Bill and Hillary Clinton launched their 13-city paid speaking tour in a Canadian hockey arena Tuesday evening, where there were banks of empty seats and the power couple accused President Trump of joining a Saudi 'cover-up.'
The Clintons riffed on issues ranging form the U.S. elections to the Iran deal, the killing of Osama bin Laden, and the murder of Saudi dissident Khashoggi, and got a warm reception from the crowd as they jabbed at the Trump administration from north of the border.
'What makes this so troubling is how much commercial interest both the president's family and business and his son in law's family and business have with the kingdom,' said Hillary Clinton in one of a series of shots at President Trump, who defeated her in 2016.

WNU Editor: A friend got me a ticket to see them tonight in Montreal. The cost of my ticket is $438 .... which makes me wonder about my friend on why would he spends this type of money (he loves the Clintons). So expect a report when I get home late tonight.
Ugh, not even free tickets would interest me to go to the event. However, I'll give you a pass since your in the Media and this is a function of your career. :)
ReplyDeletebut you would go to listen the Trump?
ReplyDeleteYes I would! MAGA
DeleteAnon,
ReplyDeleteIf a world leader .... former or present .... comes to Montreal. Yes, I will make a point of going to see them. The last former President that I saw was President Obama last year. I saw President Clinton give a speech about 15 years ago. I will definitely go see President Trump if the opportunity presents itself.
I wouldn't even go if people were to pay me to go listen to them. Such a snooze fest, mixed with self entitlement and hatred /disdain for people who would dare not to vote for her. .God please don't go. If you can still bail, bail. You'll never get that time back and those two will keep doing this
Delete"...If that was raked in the beginning, there’d be nothing to catch on fire. It’s very interesting to see. A lot of the trees, they took tremendous burn at the bottom, but they didn’t catch on fire. The bottom is all burned but they didn’t catch on fire because they sucked the water, they’re wet. You need forest management, and they don’t have it."
ReplyDeleteI would go see the guy who said this. Much to ponder.
WNU, is there going to be a Q&A at the end? If so, have you planned to ask anything and what are you going to ask?
ReplyDeletePolicy differences aside, what I always find fascinating about meeting/seeing a world leader is how they talk, how they interact with the audience, their humor, their body language, to see them unscripted and spontaneous with the audience. With this as my benchmark, former President Clinton and current Russian Prime Minister Medvedev are tops on my list. I may disagree with them, but they are smart, funny, and they know how to articulate their point of view clearly. Biggest disappointment was seeing former President Obama last year. He may have had an off night, but I was underwhelmed. Another disappointment is current Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau.
ReplyDeleteHans,
ReplyDeleteThese Q&As are always scripted. I am 99% sure that they will not accept questions from the audience that have not been screened. But .... if I do get a chance .... I will ask former President Clinton if he is still open to doing business with Russia, or has the current Washington political climate and sanctions put Russia on his black list. Follow-up question .... will the rise of China continue, even with the growing backlash against the country within Asia and elsewhere.
Ask them why donations to their charity dropped about 30 million (or 55%) after she lost the presidency. Pay to play?
DeleteSuch coincidence. Such corruption. Much wow
WNU Editor. Looking forward to your review!
ReplyDeletego. do not go. do not pay attention to any comments here. do what you want. it is your time and your money. remarks here are busybodies not taking care of their own lives
ReplyDeleteI’ll be very interested in the size of their audience.
ReplyDeleteI saw one article talking of lots of empty seats: true or fake news?
