Hillary Clinton’s Recode Interview Means We NEED More Of Her NOW!

Does Hillary have dementia or what’s the problem here? She can’t be this insane, can she?

You can watch the video here but I would caution against it. It’s that bad.

Full transcript here but why on earth would you want to read it? Just read my cherry picked statements and commentary.

It opens to Clinton walking out to Katy Perry’s ‘Roar’ with the lyrics “I am a champion and you’re gonna hear me roar.” I found that ironic because she lost. She lost the election in a landslide. Sure, she won the popular vote but that means nothing. That’s not how you win a presidential election. Wasn’t Bill able to tell her that?

Clinton: The overriding issue that affected the election that I had any control over — because I had no control over the Russians, too bad about that

Yeah, tell that the states you actually ignored and assumed you’d win. But yes, Russians.

…was the way that the use of my email account was turned into the biggest scandal since lord knows when.

Not an email account, you had an entire email server which is illegal. It doesn’t matter how you phrase it, you had an illegal email server because the NSA would not design a secured Blackberry for you.

Well, if you went all the way back, doing something that others had done before was no longer acceptable in the new environment in which we found ourselves. And there was no law against it, there was no rule, nothing of that sort.

The context is still on her email server. Others have not done it before as she is referring to people like Colin Powell who had a private email address for non-confidential/classified email use only (he used a secure computer for the rest). The only person outside of the RNC/GWB having an email server was Governor Jeb Bush. Literally, that is it. See, she wants to continue to say all she did was use an email account to blur the lines of what’s fact vs. fiction. Scroll down to the end of this article to see specifically what laws she violated.

So unaccountable money flowing in against me, against other Democrats, in a way that we hadn’t seen and then attached to this weaponized information war.

She says that but here is a picture that says the opposite. Yes, it’s from WaPo but it had the best visuals. It’s funny that on paper, more money was raised and spent on the democrat side at the end of the day. So her claim is just another lie trying to use the blame game.

That is in the context of utilizing social media like Trump did to weaponize it:

And what we thought we were doing — here’s the arena we were playing in — was going to like Obama 3.0, you know, better targeting, better messaging, and the ability to both turn out our voters as we identified them, and to communicate more broadly with voters.

Yet she lost.

If you look at Facebook, the vast majority of the news items posted were fake. They were connected to, as we now know, the 1,000 Russian agents who were involved in delivering those messages.

1,000 Russian agents were on Facebook creating fake news? I can’t seem to find actual evidence of this.

We see now this new information about Trump’s Twitter account being populated by millions of bots.

Trump’s Twitter account is populated by bots? Always putting the blame on someone else. Her own account has less than 50% real people following her. At least Trump is able to get over 50%. This is actually a big issue with Twitter and their bot problem. There was a recent study where Twitter has between 9% to 15% of their user base are bots. Around 48 million users. Twitter could do something about it but chooses not to. They have full control.

Let me just do a comparison for you. I set up my campaign and we have our own data operation. I get the nomination. So I’m now the nominee of the Democratic Party. I inherit nothing from the Democratic Party. I mean it was bankrupt, it was on the verge of insolvency, its data was mediocre to poor, nonexistent, wrong. I had to inject money into it …

Really? Let’s hear from the actual people who worked for the DNC including the main guy behind the data at the time, Andrew Therriault.

This last Tweet from Eric Heggie says it all. They relied on their own data, not the data from the DNC.

Donald Trump, who did nothing about really setting up any kind of data operation, inherits an RNC data foundation that, after the Republicans lost in 2012, and they thought they had a very good operation with the setup that Romney did called ORCA, they thought that was really state of the art, they lose.

Hillary/her campaign were so arrogant that they refused to use the DNC’s data and used their own so she really doesn’t have a leg to stand on.

Now, if you’ve ever read the John Podesta emails, they are anodyne to boredom.

Well, except one of the best examples that it showcased were the hundreds of emails from journalists and reporters asking for confirmation of a story prior to publishing. They wanted feedback and asked about what they should mention in their puff pieces.

We went and told everybody we could find in the middle of the summer, the Russians were messing with the election. And we were basically shooed away, like, “Oh you know, there she goes, vast right-wing conspiracy.” Now it’s a vast Russian conspiracy. Well, turned out we were right. And we saw evidence of it.

Umm, no, there was no evidence and there still isn’t any.

Mossberg: You’re talking about Nate Silver and the Times. “She has an 88 percent … No she has an 89 percent chance.” Yeah. And you know, I never believed that, I always thought it was going to be a close election because our elections are always close.

Except she did. Why else would she not campaign more in Florida and Ohio or Michigan and Pennsylvania? Because she was arrogant. She thought she had it in the bag.

And we had a really good … we had a great tech program. We had a really good set of policies.

Of course you did. 😉

Context below is regarding media coverage over Trump.

In 2016, despite my best efforts and giving endless speeches and putting out all kinds of stuff, we got 32 minutes. That’s all.

Swisher: So does that signify that you need to think about campaign … Not you in particular. Are you running again, by the way? No.

I won three million more votes than the other guy did [cheers, applause]. And I had a very, very close contest. Basically our votes were neck and neck. He ended up with more delegates and you know, depending on how you counted, I was slightly ahead, slightly behind. So we were absolutely on par when it came to actually getting votes.

I already addressed this above but I will say it again. It doesn’t matter if you win or lose the popular vote. The electoral college is what matters. It was put in place precisely for people like Clinton who just outright ignored states. If you ignore entire populations of people, you probably don’t deserve to be president.

And at some point it sort of bleeds into misogyny. And let’s just be honest, you know, people who have … [applause] a set of expectations about who should be president and what a president looks like, you know, they’re going to be much more skeptical and critical of somebody who doesn’t look like and talk like and sound like everybody else who’s been president.

On misogyny — keep saying that and the right will continue to win. In fact, speak out more and say that is why you lost every day. There is a set of expectations of what a president should be? What they should look like and talk like? Maybe that’s why Trump won. You ever think about that? Maybe people are so fed up with our political system that they pick someone who is nothing like a normal candidate.

Well you know, but we’ve got two very good political strategists running the Senate and the House for Democrats, Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer.

All I have to say is this: Nancy Pelosi still refers to Trump as George W. Bush and seems to forget things pretty easily. I think we’re fine on that front.

Mossberg: This is because Hollywood isn’t liberal enough? [laughter] No, it’s because Democrats aren’t putting their money there.

The overwhelming majority of Hollywood are democrats and supported Hillary with open arms and wallets. Literally.

Swisher: So when you think about that … One of the things that we were also talking about last night is Republicans own local television stations, they own radio, they’re better at the internet, that got that cable going — although there’s some issues they have over there at Fox News these days. What do you do then? Where do you leapfrog?

Not a quote from Hillary but are they serious? The left has a huge monopoly on the news media both on the internet, in print, and on cable. I’m honestly not sure on radio so I can’t comment there.

Swisher: So where’s the in? Technologically? This goes back to the institution building. Because the media forces on the Republican side are entrenched and very effective.

For real here? She had almost the entirety of the media criticizing Trump while praising her.

This Harvard study shows Clinton is just verifiably false and she knows it.

Swisher: What do you think about Jeff Bezos owning the Washington Post? I think that Jeff Bezos saves the Washington Post. I think his purchasing the Washington Post … [applause] Which you know, I think a lot of people, a lot of his peers and friends thought, “Why would you buy this ancient medium called a newspaper?” But newspapers, like the Post, the Journal, the Times, a few others, still drive news. Drives news online, drives news on TV.

Well, yeah, of course it drives the news when you’re publishing factually false content. Read my article here if you want more info on that. It also links to the other articles I’ve written about the fake news.

and they’re doing some of the best investigations about what’s going on with the White House now.

Same context as above. They’re making up sources for ad revenue/subscriptions and clicks.

You know, look. I’m not going anywhere [applause]. I have a big stake in what happens in this country. I am very, you know, unbowed and unbroken about what happened, because I don’t want it to happen to anybody else.

AKA: She wants the power and ‘deserves’ the power.

We had a 40,000-person rally with Barack and Michelle and the president had been following it closely. Those of you who know him, he was running his own polling, running his own analytics. And you know, and we thought we were going to win.

So, a massive waste of taxpayer money is what you’re saying?

I was under a lot of pressure from Comey, WIkiLeaks, voter suppression, fake news, all of that. And that’s kind of what happened.

Yeah, nothing to do with you as a candidate and you running an awful campaign. Nope.

Now, in the best of all worlds, if they would set up not a non-partisan, bi-partisan outside committee like we did for 9/11, and put people of unimpeachable integrity, both Republicans and Democrats, liberals and conservatives, but people who were willing to go where the facts led them, that would be ideal. I don’t see that happening right now.

Well, right now you have Muller, the House and Senate committees, and the FBI. How many more do you need? The House and Senate committees are both bipartisan. Muller is the independent aspect to it and the FBI is the FBI. They will continue to investigate regardless of politics. Well, unless you’re James Comey.

Well, I will tell you. We thought we were doing really well in Wisconsin. I spent a lot of time in Pennsylvania, a lot of time in Florida. We sent a lot of great surrogates including Tim Kaine and others to Wisconsin. We watched up until the very end how Russ Feingold was winning. And you know, you make these scheduling decisions based on the best information that you have, and it turned out that our information was not as reliable as I wished it had been.

Except the DNC’s data said you needed to be more active in Wisconsin and you ignored it.

Overall, we need more of Clinton. The more she blames everyone else for her problems, the more everyone will walk back from supporting her. We need the crazy people on the left in the spotlight and we need them on camera. More of people like Kathy Griffin and Maxine Waters. It only helps the right when they do this and I have a gut feeling they will continue.
