>> HILLARY CLINTON TELLS US SHE WILL BE TOUGH ON THE BANKERS.
SO
FAR THE BANKS HAVE GIVEN 21.4 MILLION DOLLARS TO HER CAMPAIGN
AND SUPER PACS, VERY TOUGH.
SHE HERSELF HAS MADE $1.8 MILLION IN
SPEECHES TO BANKS, HER FAMILY HAS MADE NEARLY $10 MILLION
RECENTLY FOR SPEECHES JUST TO THE BANKS.
BUT NONETHELESS,
AFTER SHE LOST BY 22 POINTS IN NEW HAMPSHIRE ALL OF A SUDDEN
SHE FOUND RELIGION, AND IN HER CONCESSION SPEECH SHE SAID,
TALKING ABOUT BERNIE SANDERS --
>>
QUICK QUESTION FOR YOU, SECRETARY CLINTON.
WHAT IS
HOLDING YOU UP?
IF YOU KNOW HOW TO DO IT AND YOU KNOW HOW TO
REIN THEM IN, WHY DIDN'T YOU?
YOU WERE A SENATOR FROM NEW
YORK.
WHAT BILLS DID YOU PROPOSE TO REIN THEM IN?
>>OH RIGHT, NONE.
WHAT ACTIONS DID YOU TAKE, LEGISLATIVELY OR
OTHERWISE, TO REIN THEM IN?
REMEMBER, SHE WAS SENATOR BEFORE
THE CRASH.
WHAT DID YOU DO TO PREVENT THE CRASH?
I'M STILL
WAITING.
NOTHING AT ALL.
SHE CLAIMS THAT IN 2007 SHE WENT TO
THE STOCK MARKET AND WAGGED HER FINGER AT THEM AND TOLD THEM,
CUT IT OUT.
FIRST OF ALL, THERE IS NO RECORD OF HILLARY CLINTON
EVER TELLING ANY BANKERS TO QUOTE UNQUOTE CUT IT OUT.
I DID
A STORY EARLIER IN THE WEEK WHERE THE ATTENDEES AT A GOLDMAN
SACHS SPEECH SHE GAVE SAID SHE WAS GLOWING ABOUT US, IT WAS AS
IF SHE WAS ONE OF OUR MANAGING DIRECTORS.
SECOND OF ALL, IN
2007, DO YOU KNOW WHERE SHE WENT?
SHE WENT TO NASDAQ.
THEY
DO TECH STOCKS, NOTHING TO DO WITH THE HOUSING MARKET.
SO IF
SHE WENT AND YELLED AT TECH COMPANIES TO CUT IT OUT, WHAT
WERE THEY SUPPOSED TO CUT OUT?
THAT ARGUMENT MAKES NO SENSE.
WHEN CHALLENGED ON THAT SHE SAID, I REPRESENT WALL STREET AS
A SENATOR FROM NEW YORK AND THEY WERE ATTACKED ON 9/11.
THE WORST
EXCUSE I HAVE EVER SEEN.
LET'S BE FAIR, LET'S LOOK AT HER
RECORD.
BILL CLINTON'S RECORD.
THE CLINTON GLOBAL
INITIATIVE, THAT IS THEIR FOUNDATION, LET'S FIND OUT IF
THEY ARE TELLING THE TRUTH, IF SHE HAS BEEN TOUGH ON THEM.
A
FORMER GOLDMAN SACHS EXECUTIVE IS WORKING WITH THE CLINTON
CAMPAIGN, HE HAS REFORMED, HAS DONE SOME GOOD THINGS, GIVE
CLINTON CREDIT FOR HIRING HIM, HE SAID YESTERDAY, HILLARY SAID
THAT --
>> APPARENTLY THAT IS WHAT THE CLINTON CAMPAIGN IS SAYING.
LET'S FIND OUT IF THEY MEAN IT.
THE INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS TIMES
REPORTS --
>>HMM --
>> SO HILLARY CLINTON TELLS YOU SHE WANTS THEM PROSECUTED NOW,
BUT BACK WHEN THEY WERE NOT BEING PROSECUTED SHE IS LIKE,
FANTASTIC, GIVE ME YOUR MONEY.
GIMME $5 MILLION.
NO
PROSECUTION.
IS THERE ANY RECORD OF HER TALKING ABOUT PROSECUTION
WHEN THEY COULD HAVE BEEN PROSECUTED?
NOPE.
IS THERE A
RECORD OF HER TAKING CHECKS FROM THEM?
YEP.
NOW IBT CONTINUES --
>>WELL, MORE ON WHAT THE CLINTONS MIGHT HAVE DONE WITH
THOSE BANKS INSTEAD --
>> SO THAT IS THE PERIOD IN WHICH HILLARY CLINTON CLAIMS SHE
WANTED THEM PROSECUTED, BUT MEANWHILE, LET ALONE WHAT THEY
ARE GIVING TO CLINTON'S FOUNDATION, HER AND BILL CLINTON
TOOK $4 MILLION FROM THOSE SAME BANKS THAT WERE NOT PROSECUTED
AND PUT IT IN THEIR POCKETS.
SHE KNOWS HOW TO DEAL WITH THOSE
BANKS.
YOU GO OVER THERE, YOU SAY, GIMME GIMME.
>>OKAY --
>> THESE ARE
ALL VERY CONVENIENT.
I AM NOT DONE YET.
I
LOVE THIS LAST ONE.
HILLARY CLINTON SAYS THERE IS ONE BANK
THAT IS ATROCIOUS.
HSBC.
AND IT IS TRUE.
THEY LAUNDERED MONEY
FOR THE MEXICAN DRUG CARTEL.
IF YOU LAUNDERED MONEY FOR THE
MEXICAN DRUG CARTEL, YOU WOULD BE IN PRISON THE REST OF YOUR
LIFE, YOU WOULD BE SITTING RIGHT NEXT TO EL CHAPO.
BUT IF YOU ARE
A BANKER WHO DOES IT TO THE TUNE OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, DO YOU
GO TO JAIL?
NO.
HILLARY SAYS SHE IS MAD ABOUT THIS.
>>SHE SAYS --
>> OH MY GOD, SHE SOUNDS SO TOUGH.
I BET SHE WAS JUST AS
TOUGH ON THEM WHEN THEY PAID THOSE FINES AND ADMITTED GUILT
IN THIS MONEY-LAUNDERING SCHEME.
>>LET'S FIND OUT --
>> NOW DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE HILLARY CLINTON, AFTER TAKING
MILLIONS UPON MILLIONS OF DOLLARS THROUGH HER CAMPAIGN,
SUPER PACS, CLINTON GLOBAL INITIATIVE, AND PERSONAL MONEY
FOR ALL THESE BANKS FOR ALL THESE YEARS, IS GOING TO TURN
AROUND AND GO, YOU REMEMBER HOW I TOLD YOU I KNOW HOW TO FIX
THESE BANKS?
THAT'S IT, I'M PRESIDENT, I AM COMING AFTER YOU
GUYS, YOU BIG BANKS.
I AM SHOCKED AND CHAGRINED TO FIND
OUT WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE.
THERE IS GAMBLING IN THIS
ESTABLISHMENT?
I WILL STRAIGHTEN THIS OUT.
OR IS IT POSSIBLE THAT
HILLARY CLINTON, FOR THE 100TH TIME, IS FINDING A CONVENIENT
NEW POLITICAL POSITION BECAUSE IT TURNS OUT THE VOTERS KIND OF
LIKE BERNIE SANDERS'S POSITION?
AND YOU ARE SAYING IT IS
NOT PRAGMATIC TO BRING BACK BANKING LEGISLATION THROUGH
GLASS-STEAGALL OR HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE, AFTER YOU LOSE,
JUST LIKE YOU FLIP-FLOPPED ON GAY MARRIAGE -- PRE-2013,
MARRIAGE IS BETWEEN ONE MAN AND ONE WOMAN.
WHAT?
THE POLLS HAVE
SHIFTED AFTER 2013?
I ALWAYS WAS FOR GAY MARRIAGE.
PERFECTLY
FINE.
ONE MAN ONE WOMAN, WHO SAID THAT?
YOU, YOUR ENTIRE
CAREER.
YOU KNOW WHAT BERNIE SANDERS THOUGHT ABOUT GAY PEOPLE
HAVING THE SAME RIGHTS, INCLUDING MARRIAGE?
YOU KNOW WHEN HE
REACHED THAT CONCLUSION?
40 YEARS AGO.
THAT WOULD BE, WHAT,
37 YEARS BEFORE HILLARY CLINTON DECIDED IT WAS CONVENIENT TO DO
IT.
BUT IN THIS CASE IT IS CRYSTAL CLEAR WITH THE BANKS.
HILLARY CLINTON HAS AN ENORMOUS TRACK RECORD, AND IT IS NOT IN
BEING TOUGH AGAINST THE BANKS, IT IS IN TAKING CONTRIBUTIONS
FROM THE BANKS.
AND THEN DOING EXACTLY WHAT THEY WANT.
YOU WANT
TO DELUDE YOURSELF INTO THINKING ANYTHING ELSE?
HAVE AT IT, HOSS.
BUT THAT IS NOT REALITY.
THOSE CHECKS FROM THE BANKS, THAT IS
REALITY.
YOU COULD BANK ON IT.
