“I'm going to do everything I can, number one, to help Kamala get elected, and then number two to be the best president she can be, and try to help bring our country together. I'm going to be out there speaking and. You know, just throwing as many truth bombs as I can”

“Will be dark and divisive and led by people who are cruel. And mean spirited and disrespectful about our whole journey as Americans. I mean, I want this book to obviously connect with people who see different parts of their own lives in it, but also. To be a wake up call. And I have this chapter, as you know, about okay Dictators, authoritarians, narcissists. It's always about them. And anybody who does or says anything at odds with their self image, their lust for power, you're in there view and they can come after you too.”

“I was able to be one of those people who walk through that door. Sometimes a little apprehensive like, what was I going to find on the other side? Would people like me? Would they accept me? Was I good enough? I mean, all the things that, you know, women of my generation went through trying to figure out how to do this.”

“And I was, you know, in turmoil inside, trying to figure out what am I going to do and what's the right thing to do. People make assumptions about you when you're in the public eye, they project their own fears and desires on you. They try to define you in ways that aren't real to you but are important to them. But the point of this book really is when you add it all up and you look across a life. And I would encourage readers and listeners to your podcast to think about their own lives this way. know my own truth. I know who I am. I am grateful for the life I've had, not just the good parts, but all of it. And I do so deeply, and I know this will sound corny to some of your listeners, but I so deeply love this country and I'm so grateful that, you know, I was born in the middle of the last century, a middle class family, a middle-class girl at a time when doors began to be cracked open for girls and women.”

“Losses and setbacks. But since it's kind of a book taking stock of my long, eventful sort of improbable life, the gains are so much greater because I was willing to get outside of my comfort zone, willing to take risks. You know, part of public life is all the good stuff that is gratifying. But the hard stuff is made harder because you're in the public eye. So if you have problems with your marriage, you're right there. And one of the things I have in the book is a letter that Lady Bird Johnson sent to me during Bill's impeachment, basically saying how glad she was to see me standing there and, you know, supporting him. And, you know, obviously I was doing it because I say in the book, I thought he was a really good president.”

“Know the losses are both personal in terms of losing loved ones. Obviously my parents, my younger brother, dear, dear friends who meant the world to me, people who I worked with and admired so much. So the losses first and foremost are the losses of a life. People that you wish were still here that are not. The losses are obviously political. You know, I would have loved to have been president and would have, I think, done a really good job, but that wasn't to be. So in the book, I do talk about both personal and political.”

“And I only have security because I'm a former First Lady, not because I ran against Donald Trump, but I have security. And our institutions withstood a lot last time. And I think he and the people around him learned a lot. Don't put somebody in who's not a true believer. I mean. John Bolton, who's as conservative as they come. I mean, he actually respected democracy and had a regard for the truth, even if you disagreed with him. Oh my God, no, bring in the people who are the true believers, who are the foot soldiers, who want to do Trump's bidding. And if he's unencumbered, if he's surrounded by... Many dictators themselves. And this guy, J.D. Vance, who is like a robotic wannabe dictator and his deep personal problems that manifest it in the way that he talks about women. Take them at their work.”

“You know, I think you have to be worried if he gets power and gets to be the dictator he wants to be. I think you do have to worry that. Look, why is anybody questioning it? He's telling us what he wants to do. And if you look at Putin or Xi Jinping or Viktor Orban or the Iranians or any other dictatorship. Right, the Taliban take them at their word. They want to squash any voices that question them, that counter their propaganda, their lies, their disinformation. But, you know, personally, I don't think about it because, you know, look, when he was president, you know, bombs were delivered to me and Barack Obama and George Soros and CNN. I just live with that. That's part of the world.”

“And luckily, thankfully, we knew there was nothing to find, but we knew that it was meant to harass, to intimidate, to cost a lot of money. That was part of the domination that he believes he's entitled to if he has any power. And I think he has recently been saying he wants to kill, literally kill, or jail his political opponents. And he often mentions Obama or me or Biden or, you know, I'm on the list, sometimes off the list other times.”

“Well, he's been lying about what he did as president. He did. Personally direct his then attorney general sessions to reopen investigations into me. He did direct his Secretaries of State, First Tillerson, then Pompeo, to reopen investigations into me. He prompted an investigation into the Clinton Foundation, which is a platinum grade A first-rate nonprofit organization. So we spent a lot of money on lawyers' fees. Let me tell you that because he had us being investigated personally, the foundation.”

“So, we are living at a time when so much of the progress on women's rights, obviously, in our country, the overturning of Roe v. Wade is exhibit A, has been put at risk. And I wanted to highlight these brave women whom I've been so privileged to get to know and work with over the years who have stood against tyranny. They've stood against dictatorship and oppression. They've stood against online harassment and threats. We have to lift them up and we have to understand their struggle is our struggle.”

“All of the changes we wanted, everything from criminalizing domestic violence to decriminalizing contraception, we were making so much progress. And the backlash to women's rights and certainly to high-profile women, women in journalism, in business and entertainment, politics, government who Online are attacked on a literally minute by minute basis vially and virally Something has changed. Something has been injected into our history, our body politic in this country and elsewhere, where women are now seen as fair game, where women's advances are seen as a zero-sum game. So if women get ahead, that means men can't or won't or shouldn't.”

“Know, I've worked on behalf of women's rights and their lives and their freedoms for my entire adult life. And up until relatively recently, it was a difficult effort, but the trajectory was going in the right direction. I mean, we were making progress. We were changing laws. We were upending customs and traditions that, you know, valued marrying girls when they were 10 and 11 or genital cutting and all the things that women were suffering from and wanting to be liberated from to make their own life choices. So I felt that certainly from the 1995 Beijing conference when I did deliver the speech about women's rights or human rights and the platform for action that we helped to draft that laid out.”

“I've been on this bus for two days, and we can't get through the crowds. The Taliban won't let us through the chuck points. So we were living this in real time. It wasn't from a distance. We were there. We were raising money for planes. We were raising money for buses. We were raising money to support women once they landed. And we were able to get about 1,000 women in their families out. And we continued it even after the last American civilian and military evacuee left because we had women still in safe houses hiding from the Taliban. So we were able to Some more out after that.”

“Stressful personally painful experiences I've ever gone through because as I recount in the book, we had a 24-7 Zoom room and we had Afghan women expats who were helping us who were obviously translating. We had some of my longtime aides like Huma Abedeen. We had people. At the State Department in the women's office, that I'd help to institutionalize all of that. So everybody was working. I was calling leaders of nations like Canada, Albania, Ukraine, Qatar, places to say, can you help us get planes? Can you let us land? Can you provide refuge for these women and their families? It was literally a minute by minute intense undertaking where sometimes a woman would get onto the Zoom and she would say the Taliban were just at my mother's house looking for me. What am I supposed to do?”

“The Biden administration had intelligence to the contrary, the Afghan government was also very adamant that it wouldn't happen. I didn't believe either of those sources. I knew it was going to happen. So I knew that we had to be prepared to move quickly. And we began to acquire email addresses and cell phones and WhatsApp and Signal contacts for as many women on the list as we could. And in the book, in a chapter called White Scarves, I detail the effort that I and a wonderful network of predominantly women in our country, but also countries around the world undertook to evacuate and save these women. And I have to say, Kara, the several weeks of intense effort that we were engaged in was one of the most”

“Women that I had gotten to know since I was a senator and started going to Afghanistan and even working with Laura Bush to support Afghan women at that point. And I saw these names. These were women who'd been in the government, politics, education, healthcare, et cetera. And I knew that under any kind of evacuation that the United States would run, these women would not be on our list because they didn't work for the United States government. They were working in Afghanistan to do better.”

“And Biden wanted to leave anyway because he thought it was an unwinnable longest war in American history. So he basically said, okay, don't kill Americans. We are going to go, but we can't do it on the timeframe. We just got here. So basically the amendment to the agreement that Trump had signed was, okay, Biden's saying we're going to get out by September 11th. All right. Now shortly after the Biden decision was made, I was contacted by someone in the Biden administration that they had gotten a hold of a list of Afghan women that they had reason to believe had been compiled by the Taliban, that these were the women they would go after and it became known as the kill list. And on that listed.”

“And they also did something else, which was smart for the Taliban. They started going around to all the villages where they knew men had been serving in the Afghan army and basically saying, you know, the Americans are going to withdraw. Trump has signed this agreement. And if you don't get your men home, we'll kill you and we'll kill everybody in your village. So, I mean, they had a strategy. So when Biden became president, he had the same warning from the Taliban like, look, Trump had drawn down American forces. We really couldn't defend our positions and our people.”

“It was not just absurd. It was so dangerous. So I started worrying about that. And then, you know, when Biden became president, I knew because I talked to people in the White House and the State Department who were now working for him, you know, the Taliban had a very simple message. The Taliban had told Trump, if you don't agree to withdraw and under Trump's agreement, the date was May of 2021, we will kill even more Americans, every American we can find, we will kill.”

“Well, I started worrying about what was going to happen when Trump's Secretary of State Pompeo signed the deal with the Taliban. So this predated Biden, it was a surrender agreement. It was filled with bad decisions like releasing 5,000 hardcore terrorists that we were holding in a prison in Afghanistan, along with the Afghan government. It didn't even involve the Afghan government. There were no guarantees coming from the Taliban. And as Kamala Harris said in the debate, Donald Trump even invited the Taliban to come to Camp David.

And I think many, many people are, but they are somewhat intimidated by the tech who act like all the rest of us are idiots and only they know what is possible to be done. And we are going to stand in the way of however they define progress. So people get intimidated, people in decision making positions.”

I wasn't aware of it. But it was also In the late 90s before the explosion of social media. So it was not something that even people who thought they understood technology and what was going to happen on the internet were particularly worried about what they were worried about is, oh, you know, we're going to stop the development by putting up all kinds of roadblocks and regulations.

It's about how that then impacts what's going on in society and certainly in politics. I don't think we paid anywhere near as much attention.

But I've talked with people in Europe, in Asia, places like South Korea, et cetera, where men are falling behind. They are not finishing school. They're not graduating from college. They're not in the formal workforce. I think there are a couple of questions we have to ask and answer. What role has technology played in this?

“And his sentencing, even on the 34 felony convictions, has been pushed back. I think I tell the story in the book of learning about the conviction. I was actually in the last stages of editing this book and exchanging pages with my colleagues who were working with me and I'd put my phone down and turned it off because I just literally had to get these pages done. And then when I finished, I picked it up to see what was going on in the world, saw the convictions.

And, you know, I look back on 2016 and all of the disinformation and the attacks that we endured from adversaries both abroad and at home and the stealing of emails, all of which were published and the pizza rhea basement, all of that stuff. What Trump was doing was hiding information from voters who might have found it relevant to their election choice. So being held accountable for election interference is the first step in helping to peel back this onion of deceit that he lives in the middle of. I only wish that the documents cases and the election interference from 2020 had gotten to trial.”

I cannot overstate. The stakes and the risks of this agenda that years ago I called the vast right wing conspiracy. There's nothing conspiratorial about it. It's right there in public, Project 2025, Leonard Leo and his billion dollar fund to force us to believe as he believes, do as he wants us to do. So, for me, writing this book was both personal and political, kind of taking stock of my own life and the role I play now and the role I hope to continue to play as long as I'm able to.

I think her fan base is so intense. incredibly influenced by her. She, yes, is a singer who charts the course of her life, which they relate to as their own lives, but she's also somebody who stood up to a guy who groped her.
