>>> CHELSEA CLINTON HAS HAD A FRONT ROW SEAT TO HISTORY.
SHE GREW UP IN THE WHITE HOUSE. SHE ACTIVELY CAMPAIGNED FOR HER
MOM, HILLARY, DURING THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE.
HE NOW, THE BUSY MOM OF TWO IS OUT WITH A BOOK FOR KIDS.
"SHE PERSISTED." 13 AMERICAN WOMEN WHO CHANGED
THE WORLD. A LOT OF PEOPLE MIGHT KNOW THIS
LINE "SHE PERSISTED." IT'S WHAT MITCH McCONNELL SAID
ABOUT ELIZABETH WARREN THIS YEAR.
SHE WAS TRYING TO READ A LETTER FROM CORETTA SCOTT KING.
SHE WAS WARN BUD SHE PERSISTED. YOU'RE SAYING, THAT'S A MESSAGE
I WANT TO EMPHASIZE. >> IT WOULD BE AN UNDERSTATEMENT
IF I SAID IT WASN'T ALONE IN BEING STRUCK BY THAT MOMENT.
WHEN SENATOR WARREN WAS DETERMINED TO READ CORETTA SCOTT
KING'S LETTER ON THE FLOOR. AND HER COLLEAGUES REBUKED HER
AND SHE WENT OUTSIDE AND RED THAT LETTER ON FACEBOOK LIVE.
AND WHEN MITCH McCONNELL SAID SHE WAS WARNED BUT NEVERTHELESS
SHE PERSISTED. I DON'T THINK HE HAD ANY IDEA
HOW PEOPLE WOULD TAKE IT AS A BADGE OF HONOR FOR SENATOR
WARREN, FOR CORETTA SCOTT KING AND SO MANY AMERICAN WOMEN WHO
PERSIST TO MAKE OUR COUNTRY STRONGER.
>> IT GOES THE GAMUT, FROM SALLY RIDE, TO OPRAH, TO JUSTICE
SOTOMAYOR.
IT'S ABOUT WOMEN AND THEIR ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND WOMEN
OVERCOMING OBSTACLES. >> YES.
AFTER THAT MOMENT ON THE SENATE FLOOR, I WAS THINKING, HOW CAN I
EXPLAIN THAT TO MY CHILDREN. MY SON IS 11 MONTHS OLD.
I TALK TO THEM ABOUT THE WORLD ALREADY BECAUSE I'M SO GRATEFUL
MY PARENTS DID THAT FOR ME AS A CHILD.
I'M THINKING, HOW DO I EXPLAIN THIS AND CONTEXTULEIZE IT.
MY WONDERFUL EDITOR WAS THINKING IN TERMS OF THE PICTURES.
THAT'S HOW HER BRAIN WORKS. I WANTED TO SHARE STORIES OF
AMERICAN WOMEN WHO INSPIRED ME AND I HOPE WILL INSPIRE OTHERS.
>> WE KNOW YOUR MOM IS A WOMAN WHO INSPIRES YOU.
YOU TALKED ABOUT THAT A LOT. SHE'S BEEN MORE IN THE SPOTLIGHT
RECENTLY. AND REALLY, I THINK SEEMING TO
OPEN UP ABOUT THE EMOTIONAL PROCESS OF DEALING WITH AN
ELECTION LOSS. SHE'S CALLED IT A CRUSHING AND
DEVASTATING BLOW. SHE MADE A JOKE THE OTHER DAY
ABOUT CHARDONNAY HELPING, LONG WALKS IN THE WOODS.
SET POLITICS ASIDE. WHAT HAS IT BEEN TO SEE HER GO
THROUGH THIS? >> I FIND MYSELF TO LOVE HER
MORE TODAY OR THE YEAR BEFORE THAT.
SHE'S WORKING ON HER BOOK. THAT'S HELPING HER PROCESS AND
HEAL. AND SHE REMAINS AS COMMITTED TO
THE FIGHT SHE'S BEEN ENGAGED IN FOR LONGER THAN EITHER OF US
HAVE BEEN ALIVE, SAVANNAH.. AND SHE'S FOCUSED ON WHAT SHE
CAN DO TO SUPPORT CAMPAIGNS, EFFORTS TO KEEP ADVANCING
WOMEN'S RIGHTS AND KEEP SUPPORTING FAMILIES AND
CHILDREN. >> WHAT'S IT LIKE TO GO THROUGH
SOMETHING LIKE THAT AS A FAMILY? >> CLEARLY, I WAS SO SAD FOR MY
MOM. AND YET, FIRST AND FOREMOST, I'M
NOW A MOM. AND I'M A CITIZEN.
AND SO, SITTING HERE TODAY ON MAY 30th, SAVANNAH, I'M MORE
FOCUSED ON WHAT WE DO TO PROTECT AND ADVANCE PROGRESS THAN WHAT
HAPPENED LAST YEAR. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S JUST IN
MY DNA OR IF IT'S TRYING TO LIVE UP TO THE EXAMPLE MY PARENTS
HAVE SET FOR ME. WE ALWAYS LOOK TOWARDS THE
FUTURE. >> WE HAVE NOTICED THAT YOU'RE A
LITTLE MORE ACTIVE ON TWITTER THESE DAYS.
WOULD YOU AGREE YOU'RE A LITTLE SASSIER ON TWITTER THAN BEFORE
THE ELECTION? >> WELL, LAST YEAR, WHEN I WAS
CAMPAIGNING FOR MY MOM, I THINK REALLY UP UNTIL MY DUE DATE WITH
AIDAN, BEING ON THE STAGE AT THE CONVENTION, SO PROUD TO SUPPORT
HER THERE, JUST A FEW WEEKS AFTER HE WAS BORN, I DID SO MANY
EVENTS FOR MY MOM. I HAD A CHANCE TO SHARE MY
THOUGHTS PUBLICLY IN FORUMS. DID LOTS OF INTERVIEWS.
NOW, I CONTINUE TO SHARE MY VIEWS AFTER THE INAUGURATION.
>> DO YOU FEELIBERATED NOBODY'S RUNNING FOR OFFICE?
>> I DON'T THINK IT'S BEEN DIFFERENT THAN WHAT I SAID.
I'VE BEEN ASKED SIMILAR QUESTIONS ON A STAGE.
I THINK WE ALL HAVE RESPONSIBILITY TO NOT STAY
SILENT NOW. I THINK WE HAVE TO SPEAK UP AND
USE WHATEVER PLATFORMS WE HAVE. >> YOU'RE USED TO THIS.
EVERYONE READS BETWEEN THE LINES FOR ANYTHING THAT YOU OR YOUR
FAMILY DOES OR SAYS. AND SOME PEOPLE THINK, SHE MIGHT
BE GEARING UP TO RUN FOR PUBLIC OFFICE.
IS THAT SOMETHING YOU WOULD LIKE TO DO SOMEDAY?
>> I DON'T HAVE ANY PLANS TO. I THINK WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS
BEFORE. ONE OF MY EARLIEST MEMORIES IS
BEING 3 YEARS OLD AND STANDING ON THE SIDE OF ONE OF MY DAD'S
CAMPAIGN RALLIES. AND A WOMAN SAYING TO ME,
XHELCY, DO YOU THINK YOU'LL RUN FOR GOVERNOR OF ARKANSAS, I
THINK I SAID, I'M 3. YES, SAVANNAH, PEOPLE HAVE ASK
ME THIS MY WHOLE LIFE. I DON'T THINK BEING A CITIZEN IS
JUST SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS IN AN ELECTION YEAR.
WE HAVE TO FEEL RESPONSIBILITY TO EVERY DAY.
AND THESE DAYS, MORE THAN EVER. I DON'T HAVE PLANS TO RUN FOR
OFFICE. I DO PLAN TO KEEP BEING AN
ACTIVIST AND RAISING MY VOICE ONLINE AND OFF.
>> I HEAR THAT AS A MAYBE. AND YOU'VE BEEN GETTING THIS
QUESTION FOR A LONG TIME. POINT
