"I was accused of trying to bring down the North Korean government. I was sentenced to 12 years hard labor. But then in early August, Euna (Lee) and I were surprisingly taken to a hotel. We were ushered down a dark hallway that was lined with about a dozen stone faced North Korean security agents, all looking downwards. And at the end of the hallway were a set of double doors. When they open those doors, there standing before us was President Clinton."

8. SOUNDBITE (English) Hillary Clinton, Former US Secretary of State:
"We’re not being pollyannish. We understand we face some very challenging times. We know that there’ll be a lot of decisions being made in the next couple of years that we will certainly not agree with and that we think are decided wrongly. And so in addition to, you know, staying involved and staying aware, it’s important to find something that makes you feel good about the day because if you’re in a constant state of agitation about our political situation, it is really going to shorten your life."

STORYLINE:
Voters dejected by the presidential election results need to find a way to give back and remain involved, Bill and Hillary Rodham Clinton said Saturday as they celebrated the 20th anniversary of the Clinton presidential library.
The former president urged audience members in a packed theater to remain engaged and find ways to communicate with those they disagree with despite a divisive political time. The two spoke about a month after former President Donald Trump’s win over Vice President Kamala Harris in the presidential election.
“We’re just passing through, and we all need to just calm down and do something that builds people up instead of tears them down,” Bill Clinton said.
Hillary Clinton, the former Secretary of State who was defeated by Trump in the 2016 election, said she understands the next couple of years are going to be challenging for voters who don’t agree with the decisions being made.
"In addition to staying involved and staying aware, it’s important to find something that makes you feel good about the day because if you’re in a constant state of agitation about our political situation, it is really going to shorten your life," she said.
The Clintons spoke during a panel discussion with journalist Laura Ling, who the former president helped free in 2009 when she was detained in North Korea with another journalist. The event was held as part of a weekend of activities marking the 20th anniversary of the Clinton Presidential Library’s opening in Little Rock. The library is preparing to undergo an update of its exhibits and an expansion that will include Hillary Clinton’s personal archives.
