Clinton appeared in the Sept. 27 premiere of the Candice Bergen-led sitcom — but not as herself. Instead, she was “Hilary,” a woman who said she is often mistaken for the former presidential candidate but actually spells her name with only one “L.” She arrived at Murphy’s new cable news show, “Murphy in the Morning,” to interview for the “secretarial position.”
“Your reputation proceeds you, but I want you to know I’m not afraid of hard work, I’m qualified, and I’m ready on day one,” Clinton said to Murphy at the start of her interview.
Murphy went on to ask if she had any secretarial experience (“For four years I was the secretary … of a very large organization,” she replied) and if she had experience with technology and teamwork.
“I do have some experience with emails,” she said. And on the topic of how many people it takes to run a production, she relied on another one of her campaign mottos: “Everyone works together, it takes a village.”
Hillary Clinton is adding at least one late-night stop to her upcoming media tour.
The former Secretary of State and Democratic presidential candidate will appear on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert on Sept. 19, it was announced Thursday.
This marks her first late-night visit since she was defeated by Donald Trump in the Nov. 2016 presidential election and just her second appearance on Late Show since Colbert succeeded Letterman as host. She previously appeared in October 2015.
Set your alarm clock! Set your DVR! With Hillary’s book set to debut in just days, she is about to launch a series of TV appearances starting with an interview with Jane Pauley on CBS’s Sunday Morning. Check your local listings.
With a new book to promote, Hillary Clinton is preparing to re-enter the public eye. Her first stop: a sit-down with Jane Pauley on “CBS Sunday Morning” this coming weekend.
It will be Clinton’s first television interview since the 2016 presidential campaign, and the first interview about her memoir, “What Happened,” a retrospective on her failed White House bid that will officially hit shelves next week.
For Pauley and CBS, the booking is a coup. Clinton has mostly kept a low profile since her stunning loss to Donald Trump last year. She’s been photographed on walks through the woods and in other random locations, but her interactions with the media have been limited.
Clinton did give an interview to New York Magazine in May in which she called the election night loss to Trump “a crushing, devastating blow.”
Yesterday in Cincinnati, Hillary sat down with Charlie Rose. A portion of the interview aired this morning on CBS. The full interview aired on PBS this afternoon. It may repeat at 11 EDT tonight.
Charlie tried to cajole her into giving him a running-mate scoop. She stood firm.
Charlie tried also to wear her down on the “unpopular” meme, and she laughed charmingly, told him she got a lot of votes, thinks she’s pretty popular, and intends to be more popular. We agree, Hillary!
With Jake Tapper on CNN’s State of the Union, Hillary discussed, among other things, the water crisis in Flint, Michigan (where she is going today), the Sanders campaign allegations on banking influences, and the “shout out” from male pundits.
She is very well-informed on the subject of lead poisoning from both a medical and an infrastructure point of view. She knows what needs to be done, medically, for the children exposed to the toxic water, and she also knows what needs to be done to the water lines. Do any other candidates from either party have the battery of information on this subject that Hillary has?
She explained, once again, how her financial plan is broader than Bernie Sanders’s plan as she also is going after giant corporations that gouge the public and evade taxes. She said she doesn’t understand why he doesn’t join her in this battle.
As to the shouting, she said we all know that we are still dealing with a double standard and that sexism is not a thing of the past. By the way, anyone who listened to her at her Portsmouth event last night must admit that her normal tone at rallies is conversational not the full-volume blast that Bernie continually puts out.
Great quote: “Anger’s not a plan and venting’s not a strategy.”
On This Week with George Stephanopoulos, she voiced her appreciation of Bernie’s SNL stint. She also took on the extreme remarks of Marco Rubio on abortion in last night’s GOP debate. There, too, she took on the spin about the bankruptcy bill – specifically with regard to the effect of the proposals on separated and divorced women and their children. She said she is not going to take the Sanders smears anymore, but largely, she was arguing against comments by Elizabeth Warren there. As to the Goldman Sachs speeches, she said everyone who has given speeches to private organizations should then release their transcripts and the standard, if this is going to be the new standard, should apply to all.
She also discussed the Flint situation on Meet the Press. (That repeats later on MSNBC.) She was on Face the Nationas well. That repeats later on CBSN.
Charlie Rose interviewed Hillary in two segments that aired on “CBS This Morning” today. She spoke about her plan to combat ISIS: sending combat troops would not be her strategy. She also addressed her Wall St. ties. She said anyone who thinks support from Wall St. would influence her does not know her. As to why she is running for president, with the White House in the background, she said it is not to move back in there. She called this election a watershed moment when we can either get the economy back on track for the majority, or we will find ourselves back in the economy of the 1920s. The full interview will re-air this evening on Charlie Rose’s PBS program.
Later today, she will be in Montgomery, Alabama keynoting an event commemorating Rosa Parks and the bus boycott that began with her refusal to give up her seat.
In her first television interview since the Paris attacks, Hillary Clinton spoke to “CBS This Morning” co-host Charlie Rose about her plans to fight the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and controversies over her ties with Wall Street.
Sticking by President Obama’s current strategy, the former secretary of state said she could not “conceive of any circumstances” where she would agree to send American combat troops to fight ISIS in Syria and Iraq.
“We don’t know yet how many Special Forces… trainers and surveillance and enablers might be needed,” Clinton told Rose at the Hay Adams, across the White House. “But in terms of thousands of combat troops like some on the Republican side are recommending… it should be a non-starter, both because I don’t think it’s the smartest way to go after ISIS – I think it gives ISIS a new recruitment tool if we get back in the fight.”
Covering topics from Benghazi to Syria, from The Donald to the Dems, and from health care to the economy, Hillary Clinton sat down with John Dickerson for a Sunday morning in depth one-on-one. She was detailed, authoritative, and unhesitating in response to a wide range of questions and thoroughly relaxed in her signature warm and personable way.
Hillary reminded the audience that when Benghazi was under attack other embassies also were being threatened, i.e. more than one mission (anywhere from 12-18) was under some form of assault. Benghazi was one of these.
She also spoke of her efforts early to to prevent the crisis we see today for the Syrian people – efforts that have been outlined here many timesbefore.
While she faulted Donald Trump in particular for fostering a toxic, biased atmosphere, and Republican candidates in general for attacking policies and programs from Planned Parenthood to Obamacare, she refused to make any statement about Democratic opponents declared or otherwise. She made it crystal clear that the battle right now is between the major parties and not among Democrats. She also made it clear that she considers Bernie Sanders to be under the latter umbrella. “I want this to be about ideas and about policies.” She stated that she has no interest in attacking Bernie. (I hope everyone on her side of the campaign heard that loud and clear.)
As for persistent declarations that her persona is inauthentic, she laughed it all off rather musically. That is the real Hillary, folks!
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said Sunday that the United States should accept 65,000 refugees from Syria to help alleviate the humanitarian crisis created by the war there.
“We’re facing the worst refugee crisis since the end of World War II and I think the United States has to do more,” the former secretary of state said Sunday on CBS’ “Face the Nation.” “I would like to see us move from what is a good start with 10,000 to 65,000 and begin immediately to put into place the mechanisms for vetting the people that we would take in.”
She said there should be a focus on admitting the most vulnerable, like persecuted religious minorities, or those who had been brutalized, like the Yazidi women.
Clinton also said, “I want the United States to lead the world,” and said the United Nations Secretary General should call for a meeting at the upcoming U.N. General Assembly meeting in which countries make specific commitments about to provide money and aid.
Hillary Clinton said she and her team are not taking steps to prepare for a possible late entry into the Democratic presidential primary by Vice President Joe Biden.
“This is such a personal decision and the vice president has to sort this out,” Clinton said Sunday on CBS’ “Face the Nation.” “He’s been so open in talking about how difficult this time is for him and his family and he’s obviously considering what he wants to do including whether he wants to run.”
“I just have the greatest respect and affection for him and I think everybody just ought to give him the space to decide what’s best for his family,” she added.
Hillary was with longtime pal and supporter Charles Rangel at the Congressional Black Caucus Dinner in D.C. on Saturday evening after a hugely well-received appearance at the New Hampshire Democratic Conventionearlier in the day. We are all ever grateful to Charlie for spiriting Hillary to New York and encouraging her to run for the Senate.

(CBS News) — This Sunday on Face the Nation, John Dickerson sits down with Democratic Presidential Candidate Hillary Clinton in her first Sunday show interview in almost four years.
We’ll talk to the former secretary of state about the news of the day, both at home and abroad, the state of her campaign, and what it’s like running as an establishment candidate in a campaign that’s shaping up, so far, as the year of the outsider.
Outgoing Sec. of State Hillary Clinton will sit for interviews with the five major news networks this week, POLITICO has confirmed.
Clinton spokesperson Phillipe Reines told POLITICO that Sec. Clinton was “sitting with all five US networks before leaving office on Friday.”
Those five networks are Fox News, CNN, NBC, ABC and CBS, which aired its joint interview with Sec. Clinton and President Obama Sunday night on 60 Minutes.
This just came in from the Democratic Headquarters, and it serves as as good a reminder as any that you might want to tune in to 60 Minutes on CBS this evening. It is kind of odd, though, that while Mme. Secretary has been consistently brilliant, assiduous, self-sacrificing, dedicated, and indefatigable throughout her tenure at State, this is the first email I have received from HQ even mentioning her. I have been on their email list since 2004. Seems they just figured out that she is a Democrat. How bizarre is that? Well she certainly does deserve their thanks, and ours.
Thank you, dear Mme. Secretary, for everything you have done!
Friends — did you hear?
President Obama and Secretary of State Clinton will be on “60 Minutes” tonight.
You should definitely tune in. It could be the last time they appear together before Hillary steps down as Secretary of State, and it’s truly the end of an era.
By the way, have you signed our card thanking Hillary for almost 30 years of service to our nation? We have almost 300,000 signatures!

Hillary Clinton’s Cover Letter to Congress on the ARB Report
Hillary because…
She would NEVER have allowed social safety nets to be "on the table."
Read the unclassified ARB Report on Benghazi here.
@U.S. Senate: Time to ratify LOST!
"... ratify the Law of the Sea Convention, which has provided the international framework for exploring these new opportunities in the Arctic. We abide by the international law that undergirds the convention, but we think the United States should be a member, because the convention sets down the rules of the road that protect freedom of navigation, provide maritime security, serve the interests of every nation that relies on sea lanes for commerce and trade, and also sets the framework for exploration for the natural resources that may be present in the Arctic." -HRC, 06-03-12, Tromso Norway
"I deeply resent those who attack our country, the generosity of our people and the leadership of our president in trying to respond to historically disastrous conditions after the earthquake." - HRC 01-26-10
Good Advice!
“You can’t keep snakes in your backyard and expect them only to bite your neighbors. Eventually those snakes are going to turn on whoever has them in the backyard.” HRC
Hillary! Leadership we need!
Politics & Foreign Policy
"What I have always found is that when it comes to foreign policy, it is important to remember that politics stops at the water's edge." -HRC 11-04-10
What a difference one woman can make!

And that woman is right here, the woman who needs no introduction, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton." 07.05.10 - Unidentified speaker, Embassy Yerevan
Most Respected
"So, ladies and gentlemen, I give you your Secretary of State, and perhaps the most respected person on the world stage today, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton." - Jon Huntsman 05-23-2010
