- Well, I'm joined today by a woman who has worn many hats. First Lady, Secretary of State, bestselling author, democratic nominee for president. And you're adding a new title, which is masterclass instructor. Why masterclass and why now?
- I have to say, Sam, when Masterclass approached me and asked if I would participate in this series, I said, well, what would I talk about? And they said, well, you would talk about your life. You would talk about ups and downs and resilience and setbacks and keeping going.
- Let's talk about the speech, which is, for me, it was the highlight, how hard was that, to read out?
- It was so hard when Masterclass said, we'd really like you to read for us, the speech, that you would've given. If you had been elected, I was like, oh wow. No, I really can't do that. and they made a really persuasive argument, they said, look, there's so much in that speech about you, how you think about our country right now, how you think about other people. There's a ending that is about my mother, because I wanted to connect, our past in the country, my personal past with my mother's struggles, with what I wanted to do as president. I'd never had the chance to read it to anybody. I'd read it, I'd worked on it I didn't think I was going to lose so I didn't even have a concession speech prepared. And when it got the time and the cameras were rolling, I could barely get through it in part because of what we know happened since. Look I want any president of the United States, whether they're up my party or not to be successful for the good of the country of our people, the world, it was not only painful personally, it was painful on reflection because I want us to get together and to work together and to support each other. And I don't think that's some kind of naive hope, I think that's how we're going to get things done. It turned out to be emotionally, really cathartic for me.
- Oh, what I thought was really refreshing is seeing you lean into the emotion of the end when you were addressing your mother and you weren't afraid of it.
- How does a woman in the public eye show vulnerability, which we all are, show emotion? Because so often it is still, not accepted, men can express emotion and they're given points for it. And for women, it's such a narrow line to walk because if you are not hitting exactly the right tone, then people will say, well, she can't handle it. Or that was fake, or why is she showing emotion? Or that makes me uncomfortable. I mean, it's a never ending challenge and therefore, I think you just can't worry about it. You just have to be yourself to the best you can be. But even when I was running for president, I would encounter situations particularly as maybe famously known in the second debate with Trump, where he was behaving in such an obnoxious way, and I knew it was meant to both send a message to his supporters, this is, me being alpha male, look at how I could dominate the stage. And it was also meant to intimidate and maybe throw me off. Well, so what was I supposed to do? If I had reacted and turned and confronted him, some people would have applauded and a lot of people would have said, can't take it, if she can't deal with Trump, leering and leaning over her shoulder, how is she going to deal with, you know, fill in the blank. It's a constant balancing act and, it's not easy. And I wish that we could get beyond it, and women would be judged for their ambition, for their vulnerability, for their emotion, the same way men are, but we still have a way to go before we get there.
- Well, you looked back at a lot of these moments in your life that can play into lessons that I think for the audience they can learn. You talk about in terms of dealing with the unexpected, having missiles thrown at you and during speeches, what were the kind of the funnest moments for you to relive in that Masterclass?
- What I really liked is that I kept coming back to this very simple idea. Well, how will my experience relate to the viewers? I have to confess, Sam, I was particularly thinking about young women. [both laughing] And when you're scared to do something, how do you get over your own fear? How do you know whether it's a risk worth taking or not? When you do encounter criticism, which is part of life, it's not just part of being in politics or public service. What do you do with that criticism? How do you deal with it so that you can learn from it, but it doesn't bring you down? I really feel like we covered so much ground that I think there's something in those classes for practically anybody.
- One of the moments that really stook out for me was when you talk about public speaking, which you were so good at, you talked about a lot of female politicians. They don't have the presence of maybe a tall man walking into a room. And the stories of these women standing on boxes and helping, you know, to give a speech. What are your advice for our audience members that want to be seen and heard, and don't feel that they have the presence of secretary Clinton?
- Public speaking in a lot of surveys is the number one fear people have, it's ahead of drowning or dying in a fire or being, attacked by gunman. I mean, it is at the top of the list of fears. And what I hope that I did in the class is to say, everybody feels that way. I've given thousands of speeches, you still get nervous. You are still apprehensive, are you gonna connect with the audience? Are they going to understand what you're saying? And so I think for glamour women, you really do have to be willing to practice, just so you feel comfortable speaking up, just so your voice will be heard. The first woman prime minister of the United Kingdom, as you know, Margaret Thatcher, she took voice lessons. She worked on lowering her voice because the fact is people pay more attention to more manly sounding voices than higher voices. So it's not something that people are just born with you really have to work at it. And I hope that your audience will not be so frightened and the best way to overcome that fear is to think about it, to imagine it, and then to practice.
- When you're talking about criticism and you're saying to take it seriously and not personally, which I think is a really important lesson. Do you think you have this notion of I'm just going to be very straight because I'm not running for something I'm not trying to be elected. Is that something you're trying to get across in the Masterclass?
- Well, it is. And I tried to do that even during my career, but it was a lot harder as you know because when you're in the public eye, you're going to get criticized. And so therefore stop and think, where is the criticism coming from? And sometimes it comes from a good place, but a lot of times it doesn't, and you can't allow that to eat away at your confidence. Now that doesn't mean wall yourself off from criticism because sometimes a fair-minded critic can be your best friend. I mean, if someone says, you know, Sam, what about this? Or why didn't Sam Barry do that? Or Hillary Clinton, why didn't you think about that? Well, maybe that's worth considering, and you can learn something from it. But there's so much toxicity right now in the public arena. And social media has empowered so many people who literally spend all day every day, trying to tear other people down, trying to attack them, insult them, diminish them. You cannot let that control who you are and what you want to do.
- And you talk as well about, there were kind of the double bind that women are in and ambition and sexism. And we're seeing even recently an uptake in the stories around female CEOs and their management style. We've seen a lot of reports about the VPs management style. Do you think some of those reports are gendered and play into that double-bind?
- I really do, now again, I'm not somebody who says all criticism is illegitimate, I think again, you can learn things from criticism. But when you look at the amount of coverage that women receive for how they look, for their appearance, for the tone of their voice, for their management style, I mean, it just goes on and on. It is gendered, it is part of that old double standard where men are just not judged the same way.
- You talk about legacy at the end of the Masterclass. What do you want your legacy to be? And then also what's next in that legacy making of Hillary Clinton?
- I don't think a lot about legacy because I feel like I'm still very much in the present, in the here and now. I want to keep doing the work that I have been doing, standing up for people, particularly children and women in this country and around the world. I want to keep speaking out to defend democracy, stand against bullying, whether it's on the street, against children online or in our government. So I will probably be better able to answer that question, in some years from now, because I don't want to look back. I want to keep looking forward, Sam. I think we're living at such a consequential time and the pandemic has been so disorienting for most people. How do we pick ourselves back up? How do we, get back out into the world? How do we support each other? I mean, these are the questions that are on my mind and, I want to keep being as useful and to live a life of purpose for as long as I can.
- Thank you so much, Secretary Clinton as always an absolute pleasure.
- Thank you.
2016年时，希拉里和特朗普竞争进入白热化，最终希拉里落败，特朗普成为美国第45任总统，时隔近五年后，特朗普都不是总统了，希拉里却公开了她当时精心准备的胜选演讲稿。她多次提及美国民主、团结，提及她的妈妈，提到作为美国首位女总统的历史性成就。好几次都拍着胸脯边读边哭，一副情不自禁的模样，仿佛自己真的胜选了。
她表示她从没给别人读过这个，她希望她的后辈知道他们拥有什么样的国家，还表示“相信那是美国最好的状态”。在她的演讲稿中，美国价值观经久不衰，美国民主依旧强大，美国梦依旧强大。但在她的稿子里，美国的民主显然是建立在她胜选的情况下。
希拉里的演讲稿中，还将自己作为“美国第一位女总统”的成就夸赞一番，称美国女性等这一天等了100年，她表示：“现在每个小男孩和小女孩都能梦想长大后成为美国总统了”，可见，在她的演讲稿中，自己为美国女性实现了“梦想”。
希拉里还用大段描述提到了她的妈妈，她的母亲于2011年去世，她想要在“胜选之夜”将喜悦分享给她的母亲，还称她的母亲被父母抛弃，还被祖父母虐待，但她给予了希拉里无限的爱。在谈及这些时，希拉里一度哽咽，甚至嗓音都变得沙哑了起来。在演讲稿中，她向她的母亲说：“或许你难以想象，你的女儿成了美国总统”。她还为此精心准备了一场庆祝活动
这确实是一份感人的演讲稿，不少她的支持者都表示快看哭了，但事实是，希拉里败选，特朗普成为最终赢家，希拉里只匆匆准备了一份临时安排的演讲，直接表态：“这个国家比我们想的更分裂”，与她准备好要说的“民国民主依旧强大”截然不同。
更有趣的是，希拉里这段演讲视频，其实节选自“大师课”，是希拉里新开的一门课程，教人们学会坚韧，学会过有意义的生活。该平台每月收取用户一定金额的订阅费，有人认为，希拉里就是想为自己的新课宣传，流出的也都是鳄鱼的眼泪。
