Goodman interviews several guests at the party and asks them a series of questions. Summary of his main questions/points:

• John Key ex-PM of NZ, resigned abruptly after DJT elected.

• Kim Dotcom unpopular in Auckland. Mansion raided in NZ by SWAT in 2012.

• Harmon Wilfred, USAF vet, former US citizen forced to relinquish his US citizenship and life destroyed after exposing multi-billion dollar Clowns black financing op to the media. Gregory Kreg(?), Bill C's lawyer at the time, told him if he didn't drop the matter, he would never see his children again. INZ won't let him leave the country. He hasn't seen his children in 20+ years or Canadian wife for 2.5 years.

• NZ Taxpayers' Union denounced Key's $7.7M contribution to the "Clinton Health Access Initiative", an illegally formed charity that bought pharmaceuticals from corrupt Indian pharma company Ranbaxy, then sent those drugs, not properly tested, to Africa. Metioned article in NZ Herald, Jan 2017: https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11780357. 'EXCLUSIVE: Clinton Foundation AIDS Program Distributed ‘Watered-Down’ Drugs To Third World Countries': http://dailycaller.com/2016/09/19/exclusive-clinton-foundation-aids-program-distributed-watered-down-drugs-to-third-world-countries/. Goodman also mentions of other donations of $13.7M and $70M from NZ to CF.

• $500 on top of original $500 price tag to meet HRC? Very misleading promo. People expecting to see HRC at this event (cocktail party).

Some video highlights:

41:10 Lady (guest) is asked if DJT has done anything good as POTUS, like denuclearizing NK. Response: "It's not him that's done that… No… Because there's other people working behind the scenes having those diplomatic conversations that are not - is not Donald Trump."

1:00:52 Gentleman (guest) is asked if he knew Mueller was FBI Director on 4th Sep 2001, and that a 28-page Senate Intel Committee report about SA diplomats financing 9-11 was suppressed during his FBI term. Response: "At that level of a - an organization…you've got so many desperate bits of information coming at you, it must be hard to decipher what's fact and what's fiction."

1.21.10 Lady (guest) mentions NZ gov't spent $2M on rescuing a penguin (that got eaten).

1.32.18 Scottish lady (guest) is asked if DJT has done anything good as POTUS, like denuclearizing NK. Response: "…Based on today's news, it might be negative… the DRK President basically said if Trump keeps claiming credit for this, then I'm going to back out."

1.40.17 Scottish gentleman (guest) talks about his direct experience regarding Trump's golf course in Aberdeen, Scotland: the land DJT bought belonged to his grandparents for 20 years. McLeod House used to be called Meddy(?) House, has a 150 year history. He says promises of jobs never materialized… accuses DJT of bullying locals and benefitting from corrupt NZ gov't. (The benefits of DJT's achievements as POTUS for the world far outweighs anything he may or may not have done as a businessman in the past.)

1:43:42 Actual event starts with a short video intro and a live performance by Maori group Te Kapa Haka.

1:53:40 MC/Host Linda Clark speaks. Mentions HRC's new book 'What Happened?' Talks about women in politics. Tells people to turn phones off, HRC never travels alone, and that "there are so many security guys behind us, and if your phone rings by accident, you don't want to be that person…"

2:00:20 Karen Beattie, Founder and Managing Director at The Growth Faculty, speaks. Presents docu video of HRC.

2:14:38 HRC appears on stage. Mentions the Wellington Declaration signed between Wellington and Washington gov'ts. Talks about her book, running for presidency, personal life.

2.24:14 Talks about upcoming Nov election. Emphasizes young people and women in politics. Claims that the more successful a woman is, the less she is liked, unlike men. Claims that in the US, a woman wanting to lead will not be given as much support as when she is in a supporting role (implies her own experience). Quotes MO.

2.29:06 "The forces that were at work in the 2016 election in the United States are still with us, and not only in my country but around the globe. It was a perfect Storm. Deep currents of anger and resentment flowing through our culture, a political press that told voters my emails were the most important story, the unprecedented intervention in our election by the FBI director, the information warfare waged from within the Kremlin. What we've learned about Russian interference in the election is more than alarming. It's a clear and present danger to democracies. It's right out of Putin's playbook. We know that Russian agents used Facebook, Twitter, Google, YouTube, even Pinterest… can you imagine?… to place targetted attack ads and negative stories. Now they were intended to hurt me but, more than that, they wanted to flame division within our society, so they posed as Americans. They pretended to be environmental activists or Black Lives Matter activists. They even held phony demonstrations. So this isn't just about what happened, it's about what's happening right now. We've heard over and over again from experts - intelligence experts, technical experts - that the Russians are still playing on anything and everything they can to turn Americans against each other, from issues of race and gun violence, to the humanitarian crisis in Syria. But it's not limited just to the United States. In Germany, members of Parliament have been hacked by Russians. In France, President Macron's campaign was hit by a masive cyber attack just before their presidential election. Russian trolls pushed incendiary social media posts during last year's Catalonian independence referendum. And Italy? Russia's state controlled news agency was found to be the most influential foreign media organization, propping up right wing candidates. So this is bigger than one candidate, one election, or even one country. In Australia, and here in New Zealand, experts are sounding the alarm about Chinese efforts to gain political power and influence policy decisions. Anne-Marie Brady of the University of Canterbury has rightly called this 'a new global battle', and it's just getting started, and we have to take it seriously." (WOW)

2.32.31 "There is no such thing as an alternative fact." Goes on about the 'Russian disinformation campaign'. Implies DJT denies "the size of a crowd at an inauguration", or refuses to accept "settled science" such as in climate change.

2:34:21 "Now Vladimir Putin has positioned himself as the leader of an authoritarian, xenophobic movement. It wants to break up the European Union, break up NATO, weaken America's traditional alliances, and undermine democracy."

2:35:00 Talks about 'democratic backsliding' in the Asian region. Mentions China and President Xi's decision to abolish term limits and consolidate power.

2:37:33 HRC Speech ends and Dame Jennifer Shipley, NZ ex-PM, is welcomed on stage.

2:39:36 HRC felt compelled to write her book.

2:42:20 Are there electoral reforms that need to happen in the United States? "There are so many… I have been against what we call the Electoral College since 2000, when Al Gore won the popular vote." Claims there has been a concerted effort over the last 10 years to suppress the vote and to narrow the number of voters. Imposition of "very onerous" identification requirements in some states… designed to "shrink the electorate". And then again, the Russians.

2:46:12 Is asked about one thing she would go back and change? HRC mentions the three pre-election debates and says "Trump was stalking me on the stage, and… invading my personal space, leering at me, making faces at me…" Says (she and Trump) were in this 'reality TV campaign', and that he was our first 'reality TV candidate', so perhaps she should have handled the debates with more skill.

2:49:25 Discussion of women working alongside men. Her friend (Mark Benioff) runs Salesforce, discovered indiscrepancies in pay equity between men and women.

2:54:02 Discussion of women involvement in politics and reactions after HRC election loss. Mentions the Women's March and having to go to Trump's inauguration. Discusses women's groups she is sponsoring and training. Her focus is on young women. Mentions mass shooting in Parkland, FL, and making gun safety an issue. "We have more than 30 thousand people killed every year by guns." Then mentions well funded opponent, NRA. "The majority of gun owners actually favor a lot of the common sense gun measures that I and others promote."

2:58:23 Discussion of women candidates. She believes Dems will be successful in Nov election. Women in elected office who spoke out "…they started getting the same kinds of online attacks and criticism that I did…"

3:00:23 HRC is asked, is the freedom of speech in the social media sense appropriate when people can be anonymous?… "I am an adamant defender of the 1st amendment, and the press, even though, obviously, I have my problems with them I will defend them because it's such a critical part of how we define a free society…" Claims to have found that online "it's not even just real people; it's hordes of bots…". Mentions Facebook hosting lots of bots and Russian sites. Claims that there was "all kinds of fake news" in the last election. Claims that there was no identification or disclosure with these online sources. Calls for maximising disclosure and providing more information.

3:04:21 Discusses her own experience leading up to her running for office. Mentions her involvement with the Children's Defense Fund.

3:09:48 HRC is asked about Iran, NK and globalisation, fair and free trade. She doesn't know about Korea yet. Says that the North Koreans destroyed their plutonium production facilities (in the 90's) but at the same time started their "secret uraniam enrichment program". Encouraged by the North-South dialogue and China's involvement, but is worried that "our administration" won't be fully prepped on what denuclearization can mean, in discussions with NK. Still hopeful but not optimistic yet. She says that globalization means "the accelerated pace of free trade of corporations crossing borders that has resulted in the quickest uplifting of the standard of living for the most people ever in the history of the world." But we need to "take stock of what works and what doesn't".

3:17:15 HRC is asked about grandparenting and her grandkids. Wants to speak out post election. It's not personal anymore, but is very much an "active citizen" now and wants to speak out about what is harmful. "People are getting just overwhelmed by the strange goings on that we are living through" in regards to "a very important struggle in the United States right now". She is going to do everything she can "to help other people win elections and to take back the House and the Senate so that we can provide some checks and balances on the administration, and then I'm going to do everything I can to help elect whoever the Democrats nominate to be the next President, so that's what I'll be doing."

3:22:35 Wrap.

Goodman describes the event as a waste of money and very disappointing.
