clinton: i do. first of all we adopted the electoral college when we were 13 states and we had a couple of really big states and some really small states that had distinct differences but it also helped to load up the electoral votes of the southern states that had slaves. and now we know that the effect of the college is to give 36 extra votes to the most culturally conservative and farthest right american states. i have no objection of them voting. i want them all to vote. i would never try to make it harder to vote, i would make it easier. i want the votes counted and i want them all to count but i do not think you can justify that today. now, if you did it, the first question you've got to ask yourself is would we have a three party or four party national election? if so, will we have to have a runoff? should you require a president to have, i don't know, 40% of the vote, 45%? abraham lincoln got elected with 39%. in a lot of countries have this, by the way. you have to get a majority or somethi

clinton's are sending it to ukraine. if you think the clinton's are the on the profiteers you're wrong. >> we are pleased to extend a former welcome to penny pritzker who was named as special representative for ukraine economic recovery. >> how is pritzker qualified to rebuild? she's a billionaire heiress of the family who founded highlight hotels and in return named commerce secretary where she happened to travel to ukraine three tiles hand delivering the billion dollar loans that biden ledged to get the prosecutor fired. guess who she brought with you to ukraine? highlight hotel executives, the duponts. this gravy chain doesn't stop there. head of the teachers's union randy weingartener has taken a keen minute the war zone. >> in the last year i've been in ukraine three times. i and several of my officers sand what we have attempted to do is to supported children's education and democratic principles because at the end of the day, if we do not do that in ukraine, what happens to the rest of the world? >> your children'

clinton: yeah. sec.ellen: if you don't mind, i would like to maybe turn our discussion toward foreign policy. sec. clinton: shirt. sec. yellen: -- sure . sec. yellen: one of the things the biden administration has been focused on, of course, is russia's brutal war against ukraine. treasury has been involved in imposing a set of sanctions. we have export controls that are in place. we devised a sort of innovative price cap that is intended to deprive russia of a significant share of the revenue it normally gets from selling oil in global markets, while keeping the oil flowing, so that we hold down global prices. it was remarkable, the courage, the bravery of the people, how much they obviously love their country, how much they are suffering and are willing to bear. we have yet to start military involvement, but we know that more needs to be done, and as the former secretary of state, i'm very curious to hear your perspective on u.s. support for ukraine on the war. and i would very much like to hear about

clinton. mrs. clinton was clearly a first lady with many different public roles. one of which was to use her platform to push for equal rights for women. let's hear from of her. >> there is one message that echos e from this conference, let it be that human rights are women's rights, and women's rights are human rights, once and for all. and among those rights, are the rights to speak freely and the right to be heard. women must enjoy the rights to participate fully in the social and political lives ofes their countries if we want freedom and democracy. to thrive d and en sure. endure. whoish with to participate in this p conference have not been able to attend or have been prohibited from pulling taking part. let mee be clear. freedom means the right of people to assemble, organize and debate open 3. to respect those who may disagree with the views of the government it means not taking citizens away from their loved ones and jailing them, mistreating them or denying them their freedom or dignity because of their peaceful expression of their ideas and opinions. >>

david: secretary clinton, are you worried about an invasion of taiwan? hillary: when xi saw that putin's invasion did not work as fast and smoothly as he thought it would, and that the world united, with a few exceptions, to impose sanctions that are not -- are taking a toll on the russian economy, not as fast as i would like because i could change the power dynamic, but xi saw that. i think that before the russian invasion there is a good chance you would have moved on taiwan within two to three years. i think that timetable has been pushed back. david: since you've left washington, there's been an increase in divisiveness. i'm sure you have noticed. [laughter] what do you think accounts for this? it's worse than it was when you were there and it was not great then, but now, democrats and republicans don't want to talk to each other let alone think about bipartisan legislation. what do you think causes this? do you see any solution in the near term? hillary: if i say it -- bill: if i say it you will think i'm being a partisan democrat. it's because repu

jordan, reference the clinton plan intelligence. exactly what was the clinton plan? >> based on declassified documents, in the public, record there was intelligence information that was received, adversely the same time that the information came from the australians. within a day or two. that intelligence, included information that there was a purported plan, designed by one of mrs. clinton's former policy advisers, to create less candle tying donald trump to the russians. that is the essence of the intelligence, as contained in the de-classified information. >> did the president receive this intelligence? >> on august 3rd, of 2016, then director prime and had briefed the president, vice presidents director of national intelligence, the fbi attorney general and others. >> when you say at the, you made mr. comey? >> on august 3rd it was conducted at the white house, the director comey himself. >> so mr. comey knew about this, president obama knew about this, vice president biden knew about this. but it was not provided to the agents on the case, or provided with the s

i had a teaching colleague in the audience in beijing when hillary clinton gave the speech. the location of that speech -- the day of the speech, the news media couldn't cover it. they shunted away from packing those locations, my point, because of my work on betty ford, betty ford says some the things her husband could never have said. a good example. they are spot on, i would welcome a panel, the press coverage. >> can i ask who decided to move hillary's location in beijing? >> according to my colleague, it was an official decision buys some level of bureaucrats. this colleague of mine said there was absolutely no mention of mrs. clinton's speech in the next days in china. so it was official. >> we reached the 530 point. we will let you out in an hour. this will be on our youtube channel. type in first ladies associations, research, it is easier to find this by going to our website, flare-net.org. in the lower right-hand corner we have a youtube icon. it will take you and our programs on their. we could find a lot about what we are doing, there's a lot of educational mater

cover up clinton's crimes. we know this to be a fact. 33,000 emails miraculously disappeared. phones were smashed with hammers by the fbi. even cnn fact checked this and it turned out to be true. yes, cnn. they refused to prosecute. this selective prosecution isn't only favor of the contents we have seen in very recent history -- all of a sudden -- hunter biden will likely serve no jail time, and yet there was no early morning spot right on hunter's home in coordination with the media either. the american people are second out of this tiered justice system, and as a black man i am tired of seeing this kind discretion used to favor people like hunter biden because he is white and the son of a president. while hunter biden will serve no jail time for these charges, blackmon across this country are in prison for years for the exact same crimes. and i am not surprised. i guess justice shouldn't come as a surprise -- -- joe biden was one of the officers of the 94 crime bill. one of my all-time favorites. we could se

so, president clinton, let's talk about current affairs. what do you think is the likely outcome of ukraine? do you see any resolution in the near term and secretary clinton, your views as well? bill: i don't expect it to be resolved in the near term unless putin has a change of heart. or unless the united states and others walk away from ukraine and they cannot get enough arms and ammunition and in mission to -- ammunition to continue. they have been amazing, they have fought. they have not asked any americans to fight with them. but i think they have a chance to win, i think they will win if we stay with them. david: is there any face-saving way out of this that you can think of or what is your view on how this might resolve? hillary: first, i think it is imperative that we continue and increase our support for ukraine because as bill said, the russians are back to indiscriminate bombing in cities aiming at apartment buildings, hospitals, other civilian sites. they have committed war crimes, they are in the midst of committing genocide, p

before that, she was going to talk about clinton's harassment.sh spy, garrett williams, who hacked into the server where bill's personal information was stored clinton, found on august 23, 2010 in london. his body was found in a red sports bag. investigators concluded that this was a case scout. secretly died during an erotic experiment. in 2016 , john william ashe, former chairman of the un general assembly, accidentally dropped a barbell on his neck. he was supposed to testify about illegal financing of hillary clinton's election campaign. journalist victor thorne, the author of exposé books about the connections, was later found shot dead. clintons with drug trafficking arms, verdict investigators commit suicide again, and so on. to date, 47 people from the clinton clan have died of unnatural causes. but something else seems important to me here: one of the latest victims is billionaire jeffrey epstein, who was accused of trafficking... in underage girls for high-ranking persons. he was arrested on july 6, 2019, on charges of trafficking in mi

chelsea clinton. c. clinton: dr. clinton: good evening, everyone. didn't know the hue to the blue to match awkwardly and meticulously. i'm incredibly grateful for our next conversation because we're coming together at a moment where there is both an enormous reason for optimism about the fight for h.i.v. and aids and also deeply concerning and less than encouraging news in the ongoing effort to end aids. the good news stems from a recent report from u.n. aids that we can in new h.i.v. infections and the public health emergency that has been aids for more than three decades if we stay the course through 2030. this is only possible as a promise because of the extraordinary work of activists, of advocates, of scientists, of grassroots organizers, of doctors and nurses and midwives. many of you here in this room of course the many decades of h.i.v. and aids. it is particularly meaningful to us here at the clinton foundation to be on this precipice because the origin of the foundation really began in 2002 when my father and nelson mandela at the barcelon

hillary clinton continues to debate in absentia with vladimir putin and delight the white house audience. this time , the former us secretary of state decided to blame the russian leader for his efforts. clinton addressed the russian president by name and said that the joe biden administration is defending democracy in ukraine and the expansion of nato due to putin. according to the former us prime minister, all countries themselves want join nato and no one is forcing them to do so. need i remind you that the topic of nato expansion is one of hillary clinton’s favorites; a year ago, in an interview with the british newspaper financial times, she did her best to justify the country’s actions on reforms in valant as necessary and logical. clinton’s words did not remain ignored , russia’s reaction was not long in coming, so the press secretary of the russian president , dmitry peskov, said that attempts to turn everything on its head and replace the concept of clinton have been known for a long time. mistress clinton is known among us for her attempts to turn everything on its head and rep

need i remind you that the topic of nato expansion is one of hillary clinton's favorites. with the british newspaper financial times. she justified the country’s actions in every possible way and called the reforms in alliance necessary and logical. clinton’s words did not remain ignored, russia’s reaction was not long in coming, as russian president dmitry peskov said that clinton has been known for a long time by trying to turn everything upside down and replace concepts. mrs. clinton is known here for her attempts to turn everything on its head and replace the concept. as for the sequence of the president’s actions, we probably need to remind mrs. clinton, after all. waves of nato expansion and the approach of the alliance’s military infrastructure to our borders, then president putin’s insistent proposal to western countries to discuss this situation and sign a certain document, the draft of which , by the way, was prepared by the russian side, and the decisive refusal of western countries to do anything discuss, and here it is absolutely clear becomes the reason for t

clinton pressed biden to take third-party threats seriously and come up with way to compensate for ites face ace conundrum about white house concern according to people familiar with white house discussions. they want democrats to know they are aware of threat they face from third party and want to avoid stocking panic. biden himself is worried about it, one of the sources said and those concerns are reflecteds in polling. page 14 of the nbc poll, you see former president trump leading president biden 39% to 36% in a hypothetical general match up. look at this, when you factor in the third-party candidates, lisa, when you add five for libertarian, five for no labels, for the sake of argument, 14% to third party candidates. now pop up our fox news polling of the democratic headlining, they deny he's going to be on libertarian ticket. if he was, polling 17% against biden, that could be biden's achilles hill. >> lisa: jill stein helped cost democrats the election. wisconsin and pennsylvania, had votes gone to jill stein, hillary clinton would have been the president. i'm sure they are ha

just a couple days before then senator clinton would endorse. and with all remember how that campaign was at the end. it was very raw. so without that meeting, you wonder, would that door ever opened and become secretary of state or would he have froezen her out? but that meeting over a glass of water in the senator's living room, she was upstairs in her study. she said she wasn't listening in, but you have to wonder about that. but the reality was that meeting, and she endorsed senator clinton. but she knew senator obama a bit, but he was brand new to the senate basically. and they had only served a short time. but as she talked to reporters about it the next day, she said there were some nerve endings that needed to come together. at her core, she was a democratic party stall worth. so that was certainly a very important meeting. but in terms of what she did in the senate, she would later go on to challenge the obama administration forcefully on the cia on torture. so it was a nice meeting, but she was much more substantiatetive than just host

once republican husband planted that seed, they could litigate and relitigate clinton's trustability, again, on mccarthyism, over and over again in a campaign and a campaign that ultimately ended in her defeat. and now speaker mccarthy appeared to be running the same play against president biden just before the 2020 election. remember there's already been a republican committee in the house investigating president biden for months. earlier this year that committee released a report that confirmed much like the clinton investigation that there was no evidence of wrongdoing by president biden. but again the facts do not seem to be the point here. the point is to create months of conservative tv coverage that makes biden seem like he is in just as much legal hot water as former president trump. it is to make joe biden untrustable before the 2024 election with the hope that the race ends the way that it did for hillary clinton. this is what they got. if you can believe it, this is the plan. but given what donald trump is facing himself in the lead up to the 2024 election, four criminal tr

vladimirovich, regarding citizen clinton, i can’t help but react.re than 50% of americans who don’t see her point-blank, citizen clinton, i think everyone here understands, no one has done more for the united states than citizen clinton to ensure that the united states is now suffering from the disease that they are suffering from, no one more. out of all the politicians of the last 50 years, he has not contributed to the society of the united states, no one has injected more muck into the political system, so long live as long as you can, and may she go to the polls many, many more times, happiness and health to her, that’s one thing, second, now in a serious way, you see, we are now faced with all this, now with the intersection of two very important factors. the first factor is that the west was shown scholz, they showed other western politicians who openly appeal to violence, openly crusophobia and so on, but behind this, unfortunately, there are... very deep economic and social problems, i remember in 2006, a book by emmanu toda, a very famous,

everybody thought hillary clinton was unbeatable, right? but we put together a benghazi special committee, a select committee. what are her numbers today? her numbers are dropping, why? because she isn't trustable, but no one would had known that any of that had happened, if we had not thought that -- >> i give you credit -- i give you credit where credit is due. >> i'll give you credit where credit is due, you've got her, kev, you've got her. if you don't remember the benghazi hearings, and then i am very jealous. the republican-led investigation lasted more than two years. it was longer than the investigations into watergate and 9/11, the jfk assassination, and pearl harbor. it was longer than all of those. it cost taxpayers millions of dollars, and a primary focus of all of that was hillary clinton. smack dab in the middle of her presidential campaign. a campaign that speaker mccarthy admitted people thought was unbeatable. when the benghazi hearings concluded, the final reports found no evidence of wrongdoing by the former secretary of

so we have bill clinton and his connections with barack obama and joe biden., which we discussed here and nancy pelosi, and that’s it. this goes to the village of alisandra, my rubaltimore and nancy's father, pelosip. do you know what else is different about the pelosi family today, and they, apparently, wanting emphasize your uh, privileged position in american society. they even name their children after the president. here's one of the uh, brothers. e. nancy pelosia, and bears the proud name of theodore franklin roosevelt and it is curious that he was noticed in a very piquant situation. let's see in the summer of 1953, the 20-year-old son of the mayor was named sandro franklin roosevelt dalesandro. he was one of fourteen young men accused of seducing and raping two girls aged 11 and 13. franklin was reported to be the only one. who managed to achieve the excuses are interesting, but the case evaporated, as always. but in general, if you look at nancy herself, how would you characterize her by her behavior and her facial expressions, that is, trump, for exa
