In concept, this was an apolitical occasion targeted on ladies’s development within the workforce. However when Mika Brzezinski put collectively a panel of Gloria Steinem, Billie Jean King, and Hillary Clinton on the Forbes 30/50 occasion as a part of Worldwide Girls’s Day in Abu Dhabi, she absolutely would have identified that liberal politics would finally bust out. 

And positive sufficient . . . 

After Hillary Clinton extolled Steinem for originating “Take Your Daughter to Work Day,” Steinem returned the reward in spades:

“I simply wish to level out to you, at this second in time, how totally different the historical past of my nation and the world would have been had we had Hillary Clinton as a substitute—as a substitute of Trump!”

Because the viewers burst into wild cheering, Hillary, realizing issues had spun a bit out of bounds, replied, “nicely, that is a dialog [pause] stopper.”

However as you will see within the screencap, Hillary’s beaming smile belied her admonition: she was clearly glorying within the second. 

Mika performed alongside, saying: “for one more day.” However that she beloved Steinem’s political plug for Hillary.
 

Earlier within the dialogue, Billie Jean King lavished reward on Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff, who had made his rep as a really woke exec, for his pledge to boldly and instantly guarantee equal pay for ladies at his firm and the 14 firms it was buying.

However Benioff’s super-woke shtick hit the skids after Saleforce’s inventory worth plunged  40% from its Covid-pandemic peak.

All of a sudden, Benioff modified his tune. In a current analyst name, Benioff mentioned: “profitability is really our primary technique”, and described income as the corporate’s “north star.”

Even worse from the liberal perspective, Benioff not too long ago instructed that executives ought to emulate that arch-anti-woke villain, Elon Musk!

“Each CEO in Silicon Valley has checked out what Elon Musk has executed and has requested themselves, ‘Do they should unleash their very own Elon inside them?'” Benioff mentioned throughout an interview with Insider on Thursday. “You must have a look at him and say, ‘Wow, it is a very unorthodox administration model,’ however, as I’ve mentioned, you may’t underestimate what he is executed.”

Benioff is gonna have some ‘splainin to do to Billie Jean!

On Morning Joe, at a supposedly apolitical Girls’s Day Occasion moderated by Mika Brzezinski, Gloria Steinem asking folks to replicate on how various things would have been if Hillary have been president as a substitute of Trump was sponsored by Pfizer, maker of Nexium, and Life Alert.

Now we all know that a long time later, ladies are the vast majority of the college-educated in america. But, are nonetheless underrepresented on the highest ranges of management in most sectors. And naturally, that goes far past america. That is a world truth. 

So why aren’t we seeing extra ladies in highest positions of management since ladies have gotten themselves educated, they’ve gotten out into the workforce, they’ve actually put themselves within the market. And but, they’re stalled. And never getting the place they — the place we expect they should be.

However I simply, I simply wish to level out to you, at this second in time, how totally different the historical past of my nation and the world would have been had we had Hillary Clinton [audience cheers wildly] as a substitute — as a substitute of Trump!

HILLARY: Properly, that is a dialog . . . stopper. 

MIKA BRZEZINSKI: For one more day.
