"Brain Sex With Hillary Clinton"
NEW YORK—When Hillary Clinton closed a lively panel of women journalists covering authoritarian regimes in Russia, China, Turkey, and Georgia at the ninth annual Women in the World Summit in New York, Tina Brown, the event founder, summed it up with a new career suggestion for the former presidential candidate. “That was amazing, like brain sex. You’ve found your next career, Hillary,” she said, suggesting Clinton host a television talk show. “Brain Sex with Hillary Clinton.”
It was a rare treat to see Clinton on the other side of microphone, asking tough questions and leading a super smart discussion about a topic she clearly knows all too well: how to deal with egomaniacal men. She kept her own opinions largely to herself save a few well-timed comments and choice digs that drew raucous applause.
“If I were in a position to be concerned about Russia,” she said and paused when segueing between legendary Russian journalist Yevgenia Albats and BBC’s former China editor Carrie Gracie.
Instead of basking in the spotlight, Clinton guided a conversation she did not dominate. Each of the highly informed women offered her praise, calling her Madam Secretary, and making sure everyone in the crowd knew they wished she was the American president.

“There is a pattern, and now the U.S. is experiencing this pattern. In the U.S., people like to think they have a strong establishment, and that the mature democracy in this country will protect them from the madman tactics of Mr. Trump,” she said. “We thought that too. Fifteen years ago Turkey was a normal country. It all changed not only because of one man but because everyone was silent while that one man destroyed democracy.”
