Hillary Clinton’s First Talk Show after Announcing her Presidential Candidacy

Hillary Clinton’s First Talk Show after Announcing her Presidential Candidacy

Since announcing her candidacy, In her first talk-show visit, Hillary Clinton largely remained away from weighty topics, though she did touch on a couple of serious subjects.

 

Appearing on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, which taped earlier in the week and aired Thursday, the Democratic presidential front-runner Mrs. Clinton addressed questions of whether, at  67, she might be too old to serve as president.

 

 

 

 

“I would be the youngest woman ever elected,’’ said Clinton, echoing a line she used during her campaign kickoff event in June.2015

She also repeated an apology she first issued earlier this week over  her use of a private email server as secretary of State. She also said she was disappointed that Republican candidates didn’t offer more concrete policy ideas during their first debate.

On a lighter note, Clinton said that : “I’m fine with Grandma, I’m fine with Madam President.’’

A 5-year-old guest host named Macey Hensley, who’d memorized a series of presidential factoids, asked Clinton if it’s true that she hasn’t driven a car in 20 years.

“It’s not quite that long but pretty close,’’ Clinton said, citing Secret Service protection guidelines. “But I used to love to drive a car.’’

Other highlights include:

• Clinton performing the Whip/Nae Nae, a dance from DJ Stephen “Twitch’’ Boss.
• Comedienne Amy Schumer gliding across the stage in a blue body suit and red skates. When DeGeneres refused to join her, she asked Clinton instead. “I love her. I love the fact that she’s going after gun violence,’’ said Clinton.

Mrs. Hillary Clinton Calls for “Common Sense” Gun Reforms in USA

Mrs. Hillary Clinton Calls for “Common Sense” Gun Reforms in USA

In the aftermath of tragic gun shooting at a historical black church in Charleston, South Carolina, Mrs. Hillary Clinton insisted Americans to involve in a wider debate about race so as to establish a more inclusive American society.  She also promised to wage a war for “common sense” reforms to the country’s gun laws. 

While addressing the 83^rd annual general meeting of the U.S. Conference of Mayors in San Francisco, Mrs. Hillary pledged to carry out what Mr Obama was unable to do as of now - to enact a new legislation to curb the gun violence. 

She advocated that America should have common sense gun law reforms that preclude the guns out of the hands of hard-core criminals and unstable and violent individuals while at the same time honoring the responsibilities of genuine gun owners. 

She uttered that there has been unnecessary loss of lives due to misuse of guns in America in the recent past and yelled that she would not hesitate to fight for common sense gun law reforms mainly to safeguard the loss of innocent lives in the near future. 

RACIAL INTEGRATION 

She urged for racial integration and also echoed for the establishment of more sympathetic and easy-going society. She reiterated that racism has no place in USA as Americans have elected their first-ever black president thereby turning a new chapter in the American history.  Despite of these accomplishments, racism still spearheads his head in America and stays as a deep fault line in America. Despite of legal and social protections available in USA , millions of people of color still witness racism in their day-to-day life in America as of date.

Mrs Hillary Clinton cited various statistics on the vast dissimilarities between black and while families in the U.S such as

• ·        Disparity in arrests

• ·        Variance in sentencing guidelines

• ·        Refusal of mortgage facilities to African-Americans

• ·        Nearly 50% of the black families are living in the poor neighborhoods even today since from the last two generations

• ·        Black children are likely to witness death 500 times more due to asthma as compared to their counterpart white children.

She urged the affluent, rich Americans to fight against bias in their own neighborhood. She cited how the woman credited with assisting officials to arrest the culprit which stood as an illustration of how all Americans must carry out their duty in assisting to build a more inclusive American society.
