2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumHillary's SHOCKING 2014 Goldman Sachs speech. Here's the video, which has been
on the internet for a year.
GS hosted a dinner promoting its 10,000 women initiative at the Clinton Foundation. It's all about empowering women in business. The horror!
On September 23, 2014, Goldman Sachs 10,000 Women hosted its annual dinner at the Clinton Global Initiative.
The event featured a keynote address from former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on the business case for empowering women to ensure future economic growth.
http://www.goldmansachs.com/citizenship/10000women/news-and-events/10kwprogressreport.html
In 2008, the 10,000 Women initiative was launched by the Goldman Sachs Foundation to educate women entrepreneurs in emerging economies. The initiative was designed specifically to provide a business education, access to mentors and networks, and links to capital for 10,000 underserved women operating small businesses. By the close of 2013, the initiative had enrolled its 10,000th woman.
The findings of the report demonstrate that the 10,000 Women initiative makes a difference in how women entrepreneurs grow their businesses, how they develop personally and how they make a contribution to society. The key conclusions of the report are:
Women can be exceptional entrepreneurs across a diverse array of country and cultural contexts
10,000 Women helps entrepreneurs grow their businesses and develop their business acumen
Mentoring, advising and networks are highly valued in the growth process
Women entrepreneurs grow their businesses despite a lack of external financing

(16,974 posts)It was the Clinton global initiative dinner address. That is why it is on video. Let's see her actual paid speeches she was paid at least 250K per.

"Only one"? That wasn't the point of the Initiative. It was to empower women in small businesses, not at GS.

catnhatnh
(8,976 posts)The lie is that the video is from one of the three speeches she was questioned about. But you knew that.
Duckhunter935
(16,974 posts)That is a lie or you should post a link and I will apologize.
It is a fact she made over 600K in paid speeches to GS and those speeches did go straight into her pockets. Let's see you post those videos. Do you think she should release the transcripts she has of those speeches?
pnwmom
(108,980 posts)and sloppier posts that fail to distinguish between personal payments and donations to the Foundation.

But the list itself doesn't include the Goldman Sachs speech -- probably because the donation went to the Foundation.

(6,960 posts)As Clinton mulls a 2016 run for the White House, she's pocketing checks from corporate heavyweightsand raising questions about access and influence.
Mother Jones -- By Andy Kroll -- Wed May 21, 2014
Since leaving State, Clinton has made more than 90 speeches and notable appearances. Her hosts have included private equity firms, investment banks, nonprofit galas, trade association conventions, and a slew of colleges and universities. At least two-dozen of those were paid speeches. With her usual fee of $200,000 a speech, Clinton has banked close to $5 million for her speeches and appearances in the last 15 months. (A spokesman for Clinton did not respond to multiple requests for comment.)
Here is a list of Clinton's speeches and appearances: at link
... Clinton's decision to pocket six-figure sums from Big Finance heavyweights and other corporate players might tarnish her public image, says Russ Baker, a Rutgers University political scientist. Baker notes that Clinton's coziness with Wall Street could come back to bite her in a Democratic primary, especially at a time when populist figures such as Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio are ascendant within her Democratic Party.
"If somebody comes at her from the left, I certainly can imagine [private equity firm] Kohlberg Kravis Roberts being used against her as a battering ram," Baker says. "It plays into a narrative that almost anybody left of her would want to develop, that she's basically part of the Wall Street wing of the Democratic Party."

(14,626 posts)This is not the speech where Hillary was paid over $600,000 to speak to Goldman Sachs.
Let's see the complete video and transcript on that one.
Agschmid
(28,749 posts)There isn't a single speech where she was paid 600k to speak.
If you are going to callout something for not being factual, get your facts right first.

Agschmid
(28,749 posts)Hey if someone is going to try to callout facts, they should have their facts straight.
It looks bad otherwise.
Duckhunter935
(16,974 posts)Is a lot more than 600K. A good yearly income for a person. 225K-250K for a around a hour of speeking, WOW
Agschmid
(28,749 posts)catnhatnh
(8,976 posts)The OP is a deliberate attempt to mislead. As long as we are getting facts right maybe you'll tell me how a post titled "A question every Sanders supporter must answer" was allowed in the Hillary group, then locked as off-topic in GD-P by an admin who then proceeded to lampoon the post in a third posting. I was wondering?
Agschmid
(28,749 posts)Good to know.
Maybe because people shouldn't drag group drama into GDP, keep it in the groups? Just a thought.
Hey all I did was lock it, I wasn't one of several alerters and we had 100% consensus to lock it...
catnhatnh
(8,976 posts)So they should have been given a chance to answer or both threads should have been locked and certainly your own mocking thread-in a protected group should never have been left up. And yes-you are a host-not admin,but again you split hairs to dodge the actual message.
Agschmid
(28,749 posts)There is no reason to create several threads in response in GD.
And I guess you didn't like the picture of Hillary canvassing... It had such a catchy thread title I knew a few people would just have to read it.
And I'm not dodging the message (i.e. the SOP for GDP) in this case... It is what it is, it's written right at the top of each forum.
catnhatnh
(8,976 posts)It shows your character.
Agschmid
(28,749 posts)Make an accusation, back it up.
Or just attack me personally when you know you've got nothing.
That's the usual around here.
catnhatnh
(8,976 posts)You locked a thread in GDP posted specifically by a Sanders supporter because it called them out in a forum most could not reply in and did not lock your thread mocking the same incident also in a place where they could not reply. It is both abusive and cowardly.
Agschmid
(28,749 posts)Haha, got it.
Maybe I'll ask Bill to pin my post, I'm sure that will inform you about my character.
I await further personal attacks, have at me.

(28,749 posts)Excuse me while I go make more bad decisions that show my character. Lol.

(14,626 posts)Hillary was paid over $675,000 by Goldman Sachs alone for three speeches. That is JUST SHORT OF A QUARTER OF A MILLION DOLLARS PER SPEECH for the benefit of one corporation alone!! I think HRC has some explaining to do. The American people should see the complete transcripts and any and all videos of these speeches as well. Cui bono?

Agschmid
(28,749 posts)I know that.
It's not what you posted the first time, so when you attempt to call someone else out, get your facts right too.
Otherwise it looks foolish.
My company paid her $225,000 to speak for us, we loved it.
Duckhunter935
(16,974 posts)She spoke at my company too.
Talked about how Wall Street has been demonized
Agschmid
(28,749 posts)What am I trying to prove?
Duckhunter935
(16,974 posts)Sorry if I do not always believe an anonymous Internet poster.
Agschmid
(28,749 posts)Or give up enough personal information to be indentified.
You don't believe me, it's not my problem.

I can't provide a video or a text of a nonexistent speech.
Duckhunter935
(16,974 posts)She got 675K and gave no speeches, WOW, that is breaking news.
pnwmom
(108,980 posts)Where have you seen amounts specifically given to her, personally?
Duckhunter935
(16,974 posts)Every source I have seen say SHE was paid 675K for at least 3 speeches. She also made at least 200K per speech at several colleges and Howard Dean ate lots of crow when he was proven wrong about that.

(14,626 posts)clients, and again on Oct 29, at Goldmans tech summit. Both were question-and-answer sessions, according to people who attended, and at the second, Lloyd Blankfein, the chief executive and chairman of Goldman Sachs, was among her questioners. In June of that year she was also paid for an additional event that included Goldman and other groups. She was paid $225,000 for each.

Here you go.
pnwmom
(108,980 posts)Sachs event held at the Clinton Foundation. And it is one of the speeches she's been criticized for.
Duckhunter935
(16,974 posts)That she was paid 675K for? Those are the speeches in question and you know it
DefenseLawyer
(11,101 posts)It was a Clinton Global Inititive event, underwritten by Goldman Sachs. It is NOT one of the paid speeches to Goldman Sachs that she is being questioned about. You know that by now, obviously. But you just as obviously don't mind being disingenuous if you think it helps your candidate. By coincidence your candidate doesn't mind either.
Agschmid
(28,749 posts)She essentially talked about women's right, and how empowering it was to see so many women leaders, but also that they shouldn't consider their work done... Our CEO is male, she pointed at him, it was awkward but we all got through it.
She was a great speaker and I think it did empower some of my co-workers.
She also did admit she was satan, but no one got that part on video.

(28,749 posts)It's on our server and our internal website, I'm not about to post it here. I like my job and I'm not going to break some company policy by posting our internal stuff.
I also don't want everyone on DU to know who I work for.
Some anonymity is nice.
But yes she spoke, we paid $225,000 to hear it.

(26,366 posts)avaistheone1
(14,626 posts)But I have a problem with a politician being paid obscene amounts of money by a corporation like Goldman Sachs who has proven that are untrustworthy. Goldman Sachs was a primary actor in the fall of the housing market in the US. Their bad acts left many Americans homeless and penniless here and damaged people and companies abroad as well. To make matter worse, we had to bail their evil asses out. Yup they are pretty close to Satan. And I like many Americans want to see those transcripts. What is being hidden? Cui bono?

So this is one of the "Goldman Sachs speeches" for which she received payment that people have been talking about. The locale isn't the issue.

(1,005 posts)I don't think those that want her to release her speech transcripts are going to be happy unless it includes something like this:
" I want thank my Wall Street owners for providing me such a generous allowance to be allowed the privilege of addressing them tonight. In return, I will deliver the United States to them. and everything in it, so that we can offer it and the world to our Supreme Overlord, Thanos.
HAIL HYDRA!"
