8:33 pm
a seat at the table. a $100.00 in their own bank account. the re election of bill clinton to a 2nd term was the end of the democrats being known as the workers party. and the beginning of the transition to the world parts. government should do more. not less the, the pre eminent mission of our new government is to give all americans on opportunity policies which were focused on being corporate friendly with the shade of social liberalism. taking the focus of the working class. suddenly, the democrat party had been the champion of since the industrial revolution. now, one of the largest pieces of legislation passed under present. brooklyn was the north american free trade agreement between the us, mexico and canada. and was greatly protested by labor unions. a president clinton also deregulated as well as pretty much eliminated the oversight of wall street. this is a move which of many experts actually believe led to the 2008 crash of the stock
8:34 pm
market. and the economic recession, which followed. now his wife failed 2018 presidential candidate. hillary clinton is currently producing a new broadway show, which focuses on the suffragette movement spec producer. and i will show up when she is not on broadway or in the media. continuing to question the results of the 2016 election or complaining about this one. can we? uh yeah. can we talk about the upcoming presidential? oh no. yeah. so we have to say to voters who are upset that those are the 2 choices to get over yourself. those are the 2 choices. one is old and affective and compassionate. has a heart and really cares about people. and one is old and has been charged with $91.00 felony. so she is working with her husband and one of the pretty much most known celebrity nonprofits the clinton global initiative, which a boast on its own website, more than 4000 projects and partnerships, affecting people in more than a 180 countries worldwide. now the latest country to roll out the welcome mat is
8:35 pm
ukraine, or c, g u crane action network was a launch last fall and a collaboration with ukrainian 1st lady obeying is zalinski. but maybe this was more of return the favor. as the clinton foundation was made, a 5 year commitment by ukrainian businessman and all the guard, victor pinching in 2008 a more than $29000000.00. it is complex to find the exact amount which has been raised or where it is all gone to from the clinton global initiative. but we do know the endowment. he's in the billions. what was the effect president clinton has had on domestic economy? it's a, one of my foreign leaders continue to open up their doors and their own economic policies to the clinton global initiative. so let's dive into and discuss what power is held by former president bill clinton with our panel rating on podcast, host, and director of the center for regulatory freedom at the c pack foundation. andrew langer and john jackson,
8:36 pm
who was the former chairman of the cab democratic party. thanks for joining me gentlemen. you're always start with you, john on this. so is the former president bill clinton, still a rock star within the democratic party today? like he was during his presidency? i think it depends on who you talk to. if you're talking to your older primary voters, we're going to vote democratic no matter what. absolutely not necessarily with younger progressive voters or some of the voters, or i'm certain about turning out and november that the democrats needed to turn out in order to when he's very much considered part of the old guard, stablish will of the party and some of as far as policies from his presidency aren't even popular with the democratic base today. that's interesting. you say this and so i've gotta run to you and draw on this. do you feel like a republican standpoint that having bill clinton out as actually helpful to basically those independents or even those more establishment? republicans, they're having a hard time voting for job that they liked to see what the old time was been.
8:37 pm
remember, a nicer time between republican democrats that existed under bill clinton. i'm not so sure that bill clinton is particularly persuasive to republicans, or never trump republicans, per se. i think bill clinton getting try it out is really about what john says. really about showing up the establishment, terry and base right to jump button as a real tough roto going into november. i'm not the donald trump doesn't, but uh, but in terms of making sure that he can appeal to both the very progressive wing and other folks in michigan and wisconsin or minnesota, who are concerned about uh, you know, jo biden's policies towards this real, all the same time assuaging the more moderate to more pragmatic of the segments of the democratic party of the old school, the establishment, terry, against the corporatist. so i think you laid out really well how, how are the, you know, the clinton gore era ushered in the new democratic era. so i think it's less about
8:38 pm
going after the soccer. busy the never trump republicans really about making sure that they show up the widest cross section of the democratic, basically in the november. well, and in this case you actually have a power couple probably was one of the more modern day power couples, cuz you had hillary clinton also involved. john, do you think hillary clinton's last actually affected both of their standings within the democratic party? i think so. i think hillary is, is good for raising money. she's good for making sure that your democratic supervisors get involved with the election, but she's not going to bring any new boats to the table to. we're ready when you new to the coalition of our well joe biden. and that, and how did you see that andrew? because hillary herself, is that just a reminiscent for trump? does that kind of like easy game for him since he's already well practiced in going after her? i think it's interesting because, you know, you think about of hillary, clint really is an aberration when it comes to democratic nominees for president.
8:39 pm
right. i mean, you know, yeah, she was senator from new york and she was secretary of state. we can talk a little bit about or 10 years secretary of state. but the reality is, you know, she represented the last sort of machine politician in terms of running for office . yeah. she had the benefits of, of being a woman and a lot of democratic women voters want to see that was the reality is that the clintons of 2024 are, are very much in the vein of doing what's best for the clintons. you know, whether and the clint machine and the interplay between the clinton foundation of the clinic, global initiative, and to nail holdings and whatever other business interest that both mr. and mrs. clinton happened to have. it's really about that and yes, you know, bill clinton wants to step in there and do the things that he does as a former president of the united states. and we'll, that our but it's power that's, we'll good, very carefully. and generally in ways the benefit of clinton inc, well, is interesting and so that ethics,
8:40 pm
i'm gonna stick with your on this question. if you're talking about the client global initiative, that sort of thing, and we'll get to the next segment. but i have to wonder, are there certain things, so that helps jo by with clinton being on the campaign. so are there certain groups, demographics, or even states, maybe southern states, cuz joe biden does not do well in the southern states at all. that clinton still has that appeal to listen. i don't know. i think that in terms of going after those base voters in those southern states and making sure they come out, i'm not sure. clinton quite has that cache. sure. he was governor of arkansas, but he he stopped being governor of arkansas in 1992. any. i don't think he spent a whole couple lot of time south of the baseball gods. obviously these south of washington dc. and all that time clinton is very, very much both clintons are very, very much new york politicians, northeastern politicians, california politicians, really the cache is making sure that they go after those establishment. terry and voters within the democratic based who are, who might otherwise be concerned about joe biden,
8:41 pm
leaning more towards the progressive left. so john, we've just recently seen all 3 democratic presidents. well, the current president a former presents altogether, do you feel like there might be any animosity right now between clinton in obama, considering how popular obama and his wife still are? and obviously beneficial divided being out? do you say that there's any animosity, the claims are kind of per se jealous of? i just think they're, they're upset right now. they feel like the bomb is to have done more to help hillary get elected in 2020. what's the inner party, the dynamic right there. i think there's always been some tension because um, obama pulled and upset on hillary and no way she was supposed to be that nominee and then um, she did not. she was not able to repeat obama success. she's never really, at the christmas that obama did that, and that's why obama's coalition was much larger and, and why obama was able to get re elected. so i think, yeah, there's always going to be a little bit of tension there. but you know,
8:42 pm
i think that probably, uh, or even privately, you're not really seeing much of that animosity, but we, we know it's, there was funny because publicly, unlike the democrats republicans are not, you're not quite as to donald trump campaign with former president andrew, why is that why is that, that republicans seem to not be able to accomplish, even if there's in a mazda 3 between them. they're not gonna appear on the same stage. why can republicans not put that aside for the greater good of the party, while democrats can as well for some, i mean, some of it is about grudge holding. and i, and, you know, you know, in terms of the democratic power structure, it's always been much, much more hierarchical. and by that, i mean, you know, they've been much better about getting people in my, in line. you know, machine politicians and machine politics generally comes out of democratic cities and democratic states. but then the reality is, i mean listen, the reality is you to both political parties and politicians. and both political
8:43 pm
parties have an incredible capacity to hold grudges. and i wasn't, i can't speak to what happens inside, you know, state and local democratic party apparatus is. i know that for instance, when i was a republican party official in maryland, i used to think that the republican party and marilyn was the most screwed up republican party and in all the nation, given the amount of grudges and backbiting and back stabbing that could occur until i realized that ever republican party in every state is the most screwed up dumb republican party in the nation. i, i don't know about that on the democrats side. i do not know they're better about getting people in line. republicans are not quite as good at that. well, i'm gonna keep you on here because there is a picture that circulating along it's about. it was actually a donald trump, and bologna is wedding. you have and you had bill and hillary, great conversation. they were good friends, even part of that point. do you think that actually helps or hurts donald trump to be that tied close to the claims? is that something that continuously they bring up that he was the democrats as well? i mean, and that's just, it was one of those things where i,
8:44 pm
when donald trump was running in 2016 and every democrat was a disclaiming any donation that they'd give it to him. i would have taken that much, much more seriously. had they given those donations back, right. they, they kept the money which, you know, that's, that's what, that's what politicians do now. i mean, i don't think any of the salt water they, they tried this way, way back when in in 2015, 2016. certainly it was tried in terms of denying trends as an i donald trump, the nomination in 2016. it didn't work then. i don't think it's i don't think it's gonna work 8 years down the road. well, it's interesting, jack, ender, i want to say right there. a historical fundraiser in new york city brought in more than $25000000.00 and featured for president brock obama bill clinton. do people really care about what bill clinton did one office? and if so, why is the claim global ownership still as active as ever? if it was so bad for going to discuss after the break, the
8:45 pm
ok. welcome back. i'm just going to hughes and you are watching the 360 view. i want to start the 2nd segment with the pro test, which abrupt it outside the campaign fundraiser in new york city. with the 3 top democrats, president, joe biden, brock obama, and bill clinton. however, while most of the large protest outside the radio city music hall as well as a few scattered inside the hall, were about the current role of the by the ministration and the cause a conflict. protesters also pointed out the long trail of blood,
8:46 pm
all 3 presidents had left around the world. let's discuss with radio podcast, host, and director of the a center for regulatory freedom at the c pack foundation. andrew langer and john jackson, who was the former chairman of the cab democratic party. thank you so much for staying with me through the break. john, i'm sorry to you because that bill clinton was easily re elected present because people were not as concerned or maybe didn't even know as much about the foreign policy, like the bombing of the medicine factor in sudan until several years later. was he more shelter? do you think from the public because we didn't have as much access to information with the internet like we do today? yeah, i think politics was a different game back then. you didn't have a sound bites access to the sound bites. social media that went viral. like you do today in i, big democrats were more viable in different states. back then when you think about some of the states that bill clinton one, i think that me was also
8:47 pm
a very popular president. and so i think that it was very different error politics that we are in right now with, with just the mass communication. you get a b as a world wide web well and or from a republicans or even from the right side of the aisles. perspective as they're watching what was going on outside of the optics that went on outside of radius. give me a call with all of the protesters, the ones that are going inside are republicans actually enjoying this protest. it's happening from within their party. something that happens often on their public inside. are they capitalizing on this for an election perspective? and are they basically using the conflict type in the middle east to continue to chip away at a job? i as popularity within zone party as well? you know, i think it comes down to, certainly this idea that republicans are, are much, much more unified on middle eastern foreign policy than perhaps they are on the central european foreign policy. but, but to get that back to your,
8:48 pm
to your question, to john, you know, there are couple things that were going on a john's right, that some of this has to do and you're reading some of this has to do with the, the, the, a transmission of information in the early stages of the internet, 1996. let's not forget that bob dole was an incredibly weak candidate. perceived is very angry. and then when it comes to foreign policy at the time, right. you know, we, we were still president dealing with this a mil. you wasn't work. that the politics for the united states ends at the water's edge. that sort of, we, we generally a, were agreed on as a nation to take as to what you know the us was doing foreign policy. why? so the idea of, you know, building democracy abroad, especially in light of the, the, you know, the ending of the cold war. and that really didn't change until after $911.00 the election of george w bush and the, and folks a pastor towards that. and then of course, the 2nd goal for which i think changed to a lot of people's perceptions as to how of foreign policy and use for policy can
8:49 pm
impact politics. so there was a lot going on then, and yes, we're certainly in a much different mold. yeah, i mean listen, uh well will the trump campaign capitalize on uh, defense uh, within the democratic ranks. sure, the question is whether or not that will really matter to the average democrats older, you know, and are you bringing up a really good point that when expand on, right, they're talking about how when you're looking at back, then it seems like foreign policy. we were a lot more unified. i think republicans and democrats were altogether, was like whatever conflicts we were on outside of our borders party. my party lines didn't matter. we were going to support the trip, whatever they were doing. john, do you think when did, when did that change? you think? do you think that's how we see it now? because now it's this good. this president goes into this for in conflict. this president got it, and that's sort of the chain that was connected between clinton, obama and biden, is all the 4 conflicts of the 3 of them were able to get us into. it's now become more of a political issue necessarily than a unification. almost patriotism issue i think it comes down to how popular the
8:50 pm
conflict is. i think um, you know, being um was just uniformly unpopular of both sides the out and i think and the air of george w bush. you have quite a few republicans who are the end of his administration work and support of all the countries we were in in there's you would say that you can say the trunk is need more part of the anti uh, intervention wing of the republican party. and he often classes with what you would call the bush neo conservatives. so i think it's going to come down to how popular the conflict is and, and how, what the general public feels about about it. and i think when it comes to the gaza, which the u. s. isn't directly involved in it is it is in directly involved. and i
8:51 pm
think that you've got folks on the list in the right who are pro palestinian and you've got folks on the left and the right who are pro israel. so sometimes it's not always simple to defy it across party lines. and i think trump's actually making a play for live leading motors because it's very critical benjamin netanyahu. he sometimes shows up the deed for the lives of palestinian people. i see him kind of making a plane for some less leading voters and it's and throwing is not really completely one side of the issue. well, it's interesting that you bring that, but i want to stay on this thing that you do bring up as real. and one thing that i personally see as being very damaging to the clinton brand, the quinn is everything has come out about geoffrey. i've seen now granted to slow trickle on that. i know republicans obviously bring up. i've seen a lot, john, how much is the i've seen files really resonate within the democratic party. do they care about potential damage to be debt again, can do to not only bill clinton, but any of their candidates that are over the age of 40. i don't think we've gotten
8:52 pm
the full story on eps the me. you know, they've dropped all these names, but we don't have any context of what happened. i'm not sure where we're going to find out contact some, what slowly happened with all the names that were dropped. so it seems like uh, anyone who might have been involved in something file is getting protected. oh that's, that's my opinion. so i'm not sure it's going to have an impact cuz i don't think we're getting all the information that about that. well, and that's the one thing. yeah. you hear republicans, andrew talk about, i've seen a lot, they obviously throughout bill clinton, every time they bring it throughout donald trump's name, is this something that needs to continue to be pursued politically from the fact of does this damage democrats when you're talking about epstein and bill clinton's involvement. listen, i've just to just to go back to the question you have for john. i think democrats only care about jeffrey epstein in so far as they can make the case of donald trump
8:53 pm
was on the you know, the teenage express or whatever we would, we would call it out to sex island so. so, you know, beyond that they don't particularly care. i think we're publishing motors are much, much more concerned in the end about what was actually going on with the vitamin white house of the bite and vice presidency. and what was going on with hunter button. and they would be much better served by sticking to that, right. listen, we do as a general principle need to get to the bottom of what was going on with jeffrey epstein. and the various leads that were traveling to his island. but in terms of the context of the politics of it, the republicans who remain focused on joe biden and the biden family, which, which incidentally, is like a mini version of clinton inc. right? i mean, i think the bite and family was aspiring to be as successful at the clinton's that you know, pairing policy and politics and money and making scads of money added. but bill clinton and hillary clinton and chelsea clinton,
8:54 pm
they are the master's and mistresses of all of this, which brings us to talking about the clayton foundation here. john, i've got to ask you, why does the claim file nation still exist? i mean, there has continued to be these controversies regarding projects, specifically like the one in haiti, the accusations of tax fraud, mysteries have donations down there. money not actually going to the people that they fundraiser to is this damage and why do countries still open their doors to the clinton's concern? if probably don't have much power, much connections in the white house as we've kind of discussed already. but they allow them to kind of have free reign of their country and raised donations that don't necessarily go to the street. i think while they don't maybe have bunch of power in government any more, they still have a lot of social capital. they can still make things happen for people because of they're connected to people all over the world. and you know, i think i think that the clinton foundation is, you know, a lot of positives that foundations or whatever and working the clintons are unique
8:55 pm
as they have used their foundations to get filthy rich and. and that's really what it is. a vehicle for the clintons to get rich and to, well, their power, you know, their, their big on the game of power and they still will do a lot of power in different circles. and i think that's really what the put in foundation is about at the end of the day. and i think the more liberal progressive votes of the and the democratic party aren't, aren't necessarily fans of. it was interesting that it seems like the more time in any of these scandals that happened. people kind of forget about our push to the size i go, well that happened 20 years ago. we have enough problems today. but andrew, there was a whistleblower hatch that came out and put him in a memo bill clinton mixers and matches his personal business with that of the foundation. many people within the foundation have actually tried to caution him about doing this. so you done listen, and there really is no talking to him is what this whistle blower came out and said,
8:56 pm
how much is this damage? and why is it congress actually looking into investigating the actions of the former president, even if they have nothing to do with current policy? why are they not looking into what is happening today with the foundation as well? they tried to do it and it didn't go anywhere. and you go back to when hillary clinton was secretary of state and the relationship between whom aberdeen we all, we all know and you know, her right hand and a guy named jacqueline kelly who is that her left hand as a special envoy in the state department. and the fact that at the time that whom aberdeen and deck when kelly were both working for hillary clinton, the state department, they were also working for an entity called to nail holdings, which was a for profit lobbying organization with major corporate clients of which bill clinton was the honorary chairman, and so you had the interplay between donors to the clinton foundation, who were also clients of 10, a holdings who were doing business with the state department. you have whom aberdeen and debt from kelly and others. and,
8:57 pm
and so this goes before congress and they have some investigations, but nothing really comes up. there's no accountability at the end. hillary clinton, losers, the 2016 presidential elections of congress figures. and what's it, why, why, why bother continuing this any further to me that was always, by the way, the greater scandal that needed to be investigated in terms of hillary clinton. it wasn't the server, it wasn't been jobs, even those were important. but it was again, it get a town with what joe biden was doing is vice president united states the self dealing to the benefit of one self and one's family by using their official positions. these are the things that we need to actually haven't investigated. the reason why they're not being investigated now is because hillary clinton hasn't been anywhere near and office bill clinton has been anywhere new york government office forever. and by the way, it's getting real quick because you asked about why folks are still supporting. it's because the clinton foundation can get huge sums of corporate money, whether it's clients of 10, a, or others, and donors to other foundations, like the rockefeller foundation, etc, etc,
8:58 pm
and connect those people with folks and power in those countries who make huge amounts of money. there's a reason why and, and i'm let me add they don't want to solve these problems because if you solve the problems in places like 80, then you can't, then you can't make money off of fundraising on them down the road. and that's where the money is. a, it's on the fundraising of the corporate interest and perpetuating the problem. so i'm going to give john the last word on this. john, what role do you think the claim should be playing within the democratic party? not only this election year, but any role moving forward. you know, he will never do this, but he should sort of step aside and raise money for the next generation of the democratic party. he can't speak for the democratic party anymore, because frankly, it, there's nothing been gained from it. people like bill clinton are ready going to get out and vote from joe biden. and so he needs to step aside, just continue to raise money, don't be a surrogate. you're not going to help bring new people to look or listen. just
8:59 pm
raise money for democratic victors. well, i am grateful to both of you for allowing me to capitalize on your knowledge of the clinton's and their influence on the current political race and designer radio podcast. host and director of the center for regulatory freedom at c pack foundation and john jackson, former chairman of the cab, democratic party. thank you so much for joining me. i'm scared on hughes, and this has been in your 360 do. thanks for watching the the balance of power in the middle east is in flux, israel no longer has it's found to determine supremacy what is called the access of resistance is challenging israel and importantly it's western patrons of the
