Ben Meiselas 0:00
Hillary Clinton is breaking her silence and she is torching Donald Trump. She gave an incredible interview in New York City and she was not holding back about what she thinks about Donald Trump's collapsing term. First, Hillary Clinton mocks Donald Trump for not even knowing where the Strait of Hormuz is on a map. Hillary Clinton's like, you can't make this stuff up. If this was in a movie, you'd walk out because this wasn't believable. Here, play this clip.
Hillary Clinton 0:34
Curiosity about anything going on around him that You know, like when when, you know, he launched the war against Iran and then, you know, out of the White House, you hear that nobody told me about the Strait of Hormuz. I mean, nobody told me they could close the Strait of Hormuz. Where is the Strait of Hormuz? You know, you can't make it up. It's like it's it's like, you know, some. movie that you walk out of because it's so outlandish.
Ben Meiselas 1:05
Dr. Strangelove.
Hillary Clinton 1:06
Yeah, exactly.
Ben Meiselas 1:08
Then Hillary Clinton talks about Donald Trump physically rotting and physically and cognitively deteriorating. Let's play it.

How does Hillary Clinton criticize Trump's knowledge on foreign affairs?

Over a long period of time, you've debated him three times. You've observed him very carefully, obviously. Is he disintegrating? He just turned 80.
Hillary Clinton 1:30
I think he is certainly not what he was. He doesn't come across, at least in the way that he presents himself, with as much energy, you know, falls asleep in lots of public meetings. I mean, poor Joe Biden. I mean, shut his eyes, you know, once or twice. But Donald Trump is, like, falling asleep all the time these days. But part of that is he stays up all night posting on True Social. So he's, you know, he's not getting enough sleep anyway, which is pretty... disturbing because I don't think people who are sleep deprived make good decisions on top of everything else. But I really think he has a number of traits that have gotten more obvious. He doesn't even try to hide them. his impulsivity, his immaturity.
Ben Meiselas 2:33
Then Hillary Clinton really knows how to get under Donald Trump's skin. She said, of course Putin was helpful to Donald Trump's election win because Putin knows exactly what kind of weak and pathetic leader Donald Trump is. Let's watch right over here.
Hillary Clinton 2:54
He's basically... I must say he loves you.
I have never seen somebody speak so harshly of anyone as to watch Putin speaking about Hillary Clinton.
Hillary Clinton 3:05
Well, I wear it as a badge of honor, but it did help. You know, contrary to what you hear from Donald Trump, he did help Donald Trump win. And partly because he knew what kind of leader I would be compared to, you know, Donald, whom he knew would not.
Ben Meiselas 3:26
Hillary Clinton explains how she negotiated with Iran and how it's very different from how the Trump regime was so careless and reckless and catastrophic. Here's what she says right here.
Hillary Clinton 3:40
I started the negotiations that led to the JCPOA, the agreement that President Obama eventually signed. It was an intensive diplomatic effort. We started by getting the UN Security Council to impose sanctions, global sanctions on Iran in June of 2010. you know, work to get secret negotiations started through Oman. And those began with several meetings and with a, you know, a plan about going forward and which I handed off to my successor, John Kerry. But these were serious negotiations with high-level people. So when we sat across a table from Iranians, we had our own nuclear physicists there, as did they. We had experienced diplomats, people who had negotiated on many different fronts for many years.
Hillary Clinton 4:37
That's not the way this administration does its business. And so I think we have come out weaker. We've caused a lot of both confusion and I think some distrust in the larger region about what our goals were and what our staying power is. So I believe until we see the agreement, which allegedly will be signed on Friday in Geneva, we don't know what's in it, and we don't know what's left out of it, and we don't know how it's going to be spun, but it doesn't seem to me that it's going to be an effective maneuver by Trump to claim some kind of victory.
Ben Meiselas 5:24
And here Hillary Clinton really articulates the threat that Donald Trump poses.
