you would not listen to the inter—american commission on human rights, you said they had no credibility. amnesty international, human rights watch organisations have said you do not respect the rule of law. but when you hear the criticism you react against the critics. you threw out two of the people from human rights watch who wrote a report about you. it is difficult to have a credible opposition in this country, and i'm sure you agree opposition is a big part of democracy, if when an opponent becomes a very loud critic you lock them up. it's very difficult then to be in opposition. yes, of course. there are some people... but the point is there are many people who can't insult you on the tv because they're in prison. for example, raul baduel, he used to be a very good colleague of yours, he used to be your defence minister. but when he became a critic of yours and joined the opposition you had him locked up. i know that but you only decided he was corrupt when he became an opponent of yours. there are many examples... you say give me examples... we obviously could go through every example, mr president, but one more example..

while human rights groups have condemned duterte, he has received backing from president trump who recently invited him to visit the white house. human rights watch slammed the invitation saying -- "by effectively endorsing duterte's murderous 'war on drugs,' trump has made himself morally complicit in future killings." well, earlier this week, a transcript of the call of trump inviting duterte to the white house was leaked and published by the intercept. according to the leaked transcript, trump said -- "i just wanted to congratulate you because i am hearing of the unbelievable job on the drug problem. many countries have the problem, we have a problem, but what a great job you are doing and i just wanted to call and tell you that." duterte responded -- "thank you mr. president. this is the scourge of my nation now and i have to do something to preserve the filipino nation." trump then responded -- "i understand that, and fully understand that, and i think we number one priorities of the president. amy: the leaked transcript of the trump-duterte call does confirm north korea came up but only after trump praised the filipino president on waging h

have another situation where you have someone who has been accused of vast human rights abuses, the head of human rights watch, in fact, said that if, indeed, he would come to the oval office for a meeting, it would make the president morally complicit in future killings, but as you know, steve, duterte almost immediately sort of fired back and said, well, i'm very busy, i'm not sure that i could put it on the schedule. again, this was something that sean spicer, and we heard reince bree b priebus say this as well, this is a situation where they wanted to bring these leaders together to try to provide a united front that could bring some more stability to the korean peninsula, but the reporting is that people at the state department and some of this own senior officials were surprised what he had to say on that phone call and, in fact, one of the things sean spicer was asked was about the phone call and said obviously the president is briefed about these leaders, he knows what the situation is, so from the white house, they're trying to present this as a way to bring some sort of elusive stability to the kore

according to human rights watch, last month the syrian regime used a nerve agent in northwest syria that killed at least 92 people, including 30 children. even more heartbreaking is the fact that this was not the first chemical weapons attack by the syrian government against its own people. to the contrary. reports suggest that the assad regime's use of chemical weapons has become widespread and systematic. and it has dropped bombs with nerve agents on at least four other occasions since december 12. just yesterday, our own state department revealed that the syrian regime is actively using a large crematorium to dispose of the remains of thousands of syrian men, women and children, who they continue to slaughter. not only has the syrian government become a source of such crimes against humanity, but syria has also indisputably become a hot bed for terrorist activity propped up by iran, russia and hezbollah. both isis and al qaeda are operating near the syria-israel board,er, putting israel and our regional security in grave danger. as a mother and a jew i cannot turn my cheek to this una
