(I'm in the main meeting room at the Clinton for President HQ in Brooklyn. I'm seated in the back)
ROBBY MOOK
"Madam Secretary, next is our one hour debate prep meeting. I have..."
HILLARY CLINTON
"Robby, I'll be passing on debate prep today. What else do we have?"
JOHN PODESTA
"Hillary, we are committed to daily debate prep. We agreed, you and staff, that this was a top priority."
CLINTON
"Yes, John, and that was before my foreign speech in San Diego. We agreed that was a home run and now we'll pick up debate prep after the convention."
MOOK
"Madam Secretary, today's meeting includes a visit by Senator Schumer. He will fire twenty-five questions and we're well served to hold this meeting."
CLINTON
"Call Chuck and tell him we're rescheduling. He will appreciate the found time."
PODESTA
"Hillary, this is too important. And this is one event that we must invest the time. Please look at the first debate with Trump as we do - the election is riding on it."
CLINTON
(Staring at Podesta)
PODESTA
"OK John, you win. Let's go have a debate."
And Secretary Clinton smiled, and then everyone in the room smiled, and laughed.
And Mook texted the debate prep team, and the lecterns were brought in. And Mook received a text from the driver that Senator Schumer was 10 minutes away. Mook nodded to Podesta, and Podesta returned the compliment.
