IN NEW YORK CITY.
CHECK IT OUT.
ROLL IT.
>> I INTEND TO WORK MY HEART
OUT TO ELECT DEMOCRATS UP AND
DOWN THE TICKET THIS NOVEMBER.
>> Bill: SO HILLARY CLINTON
MAKING A RETURN TO PUBLIC LIFE
AND POLITICS.
NEW YORK DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION
LATE YESTERDAY.
FIRST MAJOR SPEECH AHEAD OF
THIS YEAR’S MID-TERMS AND
PROMISED IT WON’T BE HER LAST.
REINCE PRIEBUS FORMER WHITE
HOUSE CHIEF OF STAFF AND MARK
PENN FORMER POLLSTER FOR BILL
CLINTON.
GREAT TO HAVE YOU BOTH.
REINCE, WHAT DID YOU HEAR
YESTERDAY?
>> WELL, I HEAR A CANDIDATE
THAT HASN’T DONE LATELY A
SELF-AWARENESS CHECK.
IT IS ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS
YOU DO WHAT ARE MY WEAKNESSES
AND WHAT AM I ALL ABOUT AS A
CANDIDATE?
SHE IS A PERSON THAT DOES NOT
HAVE AN ACCURATE VIEW OF
HERSELF.
SHE IS A PERSON WHO IS TRYING
TO SELL HERSELF NOW AS A
UNIFYER WHEN IN FACT IN 2008
SHE WENT TOE-TO-TOE WITH BARACK
OBAMA AND GOUGED EACH OTHER’S
EYES OUT UNTIL JUNE.
OBAMA BECAME THE NOMINEE.
SAME IN 2016 AND BERNIE SANDERS
AND MAY AND JUNE.
SHE IS A PERSON WHO IS VERY
DIVISIVE.
SHE DIVIDE HER PARTY.
INDEPENDENCE DIDN’T VOTE FOR
HER IN 2016.
SHE WILL DIVIDE AGAIN.
THE LAST POINT.
THE PROBLEM WITH THE UNIFIER
MESSAGE SHE IS TRYING TO SELL
IT DOESN’T WORK IN THE MEDIA,
IN PUBLIC, IN POLITICS,
UNIFYING MESSAGES UNFORTUNATELY
ARE DEAD DOG LOSERS AND
DIVISION IS PROFIT.
SHE IS TRYING TO SELL SOMETHING
THAT DOESN’T WORK AND SHE IS
NOT WHO SHE SAYS SHE IS.
>> Bill: MARK, YOU ARE A
NUMBERS MAN.
WHAT DOES YOUR POLLING TELL YOU?
WHAT DOES YESTERDAY’S
APPEARANCE TELL YOU?
IS SHE LAYING THE FOUNDATION TO
GET BACK IN THE GAME?
>> WELL, I’M SURPRISED TO HEAR
FROM REINCE THAT KIND OF ALMOST
FEAR OF HILLARY COMING BACK.
MOST REPUBLICANS WOULD BE
REALLY HAPPY TO HAVE HER BACK
IN THE RING BECAUSE HER NUMBERS
RIGHT NOW ARE MUCH LOWER THAN
EITHER JOE BIDEN’S OR DONALD
TRUMP’S.
EVEN IN A REPUBLICAN PRIMARY IN
A RECENT HARRIS POLL SHE GOT
ABOUT 11% OF THE DEMOCRATIC
PRIMARY VOTE.
SO I DON’T THINK WITH CURRENT
NUMBERS SHE IS MAKING A
COMEBACK NOR WILL SHE REALLY BE
TALKING DURING THE ELECTION
CAMPAIGN AT ANYWHERE BUT THE
MOST SECURE DEMOCRATIC AREAS.
LOOK, I WAS WITH HILLARY FOR A
LONG TIME.
I KNOW SHE WILL LOOK AT THE
RACE.
ANY SMART POLITICIAN WOULD.
SHE WOULDN’T RUN AGAINST THE
PRESIDENT OR A VICE PRESIDENT
BUT IF BOTH OF THEM SHOULD DROP
OUT AND THINGS ARE OPEN SHE
WILL BE THERE.
I TAKE HER AT HER WORD SHE WILL
DO EVERYTHING SHE CAN TO HELP
DEMOCRATS THIS YEAR.
>> Bill: THAT ANSWER IS A NO
BUT YOU TELL ME.
ANOTHER CLIP FROM YESTERDAY.
SHE WENT HARD AFTER REPUBLICANS
WITH THIS SOUND BITE HERE.
>> TO BE CLEAR TO ALL OF US
THAT THE STRUGGLE FOR A UNITY
AND DEMOCRACY IS FAR FROM OVER.
REPUBLICANS ARE DEFENDING COUP
PLOTTERS AND CURBING VOTING
RIGHTS AT PRECISELY THE MOMENT
WHEN DEMOCRACY NEEDS CHAMPIONS.
DEMOCRATS ARE FIGHTING FOR THE
RULE OF LAW AND FOR JUDGES WHO
FOLLOW IT.
>> Bill: NOTHING ON CRIME,
NOTHING ON COVID, NOTHING ON
SCHOOLS BEING SHUT DOWN FOR
MORE THAN A YEAR, NOTHING ON
THE BORDER.
ALL OF THOSE ISSUES I KNOW MARK
PENN RANKS HIGHLY IN THE
POLLING YOU’VE DONE.
REINCE, SHE DID NOT ADDRESS ANY
OF THAT.
>> NO, AND TO MARK’S POINT I’M
NOT FEARFUL OF HILLARY.
I’M CHEERING HER ON AND WANT
HER TO RUN.
35% FAVORABLE RATING AS A
CANDIDATE.
SHE IS NOT GOING TO GET THROUGH
A DEMOCRAT PRIMARY EVEN IF SHE
RAN.
THEN SHE WOULD HAVE A
SUPERCHARGED REPUBLICAN BASE
THAT WANTS HER TO ANSWER
QUESTIONS ON WHAT SHE KNEW
ABOUT THIS SPYGATE ISSUE AND
WHAT SHE -- WHO SHE HIRED, WHAT
DID HER CAMPAIGN DO?
WAS SHE INVOLVED IN MAKING THE
SURVEILLANCE OF TRUMP TOWER AND
THE WHITE HOUSE OF PRESIDENT
TRUMP?
SHE TALKS ABOUT UNIFYING THE
PARTY.
SHE HAS A LOT OF QUESTIONS THAT
NEED TO BE ANSWERED AND SOME OF
HER LAWYERS WORKING FOR HER ARE
ANSWERING THOSE QUESTIONS RIGHT
NOW WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF
JUSTICE.
>> Bill: A COUPLE SECONDS, MARK.
GO.
>> LOOK, I DON’T THINK THAT SHE
IS REALLY TOUCHED BY WHAT
DURHAM PUT OUT.
I THINK THE TECH EXECUTIVE HAS
A LOT OF PROBLEMS.
I THINK HILLARY LIKE ANY
POLITICIAN IF SHE CAN HELP
DEMOCRATS SHE WILL BUT I DON’T
SEE HER RUNNING FOR THE
PRESIDENCY BUT SHE WILL LOOK AT
