>> Stephen: HEY, EVERYBODY! WELCOME BACK TO THE SHOW! MY NEXT GUEST IS AN AUTHOR, THE
VICE CHAIR OF THE CLINTON FOUNDATION, AND BOTH OF HER
PARENTS HAVE WON THE POPULAR VOTE FOR THE U.S. PRESIDENCY. PLEASE WELCOME, CHELSEA
CLINTON! ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
( BAND PLAYING ) >> Stephen: NICE TO SEE YOU
AGAIN. >> GREAT TO BE HERE. THANKS, STEPHEN. >> Stephen: YOUR FAMILY HAS A
PARTICULARLY UNIQUE RELATIONSHIP EMOTIONALLY TO THE FACT THAT
DONALD TRUMP IS PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. >> STEPHEN, I THINK THAT A LOT
OF US HAVE PRETTY UNIQUE EMOTIONAL RELATIONSHIPS FOR THE
FACT THAT DONALD TRUMP IS PRESIDENT. ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
>> Stephen: HOW DOES YOUR FAMILY COPE WITH THAT LEVEL OF
ANXIETY THAT DONALD TRUMP I THINK WANTS TO GENERATE EVERY
DAY? I HAVE MY OWN WAY BUT I GAVE UP
LIQUOR FOR LENT. HOW DO YOU GUYS TALK ABOUT THIS
AT HOME? SPILL THE TEA. HOW DO YOU GUYS TALK ABOUT
DONALD TRUMP? GIVE ME A CONVERSATION RECENTLY
YOU'VE HAD ABOUT THE PRESIDENT? >> WELL, GOODNESS... >> Stephen: THAT'S THE
STRONGEST LANGUAGE YOU USE? ( LAUGHTER )
GEE WILLAKERS! >> WE TALK ABOUT WHAT WE SHOULD
BE DOING TODAY, WHICH ORGANIZATIONS AND CANDIDATES
SHOULD WE BE SUPPORTING, HOW DO WE STAND AGAINST IN OPPOSITION
TO THE DEGRADATION OF NORMS AND RETROGRADE POLICIES AROUND
WOMEN'S RIGHTS, VOTING RIGHTS, TRANSGENDER RIGHTS AND WHAT DO
WE DO TO PUSH FORWARD FOR THE WORLD BOTH MY PARENTS HAVE BEEN
WORKING ON SINCE BEFORE I WAS BORN AND I'M EAGER TO HELP BUILD
FOR MY CHILDREN, FOR YOUR CHILDREN AND FUTURE GENERATIONS? SO --
( APPLAUSE ) BECAUSE, AS YOU NOTED, THE
PRESIDENT, I THINK, THRIVES ON ANXIETY AND INSULTS. THERE'S JUST ALWAYS SO MUCH TO
TALK ABOUT. BECAUSE I THINK, UNFORTUNATELY,
THIS ADMINISTRATION IS KIND OF THE COLONEL LE COLLISION OF CRUE
INCOMPETENCE. THERE IS SO MUCH TO TALK ABOUT
BEYOND THE PRESIDENT AND WASHINGTON ON ANY GIVEN DAY. >> Stephen: DOES YOUR ENTIRE
FAMILY SPEAK IN PARAGRAPHS IS THIS BECAUSE THAT WAS A REAL
BEAUTIFUL PARAGRAPH, BUT IT DOESN'T GET ANY SHARPER THAN
THAT AT ALL? NOBODY THROWS THE GLASS OF
CHARDONNAY AT THE TV EVER? >> WELL, IT'S JUST NOT REALLY
PRODUCTIVE. >> Stephen: BUT IT FEELS SO
GOOD! ( LAUGHTER )
YOU MUST HAVE SOME WEAKNESSES. SHOW ONE! BE HUMAN HERE! WHAT HAVE YOU YELLED ABOUT? >> I MEAN, I JUST WOULD RATHER
GO TO A PROTEST OR CONVINCE MORE PEOPLE TO GO VOTE IN NOVEMBER. ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
>> Stephen: THERE HAS BEEN SOME CRITICISM OF IVANKA TRUMP
RECENTLY, OF HER ROLE IN THE WHITE HOUSE OR WHETHER OR NOT
SHE SHOULD HAVE A ROLE IN THE WHITE HOUSE. YOU WERE 20 WHEN YOUR FATHER
LEFT OFFICE, BUT CERTAINLY YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE
THE CHILD OF THE PRESIDENT. WERE YOU ASKED TO FIX MIDDLE
EAST PEACE AT ANY POINT? >> NO, THAT NEVER CAME UP. WE TALKED ABOUT MY HOMEWORK --
>> Stephen: DO YOU HAVE ANY SYMPATHY FOR HER? BECAUSE SHE IS AN ADULT WHO HAS
TAKEN ON AN OFFICIAL ROLE IN THE WHITE HOUSE. DO YOU THINK SHE'S FAIR GAME FOR
CRITICISM OR JUST ANOTHER PRESIDENTIAL CHILD? >> I THINK ANYONE WHO WORKS FOR
THE PRESIDENT IS CERTAINLY -- SHOULD EXPECT TO BE SCRUTINIZED
FOR WHATEVER DECISIONS NOT ONLY HE OR SHE IS MAKING BUT WHATEVER
DECISIONS THE WHITE HOUSE IS MAKING ON ANY GIVEN DAY. >> Stephen: ARE YOU GUYS STILL
FRIENDS? >> I'VE NOT SPOKEN TO HER IN A
LONG TIME. >> Stephen: BUT YOU WERE
FRIENDS BEFORE THE ELECTION. >> ABSOLUTELY. IT'S CLEAR, THOUGH, THAT SHE HAS
SUPPORTED POLICIES AND DECISIONS THAT I DON'T AGREE WITH. I HAVE BEEN VERY VOCAL ABOUT MY
OPPOSITION TO PRESIDENT TRUMP AND --
>> Stephen: COULD YOU CALL HER UP AND SAY, HEY, MAYBE NO WAR
WITH NORTH KOREA, OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT? YOU ARE HER FRIEND, SO --
( LAUGHTER ) >> I'M SAD AT A WE'RE AT A POINT
IN TIME WHERE THAT EVEN HAS TO BE SAID. I MEAN, WE'RET APONENT IN TIME
WHERE WE HAVE -- A POINT IN TIME WHERE WE HAVE A PRESIDENT WHO
HAS SUCH CALLOUS DISREGARD FOR THOUGHTFUL COHERENT, KIND OF
EXPERT ADVICE FOREIGN POLICY IS SOMETHING I WOULD HOPE,
REGARDLESS OF WHERE WE SIT ON THE POLITICAL SPECTRUM, WE COULD
AGREE ON. >> Stephen: I WOULD WISH WE
COULD, TOO. ( APPLAUSE )
WELL, LET'S TALK ABOUT THE FUTURE. >> OKAY, I'M READY. >> Stephen: LET'S TALK ABOUT
THE FUTURE. YOU HAD A BOOK CALLED "SHE
PERSISTED" AND YOU YOU HAVE A NEW CHILDREN'S BOOK CALLED "SHE
PERSISTED AROUND THE WORLD." ( APPLAUSE )
WHO IS IT -- WHO'S THIS BOOK FOR AND WHAT ARE THE STORIES YOU'RE
TELLING? >> WELL, THANK YOU, STEPHEN. I WAS SO STRUCK BY THE RESONANCE
THAT "SHE PERSISTED" HAD WHEN IT CAME OUT LAST YEAR WHICH TELLS
THE STORIES OF 13 AMERICAN WOMEN WHO INSPIRED ME OVER THE TIME,
SO I WROTE "SHE PERSISTED AROUND THE WORLD" TO TELL MORE STORIES
OF MORE WOMEN THAT I FIND INSPIRING. SO I HOPE IT WILL RESONATE WITH
YOUNG READERS, GIRLS AND BOYS ALIKE. SORIANA DE LA CRUZ WHO OPENS THE
BOOK IS AN AUTHOR, THE FIRST PERSON IN MERK TO ARGUE FOR A
GIRL'S EQUAL RIGHT TO EDUCATION, TO JOH J.K. RAWLINGS WHO WAS TOL
SEVERAL TIMES NO ONE WANTED TO HEAR THE STORY OF HARRY POTTER. JON'S EYES GOT WIDE. A DOZEN PUBLISHERS TURNED DOWN
THE TRANSCRIPT AND NOW HARRY POTTER IS THE BEST-SELLING
SINGLE SERIES IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD. ( APPLAUSE )
>> Stephen: IT'S NOT THE LORD OF THE RINGS, BUT IT'S VERY,
VERY GOOD. >> THANK YOU, THANK YOU. >> Stephen: THANK YOU SO MUCH
FOR BEING HERE. GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN. >> THANK YOU. >> Stephen: "SHE PERSISTED
AROUND THE WORLD" IS ON SALE TOMORROW! CHELSEA CLINTON, EVERYBODY! WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH MARTHA
STEWART.
