we'll start in haiti. january 12, 2010, haiti suffers a devastating 7.0 earthquake. more than 200,000 die and over 100,000 buildings and homes are destroyed. within four days u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton arrives to survey the damage. >> i want to assure the people of haiti that the united states is a friend, a partner, and a supporter. >> two days later former president clinton was on the ground. >> i hope that they'll be rebuilt in a more stronger and sustainable way. i think they want that. >> bill clinton was previously named u.n. special envoy for haiti. he and hillary had special ties for the country, even honeymooning there. the united states agency for international development would oversee america's relief effort. the government of haiti set up the ihrc, interim haiti recovery commission, to coordinate. two men were named co-chairs of the ihrc executive committee. the haitian prime minister joe max belaree and bill clinton himself. the idea was not just to fix things but improve them. in an interview with "esquire" president clinton had big plans,

to sell haiti?one we think of all the time because he was already involved in haiti. i believe in his role of the president of the commission he did well. >> but you said that you believe bill clinton did a good job. there sounds like there's a but -- >> there's a but, only one. but not all linked to him. perhaps where i think too much of bill clinton, so perhaps you are leaning too much in what he could bring. >> much good work has been done in haiti, no question. debris has been removed, houses have been built and roads have been repaired but to peter schweitzer, there are certain projects that need more scrutiny. projects the clintons got behind. you would expect there to be high standards of transparency high standards of accountable and ethical standards that would prevent you from giving contracts or concessions or benefits to people who are putting money in your pocket. >> for instance there's the story of digicel. almost anywhere you go you'll see signs of digicel, the top telecom company. t

it wasn't ast all clear the people of haiti would be the big winners in the national of haiti gold rush. >> there are a lot of money to be made in reconstruction contracts et cetera. peter switzer is the author of the new book clinton cash. where he investigates the snarl of money, politics and personal interest that has come to characterize the clinton's interactions. clinton cash is published by harper collins a sister company to fox news. >> shortly after earth cake took place u.s. ambassador in haiti sent a state department the title of which is the gold rush is on. it was about the fact that the businessmen and companies were showing up in haiti trying to seek lucrative contracts. >> it was the job of the ihrc to oversee this process and to ensure no one took advantage of the situation. but what if it was part of the problem? a number of members of the ihrc actually wrote a letter expressing their concern that they were not involved in the process that all of the decisions were made by clinton and belareve. they argued the national priorities of haiti were being totally disregarded

today we brought you haiti. here is david axelrod, former senior adviser to president obama, on all of this. >> no doubt that there is smoke around these contributions and the way the foundation raises money is going to continue to be an issue. but there is absolutely no evidence that even the stories that were written and secretary clinton made an extraordinarys fair to say that an accumulation of these stories is a burden for her campaign and there's no question about it. but i just caution everybody at this table as a voice from the midwest that people out there are not sitting there reading all the details of these stories. >> not reading the details. let's bring in our panel. jason riley, columnist with "the wall street journal," kirsten powers and charles krauthammer. jason, what are your thoughts? >> axelrod says there's no evidence. maybe there's no evidence because hillary erased them from her e-mails before she turned them over. this is going to continue and big picture, it could hurt hillary because s

in preparing for this show, we are seeing these huge numbers $13.5 billion to haiti howdies tushing is it that a lot of it can't be accounted for? >> and you mentioned this funded park, that is supposed to help haiti, we mentioned that to the community, we gave a human story. she was one who was evicted from her line to make way for this, and in fact, the numbers say about 366 to 400 families faced a similar fate. and responding to that, robert says that out to teem they have for getting in the way of freedom with their freedom, a lot of spark. we need all the parks we can get, a couple of peep get displaced ain't nothing new. more needs to go into education and job creation. imagine receiving only five days notice to leave your land before it is bulldozed. that is exactly what happened to the hundreds of families raj was just talking about after the 2010 haiti earthquake, the u.s. invested 170 million-dollars in the project. with hopes that it would create 65,000 jobs and reinvigorate the local economy. but critics are quick to point out that it is located in the country's northeast,

and also haiti. but also, once again, we have to see, did the government do something that it wouldn't have done am sent those contributions. and we don't know that yet. >> there's not like one or two things. by want to talk about your book. you're in iraq embedded with the soldiers during the bus administration. you're living with them for four months while they look 23r weapons of mass destruction. now, you end up going to jail at the end of this. >> right, i do. how does that happen? >> there was so much anger and fury over this charge that we had been lied into the war that a prosecutor brought a case that involved me. the prosecutor subpoenaed me and all of my noet books and wanted to talk to me about all of my sourszs. >> well, your sources, you don't have to day as a rulen your sources. >> oh, yes you do. >> it depends on whether you're in new york or covered by the feds. >> dpaktly. even though there are 49 states that have some variation of protection of reporters, we don't have a federal st

that hit your country. >> well, haiti was hit by a earthquake of major proportions. the country was completely in shock and one of the big challenges that we have had also is the coordination of -- we have had, you know, several thousand helping. we had several governments helping. but what is very important to remember and to focus on right now in nepal you have centralized leadership and response, for the government to be leading this effort and the government to play sort of a control tower effect and coordinate the aid coming in. it is challenging and i know many people want to respond and to do it immediately but it is very important that the government of the country is allowed to leave the coordination, the coordination effort. they have responded so far. i think they have -- it is very important for the international community to also support the country by promising aid and whatever they promise should be cleared, clear and transparent and also be very quickly because one of the things that happened in haiti is we were promised $9 billion, so we made all of

bill clinton goes to haiti and becomes co-chair of the haitian relief committee. in 2010 and 2011 digicel gets more than $2 million for a money transfer program in haiti. the company's owner, dennis o'brien, arranges four speeches for bill clinton for $825,000 and also contributes between 1 and $5 million, because that's the disclosure it's no more definite than that for the clinton foundation. peter, again, it doesn't look good but what proof do you have that bill clinton did this in return for the good auspices of this irish billionaire who got him all of these speeches? >> again, i was not subject to conversations they had and i didn't have access to internal e-mails. the analogy i would use is like insider trading. i wrote a book a couple years ago of members of congress engaging in cybertrading. when you talk to prosecutors, most people who engage in insider trading don't send an e-mail saying i've got inside information. buy this stock. the way they get prosecuted is by looking at a pattern of behavior. did someone with access to the information conduct a se

tell us what haiti's experience was after the earthquake that hit your country. laurent lamothe: the country was completely in shock and certainly one of the big challenges that we had also was the coordination of aid. we had several thousand helping we had several governments helping. one -- what is important to remember and focus on, you have leadership and response, for the government to lead this effort [inaudible] and coordinate the aid coming in. i know it is challenging and many people want to respond and want to do it immediately, but it is important that the government of the country is allowed to lead the coordination, the coordination effort. we have responded so far. it is important for the international community to support the country by promising the aid and whatever they promise should be continued and transparent and very [indiscernible] because one of the things that happened in haiti, we were promised $9 billion, but we made all the reconstruction and redevelopment plans taste on -- based on revenue that we would get from the conference and we'

that's haiti after the devastating earthquake in 2010. bill clinton goes to haiti and become co-chair of the group that starts projects and relief. a mobile phone company gets $2 million to set up a money transfer program in haiti. the company's owner, dennis o'brien, arranges four speeches for clinton for $825,000 and also contributes between $1 million and $5 million, that's the disclosure, for the clinton foundation. peter, again, it doesn't look good but what evidence do you have that bill clinton helped -- first of all that he did anything to steer this project to digicell and did it for the good auspices of this a rich billionaire who got him these good speeches. >> i don't have access to internal memos but you see this pattern of benefit. that's the key question. the analogy i use it like insider trading. wrote a book a couple years ago on members of congress who were potentially engaged in insider trading. when you talk to prosecutors most who are engaged in insider trader is they don't see a e-mail. you watch the pattern. that wa

in the case of haiti haiti is entering into a process where elections are occurring. but they have also massively increased the capability of the haitian national police. i was there in january and told by the human police commissioner that it takes 10 international place to do the work of one fully trained haitian police. that is not the ratio one would normally expect, but that is how far they have come with the human help. -- you and help. --un help. the appeal to american taxpayers i feel i continually have to make. it is for these causes that are critical to our national security. if we can drawdown in haiti because we do not want to squander the gains that have been made. if we can consolidate in liberia , we have to increase in south sudan. it is actually a modest infusion given the scale of the threat. we have to fortify the mission and mali, because even today we had a suicide attack at a united nations base. when you go through the list of the peacekeeping missions we're asking you to help us find there is not one mission you would take off and say even cypr

from lucrative reconstruction deals given to clinton friends and donors after the earthquake in haiti, to 500 and 750,000 speeches for bill clinton paid for by countries or foreign companies with some action or policy in front of his then secretary of state wife. to a major uranium mining deal for clinton friend finalized during a trip with former president clinton. >> soon after that bill clinton got a huge donation $31 million to his charitable foundation followed by a pledge to donate $100 million more. >> the company became uranium one and eventually sold to a russian company that is essentially controlled by vladimir putin. they now also control more than 20% of american uranium. officials with uranium one and investors who profited donated $140 million to the clinton foundation. but millions of dollars of those donations were never disclosed. flying in the face of the deal the clintons struck with the obama administration. again, all of this does not fit on a bumper sticker but from the book and various organizations like the new york times and fox news connecting some of the do

became apparent to many people was that if you wanted a contract, if you wanted to do business in haiti to have relationships with the clinton. that was absolutely key. >> the clinton machine has been predictly out in force trying to defend glirl there is no smoking gun. there is no evidence that she changed the policy based on the donations to the foundation. >> i think what we're dealing with is really big bureaucratic organization. i think this book, again has been full of a lot of already discredited pieces. and i think that's more and more going to come out. i think we have to remember that this is not what the voters in this country are looking for in this campaign. >> if somebody wants to make something that the foundation is readjusted a tax return, who knows. and i think the thing is like $2 billion. i wouldn't be surprised if there is an accounting glitch somewhere. how why know? >> but even the liberal "new york times" says it's time for hillary to come clean writing today quote: the increasing scrutiny of the foundation has raised several points that need to be addressed by

earthquake was the magnitude of 7.8 makes it 16 times more powerful than the earthquake that devastated haiti in 2010. mount everest is in 53 nepal, and the quake caused a deadly avalanche at the climbers' base camp. tens of thousands of people in nepal are now spending a chilly stormy night out in the open. here's charlie d'agata. >> reporter: it was just after noon when the killer earthquake struck and triggered chaos on the streets of the capital kathmandu. brick by brick, rescuers raced against time in a desperate search for survivors and any sign of life. but throughout the day, the death toll kept climbing. a security camera captured the terrifying moment the quake hit the earth below and everything above trembles violently for a good 30 seconds. survivors describe scenes of pan and i can mayhem as people scattered on to the streets to avoid being crushed by toppling buildings. world vision's deepesh paul thaka says he was lucky to be alive. >> i'll tell you it was a very horrifying situation. we barely were able to move out of the house. we held ourselves together just praying to see a

and when we went to haiti with buildings that collapsed, therehe were people found in void spaces. >> reporter: some of those rescues in haiti took place more than a week after the 2010 quake left much of the country'so capital in ruins. battalion chief robert harris was there. what's that like? >> very rewarding because, you know, you're there, and we were there to make a difference, and to, you know, help people and save lives. >> reporter: it may be hard to imagine survivors, but harrise says he sees it over and over. >> if you were to simply just roll out of bed and the whole floor or roof came down on top of you, it would create a void space right there by your bed,be and that area would be a survivable space. >> reporter: and it may take several days just to get to them, he says, because of the sheer magnitude of disaster. >> you're getting pulled in a lot of different directions when you have, you know, potentially thousands of people that need our assistance right now.ou >> reporter: when deployed this team is prepared to be entirelyar self-sufficient sufficiency for up to a m

, just to pick up where you ended haiti's entering into a process where elections are occurring. but they've also massively increased the capability of the haitian national police. i was down there in january and was told by the u.n. police commissioner that it takes ten international police to do the work of one fully trained haitian police, which is not normally not necessarily the ratio one would expect but that's a testament to how far they would come with the u.n.'s help. but i just -- i cannot stress how alert we are to the expanding size of the demands we're making on this committee and on the congress and the appeal to american taxpayers that i feel i continually have to make. but it is for these causes that are critical to our national security. and so, if we can draw down in haiti right size because we don't want to in any way squander the gains that have been made. if we can consolidate in liberia, we have to increase in south sudan. it's actually a modest infusion considering the scale of the threat. we have to fortify the mission in mally because terrorists are takin

we saw cholera in haiti or ebola? this is a giant problem. want to look at this but it is something that is very painful, not just to them but will be to us. for selfish reasons or humanitarian reasons, we ought to give a damn. >> a lot of these people are leaving because of groups like isis. it comes back full circle to the whole terror problem around the world. judge, absolutely. the president won't call what's happens to christians genocide. if you look up "genocide" in the dictionary you see that is genocide. the people leaving, the 900 people who drowned in the boat in the mediterranean were leaving africa because of the wars there. they've got boca boko haram, isis. in haiti we picked kids off the street. we had to assign them a name and give them a birthday. these people are stateless. they have no information about who they are. their families are broken up. there is no education. a lot of this starts with us not addressing isis. >> we'll watch your show for more on this. thank you very much. >> thanks. >>> senate minority leader harr
