Hillary Clinton is now reportedly considering a new television show to help her prepare for another White House run.

Shes been talking very seriously about the idea of having her own television show,a close Clinton insider told author Ed Klein, the Daily Mail reported Wednesday. As a TV host, shed discuss the issues of the day from a progressive point of view, have top guests, interview world leaders and progressive thinkers.

The idea of the show would be to help Clinton stay in the limelight and remain a leader opposing President Donald Trumps agenda.After a surprise loss to Trump in November, many thought that Clintons chances of becoming president were over.

However, the purpose of the show would be to prepare for a 2020 presidential run, according to Kleins source.

She thinks being the host of a popular TV show would energize the Democratic Party base and her tens of millions of fans. Its a way to make a comeback and position herself for another run at the White House starting in a year or so, the source said.

Clinton would be able to control the show in a manner that would not allow for embarrassment.

It would have to be a show that she and her people completely controlled, the Clinton insider said.

It is unknown if Clinton has been in any talks with networks. If a show does come to fruition, Clinton would be the second oldest female news or talk show host on television after Joy Behar of ABCs The View, the Daily Mail noted. Clinton is currently 69 years old.

Clinton also reportedly told a gathering of friends in Washington, D.C. that she would be back in politics.

Shes utterly determined not to fade into the background. She intends to stay in the limelight and keep fighting the good fight, the Clinton insider said. She knows Obama is going to be out there fighting too. But frankly, she doesnt think hes a great leader or a great fighter, which leaves an opening for her to be the acknowledged leader-in-exile of her party.

The other day, Hillary Clinton assembled a group of friends at Whitehaven, her home in Washington, D.C., where she raised a glass of wine and proposed a toast.

Ill be back! she said, imitating the growl of Arnold Schwarzenegger in The Terminator.

Everyone laughed at Hillarys rare attempt at humor about her shocking presidential defeat.

But back as what?

Are the rumors true that she is considering a run for mayor of New York City? Is she interested in becoming the president of a university, a foundation, or a think tank?

As it turns out, according to a close Clinton source who spoke with Ed Klein Confidential, Hillary isnt thinking about any of those roles right now.

Shes been talking very seriously about the idea of having her own television show, said the source. As a TV host, shed discuss the issues of the day from a progressive point of view, have top guests, interview world leaders and progressive thinkers.

It would have to be a show that she and her people completely controlled, the source continued. Shes convinced shed get fabulous ratings in a political climate where theres so much anger in Democratic circles over Donald Trumps election.

Clinton’s Doctor Says This Is a Bigger Problem Than Obamacare – Fox Business

Within his first hours in office, President Trump signed an executive order aimed at rolling back Obamacare, with plans for a possible repeal. However, the doctor and medical adviser to Bill and Hillary Clinton says a re-do on the Affordable Care Act wont fix the underlying health-care issue plaguing Americans today.

I think the focus on insurance reform doesnt get to the real problem, which is why are people getting into the health-care system in the first place -- and its really driven by obesity, Mark Hyman, M.D., and Medical Director at Cleveland Clinics Center for Functional Medicine, tells FOX Business.

Today, nearly one third of the U.S. population is obese, and another third is overweight, according to the CDC. The government agency released a report last month showing life expectancy has taken a dip for the first time since the early 1990s, while heart diseasethe leading cause of death in the U.S.has risen 0.9% from 2014.

The cause? Hyman says its simply that Americans have been fed the wrong nutritional information dating back to the 1950s, when an American physiologist, Ancel Keys found a correlation between fat consumption and heart disease. Hyman says Keys findings about the dangers of fat in a diet were overblown.

It was just a correlation, it didnt prove cause and effect, says Hyman, who wrote Eat Fat, Get Thin. So then the American Heart Association got on board, then the government got on board and in the 1980s, they developed the first dietary guidelines, which said to eat less fat and more carbs.

Last year, the USDA dietary guidelines committee changed their guidance on fat consumption, saying they no longer encourage a low-fat diet and in fact, up to 35% of daily calories can come from healthy fats like fish, eggs and olive oil. Since then, big corporations like Campbells Soup (CPB), Kelloggs (K) and Nestle have tweaked their products by removing artificial flavoring/sugars, preservatives and trans fat (the bad fat which has been ruled as not generally recognized as safe by the FDA). But Hyman says more work still needs to be done.

It wasnt intentional. I think what happened was [the food companies] were following the lead of scientists and the government telling us to eat less fat and not worry about sugars or starch, Hyman says. "I met with the CEO of Campbells Soup and I was very impressed with their desire to get out GMOs (genetically modified organisms) and label and change the ingredients so that they are healthy and not processed, and I think the food companies can step up to the plate and change and they are.

Campbell's Soup said in a statement to FOX Business that they "are not looking to get out of GMOs" but rather on a mission to get them labeled because they believe their customers have a right to know.

In Eat Fat, Get Thin, Hyman outlines the pegan dieta mash up of parts from the paleo and vegan dietswhich he says he used to sway Bill Clinton, who turned vegan in 2004, back to eating some animal proteins again.

I changed [Bill] from being vegan to eating more fish and other good quality proteins, he said. I know that its challenging for them [Bill and Hillary] to be on the road and there are stresses, but they are big believers in the power of nutrition to address chronic disease.

Could Caroline Kennedy be the next Hillary Clinton and run for president? – IrishCentral

Could we see another Kennedy in the Oval office? Family insiders are suggesting former US Ambassador to Japan Caroline Kennedy may have her sights set on the White House in the future, following her three-year stint in Tokyo.

Kennedy, 59, was appointed by Obama in 2013 and was the first female US Ambassador to Japan. After her successful run, during which she was at times treated as a celebrity, John F. and Jackie Kennedys daughter could be setting her political aspirations even higher.

Although she ostensibly returned to New York to pen a memoir, sources close to Kennedy are suggesting she may be the perfect candidate to take up the Democratic mantle and return the Kennedy political dynasty to both the US Senate and to the Presidency.

Shes kept a diary for years. She has quite a story to tell, a source told the New York Post.

Caroline had a successful ambassadorial run in Japan and feels really very confident about putting her hat in the ring for a New York congressional or Senate seat, with even possibly bigger political objectives down the road.

She was previously regarded as a contender for the US Senate seat left vacant when Hillary Clinton was named Secretary of State, but Kennedy dropped her bid, mysteriously citing personal reasons.

Despite this, the chance to occupy a Senate seat in New York, as her beloved uncle Robert F. Kennedy did, has not left the thoughts of the Columbia Law Graduate and mother of three, with claims she could look to contend for the seats of New Yorks junior Democratic senator Kirsten Gillibrand or liberal democrat Rep. Carolyn Maloney as early as 2018.

The Post reports she may even be the next Hillary Clinton. Despite her familys often scandalous history, the Post believes she would come to the table with less controversy surrounding her than the former Secretary of State.

Caroline is seen in some quarters as the next Hillary Clinton. She has the Kennedy name but no Clinton baggage, states another source

A liberal democrat in the same ilk as the previous generations of her family, Kennedy was previously lauded as the next face of the clan and, if her net worth is anything to go by, she definitely has the funds to create a campaign that will put her in serious contention.

Bloomberg and CNN estimate her net worth to be anywhere between $80 million and $500 million, while the Post claims she has an annual income of between $12 million to $30 million from Kennedy trust funds.

The presidency is on her mind now, believe me, an insider said.

Although many were skeptical about Kennedys appointment in Japan due to her lack of substantial government or policy experience, the 59-year-old proved herself to be a highly popular ambassador to Japan, her contribution even being described as historic by Yoichi Funabashi, chairman of Rebuild Japan Initiative Foundation.

The high regard of the Japanese for Kennedy could be seen late last year when her holiday message to the people of Japan went viral.

Kennedy stepped down from her position in Japan on January 18 after the transition team for President Trump ordered all political appointees to step down by his inauguration day.

She referred to her time in Japan as the greatest privilege of her life but was mocked by President Trump while he was on the campaign trail for being too weak with the Japanese government. Shell do anything they want, anything! he claimed.

Those who worked with her disagreed, however, explaining how she artfully used the love for her father in Japan and her close ties with President Obama to build strong relationships as the US envoy.

She transformed herself from a celebrity into an influential public figure and statesman who became trusted, liked and listened to, Daniel R. Russel, assistant secretary at the Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs in the State Department told the New York Times.

Caroline Kennedy, a writer, lawyer, and diplomat, is the only surviving child of John F. Kennedy and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.

Born in New York in 1957, she is regarded as one of the most private in the Kennedy family, despite spending some of her earliest years in the White House and becoming something of a media darling during her fathers short-lived Presidency. She was only five years old when her father was assassinated in 1963.

After JFK's death, Jackie moved the family first to Georgetown and then to New York. Caroline took on her first personal political role while interning for her uncle Ted Kennedy during the summers while she was in college. She delved into constitutional law but avoided the political spotlight until 2000, when she agreed to chair the Democratic National Convention.

Kennedy is married to museum exhibit designer, Edwin Schlossberg and they have three children: Rose, Tatiana, and Jack.
