"Thirty years ago, I thought I was gonna have a very different day when I woke up. I went jogging with the winners of the Boston Marathon, giving me the illusion and illusion it was, that I was somehow pretty fit. And then I got back to the White House, and the devastating news. That truck bomb, as you all know better than I, claimed 168 lives; 19 of them were little children in the building’s daycare center."

4. SOUNDBITE (English) Bill Clinton, Former U.S. President:
"The domestic terrorists who did this awful thing believed that it would spark a nationwide upheaval against the American government. And would eventually destroy our government, our democracy and our way of life. Instead, you gave them, as the mayor said so eloquently, the ‘Oklahoma Standard.’ You gave them service, honor and kindness."

6. SOUNDBITE (English) Bill Clinton, Former U.S. President:
"In recent years the country has grown more polarized. And on that awful day 30 years ago, you were the center of the polarization. Now look what you’ve built, and yet we have these differences. And it seems to me, I listen to this a lot because I’m old and I can’t run for anything anymore. I always get, I’m almost as old as President Trump. But, but…If you listen to a lot of what I read and hear today, it’s like these, everybody’s arguing about whose resentments matter most."

8. SOUNDBITE (English) Bill Clinton, Former U.S. President:
"I still remember as if it were 30 minutes ago coming here with Hillary to that memorial service and saying, ‘You have lost too much, but you have not lost everything.’ You have certainly not lost America, and we will be with you for as many tomorrows as it takes. I do think we kept that commitment. Lord knows we tried. But today, Oklahoma City, America needs you. I wish to goodness every American could just see life unfold here, hear these stories."

STORYLINE:
Thirty years after the deadliest homegrown attack in U.S. history, former President Bill Clinton returned to Oklahoma City on Saturday to remember the people who were killed and comfort those affected by the bombing.
Clinton was president on April 19, 1995, when a truck bomb exploded, destroying a nine-story federal building in downtown Oklahoma City. He delivered the keynote address at a remembrance ceremony near the Oklahoma City National Memorial Museum.
Clinton, now 78, was widely praised for how he helped the city grapple with its grief in the wake of the bombing, which killed 168 people, including 19 children. He says it was a day in his presidency that he will never forget.
“I still remember as if it were 30 minutes ago, coming here with Hillary to that memorial service and saying: ‘You have lost too much, but you have not lost everything. You have certainly not lost America, and we will be with you for as many tomorrows as it takes,’” Clinton said, recalling his first visit to Oklahoma City just days after the bombing, when he spoke at a memorial service for the victims.
“I do think we’ve kept that commitment,” C;omtopm said.
Clinton has visited the Oklahoma City National Memorial Museum numerous times in the years since the bombing and delivered speeches on major anniversaries.
