Check out Trumps black strip behind his mic, first picture. https://imgur.com/gallery/WxsAR Hillary's is yellow, 3rd picture.
On the video, at the beginning, hers changes from yellow to black. She had a laptop installed into her podium.

Who is really gonna care?
From this distance you can't really tell what is on his screen, and even if they do there's a cheap and simple fix
WATCH THE LEFT. HER SCREEN POWERS DOWN

shes using some kind of privacy filter on the screen

we also have proof that the hilary campaign made specific custom work done on their podium

yes, it is
Though, if you're serious about just helping prevent people from looking over your shoulder, try this

I also tried the 3M privacy Mod myself and ran it for full week before deciding the negatives outweighed the positives. Here are a few details from my own tests:
1. Disassembling the rift itself was pretty easy following the iFixit tear down instructions (just do a web search). Caveat - I broke a few of the plastic clips on the inside of the case due to the number of time I dismantled the case. Decided using some blue painters tape to keep the front plate attached was the simplest thing to do. It isn't pretty,but it doesn't leave any stick residue and makes disassembly fast.
tip: you don't have to unscrew the nose piece assembly if you are careful with putting your face-piece and screen next to one another (just don't twist the wires running to the LCD screen!)
tip2: you absolutely have to have compressed air to remove dust mites and be extremely careful not to touch LCD or filters - oil from fingerprints are VERY noticeable.
tip3:a box cutter, ruler and two pieces of clean white paper with filter btw them is good way to keep filter clean while cutting to size.
Next as the original poster stated, there are some difficulties getting the 3M screen to sit away from the Rift screen. I tried a number of things to wedge btw them both and at multiple heights. The 3M screen has two options:
Shiny side up or matte side up. I ended up going with shiny side since it supposedly permits more light to go through.
Impression: I saw a definite diminished screen door affect at the expense of introducing a 'diagonal' visual 'tearing' artifact - Not as noticeable but still not a preferable solution. Without the Rift reassembled I could almost get the diagonal artifact removed by adjusting filter space btw LCD, but as soon as I got it reassembled it would return to some extent. I also tried the filter both horizontal and vertical with no real difference in viewing quality.
I finally opted to put two 3M filter screens on top of one another which removed the artifacts I was seeing almost completely, but at the expense of reduced brightness and contrast and a bit more 'smudged/blurred graphics'.
Finally a week later I took everything apart and did some more comparisons, at which point I decided the native screen door effect was preferable to the short-comings I had with the filter.
Maybe there is a different filter that would provide better results but at $30 a filter I'm not trying again.
Here's the screen I went with:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003V14N08/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
$32 and some change for the 13.3 inch version, enough to splice out two full-sized Rift filters.
T/L D/R....screen door effect was easier to deal with than short-comings associated with the 3M filter mod.
Its a teleprompter with a privacy deflector.
https://www.amazon.com/3M-Privacy-Filter-Widescreen-GPF14-1W/dp/B002U0NDEI
And I think shady notepad man wasn't there to really collect hillary's note pad, but to ensure the teleprompter was off so people wont realize she is cheating.
Here it is Turning on:

i ordered this about a week ago. it came in today and i immediately installed it using these tools and also used this youtube video to build up courage. warning: slight gore as he pries the rift open with a metal flat tip screwdriver.
No, your eyes don't discriminate polarized light, so they will see light with any polarity. There is no combination of filters that will let the naked eye see darkness, and the filtered eye see something.
The closest you might get is to use a microvane filter ( privacy filter ), which only lets you see the screen if you are directly in front of it.
It's like right underneath the mic. Trump's is solid, opaque black. Hers is like... transparent gold. Sort of like this.
There was a panel inside that podium flashing information to her. It powered down right as the debate ended.
COMPILATION OF ALL WEIRD STUFF THIS FAR:

the big story is not even him sketchily getting the notebook.
WHAT THE FUCK DID HE GO BACK AND REACH ALL THE WAY INTO THE PODIUM FOR?!
CALLING ALL AUTISTS: WHO THE FUCK IS RAT MAN? (NO DOXXING)
EDIT: HOLY SHIT. HILLARY HAD A TABLET DEVICE BUILT IN TO THE "CUSTOM PODIUM" THAT SHE DEMANDED. SEE THIS THREAD FROM YESTERDAY/r/The_Donald/comments/54rnnx/its_possible_hilldogg_was_using_her_podium_to/
Her custom podium had nothing to do with "height" like she claims: https://www.hillno.org/clinton-gets-customized-podium-to-offset-height-difference-with-trump/

Notice the small triangular area behind the microphone and notice how the entire stage is brightly lit
The area I am speaking of is black before the debate began.
Now look at pictures

My theory is that there is some kind of privacy filter, like this: https://www.amazon.com/3M-Privacy-Filter-Widescreen-GPF14-1W/dp/B002U0NDEI
Otherwise, why is podium built that way? It makes no sense.
EDIT #2: HOLIER SHIT. when the debate ends, her and trump go to shake hands. Look at her podium on the very left. A light goes off... Her podium "powers off" whereas trumps was black the whole time (consult the imgur album above for proof). At the beginning of the debate, her podium "powers on."

EDIT #3: HOW HOLY CAN THIS SHIT GET?! HILLARY USES A HAND SIGNAL TO COMMUNICATE WITH LESTER
Credit: /u/deal_withit
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XSuG5aCFGs
She scratches her nose to signal to Lester to either hit trump hard or to lob her a softball so she can regurgitate a memorized line. She can't do anything in real time
/u/makekoreagreat - "Hillary signaling to Lester when she wanted him to interrupt Trump so she could say something. This is why the debate turned after the first 30 minutes. It's basically as if Mark Cuban paid off the refs to throw the game. Microphone, Lester Holt, notebook. . . ."

3M makes a great one, but it's a bit pricey:
3M Privacy Filter for Widescreen Laptop
Make sure to chose the one that fits your specific laptop. Then watch all the GoT you want and don't worry about those sitting next to you.
I think this might be what you're looking for
Amazon privacy screen
And this is a video on how to set it up
https://www.amazon.com/3M-Privacy-Filter-Standard-Monitor/dp/B00028ONIA
We have used both the 3M and Fellows privacy screens in our hotel and casino clients. Seem to hold up in those environments. Can't remember having to replace any.

This is a good sample too. They come in different colors. grey privacy screen
I think the podium under the mic is a display, and it has a "privacy filter on it" so you can only see it from a 0 Degree angle. Maybe something like this?
We did.
And slap on one of these
My colleagues like these magnetic ones. But they don't allow it to close fully. I've used this style but you have to take care to not get bubbles on application.
I think I may try out this Kensington magnetic screen protector: https://www.amazon.com/Kensington-MacBook-Magnetic-Privacy-K64490WW/dp/B077TVSTMT/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1539915566&sr=8-9&keywords=magnetic%2Bscreen%2Bprotector%2Blaptop&th=1#customerReviews
I think the height will be OK for the PB while the width will overshoot the sides slightly, but I figure that's OK considering it can be removed so easily which means I can use it just when needed. It could be a pain to store when not in use though - wouldn't want to shove it in a bag and get bent...
The only other obvious caveat would be the price. I think I'll at least demo it and then send it back to amazon if it's not worth it!

I purposely claimed the cube with my back to the wall and where the least amount of people will need to walk behind me, for this very reason. I also invested in a privacy screen.
Yep I caught that too after reading about it elsewhere as well. I was dismissive of it at first thinking that a can or spot from above was throwing onto her podium but you can see the difference in the whites reflected off the notepad stays the same and yet the angled strip at the head of the podium changes colour. Very odd indeed.
Here it is in HD lighting up at the BEGINNING of the debate:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6QElWIKfDk&feature=youtu.be&t=12247
I think there's some kind of light filter over it. Someone else suggested it could be like this:
https://www.amazon.com/3M-Privacy-Filter-Widescreen-GPF14-1W/dp/B002U0NDEI
If the displays are what you're worried about, get the Acer Aspire V7-582PG and a 3M Anti-glare filter and you should get the best results.
get a 3m privacy filter! I love mine :D
http://www.amazon.com/3M-Privacy-Filter-Widescreen-PF10-1W/dp/B002DUD0O8
You can't make it like it was from the factory, but you can remove the old stuff and then simply buy a 3M anti-glare sheet to place over the monitor.
Dismantling of your monitor should be similar to this:
https://hddcaddy.eu/remove-anti-glare-coating-from-lg-29um68-monitor/
And the replacement film you need to find is this brand, only larger to fit your screen:
https://www.amazon.com/3M-Anti-Glare-Widescreen-Monitor-AG230W9B/dp/B01HHXPB9M?th=1
If you can't find it in stores, you should be able to contact 3M directly via their website.
You could use one of these
I think you are looking forsomething like this.
I think 3m makes some polarizing screens, but they make the screen look black only when you're not looking head on. So people would still be able to see your screen, if they are like directly on your shoulder or something.
edit: this is what i was thinking of - filter I'm not actually sure now if it is polarizing...
I use this one and I'm very satisfied with it:
https://www.amazon.com/BUBM-Portable-Electronic-Accessories-Organizer/dp/B01DDICXS2/
https://s30.postimg.org/g3o4wu0fl/Bubm_Soft_Carrying_Bag.jpg
Some of those filters don't obscure anything if the brightness of the Macbook screen is set high.
Plus, they really can cause eyestrain and make the screen look like butt.
But, yeah, 3M makes the 12 inch macbook filter at about $25. Set the Macbook screen brightness setting to low, otherwise it won't obscure much at all. The filters dim the screen for you too, so it can give some people eye strain. Also, not all angles are blacked out to people walking by- some angles you can still catch a glimpse. Someone sitting next to you or directly behind you can often still see your screen.
Here are a few:
