioned before Congressand the video of him telling the American people that he did not have sexual relations with that woman and he said that neither time did he show any signs of deceit. This guy said the first thing a person does when they lie is their pupils dilate
@@bigcountrymountainman9740 care to share the book’s name please ? I would love to read it and i couldn’t come up with anything on google
Not really, most people remneber the 90s for how strong they were, especially in the economic category. The Lewinsky affair will always be remembered as a partisan fishing expedition that cost 50 million dollars and accomplished absolutely nothing besides increasing his overall popularity. He generally ranks highly in most public polls about “greatest presidents” because people don’t give a shit about your personal life, it’s the direction you take the country that matters the most, and the 90s were an absolutely amazing time, possibly the best decade.
@@Black_Caucus that’s not true. We had a dishonest President who lied under oath. They didn’t call him Slick Willie for nothing. While I believe in the right to a personal life, you don’t get that diddling a young intern in The Oval on the job. His approval rating was good because he was the first really relatable President. Fiscally things were better but it depended on in whose shoes you were standing.
He could have told the truth and come clean, instead he chose to lie and reaped the consequences. He completely shot his credibility with this and tarnished his whole legacy. Tell the truth, kids.
I smoke a Bowl everytime I watch this video
The Family guy version was better
Time for a new apology, Bill 🏝️
Is that Hillary hiding behind the drapes?
His personal life is none of anybody’s business. Only if he does a good job running the country.
Bill Dejean Although I firmly agree with your statement, but I’m gonna play a little devil’s advocate here. So if his personal life is non of anybody’s business, what does that make of Trump’s personal affairs with porn stars? Does the same premise apply to him as well?
Oliver Solorzano same. None of my or anyone’s else’s business
Bill Dejean I can certainly agree with you to a certain degree. However I personally believe public servants, high ranking government officials like the President, elected members of Congress, both local, state and federal. Should not expect to, have or ask for any privacy whatsoever. If they don’t like that or don’t agree with that, then the public service shouldn’t be for them. They can depart, go to the public sector and they can have a private life there. I think Bill Clinton was a great President!! however I don’t agree with his affair scandal and don’t think it was appropriate. Neither do I believe it was appropriate, neither morally or even professionally that he had an affair with a porn actor and tried to cover it up. Now that he’s President, I don’t believe he should be subjected to personal privacy. If he doesn’t agree with it, then the office of President isn’t for him. If we’re gonna elect people, then we should know exactly who they are, their life, their story, their financial work, family, personal and the complete vetting process. If these individuals are gonna represent us, then they should not hide anything from the people who are gonna vote for them.
I'm not sure if an unfaithful blowjob in the Oval Office kind of integrates his personal and Presidential duties.
@@Tondaloona03He did.
Be honest! Who’s here because of American Crime Story?
I think the paradox of the latter days of Slick Willy’s second term - was that people disliked him, but still wanted him in power and thought he was good for the country, from a purely practical standpoint.
Exactly. Aside from the slime and shady stuff in his personal life, I think he’s the best and most intelligent president since JFK. It’s a shame his legacy will always be tarnished because of this.
Bill said that he took responsibility for his actions? Here is the real deal on the matter. He was sorry that he got caught. The stains on the dress was the real reason that he got caught.
Meanwhile Trump, on being caught, just laughs and tries to con the planet into thinking they should trust what he says and not their own eyes.
@@gmork1090 EXACTLY!!! When did trump EVER say anything even remotely comparable to this? To speak to the nation and confess that you lied for selfish reasons, that takes guts. If my husband had been able to say to me “I lied to you because I was ashamed of myself “ I would have respected him. Some “men” choose to gaslight, and I guess some people choose to be fooled.
@@sarahewson3607 Let me get this straight. You think Bill Clinton was less sincere because he got caught... as compared to Trump who is honest about it and couldnt give two hoots if he gets called a perv... just curious which you prefer :P
But i just find Bill Clinton funny in itself for some reason
Power tends to corrupt; absolute power corrupts absolutely. An observation that a person's sense of morality lessens as his or her power increases. The statement was made by Lord Acton, a British historian of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
You'd never hear Trump say this.
Ever. He could say it's day when it's night, have the entire world tell him the truth, and he'd just shrug and try to con everyone else into thinking they're wrong.
Nope
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Men who identify as women are freaks
Men who identify as women are ugly
Who’s here because of Quagmire?
Fun fact: That's the same tie he wore at his first inauguration.
An no apology to Lewinsky.
I mean surely she knew what was up and she is also to blame. They're both dumbasses.
@@mathewsoltan8487 right she knew what she was doing. Bet you had President Obama did it they would try to put him in jail
For what? Oh i apologise for having sex, the biggest crime of the year. Yup Bill Clinton sucks for having sex with SOMEONE who was ok with it. Some people are so stupid i swear. No, Bill Clinton is not at fault there. He may be at fault for being unfaithful. But the apology for having sex?... if people legit consider this then they are so braindead.
I have made a severe and continuous lapse in my judgment...
This dude doesnt owe me any apology.
He said: “gtfo of my business” 😂 I always took the stance that his inability to be faithful did not be he was unable to be a good president, but that messaging sort of rubbed me the wrong way. Presidents go into the job knowing their private life will be little to none and scrutiny will always be abound. I’m not saying each person doesn’t deserve a private life, I’m saying 1) you go into the job knowing this is going to be hard if not nearly impossible to maintain and 2) to say this only after you messed up very badly which technically didn’t affect your ability to be President but did make the nation look bad is a bit distasteful
His deceit, criminality, and low character made him a very bad president. Arguably the worst possible. You must be a tad stupid.
He didn't do anything to me.
Just the fact that he has to address the nation over this. There are evil people out there.
imagine someone taking responsibility..wow how we have fallen
Impeachment episode 8 ... Had to hear it from the 🐴s mouth 😉🙏🏼😉
Hey Donny listen to this, he apologized!!
Donny: I am very very very VERY not sorry for all the destruction I've done. I've had an inappropriate relationship with Ivanka to have barron but I keep doing it.
Just because he apologized doesn’t mean it isn’t bad...
@@collinhuston8883 my point is at least he had the gonads to admit it, the past resident didn't hasn't and won't
@@appraiserman1 are you saying that trump had sexual relationships in office like Clinton? Because he didnt
@@collinhuston8883 first off I was not saying that but he has a lot more to apologize for than a simple BJ, and how do you know he didn't? Did you spend every day /night with him the past 4 yrs?
When children are hurt by you, and your Familia, it is NOT a private matter, Billy.
He didnt actually say sorry once
It's not like a Clinton to lie.
What are you, being sarcastic?
@@perfectsplit5515 shut up
Said no one ever🤣
Translation I lied please don’t bully us anymore.. My response The Democratic Party did not have any political association with that woman. We. never asked her to lie or anyone to lie on her behalf but we did take away voting booths from Bernie Sanders locations.
came here after "impeachment" ACS lol...
Spoke truthfully? Haha. He is a liar who got caught and acted indignant. He should have thought about protecting his family when he started the affair with a 24 year old intern.
He was saying sorry i got caught
Finger wagging liar liar pants on fire!
Liar Liar pants on fire
Hey Louise, Here's the apology that you said President Clinton never made. 03/05/2020
Truthfully tonight- last January?? wtf
The original apology video.
How much did taxpayers pay for this?
Probably less then the amount paid for the russian collusion hoax, which took up millions and was, of course, bullshit
the Starr fishing expedition cost around 50 million dollars. That could have built better roads or went to helping working people, but it was used to research information about a blowjob.
@@samdoe3608 the Russian investigation made 40 or 50 million dollars because it seized assets from Trump associates who got caught up in tax fraud. The claim that the “russia hoax cost taxpayer money” is quite literally bullshit and even Fox News has admitted that it actually profited.
@@Black_Caucus The cost to taxpayers is of course not the main point.
The main point is, the investigation was started by bad, made up oppo research from the Clinton campaign, targeted a major party candidate for public office based off those lies and then was used to try and hobble a legitimately elected President.
We know there was no “collusion” with Russians. Yet a large percentage of Democrats still think Russian interference altered the vote or even changed vote tallies, a proven lie.
It was used to try and delegitimize President Trump and triggered massive resistance among bureaucrats. Oh and as for the trump associates who did get caught up in it, that’s basic fruit of the poisonous tree. The investigation uncovered unrelated law violations based off an unjustified police action.
But of course, the Constitution doesn’t matter if we’re using police force against Trump supporters. Just like police brutality doesn’t matter if an unarmed Trump supporter is shot dead in the Capitol
accurate? impeached and disbarred
Love or hate him, he looks handsome here.
What?
Hilary totally wrote this speech
".........i deeply regret that" .........means........... "i regret getting caught"
8/10 Apology video
2:41 Anyone remember seeing/hearing this in 1998, and hearing "my god" not "our god" ?
What? He definitely said 'our God'
He did say my god. I remember that
The Bonnie and Clyde of politics... White Water, Hillary, and Bill Clinton tricked seniors into taking their homes. These two are the biggest thieves, EVER
These two continued in politics and both remained the most ruthless crooks EVER!
An affair is a private matter for most people, but what would the board of directors of a fortune 500 company do if news of an affair between the CEO and intern made the headlines? This is a classic case of "it's a big deal for thee but not for me."
At least he didn't bring a ukulele...
Say what you will, but he owned up to what he did. It can not have been easy to say these things, and it shows more character than a recent president who continuously got caught lying. Seriously, 1:37 is pretty amazing to hear a US President own up to- more than my lying ass husband ever offered.
After he had lied about it under oath and to the American people.... but yea, after being caught he admitted to it...
Nope. Ms Lewinsky says that he failed to own up for what he did. 'I'm with her. He was the president of the United States and twice her age.
did that seagar taste good mr press seed dent ?
Very young man
This is so quaint now that we have a president that lies every time he opens his mouth.
I don't think he had to apologize to anyone but his wife.
Slick Willey pre Lolita Express
It is a sample time many americans never vote since then
Check the smugness, sleeps well at night
He lied under oath and nothing happened? What the fuck?
I used this exact speech in 1993 over a 1/4 oz of weed charge in court. They threw my @ss in jail so fast i didnt get any time served.
Just Monica ddlc
He is the best President. He got the job done in a way that led to functional, continuous prosperity. That’s why so many people hate on him. He did what they never could.
Yes he let the scumbags on Wallstreet have fun for awhile until the economy collapsed. Fuck him
Fuck in the oval office? Yeah thats near impossible.
@@Tondaloona03Cope.
Lies
He is one of best Presidents His personal affair were used to tarnish him by the way he didn't do corruption he slept around with women and that's not a national issue that's actually a personal one so idk why but Republicans shrills were opportunistic as hell thinking they might use this thing to take him down. He wasn't caught doing anything that was harmful to government or violation of White House. Unlike Nixon who deserved to be impeached Bill didn't deserved that. He had infidelity that could have settled with a divorce by Hillary. Ngl this was the stupidest impeachment of any President. Personal and Professional lives are sperate you can't mix them.
lol
Well i was born on 1997 so i had just been born and watching how they humiliated this man like this is crazy . It’s almost personal no ? A man who cheated on his wife , wow .. wow …. do you guys know many men cheat on their wife right now and don’t care if we get bombed the next day , don’t care if we gotta pay for a doctors visit for a life threatening infection that’s contagious, and also everytime he speaks he holds his wife in a high place . It’s crazy but until i see real concrete evidence that he’s a BAD MAN like they want him to seem so bad , i won’t believe any of it . Also Monica called him a lot … :/ 22 you’re at an age to understand , you’re not 17 lol . Monica lost her virginity at 14 and also may Linda Tripp rest in peace because she wasn’t a hero….. i still don’t understand her purpose . seemed like she was just mad at the world for not working at the white house 🥴 but yea let me shut up cus i was born on 1997 !!! 😂
Lol you are saying that now because you got caught!
Case dismissed or paid out a shut up settlement
Not a private happening when you do it with a public figure hired by the private sector
I think there is something special about him, he is different from other presidents- at least the way he talks.And if he had any relationship with someone- why does this affect the country? The politics of other countries? How does his personal actions affect America as a nation? I don't get it
Jimmy Kimmel looks an awful lot like Bill Clinton, love child?
WRONG
That dress got em….
Why wouldnt he. Look at hillary
Everyone caught says they accept full responsibility for their actions. Yea and then what. Do they accept the consequences though?
Top 10 greatest presidents ever. He wasn’t perfect, but man he was a brilliant politician and president. Exceptionally intelligent and competent, knew how to play the political game.
"DOMEgate"
This was tough to witness as a kid in college. Bill, you messed up, and the investigation most certainly was politically motivated. However, you helped string this along with your insistence that you didn't do something that you knew you had. If you had taken the podium after Super Bowl Sunday (first win in Broncos history...yeah!!) and just told the public, "Yes, everyone, you got me. I had an inappropriate relationship with an intern, took advantage of a young, college-age woman, and I deeply regret it. I take full responsibility for my actions, and I apologize to the public, to Hillary, and to Chelsea for letting you all down. No further comment." What would have happened then? It would have been cannon fodder on Rush Limbaugh for a few weeks and then it would have blown over.
Republicans, are you really proud of this moment? Are you really, seriously happy that this continued to drag out for nearly another 18 months? Over THIS?!? You took a sitting President to trial in the Senate and nearly removed him from office, FOR THE FIRST TIME IN OUR NATION'S HISTORY, over him lying about him cheating on his wife? Try to spin it all you want, but that's what happened. Was this supposed to be some big revenge because Congress got Nixon to resign 20 years earlier? Unlike Clinton, Nixon committed some actual, substantial criminal acts and most certainly would have been removed from office had the impeachment proceedings moved forward. Clinton lied about his sex life.
To be fair, if a man in the highest office in the land presents himself as a committed family man and a loyal servant to the people, it does strike a fatal blow to his credibility and authority to lecture anyone else about moral issues if he is willing to not only cheat on his wife, but lie about it publicly to an entire nation. The president is, by original design, supposed to be the best citizen, character wise, of all Americans, who above all else knows the difference between right and wrong. Nixon set a very shady precedent, but that should have gone down as a blip in American presidential history, not the start of a trend...
Perjury is a substantial crime, and remember he was already under investigation for other substantial crimes, including sexual assault against Paula Jones. Before you start wagging your finger at Republicans, just remember that the Democrats' coddling of men like Bill Clinton helped perpetuate a culture of fear whereby women didn't feel they could accuse their attackers without being attacked again by people like you. Democrats helped foster that.
The standard that is often invoked by politicians in favor of impeachment-currently being employed by congressional Democrats-is whether an ordinary citizen could get away with committing the same crime. Needless to say, the average American wouldn’t be able to commit perjury without facing legal consequences. In truth, the groundwork for President Bill Clinton’s impeachment was largely laid out by Bill Clinton himself. In his first year in office, the president renewed the Independent Counsel mandate without making feasible revisions, which might have included some sort of sunset clause on a potential investigation. The special prosecutor was therefore allowed essentially unlimited time to probe the incumbent chief executive’s conduct. Another glitch in this unreformed mandate was that when presented with new evidence, the OIC would have no choice but to continue, and expand, their investigation. By late 1997, Kenneth Starr was wrapping up his inquiry into the Whitewater scandal (which yielded, among other things, the indictments of Arkansas Governor Jim Guy Tucker and his business associate William Marks for making false statements to prosecutors) until Linda Tripp turned over recordings of Monica Lewinsky admitting to an affair with Clinton. Starr had no choice but to press ahead and formally request that Attorney General Janet Reno permit him to examine the new developments, to which she complied.
One measure that Clinton DID take early in his administration was the signing of the Violence Against Women Act of 1994. This bill outlined the criteria for what defines sexual harassment, which the accusations against President Clinton adequately met. Furthermore, the bill allows for prosecutors in a sexual harassment case to question the defense about their intimate lives, in order to establish a pattern of misconduct. Bill Clinton was done in by a law that HE signed. It’s not really an act of spin to note that Clinton was clearly okay with other witnesses being asked similar invasive questions. But only when used on him did these tactics, that he endorsed, suddenly become evidence of a right-wing campaign fueled by sexual McCarthyism.
Congressional Republican leaders at the time of Clinton’s impeachment have expressed regret at their handling of the episode. The proceedings themselves, however, did somewhat act as a form of congressional censure (which many Democrats were advocating for anyway). But as mentioned above, it was Clinton who largely built the infrastructure of his trials. The final way in which he managed to do this was by engaging in an affair with an intern in the first place. I have trouble believing that with all the same facts in this serious breech of workplace ethics, along with the subsequent attempts to cover up the lies, a Democratic House majority would not have taken similar action during a Republican presidency. The amalgamation of his wife’s loss in the 2016 presidential election and the advent of the #MeToo movement has allowed for Clinton’s party to shun him. I think people will begin to wonder whether the former president’s conduct deserved the defense that was mounted for him. It seems like that process is in motion.
Solipsism
Too bad that he got caught, to apologize. Till then he was thinking he is innocent .
Vulgarity at its hieghts..
A false impression ? Shhhhiiit .
Trump still won't admit he attempted to foment an insurrection. I miss Bill Clinton.
