Hours before Hillary Clinton took the debate stage with Bernie Sanders Thursday night, Jane Fonda was talking truth with Netflix costar and good friend Lily Tomlin in a discussion moderated by CBS This Morning co-anchor Gayle King. The second season of Grace and Frankie premieres on Netflix May 6.

Jane Fonda admitted that she's glad Bernie is running -- Tomlin endorsed him. But Fonda pronounced "Hillary will be president."

“I think that deep down people feel [Clinton] can hit the ground running, even if she may not be the perfect candidate for a lot of people,” Fonda said. “She’s had the experience. The world right now is so complicated – she has the background to deal with all the complications.”

Then the world-famous feminist Fonda trekked into deep waters, predicting that if Hillary wins over the Republicans, "there will be violence".

“Every time women move forward, there is going to be problems,” she said, spurred by an audience member who asked Fonda about her feminist principles. “So one of the things we have to do is help men understand why they are so threatened – and change the way we view masculinity. We have a toxic masculinity and that’s what needs to be addressed.”

Tom Hayden, Jane Fonda's Radical Icon Ex Endorsed Hillary

New York Daily News Calls Bernie 'Utterly Unprepared For The Oval Office' AOC Hillary Clinton

Tom Hayden — a lifelong progressive activist and politician — was a “freedom rider,” former president of Students for a Democratic Society, drafter of the seminal Port Huron statement and an indicted member of the “Chicago Eight.” From 1982-2000, Hayden served in the California State Assembly and State Senate. In more recent years, he’s been an environmental and animal rights activist.

Hayden gave his primary reasons for changing his support from Bernie to Hillary as no longer being at peace with his white male privilege -- with his wife and daughters supporting Hillary and wanting a female president. Citing the reality that the majority of women support Hillary, although the youngest women support Bernie; and people of color overwhelmingly support Hillary coupled with longtime-actists like Dolores Huertas, American labor leader and co-founder of the National Farmworkers Association, which later became the United Farm Workers.

Hayden has mixed feelings about the confrontational nature of Bernie's politics and is upset over the anti-facking demands that cannot possibly become law in today's political climate. Having devoted his life to activism and politics, Hayden embraces Hillary's tendency to take concrete steps of progress and BANK them as law, rather than waiting for the perfect deal in a politically fractured country.
