Bill Clinton & James Patterson - "The First Gentleman" - The Daily Show



“If you don’t like who’s being elected, and you don’t like what they’re doing, you got to get out there and fight for it. And one of the things that we try to do in this book is to make people see that.” Best-selling co-authors Bill Clinton and James Patterson sit down with Jordan Klepper for a conversation about their new political thriller, “The First Gentleman,” their dynamic as creative collaborators, and how, after three books, they’ve learned that it’s better to humanize than demonize, both in fiction and politics. The former president offers his take on President Trump’s second-term policies, from the economy to deportations to involvement in the Middle East. Clinton and Patterson also emphasize the importance of participation and voting.
