1
00:00:01,067 --> 00:00:01,999
The world is too small,

2
00:00:02,068 --> 00:00:03,797
our wisdom too limited,

3
00:00:03,870 --> 00:00:07,328
our time here too short
to waste any more of it

4
00:00:07,407 --> 00:00:10,342
in winning fleeting victories
at other people's expense.

5
00:00:11,411 --> 00:00:13,072
The Clinton Global initiative,

6
00:00:13,146 --> 00:00:14,875
which brings
philanthropists and CEOs

7
00:00:14,948 --> 00:00:17,508
together with non-profits
to make concrete commitments

8
00:00:17,584 --> 00:00:19,984
aimed at some of the world's
toughest problems.

9
00:00:20,053 --> 00:00:22,283
Almost 10 years in, they have
leveraged billions of dollars

10
00:00:22,355 --> 00:00:24,915
in assistance
in more than 180 countries.

11
00:00:24,991 --> 00:00:29,121
CGI was designed
to tackle big global challenges

12
00:00:29,195 --> 00:00:31,789
in bite-size pieces
with the conviction that

13
00:00:31,865 --> 00:00:35,266
regardless of size or scope,
our problems will yield

14
00:00:35,335 --> 00:00:38,463
to concerted action
and innovative partnerships

15
00:00:38,538 --> 00:00:42,838
of individuals, NGOs,
businesses, and governments.

16
00:00:42,909 --> 00:00:47,175
We have to now find a way
to triumph together.

17
00:00:47,247 --> 00:00:49,977
All the problems
that we face,

18
00:00:50,050 --> 00:00:52,951
from climate change
to financial contagion

19
00:00:53,019 --> 00:00:57,956
to nuclear proliferation, are
too complex and cross-cutting

20
00:00:58,024 --> 00:01:02,358
for any one government or indeed
for governments to solve alone.

21
00:01:02,429 --> 00:01:05,592
As we believe that ending hunger
is not only possible,

22
00:01:05,665 --> 00:01:08,964
but it is both a moral
and strategic imperative.

23
00:01:09,035 --> 00:01:12,436
Hillary Clinton is trying to shift
the spotlight to global warming.

24
00:01:12,505 --> 00:01:14,905
The presidential contender
unveiling her plans

25
00:01:14,974 --> 00:01:16,202
to combat climate change.

26
00:01:16,276 --> 00:01:17,573
Together with
innovative partners

27
00:01:17,644 --> 00:01:19,475
from the public
and private sectors,

28
00:01:19,546 --> 00:01:21,912
we're working to make homes,
universities, and cities

29
00:01:21,981 --> 00:01:23,243
more energy-efficient.

30
00:01:23,316 --> 00:01:26,285
We share
a common future

31
00:01:26,352 --> 00:01:30,345
and we are here
to find common ground.

32
00:01:30,423 --> 00:01:32,550
Women must be empowered.

33
00:01:32,625 --> 00:01:34,616
It's classic Bill Clinton.

34
00:01:34,694 --> 00:01:37,959
By using his birthday to help
the causes he champions,

35
00:01:38,031 --> 00:01:42,991
from combating climate change
to obesity and even HIV/aids.

36
00:01:43,069 --> 00:01:46,436
Help bring
new dignity and respect

37
00:01:46,506 --> 00:01:50,670
to women and girls
all over the world.

38
00:01:50,743 --> 00:01:54,907
And in so doing, bring
new strength and stability

39
00:01:54,981 --> 00:01:57,415
to families as well.

40
00:01:57,484 --> 00:01:59,008
We are trying
to do something

41
00:01:59,085 --> 00:02:01,815
no one has ever done before.

42
00:02:01,888 --> 00:02:05,187
A new report today claims
that the Clinton Foundation

43
00:02:05,258 --> 00:02:09,388
gives about 10% of
its money that it raises

44
00:02:09,462 --> 00:02:13,193
to actual charities and the
services that they offer.

45
00:02:13,266 --> 00:02:14,893
It has been
reported you've made

46
00:02:14,968 --> 00:02:16,833
5 million making speeches.

47
00:02:16,903 --> 00:02:20,805
The president's made
more than $100 million.

48
00:02:20,874 --> 00:02:23,274
Well, if, if you,

49
00:02:23,343 --> 00:02:24,640
you have no reason
to remember, but

50
00:02:24,711 --> 00:02:26,076
we came out of
the White House

51
00:02:26,146 --> 00:02:28,114
not only dead broke
but in debt.

52
00:02:28,181 --> 00:02:29,671
6 years ago,
Hillary Clinton was

53
00:02:29,749 --> 00:02:31,944
about to become
Secretary of State.

54
00:02:32,018 --> 00:02:33,485
Barack Obama had nominated her,

55
00:02:33,553 --> 00:02:36,021
everyone knew she was gonna be
confirmed by the Senate,

56
00:02:36,089 --> 00:02:37,716
gonna be confirmed easily.

57
00:02:37,790 --> 00:02:41,089
But there was a thought,
there was a question,

58
00:02:41,161 --> 00:02:43,220
there was a doubt out there

59
00:02:43,296 --> 00:02:45,491
about a potential
conflict of interest.

60
00:02:45,565 --> 00:02:47,897
The Clinton Foundation
dropping its self-imposed ban

61
00:02:47,967 --> 00:02:51,494
on collecting funds from
foreign governments and entities

62
00:02:51,571 --> 00:02:54,597
and now the "Washington Post"
reports total contributions

63
00:02:54,674 --> 00:02:58,166
to that foundation
amount to $2 billion.

64
00:02:58,244 --> 00:03:00,576
There's a lot of money
sloshing around,

65
00:03:00,647 --> 00:03:02,808
everything is blurred,
and it's not good.

66
00:03:02,882 --> 00:03:05,407
The questions
scream out at me.

67
00:03:05,485 --> 00:03:07,680
What in the world
happened with the foundation

68
00:03:07,754 --> 00:03:11,417
and these ulterior motives and
this money and the email server?

69
00:03:11,491 --> 00:03:13,823
I'm sorry.
Those scream out at me.

70
00:03:13,893 --> 00:03:17,761
The amount of schmoozing
involved and crossing lines

71
00:03:17,830 --> 00:03:20,890
and one person putting
money in a foundation

72
00:03:20,967 --> 00:03:23,527
and then Clinton
getting unbelievable amounts

73
00:03:23,603 --> 00:03:26,834
for his speeches, contracts
going one way or another.

74
00:03:26,906 --> 00:03:28,032
It's not good.

75
00:03:28,107 --> 00:03:31,406
I look forward
to working with all of you,

76
00:03:31,477 --> 00:03:33,604
particularly the appropriators.

77
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:35,409
Uh, we have a lot of work to do

78
00:03:35,481 --> 00:03:38,473
and it is such important work
that lies ahead.

79
00:04:12,518 --> 00:04:16,648
We did this with
a very simple strategy.

80
00:04:53,693 --> 00:04:55,354
Africa is
a continent that has been

81
00:04:55,428 --> 00:04:57,396
a chamber of horrors
for decades.

82
00:05:07,774 --> 00:05:10,709
It's really not the fault
of the African people.

83
00:05:10,777 --> 00:05:13,268
It's largely a result
of the kind of system

84
00:05:13,346 --> 00:05:15,280
that's been perpetuated there.

85
00:05:15,348 --> 00:05:18,806
You have these oligarchs,
which dominate these countries

86
00:05:18,885 --> 00:05:21,080
that oftentimes have
natural resources

87
00:05:21,154 --> 00:05:22,621
that can be very lucrative.

88
00:05:22,689 --> 00:05:24,680
And these oligarchs
strike deals

89
00:05:24,757 --> 00:05:27,783
with foreign corporations
or foreign governments,

90
00:05:27,860 --> 00:05:30,590
who in effect prop them up
and put them in power,

91
00:05:30,663 --> 00:05:33,860
and in exchange, these oligarchs
give these entities

92
00:05:33,933 --> 00:05:37,027
access to rich
mineral deposits.

93
00:05:40,506 --> 00:05:42,599
And the Clintons
you would expect to be

94
00:05:42,675 --> 00:05:44,006
opposed to this sort of thing,

95
00:05:44,077 --> 00:05:46,102
and that's at least
what their language does.

96
00:05:46,179 --> 00:05:49,945
Our countries have deepened
our cooperation on many issues

97
00:05:50,016 --> 00:05:53,816
including good governance
and transparency, energy,

98
00:05:53,886 --> 00:05:55,911
regional security,
and advancing

99
00:05:55,988 --> 00:05:58,684
peace and development
in the Niger Delta.

100
00:05:58,758 --> 00:06:00,749
The problem
is, their words

101
00:06:00,827 --> 00:06:02,818
are different
from their actions.

110
00:06:21,547 --> 00:06:23,412
But his critics
say that far from

111
00:06:23,483 --> 00:06:25,610
entrenching democracy
in Rwanda,

112
00:06:25,685 --> 00:06:29,519
he's actually eroding it
by silencing his opposition.

113
00:06:35,561 --> 00:06:37,859
Paul Kagame
has been praised by

114
00:06:37,930 --> 00:06:39,989
Bill Clinton and the
Clinton Foundation.

115
00:06:42,535 --> 00:06:44,196
But the fact of the matter
is Paul Kagame

116
00:06:44,270 --> 00:06:46,067
has a terrible
human rights record.

117
00:06:48,741 --> 00:06:50,902
He's accused of aiding
military operations

118
00:06:50,977 --> 00:06:53,707
in the neighboring
Democratic Republic of Congo...

119
00:06:53,780 --> 00:06:56,806
and that actually forced the
recruitment of child soldiers.

120
00:06:58,284 --> 00:07:01,879
The U.N. has identified him
as being involved in activities

121
00:07:01,954 --> 00:07:04,650
that entailed massive
human rights violations.

122
00:07:06,025 --> 00:07:07,890
Newer opposition parties
that have been formed

123
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,157
in the last year or two
have, one by one,

124
00:07:11,230 --> 00:07:14,529
been silenced or otherwise
excluded from the race,

125
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,034
and individuals,
not only politicians

126
00:07:17,103 --> 00:07:20,004
but even journalists,
for example, and other Rwandans

127
00:07:20,072 --> 00:07:22,267
who may have views different
from those of the government,

128
00:07:22,341 --> 00:07:25,071
have found themselves at the
receiving end of what has become

129
00:07:25,144 --> 00:07:27,669
quite a violent
campaign of intimidation.

130
00:07:29,916 --> 00:07:33,113
Well, Paul Kagame is
a friend of Bill Clinton's.

131
00:07:33,186 --> 00:07:38,920
I want to say
a special word of appreciation

132
00:07:38,991 --> 00:07:42,154
for the leadership
of president Kagame.

133
00:07:43,796 --> 00:07:47,527
I'm greatly humbled to receive

134
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:51,593
this Clinton
Global Citizen award.

135
00:07:51,671 --> 00:07:54,572
He's actually
given awards by Bill Clinton

136
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:56,938
for his conduct as
the leader of that country,

137
00:07:57,009 --> 00:08:01,070
and they regale him as
a great military leader.

138
00:08:01,147 --> 00:08:03,342
This is the sort
of legitimization

139
00:08:03,416 --> 00:08:06,715
that we don't want of these
kinds of dictators and leaders.

140
00:08:06,786 --> 00:08:08,310
That's the kind of
legitimization

141
00:08:08,387 --> 00:08:09,854
that the Clintons
have engaged in.

142
00:08:09,922 --> 00:08:11,787
And they've done it
in a way that creates

143
00:08:11,858 --> 00:08:15,851
commercial opportunities for
donors and friends and allies,

144
00:08:15,928 --> 00:08:17,793
who want to do business
in Africa.

145
00:08:31,410 --> 00:08:34,937
Business in Africa means you are
dealing with dictators who are

146
00:08:35,014 --> 00:08:37,949
gonna give you access
to, say, mineral rights,

147
00:08:38,017 --> 00:08:40,383
or oil drilling rights,
but you're going to

148
00:08:40,453 --> 00:08:41,613
have to pay them off.

149
00:08:41,687 --> 00:08:44,121
The Clintons partner
with foreign entities

150
00:08:44,190 --> 00:08:48,593
who want access to Africa, and
specifically mining companies

151
00:08:48,661 --> 00:08:51,391
or energy companies who
need to get concessions

152
00:08:51,464 --> 00:08:57,232
for access to oil or natural gas
or the rights to mine for gold.

153
00:08:57,303 --> 00:09:00,830
Those two make a powerful
alliance because these companies

154
00:09:00,907 --> 00:09:02,738
will give money
to the Clintons,

155
00:09:02,808 --> 00:09:05,470
either in the form of
speaking fees or in the form of

156
00:09:05,545 --> 00:09:07,479
donations to
the Clinton Foundation.

157
00:09:07,547 --> 00:09:09,105
And the Clintons
will then, in effect,

158
00:09:09,181 --> 00:09:12,776
do their bidding
before the halls of power

159
00:09:12,852 --> 00:09:15,047
and corridors of power
in Africa,

160
00:09:15,121 --> 00:09:17,919
and they will go to foreign
governments and encourage them

161
00:09:17,990 --> 00:09:20,220
to do business with
individuals who are

162
00:09:20,293 --> 00:09:21,920
putting money in their pocket.

163
00:09:21,994 --> 00:09:26,055
And this leads to some amazing
fits of behavior that, in a way,

164
00:09:26,132 --> 00:09:29,397
are just reminiscent of
19th-century colonialism.

165
00:09:29,468 --> 00:09:32,904
A perfect example of this
is ambassador Joe Wilson.

166
00:09:32,972 --> 00:09:35,634
Joe Wilson is a longtime
friend of the Clintons.

167
00:09:35,708 --> 00:09:37,505
In fact, he endorsed
Hillary Clinton

168
00:09:37,577 --> 00:09:39,943
in the 2008
presidential election.

169
00:09:40,012 --> 00:09:42,810
And it was also thought that he
might become a senior official

170
00:09:42,882 --> 00:09:45,043
in Hillary Clinton's
State Department.

171
00:09:45,117 --> 00:09:47,051
But the fact of the matter
is Joe Wilson was up to

172
00:09:47,119 --> 00:09:51,180
something far more nefarious
during Hillary Clinton's tenure

173
00:09:51,257 --> 00:09:53,088
as Secretary of State.

174
00:09:53,159 --> 00:09:56,993
In 2009, shortly after
she became Secretary of State,

175
00:09:57,063 --> 00:09:58,690
when Wilson was
the vice chairman

176
00:09:58,764 --> 00:10:00,823
of a company called
Jarch capital,

177
00:10:00,900 --> 00:10:02,663
they took out
a 50-year lease on

178
00:10:02,735 --> 00:10:06,034
400,000 hectares
in South Sudan.

179
00:10:06,105 --> 00:10:08,369
South Sudan was in
the middle of a civil war

180
00:10:08,441 --> 00:10:11,103
and this lease was actually
signed with warlords

181
00:10:11,177 --> 00:10:13,702
who were involved
in a civil war.

182
00:10:13,779 --> 00:10:15,371
These individuals
who are engaged in

183
00:10:15,448 --> 00:10:17,143
massive human rights
violations,

184
00:10:17,216 --> 00:10:19,844
including the massacre
of opponent tribes.

185
00:10:19,919 --> 00:10:22,410
And basically, what Joe Wilson
was engaged in

186
00:10:22,488 --> 00:10:25,980
was something called investing
in sovereignty changes.

187
00:10:26,058 --> 00:10:28,856
They were basically cutting
deals, lucrative deals,

188
00:10:28,928 --> 00:10:31,396
worth potentially hundreds of
millions of dollars

189
00:10:31,464 --> 00:10:32,761
with these warlords,

190
00:10:32,832 --> 00:10:34,663
and the expectation was simple,

191
00:10:34,734 --> 00:10:36,793
these warlords
would take power,

192
00:10:36,869 --> 00:10:39,133
then they would give them
access to these lands

193
00:10:39,205 --> 00:10:41,696
where they could make
huge amounts of money

194
00:10:41,774 --> 00:10:44,607
exploring for natural gas,
exploring for oil,

195
00:10:44,677 --> 00:10:45,905
and for mineral rights.

196
00:10:47,346 --> 00:10:49,211
Ambassador Joe Wilson
isn't the only

197
00:10:49,281 --> 00:10:51,249
Clinton friend
and foundation donor

198
00:10:51,317 --> 00:10:53,808
who was working in
war-torn countries.

199
00:10:53,886 --> 00:10:56,878
Swedish mining investor
Lukas Lundin has pledged

200
00:10:56,956 --> 00:10:59,925
$100 million to
the Clinton Foundation.

201
00:10:59,992 --> 00:11:02,017
He did that in 2007.

202
00:11:02,094 --> 00:11:04,426
And his most lucrative
mining operations

203
00:11:04,497 --> 00:11:05,759
are in the war-torn country of

204
00:11:05,831 --> 00:11:08,197
the Democratic Republic
of Congo.

205
00:11:08,267 --> 00:11:10,827
This is a country that perhaps
has the most horrific

206
00:11:10,903 --> 00:11:13,895
human rights situation
on the face of the earth.

207
00:11:13,973 --> 00:11:15,838
By the time Lukas Lundin made

208
00:11:15,908 --> 00:11:19,139
his $100 million pledge
to the Clinton Foundation,

209
00:11:19,211 --> 00:11:23,113
his Congo operation was making,
quote, staggering profits,

210
00:11:23,182 --> 00:11:26,743
end quote, according to
his own financial statements.

211
00:11:26,819 --> 00:11:30,277
His overall capitalization
was $20 billion.

212
00:11:30,356 --> 00:11:32,984
But for those profits
to remain staggering,

213
00:11:33,059 --> 00:11:37,291
U.S. policy under Hillary
Clinton had to remain unchanged.

214
00:11:37,363 --> 00:11:38,295
That's a problem.

215
00:11:38,364 --> 00:11:41,390
Hillary Clinton as
a Senator back in 2006

216
00:11:41,467 --> 00:11:44,459
supported something called
the Congo Relief Security

217
00:11:44,537 --> 00:11:46,164
and Democracy Promotion act.

218
00:11:46,238 --> 00:11:48,069
As the law's name implied,

219
00:11:48,140 --> 00:11:50,472
the goal was to bring
reform to Congo.

220
00:11:50,543 --> 00:11:53,171
That's not something that
Lukas Lundin would want.

221
00:11:53,245 --> 00:11:56,737
So, in 2009, when Hillary
became Secretary of State,

222
00:11:56,816 --> 00:11:59,376
she reversed course 180 degrees

223
00:11:59,452 --> 00:12:01,943
and went from supporting
reform in Congo

224
00:12:02,021 --> 00:12:04,046
to supporting the status quo,

225
00:12:04,123 --> 00:12:06,887
which is exactly what
Lukas Lundin would want,

226
00:12:06,959 --> 00:12:09,587
who of course had
committed $100 million

227
00:12:09,662 --> 00:12:11,289
to the Clinton Foundation.

228
00:12:11,363 --> 00:12:13,888
But Congo isn't the only
scandal-plagued country

229
00:12:13,966 --> 00:12:16,366
where Clinton benefactors
have made millions.

230
00:12:19,271 --> 00:12:21,705
Africa's most
populous nation,

231
00:12:21,774 --> 00:12:24,038
Nigeria, is full of promise.

232
00:12:24,110 --> 00:12:27,238
But fulfilling that promise
is sometimes a struggle.

233
00:12:27,313 --> 00:12:29,577
Plagued by corruption
and mismanagement,

234
00:12:29,648 --> 00:12:34,051
the resource-rich country has
a poverty rate of over 50%.

235
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:35,917
Look at
a country like Nigeria,

236
00:12:35,988 --> 00:12:38,252
which is really
a cesspool of corruption.

237
00:12:38,324 --> 00:12:40,792
In fact, people will
say it is perhaps

238
00:12:40,860 --> 00:12:43,294
the most corrupt country
in the world.

239
00:12:43,362 --> 00:12:45,387
It's rich in natural resources.

240
00:12:45,464 --> 00:12:46,897
It produces a lot of oil.

241
00:12:46,966 --> 00:12:49,093
But that money never
trickles down to the people.

242
00:12:49,168 --> 00:12:51,728
It goes to the oligarchs
who run the country,

243
00:12:51,804 --> 00:12:54,773
who oftentimes take that money
and put it in

244
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,240
Swiss bank accounts
in a way that, of course,

245
00:12:57,309 --> 00:12:59,675
the people of Nigeria
can never benefit from.

246
00:12:59,745 --> 00:13:02,339
And you see there's a federal
law in the United States

247
00:13:02,414 --> 00:13:05,747
which says, if foreign
governments that receive

248
00:13:05,818 --> 00:13:08,685
U.S. assistance
aren't transparent

249
00:13:08,754 --> 00:13:10,847
in how they spend that money,

250
00:13:10,923 --> 00:13:12,652
that they will not
be able to get U.S.

251
00:13:12,725 --> 00:13:14,693
foreign assistance anymore.

252
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:16,250
It's about transparency.

253
00:13:16,328 --> 00:13:17,955
But there's a way
around that law,

254
00:13:18,030 --> 00:13:19,861
and you can get
a waiver from that law.

255
00:13:19,932 --> 00:13:22,526
How? By getting the U.S.
Secretary of State

256
00:13:22,601 --> 00:13:23,966
to grant you a waiver.

257
00:13:24,036 --> 00:13:28,063
Uh, we intend
to remain very supportive

258
00:13:28,140 --> 00:13:31,906
on your reform efforts, uh,
thank you for mentioning, uh,

259
00:13:31,977 --> 00:13:34,275
the work we did together
on the elections.

260
00:13:34,346 --> 00:13:39,340
We're also very supportive of,
uh, the, uh, anti-corruption,

261
00:13:39,418 --> 00:13:42,717
uh, reform efforts,
more transparency,

262
00:13:42,788 --> 00:13:47,816
and the work that you and your
team is also championing.

263
00:13:47,893 --> 00:13:51,158
Uh, because we really
believe that, uh,

264
00:13:51,230 --> 00:13:54,825
the future for, uh,
Nigeria is limitless.

265
00:13:56,368 --> 00:13:58,563
So, in the case
of Nigeria, they receive

266
00:13:58,637 --> 00:14:01,299
hundreds of millions of dollars
in U.S. foreign assistance.

267
00:14:01,373 --> 00:14:03,603
They've not made progress
in being more transparent,

268
00:14:03,676 --> 00:14:05,473
and of course,
they've gotten exemptions

269
00:14:05,544 --> 00:14:08,479
from Hillary Clinton while
she was Secretary of State.

270
00:14:08,547 --> 00:14:11,345
What's so curious about this is
what was happening commercially

271
00:14:11,417 --> 00:14:13,408
to the Clintons
while this was going on.

272
00:14:13,485 --> 00:14:16,784
Bill Clinton, for
the first time ever, gets paid

273
00:14:16,856 --> 00:14:18,881
highly lucrative speeches
in Nigeria,

274
00:14:18,958 --> 00:14:20,550
which had never
happened before.

275
00:14:20,626 --> 00:14:26,292
In fact, he gets paid to do two
speeches, for $700,000 apiece,

276
00:14:26,365 --> 00:14:30,131
by a businessman in Nigeria who
just happens to be close with

277
00:14:30,202 --> 00:14:31,760
the president of that country.

278
00:14:31,837 --> 00:14:35,034
Keep in mind, by the way,
that his normal speaking fee

278
00:14:35,137 --> 00:14:38,434
is less than $200,000 a speech,

279
00:14:38,544 --> 00:14:41,843
so, this was an enormous payday
for Bill Clinton.

280
00:14:41,914 --> 00:14:43,506
OK, now we will
begin the panel.

281
00:14:51,323 --> 00:14:55,020
One of the pinnacles
of power in that country

282
00:14:55,094 --> 00:14:58,188
is a gentleman named
Gilbert Chagoury.

283
00:14:58,264 --> 00:15:01,131
Gilbert Chagoury,
who has committed $1 billion

284
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:02,690
to the Clinton
Global Initiative,

285
00:15:02,768 --> 00:15:06,534
is connected to another
individual in the Clinton orbit,

286
00:15:06,605 --> 00:15:10,405
that would be mark rich,
the billionaire who was on

287
00:15:10,476 --> 00:15:12,637
the FBI's 10 most wanted list

288
00:15:12,711 --> 00:15:15,236
that was suddenly
and surprisingly pardoned

289
00:15:15,314 --> 00:15:18,249
by Bill Clinton in 2001.

290
00:15:18,317 --> 00:15:21,809
Marc Rich, you might recall,
is somebody who was trading oil

291
00:15:21,887 --> 00:15:24,048
with the Ayatollah Khomeini
of Iran

292
00:15:24,123 --> 00:15:26,785
at the same time that
the Ayatollah was holding

293
00:15:26,859 --> 00:15:28,554
50 Americans hostage.

294
00:15:28,627 --> 00:15:32,154
He also had a long history
of busting U.N. sanctions

295
00:15:32,231 --> 00:15:35,394
by trading oil with the
apartheid regime in South Africa

296
00:15:35,467 --> 00:15:38,231
and a whole host of other
nefarious governments.

297
00:15:38,304 --> 00:15:41,398
Well, Gilbert Chagoury,
the high Clinton donor,

298
00:15:41,473 --> 00:15:44,067
was business partners
with Marc Rich.

299
00:15:44,143 --> 00:15:47,078
Together, they sopped up
oil assets in Nigeria

300
00:15:47,146 --> 00:15:48,579
and sold them on the oil market

301
00:15:48,647 --> 00:15:51,343
for the benefit of
a corrupt individual

302
00:15:51,417 --> 00:15:55,217
who was leading Nigeria at
the time, named General Abacha.

303
00:15:55,287 --> 00:15:57,278
Abacha smuggled
by some estimates

304
00:15:57,356 --> 00:16:00,257
$4 billion to $8 billion
out of the country,

305
00:16:00,326 --> 00:16:02,556
and put them in
European bank accounts.

306
00:16:02,628 --> 00:16:06,655
Gilbert Chagoury was indicted
and convicted in Europe

307
00:16:06,732 --> 00:16:08,563
for helping him to do that.

308
00:16:08,634 --> 00:16:12,400
He was charged for aiding and
abetting a criminal enterprise,

309
00:16:12,471 --> 00:16:14,439
and on money
laundering charges.

310
00:16:14,506 --> 00:16:17,100
And the suffering that
ends up being done here

311
00:16:17,176 --> 00:16:20,976
is by the people of Nigeria,
who see their leadership

312
00:16:21,046 --> 00:16:23,105
getting a pass from
the United States.

313
00:16:23,182 --> 00:16:25,377
The elites in those countries
are getting rich.

314
00:16:25,451 --> 00:16:28,284
The Clintons are getting rich,
and the money somehow never

315
00:16:28,354 --> 00:16:30,584
trickles down to
the people of Nigeria.

316
00:16:30,656 --> 00:16:33,887
Sadly, this theme of resources
not trickling down

317
00:16:33,959 --> 00:16:36,723
to those most in need
is a common one

318
00:16:36,795 --> 00:16:38,160
when it comes to the Clintons.

319
00:16:48,340 --> 00:16:50,535
As we told you at the start
of tonight's program,

320
00:16:50,609 --> 00:16:52,509
a major-magnitude
earthquake has hit

321
00:16:52,578 --> 00:16:54,569
the island of Haiti
in the Caribbean.

322
00:16:54,646 --> 00:16:57,308
The quake measured around
7 points on the Richter scale

323
00:16:57,383 --> 00:16:59,977
and its epicenter fell
just 10 miles

324
00:17:00,052 --> 00:17:01,986
from the capital,
Port-au-Prince.

325
00:17:02,054 --> 00:17:04,921
Haiti's ambassador to the U.S.
has described the event

326
00:17:04,990 --> 00:17:07,925
as a catastrophe
of major proportions.

327
00:17:07,993 --> 00:17:13,454
So far, we have no information
regarding the causalities.

328
00:17:13,532 --> 00:17:17,263
The world is coming to
an end...

329
00:17:19,605 --> 00:17:21,038
it was
a big earthquake.

330
00:17:21,106 --> 00:17:23,836
It last like
15 seconds, I think.

331
00:17:23,909 --> 00:17:27,470
Probably the most
devastating humanitarian crisis

332
00:17:27,546 --> 00:17:28,945
that Hillary Clinton
faced during

333
00:17:29,014 --> 00:17:30,845
her tenure at
the State Department

334
00:17:30,916 --> 00:17:33,043
was the tragic
earthquake in Haiti.

335
00:17:35,821 --> 00:17:37,482
It happened in January of 2010,

336
00:17:37,556 --> 00:17:40,081
and literally in
a matter of seconds,

337
00:17:40,159 --> 00:17:42,787
250,000 people were
estimated to have died,

338
00:17:42,861 --> 00:17:45,421
and a large portion of
the Haitian infrastructure

339
00:17:45,497 --> 00:17:47,488
and economy was just decimated.

340
00:17:51,036 --> 00:17:54,802
It was a crisis
on a massive scale.

341
00:17:56,408 --> 00:17:59,434
United States is
offering our full assistance

342
00:17:59,511 --> 00:18:01,877
to Haiti and to others
in the region.

343
00:18:01,947 --> 00:18:05,280
Uh, we will be providing
both civilian and military

344
00:18:05,350 --> 00:18:08,376
disaster relief
and humanitarian assistance

345
00:18:08,454 --> 00:18:11,582
and our prayers are with the
people who have suffered, uh,

346
00:18:11,657 --> 00:18:14,387
their families, uh,
and their loved ones.

347
00:18:16,495 --> 00:18:19,225
In the days and weeks
that followed the earthquake

348
00:18:19,298 --> 00:18:21,266
in January of 2010,

349
00:18:21,333 --> 00:18:25,030
Hillary Clinton made
visits to Haiti.

350
00:18:25,104 --> 00:18:27,299
And here is
the latest on Haiti:

351
00:18:27,372 --> 00:18:28,862
U.S. Secretary of State
Hillary Clinton

352
00:18:28,941 --> 00:18:31,910
arrived in Port-au-Prince
just about an hour ago.

353
00:18:31,977 --> 00:18:35,242
She is the highest-ranking U.S.
official in Haiti right now,

354
00:18:35,314 --> 00:18:36,941
since Tuesday's earthquake.

355
00:18:37,015 --> 00:18:40,007
She's meeting with Haitian
leaders and international officials

356
00:18:40,085 --> 00:18:43,577
to discuss the rescue
and relief effort.

357
00:18:43,655 --> 00:18:45,179
In fact,
on her first visit,

358
00:18:45,257 --> 00:18:47,350
which occurred days
after the earthquake,

359
00:18:47,426 --> 00:18:49,417
they literally had
to stop traffic

360
00:18:49,495 --> 00:18:53,124
going into the airport
at Port-au-Prince.

361
00:18:53,198 --> 00:18:54,859
There, of course,
were relief supplies

362
00:18:54,933 --> 00:18:57,800
that were being flown in,
but that traffic was stopped

363
00:18:57,870 --> 00:19:01,533
so the Secretary of State could
come and assess the damage.

364
00:19:01,607 --> 00:19:02,869
There is
a perception,

365
00:19:02,941 --> 00:19:05,603
there have been complaints
or reports of bottlenecks,

366
00:19:05,677 --> 00:19:08,271
that there is a lot
of aid coming in,

367
00:19:08,347 --> 00:19:09,473
but it's very hard
to get it out

368
00:19:09,548 --> 00:19:10,480
to the people
who need it.

369
00:19:10,549 --> 00:19:11,811
That's just not true.

370
00:19:11,884 --> 00:19:13,545
The aid is coming in.
We're getting it out.

371
00:19:13,619 --> 00:19:15,280
There's just not
enough of it yet.

372
00:19:15,354 --> 00:19:17,345
She flew in
with her political aides

373
00:19:17,422 --> 00:19:19,185
on a large federal airplane.

374
00:19:19,258 --> 00:19:20,623
She landed at the airport,

375
00:19:20,692 --> 00:19:22,557
she made a large
press conference,

376
00:19:22,628 --> 00:19:24,493
made statements
about her commitment

377
00:19:24,563 --> 00:19:26,121
to rebuilding this country,

378
00:19:26,198 --> 00:19:27,927
and then she was
soon whisked away,

379
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:29,729
headed back to Washington, D.C.

380
00:19:33,505 --> 00:19:36,099
theirs is a city in ruins.

381
00:19:36,175 --> 00:19:40,669
A country which can do little
but wait for help to arrive.

382
00:19:43,849 --> 00:19:46,317
The international
community responded in the way

383
00:19:46,385 --> 00:19:47,784
that you would expect it to.

384
00:19:47,853 --> 00:19:50,048
That is, large amounts
of money were committed,

385
00:19:50,122 --> 00:19:51,987
up to $13 billion from

386
00:19:52,057 --> 00:19:54,958
international relief
organizations, and of course,

387
00:19:55,027 --> 00:19:57,689
you had the official role
of the State Department,

388
00:19:57,763 --> 00:20:00,231
which would be point on
U.S. taxpayer dollars

389
00:20:00,299 --> 00:20:03,200
going to Haiti
for the purposes of relief.

390
00:20:03,268 --> 00:20:06,396
I want to assure
the people of Haiti

391
00:20:06,471 --> 00:20:10,874
that the United States
is a friend,

392
00:20:10,943 --> 00:20:13,969
a partner, and a supporter.

393
00:20:14,046 --> 00:20:16,173
Hillary Clinton's
State Department would oversee

394
00:20:16,248 --> 00:20:19,649
the reconstruction effort with
Chief of Staff Cheryl mills

395
00:20:19,718 --> 00:20:21,481
responsible for
the allocation of

396
00:20:21,553 --> 00:20:24,681
U.S. tax dollars through USAID,

397
00:20:24,756 --> 00:20:26,815
and Bill Clinton,
already appointed

398
00:20:26,892 --> 00:20:29,656
special envoy to Haiti
for the United Nations,

399
00:20:29,728 --> 00:20:33,289
was named co-chair of the
interim Haiti recovery commission

400
00:20:33,365 --> 00:20:35,925
along with the former
Haitian prime minister.

401
00:20:36,001 --> 00:20:38,492
I hope that it will be rebuilt

402
00:20:38,570 --> 00:20:40,800
in a much stronger
and more sustainable way,

403
00:20:40,872 --> 00:20:43,102
and I think
the Haitians want that.

404
00:20:43,175 --> 00:20:46,633
So, this was clearly a Clinton
operation from the beginning.

405
00:20:46,712 --> 00:20:48,236
Now, the Haitians
had their own ideas

406
00:20:48,313 --> 00:20:50,873
about how best
to rebuild their country.

407
00:20:50,949 --> 00:20:52,314
They wanted new roads.

408
00:20:52,384 --> 00:20:53,851
They wanted buildings rebuilt.

409
00:20:53,919 --> 00:20:55,614
And that's what
you would expect.

410
00:20:55,687 --> 00:20:57,917
This is how you recover
from an earthquake.

411
00:20:57,990 --> 00:21:00,481
The problem is that the Clintons
had their own agenda...

412
00:21:00,559 --> 00:21:03,460
the interests of major donors,
who had a vested interest in

413
00:21:03,528 --> 00:21:05,257
spending that money in Haiti,

414
00:21:05,330 --> 00:21:06,820
in ways that
would benefit them.

415
00:21:08,667 --> 00:21:10,532
And so, you immediately
had this clash

416
00:21:10,602 --> 00:21:12,729
between the Haitians
and the Clintons.

417
00:21:12,804 --> 00:21:14,863
And Haitians complained
almost immediately

418
00:21:14,940 --> 00:21:17,807
that they were shut out of
the decision making process,

419
00:21:17,876 --> 00:21:20,777
that it was really Bill Clinton
and a few of his friends

420
00:21:20,846 --> 00:21:23,212
that were calling the shots
in the IHRC.

421
00:21:23,282 --> 00:21:27,218
And they made some monumentally
bad decisions that not only

422
00:21:27,286 --> 00:21:29,345
didn't benefit
the Haitian people,

423
00:21:29,421 --> 00:21:31,946
but ended up putting
money in the pockets of

424
00:21:32,024 --> 00:21:36,324
major Clinton donors who had
economic stakes in Haiti.

425
00:21:36,395 --> 00:21:41,094
We have been united
behind a single goal:

426
00:21:41,166 --> 00:21:44,897
making investments in
this country's people

427
00:21:44,970 --> 00:21:46,961
and your infrastructure.

428
00:21:47,039 --> 00:21:50,133
So, it's a classic
example of what some people call

429
00:21:50,208 --> 00:21:52,108
disaster capitalism.

430
00:21:52,177 --> 00:21:55,544
Disaster capitalism in that
a natural disaster

431
00:21:55,614 --> 00:21:58,481
creates opportunities for
rebuilding to take place,

432
00:21:58,550 --> 00:22:00,814
but also for self-enrichment
to take place.

433
00:22:00,886 --> 00:22:04,617
And if you look at the Clintons
and the promises that were made,

434
00:22:04,690 --> 00:22:06,487
and the results that
actually followed,

435
00:22:06,558 --> 00:22:10,050
it is a tragic story of
crony capitalism gone awry.

436
00:22:30,449 --> 00:22:32,007
The single largest
relief project

437
00:22:32,084 --> 00:22:35,076
that the United States
committed taxpayer dollars to,

438
00:22:35,153 --> 00:22:39,852
$124 million to be exact,
was a project called Caracol,

439
00:22:39,925 --> 00:22:41,517
a textile factory
that was built

440
00:22:41,593 --> 00:22:43,458
in the northern part
of the country,

441
00:22:43,528 --> 00:22:46,258
that was supposed to create
some 60,000 jobs

442
00:22:46,331 --> 00:22:49,823
and was supposed to create
tremendous economic growth.

443
00:22:49,901 --> 00:22:51,368
There's a problem here already.

444
00:22:51,436 --> 00:22:54,234
You see, the earthquake affected
the southern part of Haiti.

445
00:22:54,306 --> 00:22:57,332
The northern part of the country
was entirely unaffected.

446
00:22:57,409 --> 00:22:59,570
But who were
the beneficiaries of this?

447
00:22:59,644 --> 00:23:03,102
Companies like Gap, Target,
and Walmart, to name a few.

448
00:23:03,181 --> 00:23:04,808
The Caracol factory was built.

449
00:23:04,883 --> 00:23:07,351
It didn't create 60,000 jobs.

450
00:23:07,419 --> 00:23:09,785
It created barely 5,000 jobs,

451
00:23:09,855 --> 00:23:13,484
but the major American companies
who got textiles tariff-free,

452
00:23:13,558 --> 00:23:16,755
made at low wages,
benefited enormously.

453
00:23:16,828 --> 00:23:20,457
And the end effect on the
Haitians was very, very minimal.

454
00:23:25,036 --> 00:23:27,163
If you look at some of
the infrastructure projects

455
00:23:27,239 --> 00:23:28,900
that were undertaken,

456
00:23:28,974 --> 00:23:30,168
the Clintons had

457
00:23:30,242 --> 00:23:34,372
very grand plans to build
large tracts of homes,

458
00:23:34,446 --> 00:23:36,380
and there were
contractors that were

459
00:23:36,448 --> 00:23:37,938
selected for those projects.

460
00:23:38,016 --> 00:23:40,382
Sometimes the contractors
had experience,

461
00:23:40,452 --> 00:23:41,817
sometimes they did not.

462
00:23:44,089 --> 00:23:47,149
There's one company in Florida
that spent a million dollars

463
00:23:47,225 --> 00:23:48,886
getting equipment into Haiti.

464
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:51,087
They had experience
in disaster relief,

465
00:23:51,163 --> 00:23:53,358
but according to the owners
of that company,

466
00:23:53,432 --> 00:23:56,492
they only made a small donation
to the Clinton Foundation.

467
00:23:56,568 --> 00:23:57,728
And guess what?

468
00:23:57,803 --> 00:23:59,896
They didn't get
any relief contracts.

469
00:23:59,971 --> 00:24:02,940
On the other hand,
the contractors who did win the awards

470
00:24:03,008 --> 00:24:05,135
were given the opportunity
to build homes,

471
00:24:05,210 --> 00:24:07,075
and in some instances
were supposed to build

472
00:24:07,145 --> 00:24:09,739
tens of thousands
of homes for Haitians.

473
00:24:09,815 --> 00:24:11,942
They ended up building
a fraction of that.

474
00:24:12,017 --> 00:24:14,747
For instance, new settlements
program was supposed to build

475
00:24:14,820 --> 00:24:18,415
15,000 homes for $53 million.

476
00:24:18,490 --> 00:24:20,651
Instead, it built 2,600 homes,

477
00:24:20,725 --> 00:24:22,886
less than a quarter
of the original estimate,

478
00:24:22,961 --> 00:24:27,295
for $90 million, or
$47 million over budget,

479
00:24:27,365 --> 00:24:28,525
and they got away with it.

480
00:24:33,038 --> 00:24:35,905
So, you had contracts going
to these relief organizations

481
00:24:35,974 --> 00:24:38,841
that were also involved with
the Clinton Global initiative,

482
00:24:38,910 --> 00:24:41,344
and you had this one
organization, Dalberg,

483
00:24:41,413 --> 00:24:44,473
that was supposed to do an
assessment for relocating people

484
00:24:44,549 --> 00:24:46,278
that suffered
from the earthquake.

485
00:24:46,351 --> 00:24:48,842
They determined that people
should be moved to a site

486
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,946
that happened to be on a cliff
that was highly unstable.

487
00:24:52,023 --> 00:24:55,652
USAID's inspector general
reviewed Dalberg's recommendations

488
00:24:55,727 --> 00:24:58,127
and found them
basically unusable.

489
00:24:58,196 --> 00:25:00,164
One member of
the USAID shelter team

490
00:25:00,232 --> 00:25:02,666
was quoted by "rolling stone"
magazine as saying that

491
00:25:02,734 --> 00:25:05,567
the recommendations were
so bad, it looked like

492
00:25:05,637 --> 00:25:08,538
the team never even
got out of their SUVs.

493
00:25:08,607 --> 00:25:10,905
Another person said that
only one of the people

494
00:25:10,976 --> 00:25:14,241
that was sent to Haiti by
Dalberg actually spoke French.

495
00:25:15,547 --> 00:25:17,014
Telecom mogul
Denis O'Brien

496
00:25:17,082 --> 00:25:18,709
is one of the world's
richest people,

497
00:25:18,783 --> 00:25:21,752
and he's finding opportunities
in the poorest country

498
00:25:21,820 --> 00:25:23,378
in the western hemisphere.

499
00:25:23,455 --> 00:25:24,854
The Irish billionaire
is the largest

500
00:25:24,923 --> 00:25:27,983
private investor in Haiti
through his company, Digicel.

501
00:25:28,059 --> 00:25:30,493
And he is now leading
the Clinton Global initiative

502
00:25:30,562 --> 00:25:32,587
efforts down in Haiti.

503
00:25:32,664 --> 00:25:33,995
Probably no one
came out better

504
00:25:34,065 --> 00:25:35,896
in the Haitian
reconstruction effort

505
00:25:35,967 --> 00:25:38,868
than an Irish billionaire
named Denis O'Brien.

506
00:25:38,937 --> 00:25:41,235
He was a Clinton Foundation
donor, giving them

507
00:25:41,306 --> 00:25:43,672
between $5 and $10 million.

508
00:25:43,742 --> 00:25:46,506
He helped arrange speeches
for Bill Clinton, too.

509
00:25:46,578 --> 00:25:48,443
The interest
of the Obama administration,

510
00:25:48,513 --> 00:25:52,210
particularly former Secretary of
State Hillary Clinton, you know,

511
00:25:52,284 --> 00:25:55,151
all the different
things that have happened

512
00:25:55,220 --> 00:25:59,054
to help Haiti get up off the
floor have been led by the U.S.

513
00:25:59,124 --> 00:26:01,183
and he was the owner
of something called Digicel,

514
00:26:01,259 --> 00:26:04,558
which is a cell phone company,
at the time of the earthquake.

515
00:26:04,629 --> 00:26:05,994
As part of that relief effort,

516
00:26:06,064 --> 00:26:07,998
the State Department
run by Hillary Clinton

517
00:26:08,066 --> 00:26:11,126
wanted to fund a mobile
money transfer service

518
00:26:11,202 --> 00:26:13,636
that would allow Haitian
citizens to transfer and receive

519
00:26:13,705 --> 00:26:15,195
money on their phones.

520
00:26:15,273 --> 00:26:18,470
Well, Digicel applied to be the
recipient of that grant money.

521
00:26:18,543 --> 00:26:20,272
4 weeks after
their application,

522
00:26:20,345 --> 00:26:24,247
Digicel actually sponsored a
speech for Bill Clinton in Jamaica

523
00:26:24,316 --> 00:26:27,342
and they paid him $225,000.

524
00:26:27,419 --> 00:26:30,388
And as it turns out, within
4 months of that speech,

525
00:26:30,455 --> 00:26:34,084
Digicel would receive the first
installment of that grant money.

526
00:26:34,159 --> 00:26:35,820
The earthquake actually
has been great

527
00:26:35,894 --> 00:26:37,759
for Digicel and Denis O'Brien.

528
00:26:39,130 --> 00:26:43,089
More than 4 years since
a magnitude 7.0 earthquake

529
00:26:43,168 --> 00:26:45,932
devastated Haiti,
and outrage there is growing

530
00:26:46,004 --> 00:26:48,438
over the largely failed
reconstruction effort

531
00:26:48,506 --> 00:26:51,031
despite the hundreds of
millions of dollars in aid

532
00:26:51,109 --> 00:26:54,875
that has been collected,
and spent, by the IHRC...

533
00:26:54,946 --> 00:26:57,141
the interim Haiti
recovery commission.

534
00:26:57,215 --> 00:26:59,979
So, whether you're talking
about housing or cell phones,

535
00:27:00,051 --> 00:27:01,143
you see that
the people that are

536
00:27:01,219 --> 00:27:03,187
closest to the Clintons
have made out

537
00:27:03,254 --> 00:27:06,382
very well from
the Haitian earthquake.

538
00:27:06,458 --> 00:27:07,686
The rest of the country,

539
00:27:07,759 --> 00:27:11,217
the ordinary people
of Haiti, not so much.

540
00:27:11,296 --> 00:27:13,161
Haitian activists
stage a protest outside

541
00:27:13,231 --> 00:27:15,131
Hillary Clinton's
Manhattan office.

542
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,259
The demonstrators claim billions
of dollars were stolen through

543
00:27:17,335 --> 00:27:18,597
the Haiti
reconstruction commission,

544
00:27:18,670 --> 00:27:20,194
headed by Bill Clinton.

545
00:27:20,271 --> 00:27:23,263
They also say Haiti was used as
a cover for foreign governments

546
00:27:23,341 --> 00:27:26,003
to funnel kickbacks of possibly
hundreds of millions of dollars

547
00:27:26,077 --> 00:27:27,840
through the Clinton Foundation.

548
00:27:27,912 --> 00:27:29,345
They say it was done
in exchange for favors

549
00:27:29,414 --> 00:27:32,247
that Hillary was doing for them
as Secretary of State.

550
00:27:32,317 --> 00:27:36,083
The tragedy is, we had an
opportunity to rebuild in a way

551
00:27:36,154 --> 00:27:38,952
that would give the people
of that country hope.

552
00:27:39,024 --> 00:27:43,358
Sadly, that opportunity was
squandered and what took place,

553
00:27:43,428 --> 00:27:44,986
rather than rebuilding Haiti,

554
00:27:45,063 --> 00:27:48,294
was the self-enrichment
by friends of the Clintons.

555
00:27:48,366 --> 00:27:50,027
For all of Bill Clinton's
talk about

556
00:27:50,101 --> 00:27:52,695
"building Haiti back better",
the fact remains that

557
00:27:52,771 --> 00:27:55,604
the most visible evidence of
Clinton's role in the recovery

558
00:27:55,674 --> 00:27:59,132
isn't the improvement of daily
life for everyday Haitians

559
00:27:59,210 --> 00:28:01,508
but the construction
of new luxury hotels

560
00:28:01,579 --> 00:28:04,446
just miles from the folks
who have been living in tarps

561
00:28:04,516 --> 00:28:08,316
USAID handed out immediately
after the earthquake.

562
00:28:08,386 --> 00:28:11,844
We are telling
the world of the crimes that

563
00:28:11,923 --> 00:28:15,188
Bill and Hillary Clinton
are responsible for in Haiti.

564
00:28:17,662 --> 00:28:19,425
Lost interest in
Haiti's recovery,

565
00:28:19,497 --> 00:28:21,522
the influence and connections
afforded to

566
00:28:21,599 --> 00:28:23,294
donors from
the Clinton Foundation

567
00:28:23,368 --> 00:28:26,303
appear to have been lessons
learned by others.

568
00:28:26,371 --> 00:28:28,168
So, how much did
connections to the Clintons

569
00:28:28,239 --> 00:28:30,173
matter when you're
talking about Haiti?

570
00:28:30,241 --> 00:28:32,334
Consider the case
of gold mining.

571
00:28:32,410 --> 00:28:34,173
The government of Haiti
had not granted

572
00:28:34,245 --> 00:28:37,305
a gold mining concession
in 50 years.

573
00:28:37,382 --> 00:28:41,148
They decided to do so during the
reconstruction of their country,

574
00:28:41,219 --> 00:28:44,484
which was being overseen
by Bill and Hillary Clinton.

575
00:28:44,556 --> 00:28:48,822
What company did they select
to get this gold mining permit?

576
00:28:48,893 --> 00:28:51,418
A company called VCS mining.

577
00:28:51,496 --> 00:28:54,954
VCS mining had very little
experience in gold mining.

578
00:28:55,033 --> 00:28:58,025
But what did they have?
They had connections.

579
00:28:58,103 --> 00:29:00,367
Shortly after they
got that concession,

580
00:29:00,438 --> 00:29:02,838
someone joined their
board of directors.

581
00:29:02,907 --> 00:29:05,205
It just happened
to be Tony Rodham,

582
00:29:05,276 --> 00:29:08,404
brother of
Hillary Rodham Clinton.

583
00:29:10,515 --> 00:29:12,244
It was a true disaster.

584
00:29:12,317 --> 00:29:15,047
A true disaster that
followed the earthquake

585
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:16,781
which was the natural disaster.

586
00:29:16,855 --> 00:29:19,016
This was the man-made,
Clinton-caused

587
00:29:19,090 --> 00:29:22,253
disaster in relief that
led to the wasting of

588
00:29:22,327 --> 00:29:26,058
enormous sums of money,
the enrichment of elites

589
00:29:26,131 --> 00:29:27,621
that were friends
with the Clintons,

590
00:29:27,699 --> 00:29:30,361
and the Haitians were left in
a situation where their life

591
00:29:30,435 --> 00:29:33,029
was really not much
better than it was

592
00:29:33,104 --> 00:29:34,969
the day after
the earthquake happened.

593
00:29:55,326 --> 00:29:58,693
An ambitious pipeline is
firing off a war of opinions.

594
00:29:58,763 --> 00:30:01,596
Environmental activists
marched in Washington today

595
00:30:01,666 --> 00:30:06,797
to protest plans for
the Keystone XL Oil Pipeline.

596
00:30:06,871 --> 00:30:09,135
A $7 billion project
to transport

597
00:30:09,207 --> 00:30:12,301
800,000 barrels of
tar sands oil a day

598
00:30:12,377 --> 00:30:14,845
from Canada down
to the Gulf Coast.

599
00:30:14,913 --> 00:30:16,437
In Washington,
a showdown

600
00:30:16,514 --> 00:30:17,708
on the Senate floor today

601
00:30:17,782 --> 00:30:19,306
over the Keystone XL Pipeline.

602
00:30:19,384 --> 00:30:21,909
The vote to approve
the controversial pipe project

603
00:30:21,986 --> 00:30:24,079
has big political implications.

604
00:30:24,155 --> 00:30:27,283
The pipeline would create
20,000 jobs, but opponents say

605
00:30:27,358 --> 00:30:29,519
the environmental risk
is too great.

606
00:30:31,229 --> 00:30:33,390
One of the touchstones
of the climate change debate

607
00:30:33,464 --> 00:30:35,625
has been the Keystone
XL Pipeline.

608
00:30:35,700 --> 00:30:39,192
It's designed to carry oil from
Canada through the United States

609
00:30:39,270 --> 00:30:42,330
to refineries in Louisiana
and in Texas.

610
00:30:42,407 --> 00:30:44,807
The environmental movement
has wholeheartedly rejected

611
00:30:44,876 --> 00:30:46,343
this deal from the beginning

612
00:30:46,411 --> 00:30:48,402
because they believe that
it's gonna further contribute

613
00:30:48,479 --> 00:30:51,141
to the problems of
climate change.

614
00:30:51,216 --> 00:30:53,150
- One...
- we are the people,

615
00:30:53,218 --> 00:30:55,118
- two...
- you can't ignore us,

616
00:30:55,186 --> 00:30:57,552
three...

617
00:30:57,622 --> 00:31:00,352
now, you would think that
the Clintons would be opposed to

618
00:31:00,425 --> 00:31:04,156
the Keystone XL Pipeline deal
because of those concerns.

619
00:31:04,229 --> 00:31:08,256
And perhaps they might be,
except for one or two problems,

620
00:31:08,333 --> 00:31:12,064
or should I say one or two
million problems.

621
00:31:12,136 --> 00:31:14,570
You see, when Hillary Clinton
became Secretary of State

622
00:31:14,639 --> 00:31:17,972
in late 2008, there was
already an issue related to

623
00:31:18,042 --> 00:31:20,704
the Keystone XL Pipeline
sitting on her desk.

624
00:31:20,778 --> 00:31:22,040
She was going to have to sign

625
00:31:22,113 --> 00:31:24,638
an environmental and economic
impact statement,

626
00:31:24,716 --> 00:31:27,947
and decide whether the Keystone
XL Pipeline should go forward.

627
00:31:33,157 --> 00:31:35,022
At that precise time,

628
00:31:35,093 --> 00:31:37,027
Bill Clinton gets
a lucrative offer

629
00:31:37,095 --> 00:31:40,496
of nearly $2 million to give
10 speeches in Canada,

630
00:31:40,565 --> 00:31:42,760
for the first time ever,
from a company called

631
00:31:42,834 --> 00:31:44,927
TD Bank Investment Group.

632
00:31:45,003 --> 00:31:48,404
He gave the last speech
in may of 2011.

633
00:31:48,473 --> 00:31:51,203
3 months later, Hillary's
State Department releases

634
00:31:51,276 --> 00:31:54,006
an environmental impact
statement that was seen as

634
00:31:54,176 --> 00:31:56,946
largely supportive of the 
Keystone XL Pipeline

635
00:31:57,048 --> 00:31:59,414
in a way that was
massively controversial.

636
00:31:59,484 --> 00:32:01,213
Hillary Clinton,
in effect, was betraying

637
00:32:01,286 --> 00:32:04,187
the environmental movement
by green-lighting this deal,

638
00:32:04,255 --> 00:32:06,655
when she had in her hands
the power to kill this deal

639
00:32:06,724 --> 00:32:07,656
in its crib.

640
00:32:07,725 --> 00:32:09,386
It was shocking.

641
00:32:09,460 --> 00:32:13,328
Organizations like Greenpeace and
Friends of the Earth were stunned.

642
00:32:13,398 --> 00:32:15,127
They wanted an investigation.

643
00:32:15,199 --> 00:32:16,427
But everybody was mystified.

644
00:32:16,501 --> 00:32:18,196
Nobody could understand
why Hillary Clinton

645
00:32:18,269 --> 00:32:20,032
would sign off on this deal,

646
00:32:20,104 --> 00:32:22,595
particularly when she
had been in favor of

647
00:32:22,674 --> 00:32:25,643
dealing with climate change,
and her boss Barack Obama,

648
00:32:25,710 --> 00:32:29,976
by all indications, seemed to be
opposed to this deal as well.

649
00:32:30,048 --> 00:32:31,037
It's also a time for

650
00:32:31,115 --> 00:32:33,640
a new approach
to climate change.

651
00:32:33,718 --> 00:32:36,016
We know we've got to
deal with global warming.

652
00:32:36,087 --> 00:32:37,816
We're seeing the effects of it.

653
00:32:37,889 --> 00:32:41,416
We need to invest in clean
energy technology today so that

654
00:32:41,492 --> 00:32:46,088
we can create new high-paying
jobs to protect our environment,

655
00:32:46,164 --> 00:32:48,394
to grow our economy,
and to finally break

656
00:32:48,466 --> 00:32:50,491
our addiction to foreign oil.

657
00:32:50,568 --> 00:32:52,763
How did we go from
the Clintons being in favor of

658
00:32:52,837 --> 00:32:57,365
fighting climate change,
and dealing with fossil fuel dependence,

659
00:32:57,442 --> 00:33:00,900
to Hillary Clinton signing off
on the Keystone XL Pipeline?

660
00:33:00,979 --> 00:33:04,813
The evidence that we found was
that it was about the money.

661
00:33:04,882 --> 00:33:06,611
This was not
a philosophical change.

662
00:33:06,684 --> 00:33:09,585
This was not a new way of
thinking about global warming.

663
00:33:09,654 --> 00:33:13,784
This was a way of taking
$2 million in cash,

664
00:33:13,858 --> 00:33:17,624
to essentially buy a decision
by the Secretary of State.

665
00:33:17,695 --> 00:33:20,789
Why is the TD Bank Investment
Group so interesting?

666
00:33:20,865 --> 00:33:24,301
Because they just happen to be
one of the largest shareholders

667
00:33:24,369 --> 00:33:26,496
in the Keystone XL
Pipeline itself.

668
00:33:28,973 --> 00:33:31,874
When we looked at Bill Clinton's
pattern of giving speeches,

669
00:33:31,943 --> 00:33:35,208
we looked at who was paying him,
when they were paying him,

670
00:33:35,279 --> 00:33:37,645
and if they have ever
paid for a speech before.

671
00:33:37,715 --> 00:33:39,740
What's so stunning
is that TD Bank

672
00:33:39,817 --> 00:33:43,150
had never sponsored a speech
by Bill Clinton before

673
00:33:43,221 --> 00:33:45,587
and then suddenly in late 2008,

674
00:33:45,656 --> 00:33:47,248
when Hillary Clinton
has been announced

675
00:33:47,325 --> 00:33:48,690
to be the Secretary of State,

676
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:51,194
and when sitting on her desk
is the matter of

677
00:33:51,262 --> 00:33:53,355
the Keystone XL Pipeline,

678
00:33:53,431 --> 00:33:56,525
they suddenly decide
to sponsor these speeches.

679
00:33:56,601 --> 00:33:59,399
And when people realize that
the Clintons had pocketed

680
00:33:59,470 --> 00:34:02,371
about $2 million
at the precise time

681
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:04,374
Hillary Clinton was
making this decision,

682
00:34:04,442 --> 00:34:06,672
it all now suddenly made sense.

683
00:34:06,744 --> 00:34:10,646
Because as we've seen repeated
over and over and over again,

684
00:34:10,715 --> 00:34:14,242
when it comes to the Clintons,
you have to follow the money.

685
00:34:14,318 --> 00:34:16,479
And in the case of
the Keystone XL Pipeline,

686
00:34:16,554 --> 00:34:18,715
they seem to have
abandoned their principles,

687
00:34:18,790 --> 00:34:23,193
their commitment as it was
to combating global warming,

688
00:34:23,261 --> 00:34:25,661
and dealing with our
dependence on fossil fuels.

689
00:34:25,730 --> 00:34:28,858
They jettisoned that
when $2 million showed up

690
00:34:28,933 --> 00:34:32,596
and suddenly came out in favor
of the Keystone XL Pipeline.

691
00:34:32,670 --> 00:34:34,729
When you see this sort of
pattern of behavior,

692
00:34:34,806 --> 00:34:37,331
you can't come to
any other conclusion,

693
00:34:37,408 --> 00:34:39,501
that it's a system
of pay-to-play.

694
00:34:39,577 --> 00:34:42,011
And again...other entities
appear to have

695
00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:44,275
picked up on this
business model, too.

696
00:34:44,348 --> 00:34:46,908
Well, Bill Clinton has been
paid enormous sums of money

697
00:34:46,984 --> 00:34:48,542
over the years
to give speeches.

698
00:34:48,619 --> 00:34:52,385
On average, he gets a little
less than $200,000 per speech.

699
00:34:52,457 --> 00:34:55,085
But something happened
in late 2008.

700
00:34:55,159 --> 00:34:57,252
His speaking fees skyrocketed

701
00:34:57,328 --> 00:34:59,421
after being out of
office for years.

702
00:34:59,497 --> 00:35:02,625
The reason was his wife
had become Secretary of State.

703
00:35:02,700 --> 00:35:04,600
In fact, 11 of the 13 speeches

704
00:35:04,669 --> 00:35:06,330
for which Bill Clinton
has been paid

705
00:35:06,404 --> 00:35:09,532
half a million dollars or more
occurred precisely when

706
00:35:09,607 --> 00:35:12,405
Hillary was the most powerful
diplomat in the world.

707
00:35:20,718 --> 00:35:24,745
You will never contribute
to an organization

708
00:35:24,822 --> 00:35:28,815
that will give you a higher
probability of having

709
00:35:28,893 --> 00:35:32,488
your good intentions turn into
real, positive changes

710
00:35:32,563 --> 00:35:35,031
in other people's lives.

711
00:35:35,099 --> 00:35:36,327
That will give you
a better chance

712
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:38,061
than what you've
done here tonight.

713
00:35:38,136 --> 00:35:40,331
His single
biggest speech payday

714
00:35:40,404 --> 00:35:43,498
came from the Swedish
telecom company Ericsson,

715
00:35:43,574 --> 00:35:47,567
and it's a very, very unusual
and troubling story.

716
00:35:47,645 --> 00:35:50,011
Now, Ericsson is
a Swedish telecom company

717
00:35:50,081 --> 00:35:52,948
that in 2009 and 2010
was in trouble

718
00:35:53,017 --> 00:35:54,985
with Hillary Clinton's
State Department.

719
00:35:55,052 --> 00:35:57,646
Because Ericsson was selling
a lot of telecom equipment

720
00:35:57,722 --> 00:36:01,317
to Iran, to Belarus, and to
other oppressive governments,

721
00:36:01,392 --> 00:36:04,452
about which the State Department
was concerned.

722
00:36:04,529 --> 00:36:06,997
Ericsson risked being put on a
list by the federal government

723
00:36:07,064 --> 00:36:10,033
in the United States for
trading with an enemy state.

724
00:36:10,101 --> 00:36:12,934
There was actually an effort
being put forward in Washington

725
00:36:13,004 --> 00:36:16,838
to broaden Iranian sanctions to
include the very technologies

726
00:36:16,908 --> 00:36:20,173
that Ericsson was selling
to the Iranian government.

727
00:36:20,244 --> 00:36:23,805
So, it's against this background
that Ericsson decided

728
00:36:23,881 --> 00:36:28,443
now might be a good time to hire
Bill Clinton to give a speech.

729
00:36:28,519 --> 00:36:31,181
They had never paid for
a speech by him before

730
00:36:31,255 --> 00:36:33,052
and they decided to go in big:

731
00:36:33,124 --> 00:36:36,560
$750,000 for a single speech.

732
00:36:36,627 --> 00:36:38,822
7 days after
he gave that speech,

733
00:36:38,896 --> 00:36:42,457
Hillary's State Department came
out with a statement which said,

734
00:36:42,533 --> 00:36:44,626
we are not going to broaden
sanctions on Iran

735
00:36:44,702 --> 00:36:46,761
to include technologies
like telecom.

736
00:36:46,837 --> 00:36:49,931
We are going to rely and expect
companies like Ericsson

737
00:36:50,007 --> 00:36:51,474
to police themselves.

738
00:36:51,542 --> 00:36:54,204
It was a massive
win for Ericsson.

739
00:36:54,278 --> 00:36:57,338
Ericsson was able to avoid
having to deal with

740
00:36:57,415 --> 00:36:59,576
a regulatory battle
in Washington,

741
00:36:59,650 --> 00:37:01,277
giving up contracts that were

742
00:37:01,352 --> 00:37:03,217
highly lucrative
in these countries,

743
00:37:03,287 --> 00:37:05,653
and being put on
a list that would create

744
00:37:05,723 --> 00:37:07,987
enormous diplomatic
problems for them,

745
00:37:08,059 --> 00:37:10,493
all because essentially,
they paid Bill Clinton

746
00:37:10,561 --> 00:37:13,587
to give a speech for $750,000.

747
00:37:13,664 --> 00:37:15,359
Will you continue
to give speeches?

748
00:37:15,433 --> 00:37:17,924
Oh, yeah.
I gotta pay our bills.

749
00:37:30,915 --> 00:37:33,247
So, the question is, why
do we see the Clintons reversing

750
00:37:33,317 --> 00:37:37,617
decades of policy positions
that they've held so closely

751
00:37:37,688 --> 00:37:40,623
on issues like human rights
and environment?

752
00:37:40,691 --> 00:37:42,249
And a big clue comes
from folks that are

753
00:37:42,326 --> 00:37:44,385
giving the Clinton
Foundation literally

754
00:37:44,462 --> 00:37:45,952
tens of millions of dollars.

755
00:37:46,030 --> 00:37:48,726
And one, if not the biggest
donor to the foundation,

756
00:37:48,799 --> 00:37:51,199
is a Canadian named
Frank Giustra.

757
00:37:51,269 --> 00:37:53,032
Giustra is in
the mining business...

758
00:37:53,104 --> 00:37:55,732
hardly something you'd call
environmentally friendly...

759
00:37:55,806 --> 00:37:57,831
and he has interests
all over the world.

760
00:37:57,908 --> 00:37:59,773
And he uses his relationship
with the Clintons

761
00:37:59,844 --> 00:38:02,176
to benefit those interests
regardless of

762
00:38:02,246 --> 00:38:03,713
the environmental concerns.

763
00:38:03,781 --> 00:38:06,477
A great example of this is
what happened in Colombia.

764
00:38:08,819 --> 00:38:10,787
What's so interesting
about the relationship that

765
00:38:10,855 --> 00:38:12,618
the Clintons have
with Frank Giustra

766
00:38:12,690 --> 00:38:15,454
is they tend to show up in
these foreign countries together

767
00:38:15,526 --> 00:38:16,993
at the same time.

768
00:38:17,061 --> 00:38:19,529
Frank Giustra's made billions
of dollars over the years

769
00:38:19,597 --> 00:38:21,861
in the so-called penny
stock market in Canada,

770
00:38:21,932 --> 00:38:24,298
which is highly open
to manipulation.

771
00:38:24,368 --> 00:38:26,768
He's been very successful
in this area.

772
00:38:26,837 --> 00:38:28,805
Now, the Vancouver stock
exchange is not like

773
00:38:28,873 --> 00:38:31,341
the New York stock exchange
in the United States.

774
00:38:31,409 --> 00:38:33,707
This is a stock market
or an exchange

775
00:38:33,778 --> 00:38:35,746
that is dominated
by penny stocks.

776
00:38:35,813 --> 00:38:38,145
Made up of a lot of
natural resources stocks,

777
00:38:38,215 --> 00:38:41,116
it's sort of the wild,
wild west of investing.

778
00:38:41,185 --> 00:38:44,643
It's called dodge city
sometimes, and the reason is

779
00:38:44,722 --> 00:38:46,553
because there's
a lot of speculators,

780
00:38:46,624 --> 00:38:48,785
there's a lot of misinformation
that's put around,

781
00:38:48,859 --> 00:38:50,793
and there are a lot
of mining companies

782
00:38:50,861 --> 00:38:52,590
that don't really
have any assets,

783
00:38:52,663 --> 00:38:54,631
but will proclaim to have
gotten the rights

784
00:38:54,699 --> 00:38:56,963
to some lucrative gold mine,
let's say,

785
00:38:57,034 --> 00:38:59,969
and then they send that news out
to the public in the hope that

786
00:39:00,037 --> 00:39:03,006
it will lead to a flood of
people buying the penny stock,

787
00:39:03,074 --> 00:39:05,668
so the shareholders
can sell their assets.

788
00:39:13,050 --> 00:39:17,384
So, in June of 2010,
Bill Clinton and Frank Giustra

789
00:39:17,455 --> 00:39:20,015
fly to Bogota, Colombia.

790
00:39:20,091 --> 00:39:23,424
And who arrives there
at roughly the same time?

791
00:39:23,494 --> 00:39:25,985
Secretary of state
Hillary Clinton.

792
00:39:26,063 --> 00:39:27,894
The big thing from
the news conference was,

793
00:39:27,965 --> 00:39:30,024
where Bill and Hillary
were dining

794
00:39:30,101 --> 00:39:31,432
the other night in Bogota.

795
00:39:31,502 --> 00:39:33,868
Uh, I had a chance to talk to
her about her dinner experience

796
00:39:33,938 --> 00:39:36,429
in the Zona Rosa and here's
what she had to say.

797
00:39:36,507 --> 00:39:37,565
Dinner was good?

798
00:39:37,641 --> 00:39:39,541
It was excellent
in every way.

799
00:39:39,610 --> 00:39:40,577
So, it was like
eating in the states

800
00:39:40,644 --> 00:39:42,009
but eating in Bogota?

801
00:39:42,079 --> 00:39:47,210
Well, uh... it was
a real treat to be in Bogota

802
00:39:47,284 --> 00:39:50,651
and, uh, to be with people
who love this city so much,

803
00:39:50,721 --> 00:39:52,154
including my husband.

804
00:39:52,223 --> 00:39:54,783
Now, in her memoirs,
Hillary Clinton says that

805
00:39:54,859 --> 00:39:57,054
this is just
a happy coincidence,

806
00:39:57,128 --> 00:39:58,652
but when you see what follows,

807
00:39:58,729 --> 00:40:01,323
you realize that
this is no coincidence.

808
00:40:01,399 --> 00:40:04,027
The following morning, Bill
Clinton has a breakfast meeting

809
00:40:04,101 --> 00:40:08,037
with the outgoing president
of Colombia, president Uribe.

810
00:40:08,105 --> 00:40:11,302
Then, like a tag team, Secretary
of State Hillary Clinton

811
00:40:11,375 --> 00:40:13,639
has a noon
lunch meeting with him,

812
00:40:13,711 --> 00:40:15,440
and she grants him
several favors,

813
00:40:15,513 --> 00:40:16,912
including technical agreements

814
00:40:16,981 --> 00:40:19,074
that the Colombian
government wants.

815
00:40:19,150 --> 00:40:21,846
In the days that follow,
something dramatic happens.

816
00:40:21,919 --> 00:40:24,183
Frank Giustra has 3 companies

817
00:40:24,255 --> 00:40:27,190
that get major concessions
from the Colombian government.

818
00:40:27,258 --> 00:40:31,888
Pacific Rubiales, Petroamerica,
and Prima Colombia properties.

819
00:40:31,962 --> 00:40:33,987
One of those,
Prima Colombia properties,

820
00:40:34,064 --> 00:40:37,465
gets a concession to cut timber
in a rain forest in Colombia

821
00:40:37,535 --> 00:40:39,765
along the Pacific Coast.

822
00:40:39,837 --> 00:40:43,068
And that timber is not intended
to export to the United States,

823
00:40:43,140 --> 00:40:45,836
but is intended
for export to china.

824
00:40:49,213 --> 00:40:52,546
There is an outrage
and upset environmentalists

825
00:40:52,616 --> 00:40:54,413
who realize what's going on,

826
00:40:54,485 --> 00:40:56,510
and eventually
that permit is yanked

827
00:40:56,587 --> 00:40:58,418
by a future president
of Colombia,

828
00:40:58,489 --> 00:41:02,357
but not before Frank Giustra's
company is able to profit

829
00:41:02,426 --> 00:41:05,224
from cutting down
these rain forests.

830
00:41:05,296 --> 00:41:07,821
Which again is a behavior
that runs so contrary

831
00:41:07,898 --> 00:41:10,492
to what the Clintons
profess to be in favor of.

832
00:41:10,568 --> 00:41:12,035
We all know that
in order to build

833
00:41:12,102 --> 00:41:14,297
low-carbon economies
for the future,

834
00:41:14,371 --> 00:41:16,635
we need sustainable forests.

835
00:41:16,707 --> 00:41:18,607
I also know
the future of our planet

836
00:41:18,676 --> 00:41:21,270
depends on healthy,
standing forests.

837
00:41:21,345 --> 00:41:23,905
They have talked about
the problems of deforestation.

838
00:41:23,981 --> 00:41:25,778
They've talked about
the problems of...

839
00:41:25,850 --> 00:41:28,683
the need for successful
growing forests

840
00:41:28,752 --> 00:41:31,687
to mitigate carbon dioxide
in the air.

841
00:41:31,755 --> 00:41:34,747
And yet when this commercial
opportunity was presented

842
00:41:34,825 --> 00:41:36,690
to a major donor of theirs,

843
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:39,627
they seemed to be very much
supportive of that,

844
00:41:39,697 --> 00:41:42,791
and in fact helped to get him
those concessions.

845
00:41:42,867 --> 00:41:44,892
He deserves
the credit for this.

846
00:41:44,969 --> 00:41:46,664
This was his idea,
not mine,

847
00:41:46,737 --> 00:41:48,796
and he raised
the money.

848
00:41:48,873 --> 00:41:51,899
And it's an astonishing
achievement.

849
00:41:51,976 --> 00:41:54,069
My job is to make sure
that it's not in vain.

850
00:41:54,144 --> 00:41:56,977
That he gets the return
on his investment,

851
00:41:57,047 --> 00:41:58,947
and his compassion,
and his commitment.

852
00:41:59,016 --> 00:41:59,948
The Clintons
appear to have

853
00:42:00,017 --> 00:42:01,644
changed their stance on issues

854
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:04,153
even more significant
than the environment

855
00:42:04,221 --> 00:42:05,518
in ways that benefit those

856
00:42:05,589 --> 00:42:07,250
who have put money
in their pockets.

857
00:42:34,285 --> 00:42:37,152
I represent
a president and a country

858
00:42:37,221 --> 00:42:42,181
committed to a vision of
a world without nuclear weapons,

859
00:42:42,259 --> 00:42:46,286
and to taking the concrete
steps necessary

860
00:42:46,363 --> 00:42:48,160
that will help us get there.

861
00:42:48,232 --> 00:42:51,133
The Indian nuclear deal,
I think, is so troubling because

862
00:42:51,201 --> 00:42:54,398
this is a core
national security issue.

863
00:42:54,471 --> 00:42:57,372
One of the signature
achievements in foreign policy

863
00:42:57,451 --> 00:43:01,392
for Bill Clinton was
pushing the test-ban treaty

864
00:43:01,545 --> 00:43:03,206
and the non-proliferation
treaty.

865
00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:04,474
Today in New York,

866
00:43:04,548 --> 00:43:08,348
the United Nations General
Assembly voted overwhelmingly

867
00:43:08,419 --> 00:43:12,014
to adopt a comprehensive
nuclear test-ban treaty

868
00:43:12,089 --> 00:43:15,081
and open it for signature
later this month.

869
00:43:15,159 --> 00:43:17,184
The N.P.T. has been
sort of the holy grail

870
00:43:17,261 --> 00:43:19,456
when it comes to
nuclear disarmament.

871
00:43:19,530 --> 00:43:21,691
Something that the Clintons
had been supportive of,

872
00:43:21,765 --> 00:43:23,790
not just for years
but for decades.

873
00:43:25,135 --> 00:43:28,070
That was all
thrown asunder in 1998,

874
00:43:28,138 --> 00:43:30,368
when the Indian
government tested

875
00:43:30,441 --> 00:43:32,238
nuclear weapons underground.

876
00:43:32,309 --> 00:43:34,971
India's action threatens
the stability of Asia

877
00:43:35,045 --> 00:43:38,344
and challenges the firm
international consensus

878
00:43:38,415 --> 00:43:40,383
to stop all nuclear testing.

879
00:43:41,952 --> 00:43:44,648
These were tests
that truly shocked the world.

880
00:43:44,722 --> 00:43:47,020
Even the CIA was not aware that

881
00:43:47,091 --> 00:43:49,082
these tests were
about to take place.

882
00:43:49,159 --> 00:43:51,957
Clinton's reaction
was volcanic.

883
00:43:52,029 --> 00:43:54,224
He felt betrayed by
the Indian government.

884
00:43:54,298 --> 00:43:58,200
And as a result, he imposed
sanctions on India,

885
00:43:58,268 --> 00:44:00,395
essentially saying,
you're not going to get access

886
00:44:00,471 --> 00:44:04,931
to U.S. nuclear technology
until you sign the N.P.T.,

887
00:44:05,009 --> 00:44:06,738
the Non-Proliferation Treaty.

888
00:44:09,013 --> 00:44:11,504
In 2005, the Indian government

889
00:44:11,582 --> 00:44:13,982
wanted to get these
sanctions lifted.

890
00:44:14,051 --> 00:44:15,348
Not only do they
have an interest

891
00:44:15,419 --> 00:44:18,115
in expanding their
civilian nuclear base,

892
00:44:18,188 --> 00:44:19,314
they live in
a neighborhood where

893
00:44:19,390 --> 00:44:21,585
some pretty tough
customers and rivals

894
00:44:21,659 --> 00:44:23,593
have nuclear
weapons themselves.

895
00:44:23,661 --> 00:44:25,458
First of all,
you've got Pakistan,

896
00:44:25,529 --> 00:44:26,860
which is right next door,

897
00:44:26,930 --> 00:44:29,330
which is widely believed
to have nuclear weapons,

898
00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:32,335
and then you have China,
a longtime rival of India,

899
00:44:32,403 --> 00:44:34,303
which has a nuclear arsenal.

900
00:44:34,371 --> 00:44:36,236
The Clintons said that
they were in favor of

901
00:44:36,306 --> 00:44:39,002
giving the Indian government
some access,

902
00:44:39,076 --> 00:44:40,304
but the problem is it didn't go

903
00:44:40,377 --> 00:44:43,710
nearly as far as
the Indian government wanted.

904
00:44:43,781 --> 00:44:46,306
So, in 2005,
they started making

905
00:44:46,383 --> 00:44:48,783
donations to
the Clinton Foundation.

906
00:44:51,021 --> 00:44:53,148
This morning,
yet another shady donation

907
00:44:53,223 --> 00:44:55,088
to the Clinton Foundation
has surfaced,

908
00:44:55,159 --> 00:44:58,754
this time tied to
a donor from India,

909
00:44:58,829 --> 00:45:00,524
apparently a friend
of Bill Clinton.

910
00:45:00,597 --> 00:45:03,065
We're talking about
tens of millions of dollars

911
00:45:06,303 --> 00:45:08,965
and we're talking about
at least hundreds of thousands

912
00:45:09,039 --> 00:45:10,939
if not millions of dollars
in speeches

913
00:45:11,008 --> 00:45:12,873
that Bill Clinton was paid,

914
00:45:12,943 --> 00:45:15,969
by interested parties
in the Indian nuclear deal.

915
00:45:18,082 --> 00:45:21,142
Amar Singh, according to Clinton
disclosures, has given between

916
00:45:21,218 --> 00:45:24,119
$1 million and $5 million
to the Clinton Foundation

917
00:45:24,188 --> 00:45:25,780
in the push
to get them to support

918
00:45:25,856 --> 00:45:29,019
Indian access
to nuclear technology.

919
00:45:29,093 --> 00:45:31,186
He's a member of parliament
who has gotten in

920
00:45:31,261 --> 00:45:33,286
fistfights on the floor
of the parliament,

921
00:45:33,363 --> 00:45:36,696
who's been charged with
bribing members of parliament

922
00:45:36,767 --> 00:45:39,793
to get certain pieces
of legislation passed.

923
00:45:39,870 --> 00:45:43,101
You see, the problem is,
when you ask Amar Singh,

924
00:45:43,173 --> 00:45:44,902
he says, it wasn't my money.

925
00:45:44,975 --> 00:45:46,465
I don't have
that kind of money.

926
00:45:46,543 --> 00:45:49,068
I couldn't have given him
that amount of money.

927
00:45:49,146 --> 00:45:51,444
And in fact, when you look
at Indian public records,

928
00:45:51,515 --> 00:45:54,973
you see that Amar Singh doesn't
have a net worth anything close

929
00:45:55,052 --> 00:45:57,111
to being able to give
that amount of money.

930
00:45:57,187 --> 00:45:58,415
So, where did
the money come from?

931
00:46:00,057 --> 00:46:03,254
Well, sometimes the most obvious
answer is the correct one.

932
00:46:03,327 --> 00:46:05,261
Sant Chatwal is
an Indian businessman

933
00:46:05,329 --> 00:46:07,695
who has been close to
the Clintons for years.

934
00:46:07,765 --> 00:46:09,562
He pledged to raise $5 million

935
00:46:09,633 --> 00:46:12,124
for her 2008
presidential campaign

936
00:46:12,202 --> 00:46:14,295
and Bill Clinton was
at his son's wedding.

937
00:46:14,371 --> 00:46:16,032
They actually named him
as a trustee

938
00:46:16,106 --> 00:46:17,630
of the Clinton Foundation.

939
00:46:17,708 --> 00:46:20,905
When Hillary Clinton was first
running for the Senate in 2000,

940
00:46:20,978 --> 00:46:23,310
Sant Chatwal was in trouble
with a federal agency

941
00:46:23,380 --> 00:46:26,213
called the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation.

942
00:46:26,283 --> 00:46:30,083
He basically owed them millions
of dollars from unpaid loans.

943
00:46:30,154 --> 00:46:31,849
Well, in 2000, Chatwal throws

944
00:46:31,922 --> 00:46:33,787
a fundraiser
for Hillary Clinton

945
00:46:33,857 --> 00:46:35,984
and he brings in
half a million dollars.

946
00:46:36,059 --> 00:46:37,822
A few months later,
with Bill Clinton

947
00:46:37,895 --> 00:46:39,863
still President of
the United States,

948
00:46:39,930 --> 00:46:42,262
Sant Chatwal's case
with the FDIC

949
00:46:42,332 --> 00:46:46,632
was abruptly settled
for a mere $125,000.

950
00:46:46,703 --> 00:46:48,193
So, basically,
the federal government

951
00:46:48,272 --> 00:46:50,206
got pennies on the dollar.

952
00:46:50,274 --> 00:46:51,707
He would actually
go on to plead guilty

953
00:46:51,775 --> 00:46:56,735
for funneling $180,000 in
illegal campaign contributions

954
00:46:56,814 --> 00:46:58,475
to Hillary Clinton,
among others,

955
00:46:58,549 --> 00:47:00,574
and no one seems to have
made the connection.

956
00:47:00,651 --> 00:47:03,643
Well, maybe one reason no one
made the connection is because

957
00:47:03,720 --> 00:47:07,121
the Clinton Foundation
mysteriously erased any mention

958
00:47:07,191 --> 00:47:09,091
of Sant Chatwal
from the web site

959
00:47:09,159 --> 00:47:11,719
once he had admitted
to his illegal activity.

960
00:47:11,795 --> 00:47:13,262
So, here we are, years later,

961
00:47:13,330 --> 00:47:15,423
and we've got this donation
and a guy's name

962
00:47:15,499 --> 00:47:18,229
who swears he didn't actually
make the donation.

963
00:47:18,302 --> 00:47:21,294
And you've got this longtime
Clinton benefactor who actually

964
00:47:21,371 --> 00:47:24,101
gets the highest
civilian award in India

965
00:47:24,174 --> 00:47:26,802
because of his role in
changing Hillary Clinton's mind

966
00:47:26,877 --> 00:47:28,276
on this nuke deal.

967
00:47:28,345 --> 00:47:30,745
Sant Chatwal says
he's worked with everybody.

968
00:47:30,814 --> 00:47:34,272
And even laid the foundation
of the Indo-U.S. nuclear deal.

969
00:47:35,452 --> 00:47:36,851
So, the Indian
government says that

970
00:47:36,920 --> 00:47:38,387
they have given you
this award for your role

971
00:47:38,455 --> 00:47:41,117
in pushing the Indo-U.S.
nuclear deal forward.

972
00:47:41,191 --> 00:47:42,783
How exactly
would you describe

973
00:47:42,860 --> 00:47:44,919
the role you played
in this?

974
00:47:44,995 --> 00:47:47,122
Well, I can tell you,
the Indo nuclear power deal,

975
00:47:47,197 --> 00:47:49,461
if you look at it,
I am the first one

976
00:47:49,533 --> 00:47:50,591
that laid the foundation.

977
00:47:53,570 --> 00:47:55,663
On the eve
of the vote in 2008

978
00:47:55,739 --> 00:47:59,470
to approve Indian access to U.S.
civilian nuclear technology,

979
00:47:59,543 --> 00:48:02,341
Amar Singh, who barely knows
Hillary Clinton,

980
00:48:02,412 --> 00:48:04,004
had a two-hour meeting with her

981
00:48:04,081 --> 00:48:07,346
where they discussed
the Indian nuclear deal.

982
00:48:07,417 --> 00:48:08,941
Amar Singh says
that the dinner meeting

983
00:48:09,019 --> 00:48:12,853
resulted in her telling him that
she was supportive of the deal,

984
00:48:12,923 --> 00:48:15,050
and that she was making efforts
to make sure

985
00:48:15,125 --> 00:48:16,990
that the deal did get through.

986
00:48:17,060 --> 00:48:19,722
And lo and behold, by 2008,

987
00:48:19,796 --> 00:48:21,957
Hillary Clinton was
fully in support

988
00:48:22,032 --> 00:48:24,500
and in favor of this policy,
in a way that was

989
00:48:24,568 --> 00:48:27,298
a complete reversal
of the position

990
00:48:27,371 --> 00:48:29,134
that she had taken before.

991
00:48:29,206 --> 00:48:31,367
In other words, the flow of
money had led the Clintons

992
00:48:31,441 --> 00:48:34,968
to change their positions
on the Non-Proliferation Treaty,

993
00:48:35,045 --> 00:48:37,309
and specifically,
India getting access

994
00:48:37,381 --> 00:48:39,713
to U.S. nuclear technology.

995
00:48:39,783 --> 00:48:42,479
This was a decision
that was wholly out of step,

996
00:48:42,552 --> 00:48:45,851
wholly inconsistent with
the progressive liberal agenda.

997
00:48:45,923 --> 00:48:47,891
Hillary Clinton
made the decision of

998
00:48:47,958 --> 00:48:50,119
reversing her
previous position

999
00:48:50,193 --> 00:48:53,026
after the flow of funds
to the Clinton Foundation,

1000
00:48:53,096 --> 00:48:55,564
and her husband gave
some speeches in India.

1001
00:48:55,632 --> 00:48:58,260
But this wouldn't be the last
time Hillary reversed herself

1002
00:48:58,335 --> 00:49:00,860
regarding nuclear
weapons technology.

1003
00:49:00,938 --> 00:49:04,305
Shockingly, Bill and Hillary
would end up receiving money

1004
00:49:04,374 --> 00:49:06,842
from folks that were looking
to make something happen

1005
00:49:06,910 --> 00:49:08,605
a lot closer to home.

1006
00:49:28,465 --> 00:49:30,262
I think the Russian
uranium story

1007
00:49:30,334 --> 00:49:33,098
is perhaps the most shocking
and most blatant example

1008
00:49:33,170 --> 00:49:34,637
of how the Clintons operate.

1009
00:49:34,705 --> 00:49:38,334
This is a story about the
Russian state nuclear agency,

1010
00:49:38,408 --> 00:49:44,313
American uranium, $145 million
in cash, and the Clintons.

1011
00:49:44,381 --> 00:49:46,611
At the end of the day,
this is a story

1012
00:49:46,683 --> 00:49:50,084
about buying influence
and selling influence.

1013
00:49:50,153 --> 00:49:52,451
The Clintons are
the sellers of influence.

1014
00:49:52,522 --> 00:49:56,891
The Canadian investors
and the Russians are the buyers.

1015
00:49:56,960 --> 00:50:00,919
Bill Clinton had gone to the
central Asian country of Kazakhstan,

1016
00:50:00,998 --> 00:50:04,263
in 2005, with Frank Giustra.

1017
00:50:04,334 --> 00:50:06,461
Kazakhstan is a country
that has been run,

1018
00:50:06,536 --> 00:50:08,436
since the collapse of
the Soviet Union,

1019
00:50:08,505 --> 00:50:10,803
by a dictator named Nazarbayev,

1020
00:50:10,874 --> 00:50:12,933
who shuts down
political opposition

1021
00:50:13,010 --> 00:50:15,205
and tortures
political opponents.

1022
00:50:15,278 --> 00:50:17,769
The ostensible purpose
of the visit to Kazakhstan

1023
00:50:17,848 --> 00:50:23,115
by Bill Clinton was to talk
with Nazarbayev about aids/HIV.

1024
00:50:23,186 --> 00:50:25,620
The problem is,
Kazakhstan really does not have

1025
00:50:25,689 --> 00:50:29,125
an aids/HIV problem,
so, that explanation

1026
00:50:29,192 --> 00:50:30,659
really doesn't make sense.

1027
00:50:30,727 --> 00:50:34,561
What makes far more sense is
that Frank Giustra wanted access

1028
00:50:34,631 --> 00:50:38,260
to very lucrative
Kazakh uranium mines.

1029
00:50:38,335 --> 00:50:40,394
Kazakhstan is one of
the largest producers

1030
00:50:40,470 --> 00:50:42,335
of uranium in the world.

1031
00:50:42,406 --> 00:50:44,670
Bill Clinton arrives there
with Frank Giustra,

1032
00:50:44,741 --> 00:50:47,904
and they have a series of
meetings with Kazakh officials.

1033
00:50:47,978 --> 00:50:50,970
There's a press conference
where Bill Clinton stands

1034
00:50:51,048 --> 00:50:52,606
with the dictator
of Kazakhstan

1035
00:50:52,682 --> 00:50:55,776
and he praises
the human rights record.

1036
00:50:55,852 --> 00:50:58,616
He praises that elections that
are being held in the country,

1037
00:50:58,688 --> 00:51:01,088
and he even says that
Kazakhstan should head up

1038
00:51:01,158 --> 00:51:03,388
something called
the OSCE, which is

1039
00:51:03,460 --> 00:51:07,055
the Organization for Security
and Cooperation in Europe.

1040
00:51:07,130 --> 00:51:08,654
Think about that for a second.

1041
00:51:08,732 --> 00:51:11,792
Bill Clinton is saying that
a known human rights violator,

1042
00:51:11,868 --> 00:51:14,359
who's been condemned by
human rights organizations

1043
00:51:14,438 --> 00:51:18,397
around the world, should head up
a human rights organization.

1044
00:51:18,475 --> 00:51:20,739
They go from a press
conference to a dinner where

1045
00:51:20,811 --> 00:51:24,372
Frank Giustra, Nazarbayev,
the dictator of Kazakhstan,

1046
00:51:24,448 --> 00:51:27,144
and Bill Clinton meet and talk.

1047
00:51:27,217 --> 00:51:29,515
Well, two days
after that meeting,

1048
00:51:29,586 --> 00:51:33,249
Frank Giustra finally
gets his uranium concessions,

1049
00:51:33,323 --> 00:51:35,791
worth hundreds of
millions of dollars.

1050
00:51:35,859 --> 00:51:37,019
A couple of weeks after that,

1051
00:51:37,094 --> 00:51:40,257
Bill Clinton gets his
$30 million from Frank Giustra,

1052
00:51:40,330 --> 00:51:42,389
the first payment
in what will become

1053
00:51:42,466 --> 00:51:45,299
more than $100 million
in pledges and commitments

1054
00:51:45,368 --> 00:51:47,598
and donations,
made by Frank Giustra.

1055
00:51:50,740 --> 00:51:53,470
So, it's really in a way
a simple story,

1056
00:51:53,543 --> 00:51:56,011
in that they all are
walking away from the table

1057
00:51:56,079 --> 00:51:57,478
with something that they want.

1058
00:51:57,547 --> 00:52:01,244
Nazarbayev is getting the
legitimacy of an ex-president

1059
00:52:01,318 --> 00:52:03,752
saying what a nice
and kind leader he is,

1060
00:52:03,820 --> 00:52:06,015
Frank Giustra gets his
uranium concession,

1061
00:52:06,089 --> 00:52:09,490
and Bill Clinton and his
foundation get cold, hard cash.

1062
00:52:12,829 --> 00:52:15,093
Now let's move to
chapter two of this story,

1063
00:52:15,165 --> 00:52:17,099
which is even more sinister.

1064
00:52:17,167 --> 00:52:19,032
You see, the international
uranium market

1065
00:52:19,102 --> 00:52:20,467
is very competitive.

1066
00:52:20,537 --> 00:52:22,596
The Kremlin sees
dominance and control

1067
00:52:22,672 --> 00:52:25,903
of the uranium market
as a source of national power.

1068
00:52:25,976 --> 00:52:29,742
Frank Giustra takes that uranium
concession he got in Kazakhstan

1069
00:52:29,813 --> 00:52:33,715
and puts it into a company
in a so-called reverse merger,

1070
00:52:33,783 --> 00:52:36,718
which is one way for
a private company to go public,

1071
00:52:36,786 --> 00:52:39,687
to form something called
Uranium One.

1072
00:52:39,756 --> 00:52:42,589
It's a company traded on
the stock market in Canada.

1073
00:52:42,659 --> 00:52:45,526
And they start acquiring
uranium concessions

1074
00:52:45,595 --> 00:52:49,759
in places like Wyoming, Texas,
New Mexico, and Utah.

1075
00:52:49,833 --> 00:52:52,802
And by 2009, they have
what is expected to be

1076
00:52:52,869 --> 00:52:56,930
50% of future uranium production
in the United States.

1077
00:52:57,007 --> 00:53:00,204
This gets the interest of Vladimir
Putin and the Russian government,

1078
00:53:00,277 --> 00:53:02,745
and in fact there are
State Department cables,

1079
00:53:02,812 --> 00:53:04,541
that were leaked
through Wikileaks,

1080
00:53:04,614 --> 00:53:06,673
which show that Hillary
was aware of the fact

1081
00:53:06,750 --> 00:53:09,719
that the Russians took
great care to try to dominate

1082
00:53:09,786 --> 00:53:12,516
the international
uranium market.

1083
00:53:12,589 --> 00:53:14,784
Well, the Russians
wanna buy this asset,

1084
00:53:14,858 --> 00:53:19,295
and they offer a 40% overprice
on the share of the stock,

1085
00:53:19,362 --> 00:53:20,954
and for this transaction
to go through,

1086
00:53:21,031 --> 00:53:23,966
it has to be approved
by the U.S. federal government.

1087
00:53:24,034 --> 00:53:26,264
Why? Because uranium
is regarded

1088
00:53:26,336 --> 00:53:29,703
as a critical industry
in the United States.

1089
00:53:29,773 --> 00:53:33,539
After all, this is used for
our civilian nuclear reactors,

1090
00:53:33,610 --> 00:53:35,601
and goes into nuclear weapons.

1091
00:53:35,679 --> 00:53:37,271
So, it goes before
the federal government,

1092
00:53:37,347 --> 00:53:41,477
where it needs to be signed off
by a series of federal agencies,

1093
00:53:41,551 --> 00:53:44,748
including the Secretary
of State, Hillary Clinton.

1094
00:53:44,821 --> 00:53:46,846
As Hillary Clinton
is contemplating this,

1095
00:53:46,923 --> 00:53:50,518
shareholders in uranium one,
including Frank Giustra,

1096
00:53:50,594 --> 00:53:54,928
have sent more than $145 million
to the Clinton Foundation.

1097
00:53:54,998 --> 00:53:57,398
The chairman of that company
at the precise time

1098
00:53:57,467 --> 00:53:58,934
is a guy named Ian Telfer,

1099
00:53:59,002 --> 00:54:02,403
who is also making donations
to the Clinton Foundation.

1100
00:54:02,472 --> 00:54:04,997
As is Frank Holmes,
who was another major

1101
00:54:05,075 --> 00:54:06,633
Uranium One shareholder.

1102
00:54:06,710 --> 00:54:09,543
And Hillary Clinton, who
has a record of opposing

1103
00:54:09,613 --> 00:54:11,444
precisely these kinds of deals,

1104
00:54:11,514 --> 00:54:13,414
comes out and says,
you know what?

1105
00:54:13,483 --> 00:54:14,745
I think this is a good deal.

1106
00:54:14,818 --> 00:54:17,412
Let's let Vladimir Putin
take control

1107
00:54:17,487 --> 00:54:20,979
of what is now 20% of
U.S. uranium production.

1108
00:54:24,561 --> 00:54:26,222
Bill Clinton
and Hillary Clinton

1109
00:54:26,296 --> 00:54:29,026
are the only figures
in American politics

1110
00:54:29,099 --> 00:54:30,589
who are willing
to do this deal,

1111
00:54:30,667 --> 00:54:32,498
and who could
actually pull it off,

1112
00:54:32,569 --> 00:54:35,333
because they had a reputation
that runs so contrary

1113
00:54:35,405 --> 00:54:36,838
to what they're doing.

1114
00:54:36,906 --> 00:54:39,568
I mean, this is what the
Clinton Foundation does, right?

1115
00:54:39,643 --> 00:54:41,440
This is what they
talk about politically,

1116
00:54:41,511 --> 00:54:42,876
their support for human rights,

1117
00:54:42,946 --> 00:54:44,846
their concerns
about proliferation,

1118
00:54:44,914 --> 00:54:48,179
their concerns about issues
related to Russian aggression.

1119
00:54:48,251 --> 00:54:50,776
There's doubt that when Putin
came back in and said

1120
00:54:50,854 --> 00:54:52,583
he was going to
be president, uh,

1121
00:54:52,656 --> 00:54:54,817
that did change
the relationship.

1122
00:54:54,891 --> 00:54:57,155
We have to stand up
to his bullying and...

1123
00:54:57,227 --> 00:55:00,526
what's so interesting when
you consider this uranium deal

1124
00:55:00,597 --> 00:55:03,430
are the actions of a small
Canadian investment firm

1125
00:55:03,500 --> 00:55:04,990
called Salida Capital.

1126
00:55:05,068 --> 00:55:10,062
Salida Capital, in 2010,
as this deal was going down,

1127
00:55:10,140 --> 00:55:13,803
committed to give millions of
dollars to the Clinton Foundation

1128
00:55:13,877 --> 00:55:17,335
and they also sponsored a speech
by Bill Clinton in Canada.

1129
00:55:17,414 --> 00:55:19,780
Salida capital
is also the name of

1130
00:55:19,849 --> 00:55:22,750
a wholly owned
subsidiary of Rosatom.

1131
00:55:22,819 --> 00:55:23,808
Who is Rosatom?

1132
00:55:23,887 --> 00:55:26,253
Well, this is the government
agency in Russia

1133
00:55:26,323 --> 00:55:28,450
that controls their
nuclear arsenal,

1134
00:55:28,525 --> 00:55:30,891
that built nuclear reactors
in Iran,

1135
00:55:30,960 --> 00:55:33,793
and engages in
nuclear technology exchanges

1136
00:55:33,863 --> 00:55:36,525
with rogue countries
like North Korea.

1137
00:55:36,599 --> 00:55:39,363
What this means in essence
is that the Russian government,

1138
00:55:39,436 --> 00:55:42,030
specifically Rosatom,
was funneling money

1139
00:55:42,105 --> 00:55:45,768
through a subsidiary directly
to the Clinton Foundation.

1140
00:55:45,842 --> 00:55:47,742
But the payday
didn't end there.

1141
00:55:47,811 --> 00:55:50,075
4 months before Hillary
Clinton's State Department

1142
00:55:50,146 --> 00:55:53,411
would sign off on the Russian
purchase of Uranium One,

1143
00:55:53,483 --> 00:55:56,543
Bill Clinton got paid $500,000

1144
00:55:56,619 --> 00:55:59,645
to give a single speech
in Moscow.

1145
00:55:59,723 --> 00:56:02,954
He was being paid by a firm
called Renaissance Capital,

1146
00:56:03,026 --> 00:56:06,018
which has a long history
of association with

1147
00:56:06,096 --> 00:56:08,257
Russian intelligence services.

1148
00:56:08,331 --> 00:56:10,060
What makes this speech
stand out

1149
00:56:10,133 --> 00:56:13,000
is not only the timing
of when he's being paid,

1150
00:56:13,069 --> 00:56:15,128
but the amount that
he's being paid.

1151
00:56:15,205 --> 00:56:18,197
You see, the last time Bill
Clinton gave a speech in Russia

1152
00:56:18,274 --> 00:56:19,866
was 5 years earlier.

1153
00:56:19,943 --> 00:56:21,604
At that time, he was paid about

1154
00:56:21,678 --> 00:56:24,511
1/3 of what he was
being paid this time.

1155
00:56:28,451 --> 00:56:34,287
Why is Russian control of 20%
of U.S. uranium so troubling?

1156
00:56:34,357 --> 00:56:37,849
If you're in an era where
nuclear weapons are a reality,

1157
00:56:37,927 --> 00:56:40,395
where nuclear energy is
an important component

1158
00:56:40,463 --> 00:56:42,624
of energy production
in the United States,

1159
00:56:42,699 --> 00:56:44,690
and increasingly
around the world,

1160
00:56:44,768 --> 00:56:47,601
control of uranium
is absolutely crucial.

1161
00:56:47,670 --> 00:56:49,194
And unlike oil or natural gas

1162
00:56:49,272 --> 00:56:52,139
can be found so many places
around the world,

1163
00:56:52,208 --> 00:56:54,642
there are precious few places
where you can find

1164
00:56:54,711 --> 00:56:56,941
significant and large
amounts of uranium

1165
00:56:57,013 --> 00:56:59,072
that you can produce
on a commercial scale.

1166
00:57:00,617 --> 00:57:02,448
What we've essentially done
is handed this

1167
00:57:02,519 --> 00:57:04,453
precious resource
to Vladimir Putin

1168
00:57:04,521 --> 00:57:06,148
and the Russian government.

1169
00:57:06,222 --> 00:57:08,019
They're not only
engaged in aggression

1170
00:57:08,091 --> 00:57:09,524
in places like Ukraine,

1171
00:57:09,592 --> 00:57:10,991
but they've been very
aggressive in fighting

1172
00:57:11,060 --> 00:57:13,153
American interests
around the globe.

1173
00:57:13,229 --> 00:57:15,891
Russia's not an ally.
Russia's not a friend.

1174
00:57:15,965 --> 00:57:19,196
Vladimir Putin's Russia is
a rival of the United States,

1175
00:57:19,269 --> 00:57:22,568
and yet we've given them control
over this precious resource.

1176
00:57:33,082 --> 00:57:35,550
This is what's
gonna power America.

1177
00:57:35,618 --> 00:57:37,313
I think a lot of people
in middle America

1178
00:57:37,387 --> 00:57:40,322
would be surprised to know
that the Russian government

1179
00:57:40,390 --> 00:57:45,487
is doing business in places like
Colorado or Wyoming or Utah.

1180
00:57:45,562 --> 00:57:47,029
These are small mining towns.

1181
00:57:47,096 --> 00:57:50,657
These are operations that
have existed for a while,

1182
00:57:50,733 --> 00:57:52,963
that have been under the control
of American companies,

1183
00:57:53,036 --> 00:57:54,731
or for a while
Canadian companies,

1184
00:57:54,804 --> 00:57:57,671
but it's now Russian companies
that control this,

1185
00:57:57,740 --> 00:57:59,173
and those companies
are controlled

1186
00:57:59,242 --> 00:58:00,539
by the Russian government.

1187
00:58:02,779 --> 00:58:06,613
Having read through
the archives of the KGB,

1188
00:58:06,683 --> 00:58:08,150
the files that
have been released,

1189
00:58:08,218 --> 00:58:11,187
i can tell you that they
look at the United States

1190
00:58:11,254 --> 00:58:13,188
as weak and ineffectual.

1191
00:58:13,256 --> 00:58:14,814
This is a thuggish government

1192
00:58:14,891 --> 00:58:18,554
that is engaged in massive
human rights violations.

1193
00:58:18,628 --> 00:58:19,890
There are opponents
of this regime

1194
00:58:19,963 --> 00:58:21,794
that have been killed
or have disappeared.

1195
00:58:21,865 --> 00:58:25,028
There's been persecution of
human rights organization.

1196
00:58:25,101 --> 00:58:27,194
There's been persecution
of homosexuals.

1197
00:58:27,270 --> 00:58:30,967
And it's shocking and stunning
to me that there has not been

1198
00:58:31,040 --> 00:58:33,440
more attention focused
to this fact,

1199
00:58:33,510 --> 00:58:35,341
that we have given
this critical resource

1200
00:58:35,411 --> 00:58:38,938
to somebody who is engaged
in so much nefarious behavior.

1201
00:58:42,418 --> 00:58:45,046
Greetings from Washington.

1202
00:58:45,121 --> 00:58:48,613
I want to thank all of you for
your work to root out corruption

1203
00:58:48,691 --> 00:58:50,886
that weakens
economic development,

1204
00:58:50,960 --> 00:58:53,520
feeds black markets
and organized crime,

1205
00:58:53,596 --> 00:58:56,156
and undermines the promise
of democracy.

1206
00:58:56,232 --> 00:58:59,963
As we work together to eradicate
corruption in our own country,

1207
00:59:00,036 --> 00:59:02,527
we should also maintain
the highest standards of

1208
00:59:02,605 --> 00:59:04,573
transparency and accountability

1209
00:59:04,641 --> 00:59:07,439
in our development efforts
around the world.

1210
00:59:07,510 --> 00:59:10,411
Corruption in emerging markets
and fragile democracies

1211
00:59:10,480 --> 00:59:14,143
undermines the confidence of
citizens and investors alike,

1212
00:59:14,217 --> 00:59:16,515
while responsible governance
helps to foster

1213
00:59:16,586 --> 00:59:19,953
sustainable economic development
and political stability.

1214
00:59:21,891 --> 00:59:24,860
I believe in the oldest
adage in American politics,

1215
00:59:24,928 --> 00:59:27,294
which is follow the money.

1216
00:59:27,363 --> 00:59:30,059
Enormous amounts of money
have flowed to the Clintons,

1217
00:59:30,133 --> 00:59:32,624
from foreign governments,
foreign financiers,

1218
00:59:32,702 --> 00:59:33,999
and businesses.

1219
00:59:34,070 --> 00:59:36,061
Some of that money
lands in their pocket,

1220
00:59:36,139 --> 00:59:38,266
some of it lands
in their foundation.

1221
00:59:38,341 --> 00:59:40,969
It's a pattern we've seen
repeated over and over

1222
00:59:41,044 --> 00:59:43,478
and over again
all around the world.

1223
00:59:43,546 --> 00:59:44,877
It's not a coincidence.

1224
00:59:44,948 --> 00:59:47,610
Money exchanges hands
and favors are done.

1225
00:59:47,684 --> 00:59:48,912
Now, Clinton
friends and supporters

1226
00:59:48,985 --> 00:59:51,078
will say there's
no smoking gun.

1227
00:59:51,154 --> 00:59:53,145
But look at American
political history.

1228
00:59:53,222 --> 00:59:56,680
People are convicted all the
time for a pattern of behavior,

1229
00:59:56,759 --> 00:59:58,090
where, for example,
they're engaged in

1230
00:59:58,161 --> 01:00:00,391
insider trading
on the stock market.

1231
01:00:00,463 --> 01:00:03,660
So, for example, you have
a foreign corporation

1232
01:00:03,733 --> 01:00:06,065
or a foreign government
that wants something

1233
01:00:06,135 --> 01:00:08,262
from the State Department
while Hillary Clinton

1234
01:00:08,338 --> 01:00:09,828
is Secretary of State.

1235
01:00:09,906 --> 01:00:13,171
They will make a large payment
to the Clinton Foundation.

1236
01:00:13,242 --> 01:00:14,573
That will be followed by

1237
01:00:14,644 --> 01:00:17,112
favorable action
on their behalf.

1238
01:00:17,180 --> 01:00:19,580
If that happens one or
two times, you might say,

1239
01:00:19,649 --> 01:00:21,742
look, it's just a coincidence.

1240
01:00:21,818 --> 01:00:24,378
But when you see
the pattern recreated

1241
01:00:24,454 --> 01:00:27,321
over and over and over again,

1242
01:00:27,390 --> 01:00:30,882
you have to recognize that
these events are connected.

1243
01:00:30,960 --> 01:00:34,123
They've created a model
for massive self-enrichment,

1244
01:00:34,197 --> 01:00:38,258
that allows you to go into
so-called public service,

1245
01:00:38,334 --> 01:00:41,428
but get extremely rich
at the same time.

1246
01:00:41,504 --> 01:00:43,870
And when friends and allies
say that the Clintons

1247
01:00:43,940 --> 01:00:45,771
aren't really
that interested in money,

1248
01:00:45,842 --> 01:00:48,140
their actions show otherwise.

1249
01:00:48,211 --> 01:00:50,145
What's so shocking
to a lot of people

1250
01:00:50,213 --> 01:00:53,148
is that making of that money
requires them

1251
01:00:53,216 --> 01:00:56,208
to betray their
progressive values.

1252
01:00:56,285 --> 01:01:00,949
The environment, labor unions,
women's rights, human rights.

1253
01:01:01,024 --> 01:01:04,221
The Clintons are doing business
and growing rich,

1254
01:01:04,293 --> 01:01:06,989
with the favor of
the very individuals

1255
01:01:07,063 --> 01:01:10,555
who you would expect to be
their political opposites.

1256
01:01:10,633 --> 01:01:12,760
For a very long time
in American history

1257
01:01:12,835 --> 01:01:14,302
and probably still to this day,

1258
01:01:14,370 --> 01:01:15,803
one of the worst things
that could be said

1259
01:01:15,872 --> 01:01:18,170
about you as a politician
is that you are

1260
01:01:18,241 --> 01:01:20,334
on the take from
foreign interests.

1261
01:01:20,410 --> 01:01:21,809
What the Clintons
have essentially done

1262
01:01:21,878 --> 01:01:23,812
is busted down the door

1263
01:01:23,880 --> 01:01:26,314
and robbed the bank
of that concept.

1264
01:01:26,382 --> 01:01:28,714
So, when people think of the
Clintons taking foreign money,

1265
01:01:28,785 --> 01:01:32,084
they think it's maybe an insurance
company from great Britain,

1266
01:01:32,155 --> 01:01:35,124
or they think it's from
a supermarket chain in Canada.

1267
01:01:35,191 --> 01:01:37,182
The fact of the matter
is a lot of that money

1268
01:01:37,260 --> 01:01:40,718
comes from the darkest,
worst corners of the world.

1269
01:01:40,797 --> 01:01:42,890
Are countries like
Nigeria and Russia

1270
01:01:42,965 --> 01:01:45,160
in the habit of giving money
to politicians

1271
01:01:45,234 --> 01:01:47,225
and not wanting something back?

1272
01:01:47,303 --> 01:01:49,362
The Clintons are glad
to take this money.

1273
01:01:49,439 --> 01:01:51,407
It's made them
fabulously wealthy.

1274
01:01:51,474 --> 01:01:53,601
But what has it done for us?

1275
01:01:53,676 --> 01:01:54,870
Before we had to worry about

1276
01:01:54,944 --> 01:01:56,673
money from Wall Street
and big labor,

1277
01:01:56,746 --> 01:01:59,408
now we have to worry about it
coming from around the world

1278
01:01:59,482 --> 01:02:02,974
and infecting our politics,
and damaging our politics.

1279
01:02:03,052 --> 01:02:05,043
Everything from
our uranium policy

1280
01:02:05,121 --> 01:02:06,816
to our human rights policy.

1281
01:02:06,889 --> 01:02:09,119
Nothing seems to be
safe anymore.

1282
01:02:09,192 --> 01:02:11,717
This is a corruption.
This is a crime.

1283
01:02:11,794 --> 01:02:14,058
With the Clintons,
nothing is sacred.

1284
01:02:14,130 --> 01:02:15,722
Everything is for sale.

1285
01:02:15,798 --> 01:02:18,961
But we are the ones
who are paying the price.

1286
01:02:19,035 --> 01:02:21,526
Maybe, just maybe,
the American people

1287
01:02:21,604 --> 01:02:23,333
are tired of being sold out.
