then there are questions of them taking millions of dollars from saudi arabia from the sultan of bruneiies that have abysmal human rights records. so i think it questions the sincerity of whether or not she would be a champion for women's rights when she accepts money from a country like brunei that stones to death people for adultery and realize that this is men accusing women of adultery not women accusing men because the men have the only say in the legal system in brunei. so it does really make it difficult for her message to appear sincere when she's taken money from these foreign countries. >> you say that you don't get to decide but you do get to choose where you criticize her and where you don't. how far back do you think is fair game? >> i think that her public policy and public life will be fair game. >> some of your critics on the republican side -- >> i don't have any critics, do i? >> i know. shocking. you do have critics on both sides, as you know. but some of your republican critics argue that you are actually to the left of hillary clinton on foreign policy that she's mo

if you go to oman, kaqatar, and brunei there is no marital rape.ain the truth of the life of women in saudi arabia for free of reprisal? >> it has to be that way because anybody who speaks the truth will end up in jail and be flogged. she talked about wanting to work, wanting to drive, getting those incremental changes. the only thing that will change this culture run by men -- the islamic organization cooperation is societies of men where women don't have rights. they don't want to see these revolutions of women of modernity to happen. if she's being interviewed from saudi arabia she'll try to push that line and blame the west. >> liberal women are more concerned and rarely speak about this but who is going to pay for birth control $9 a month, or mitt romney has resumes of women in binders and they are utterly silent here. >>> up next -- >> taxes are how we all do our part but that's part of the problem. not everyone does seem to be paying their dues. >> liberals like to lecture their audience but we have stunning new reports. several anchors are

oman and qatar, algeria, brunei. they all gave to hillary clinton's donations. what's your reaction to that kiersten? >> obviously, i find that abhorrent. i have been very critical of a lot of these countries. but at the same time you have to remember these are countries that saudi arabia is a u.s. allie. so if you are going to say the clinton foundation shouldn't have any relationship with them. neither should the united states. >> she wants to be -- there is a difference she wants to be the champion of womens rights. i can't find any public comments where she has been critical of the oppression of women in these specific countries. so she's selling out her principals for the dollar. that's what it appears to me. >> i think if she was enriching herself, that would be true. if they were taking money to do good works around the world. i think that we should be critical of these regimes. i also think the united states should be critical. i don't remember doing anything of these segments when george bush was president. he has a personal relationship with the saudis

china's hainan province, the archipelago is claimed by vietnam, the philippines taiwan, malaysia and brunein recent satellite images, it is china that appears to have built up one of the islands, known as the "fiery cross reef" constructing an air strip there. the island is reportedly large enough for a 9,500-foot runway which could accomodate military aircraft. today in beijing, a chinese foreign ministry spokesman defended the project. >> ( translated ): the relevant construction is conducted within china's sovereign territory, it is reasonable, understandable and legal, and it is not targeting or affecting any other country. we hope relevant countries and relevant sides can put it into perspective. >> woodruff: the u.s. has weighed in on the dispute. the commander of american forces in the pacific spoke at a congressional hearing wednesday. >> the implications are, if this activity continues at pace, is that it... it would give them de facto control, i think, in peacetime, of the... much of the world's most important waterways. >> woodruff: the u.s. has expressed concerns about china's l

we're going to be engaged with the country of brunei who flags and stones women, gays is that the humanghts we want to promote through trade agreements no no ? no. >> does hillary clinton's silence on tpp trouble you? >> i think so. she has to speak out. unlike other policy issues that depend on the congress like reducing student debt the president, the executive branch initiates the trade issues. they initiate and negotiate in secret deals like ttp. the ciliary in termsritical action we would say to candidate clinltton, where do you stand? it's easy enough to say i see countries come out against it from beauolivia and brazile. it's a 20th century version. i think that's important. the rest can be rhetoric about what i want congress to do that they'll never do. this is what the executive branch does. she needs to say no fast track, no investor state. >> all right. >> been a lot of activism on capitol hill. let's see if it has an effect. congresswoman rosa. appreciate the conversation. >>> snuff out smoking with the set of new laws. we'll have the details ahead and chris christie thinks

if you go to oman and qatar and algeria, brunei their women, marital rape is not considered a crime ins. we have an issue of real war on women. my question is as you watch miss al sharif do you feel she was unwilling to explain the truth of life for women in saudi arabia for fear of reprisal? >> it has to be that way. because bottom line is sean anyone who speaks the truth in saudi arabia will end up in jail and be flogged ultimately. that's what happened. she had to march that line where she talked about wanting to work talked about wanting to drive. getting those incremental changes. that's why you have revolutions. the only thing that will change this my soj nis tick mafia run by men, of the organizations, not only saudi arabia the organization of islamic cooperation, 56 countries of misogynistic run, where women don't have rights that are equal, and can't be refornld into the modern age because they don't want to see these revolutions of women happen. that's why we have to give them economic independence and we have to work in the grass roots to allow this reform to happen. unfortu

and frank bruney had a takedown which included the word marsupial.t about the press is really interesting to me and your point about one in three millennials being fresh to this, i wonder if you're fresh to hillary clinton and you hear her talking about everyday person as though they're other from her. >> i don't think >> i think she's saying they're other than the lobbyists. our politics is dominated by business and the affluent and she has to say that i actually want to move through and be working for the people who put me in office as an elected representative. and i think the american people understand who is a constituent in politics and it's not them right now. >> a lot of people in the press here hear a focus grouped poll tested phrase which a lot of stay away from middle class, because people in it feel insecure so let's talk about something else, figure out some way to avoid that phrase. and again, her toughest critics hear that and say there they are again, the calculated poll tested cynical clintons trying to not just speak with normal peo
