TO BUILD HOMES,

AND IN SOME INSTANCES

WERE SUPPOSED TO BUILD

TENS OF THOUSANDS

OF HOMES FOR HAITIANS.

THEY ENDED UP BUILDING

A FRACTION OF THAT.

FOR INSTANCE, NEW SETTLEMENTS

PROGRAM WAS SUPPOSED TO BUILD

15,000 HOMES FOR $53 MILLION.

INSTEAD, IT BUILT 2,600 HOMES,

LESS THAN A QUARTER

OF THE ORIGINAL ESTIMATE,

FOR $90 MILLION, OR

$47 MILLION OVER BUDGET,

AND THEY GOT AWAY WITH IT.

SO, YOU HAD CONTRACTS GOING

TO THESE RELIEF ORGANIZATIONS

THAT WERE ALSO INVOLVED WITH

THE CLINTON GLOBAL INITIATIVE,

AND YOU HAD THIS ONE

ORGANIZATION, DALBERG,

THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO DO AN

ASSESSMENT FOR RELOCATING PEOPLE

THAT SUFFERED:

FROM THE EARTHQUAKE.

THEY DETERMINED THAT PEOPLE

SHOULD BE MOVED TO A SITE

THAT HAPPENED TO BE ON A CLIFF

THAT WAS HIGHLY UNSTABLE.

USAID'S INSPECTOR GENERAL

REVIEWED DALBERG'S

RECOMMENDATIONS:

AND FOUND THEM:

BASICALLY UNUSABLE.

ONE MEMBER OF:

THE USAID SHELTER TEAM

WAS QUOTED BY "ROLLING STONE"

MAGAZINE AS SAYING THA THE RECOMMENDATIONS WERE

SO BAD, IT LOOKED LIKE

THE TEAM NEVER EVEN

GOT OUT OF THEIR SUVS.

ANOTHER PERSON SAID THA ONLY ONE OF THE PEOPLE

THAT WAS SENT TO HAITI BY

DALBERG ACTUALLY SPOKE FRENCH.

WOMAN:
TELECOM MOGUL

DENIS O'BRIEN

IS ONE OF THE WORLD'S

RICHEST PEOPLE,

AND HE'S FINDING OPPORTUNITIES

IN THE POOREST COUNTRY

IN THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE.

THE IRISH BILLIONAIRE

IS THE LARGES PRIVATE INVESTOR IN HAITI

THROUGH HIS COMPANY, DIGICEL.

AND HE IS NOW LEADING

THE CLINTON GLOBAL INITIATIVE

EFFORTS DOWN IN HAITI.

PETER:
PROBABLY NO ONE

CAME OUT BETTER:

IN THE HAITIAN:

RECONSTRUCTION EFFOR THAN AN IRISH BILLIONAIRE

NAMED DENIS O'BRIEN.

HE WAS A CLINTON FOUNDATION

DONOR, GIVING THEM

BETWEEN $5 AND $10 MILLION.

HE HELPED ARRANGE SPEECHES

FOR BILL CLINTON, TOO.

THE INTERES OF THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION,

PARTICULARLY FORMER SECRETARY OF

STATE HILLARY CLINTON, YOU KNOW,

ALL THE DIFFEREN THINGS THAT HAVE HAPPENED

TO HELP HAITI GET UP OFF THE

FLOOR HAVE BEEN LED BY THE U.S.

PETER:
AND HE WAS THE OWNER

OF SOMETHING CALLED DIGICEL,

WHICH IS A CELL PHONE COMPANY,

AT THE TIME OF THE EARTHQUAKE.

AS PART OF THAT RELIEF EFFORT,

THE STATE DEPARTMEN RUN BY HILLARY CLINTON

WANTED TO FUND A MOBILE

MONEY TRANSFER SERVICE

THAT WOULD ALLOW HAITIAN

CITIZENS TO TRANSFER AND RECEIVE

MONEY ON THEIR PHONES.

WELL, DIGICEL APPLIED TO BE THE

RECIPIENT OF THAT GRANT MONEY.

4 WEEKS AFTER

THEIR APPLICATION,

DIGICEL ACTUALLY SPONSORED

A SPEECH FOR BILL CLINTON

IN JAMAICA:

AND THEY PAID HIM $225,000.

AND AS IT TURNS OUT, WITHIN

4 MONTHS OF THAT SPEECH,

DIGICEL WOULD RECEIVE THE FIRS INSTALLMENT OF THAT GRANT MONEY.

THE EARTHQUAKE ACTUALLY

HAS BEEN GREA FOR DIGICEL AND DENIS O'BRIEN.

MAN:
MORE THAN 4 YEARS SINCE

A MAGNITUDE 7.0 EARTHQUAKE

DEVASTATED HAITI,

AND OUTRAGE THERE IS GROWING

OVER THE LARGELY FAILED

RECONSTRUCTION EFFOR DESPITE THE HUNDREDS OF

MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN AID

THAT HAS BEEN COLLECTED,

AND SPENT, BY THE IHRC--

THE INTERIM HAITI

RECOVERY COMMISSION.

PETER:
SO, WHETHER

YOU'RE TALKING ABOU HOUSING OR CELL PHONES,

YOU SEE THA THE PEOPLE THAT ARE

CLOSEST TO THE CLINTONS

HAVE MADE OU VERY WELL FROM

THE HAITIAN EARTHQUAKE.

THE REST OF THE COUNTRY,

THE ORDINARY PEOPLE

OF HAITI, NOT SO MUCH.

HAITIAN ACTIVISTS

STAGE A PROTEST OUTSIDE

HILLARY CLINTON'S

MANHATTAN OFFICE.

THE DEMONSTRATORS CLAIM BILLIONS

OF DOLLARS WERE STOLEN THROUGH

THE HAITI:

RECONSTRUCTION COMMISSION,

HEADED BY BILL CLINTON.

THEY ALSO SAY HAITI WAS USED AS

A COVER FOR FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS

TO FUNNEL KICKBACKS OF POSSIBLY

HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS

THROUGH THE CLINTON FOUNDATION.

THEY SAY IT WAS DONE

IN EXCHANGE FOR FAVORS

THAT HILLARY WAS DOING FOR THEM

AS SECRETARY OF STATE.

PETER:
THE TRAGEDY IS, WE HAD AN

OPPORTUNITY TO REBUILD IN A WAY

THAT WOULD GIVE THE PEOPLE

OF THAT COUNTRY HOPE.

SADLY, THAT OPPORTUNITY WAS

SQUANDERED AND WHAT TOOK PLACE,

RATHER THAN REBUILDING HAITI,

WAS THE SELF-ENRICHMEN BY FRIENDS OF THE CLINTONS.

FOR ALL OF BILL CLINTON'S

TALK ABOU "BUILDING HAITI BACK BETTER,"

THE FACT REMAINS THA THE MOST VISIBLE EVIDENCE OF

CLINTON'S ROLE IN THE RECOVERY

ISN'T THE IMPROVEMENT OF DAILY

LIFE FOR EVERYDAY HAITIANS

BUT THE CONSTRUCTION

OF NEW LUXURY HOTELS

JUST MILES FROM THE FOLKS

WHO HAVE BEEN LIVING IN TARPS

USAID HANDED OUT IMMEDIATELY

AFTER THE EARTHQUAKE.

MAN:
WE ARE TELLING

THE WORLD OF THE CRIMES THA BILL AND HILLARY CLINTON

ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR IN HAITI.

PETER:
BUT WHILE

THE WORLD EVENTUALLY

LOST INTEREST IN

HAITI'S RECOVERY,

THE INFLUENCE AND CONNECTIONS

AFFORDED TO:

DONORS FROM:

THE CLINTON FOUNDATION

APPEAR TO HAVE BEEN LESSONS

LEARNED BY OTHERS.

SO, HOW MUCH DID

CONNECTIONS TO THE CLINTONS

MATTER WHEN YOU'RE

TALKING ABOUT HAITI?

CONSIDER THE CASE

OF GOLD MINING.

THE GOVERNMENT OF HAITI

HAD NOT GRANTED:

A GOLD MINING CONCESSION

IN 50 YEARS.

THEY DECIDED TO DO SO DURING THE

RECONSTRUCTION OF THEIR COUNTRY,

WHICH WAS BEING OVERSEEN

BY BILL AND HILLARY CLINTON.

WHAT COMPANY DID THEY SELEC TO GET THIS GOLD MINING PERMIT?

A COMPANY CALLED VCS MINING.

VCS MINING HAD VERY LITTLE

EXPERIENCE IN GOLD MINING.

BUT WHAT DID THEY HAVE?

THEY HAD CONNECTIONS.

SHORTLY AFTER THEY

GOT THAT CONCESSION,

SOMEONE JOINED THEIR

BOARD OF DIRECTORS.

IT JUST HAPPENED

TO BE TONY RODHAM,

BROTHER OF:

HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON.

IT WAS A TRUE DISASTER.

A TRUE DISASTER THA FOLLOWED THE EARTHQUAKE

WHICH WAS THE NATURAL DISASTER.

THIS WAS THE MAN-MADE,

CLINTON-CAUSED

DISASTER IN RELIEF THA LED TO THE WASTING OF

ENORMOUS SUMS OF MONEY,

THE ENRICHMENT OF ELITES

THAT WERE FRIENDS

WITH THE CLINTONS,

AND THE HAITIANS WERE LEFT IN

A SITUATION WHERE THEIR LIFE

WAS REALLY NOT MUCH

BETTER THAN IT WAS

THE DAY AFTER:

THE EARTHQUAKE HAPPENED.

WOMAN:
AN AMBITIOUS PIPELINE IS

FIRING OFF A WAR OF OPINIONS.

MAN:
ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIVISTS

MARCHED IN WASHINGTON TODAY

TO PROTEST PLANS FOR

THE KEYSTONE XL OIL PIPELINE.

WOMAN:
A $7 BILLION PROJEC TO TRANSPOR 800,000 BARRELS OF

TAR SANDS OIL A DAY

FROM CANADA DOWN

TO THE GULF COAST.

WOMAN 2:
IN WASHINGTON,

A SHOWDOWN:

ON THE SENATE FLOOR TODAY

OVER THE KEYSTONE XL PIPELINE.

THE VOTE TO APPROVE

THE CONTROVERSIAL PIPE PROJEC HAS BIG POLITICAL IMPLICATIONS.

MAN:
THE PIPELINE WOULD CREATE

20,000 JOBS, BUT OPPONENTS SAY

THE ENVIRONMENTAL RISK

IS TOO GREAT.

PETER:
ONE OF THE TOUCHSTONES

OF THE CLIMATE CHANGE DEBATE

HAS BEEN THE KEYSTONE

XL PIPELINE.

IT'S DESIGNED TO CARRY OIL FROM

CANADA THROUGH THE UNITED STATES

TO REFINERIES IN LOUISIANA

AND IN TEXAS.

THE ENVIRONMENTAL MOVEMEN HAS WHOLEHEARTEDLY REJECTED

THIS DEAL FROM THE BEGINNING

BECAUSE THEY BELIEVE THA IT'S GONNA FURTHER CONTRIBUTE

TO THE PROBLEMS OF

CLIMATE CHANGE.

ONE--

PEOPLE:
WE ARE THE PEOPLE;

TWO--

YOU CAN'T IGNORE US;

THREE...

[INDISTINCT]

PETER:
NOW, YOU WOULD THINK THA THE CLINTONS WOULD BE OPPOSED TO

THE KEYSTONE XL PIPELINE DEAL

BECAUSE OF THOSE CONCERNS.

AND PERHAPS THEY MIGHT BE,

EXCEPT FOR ONE OR TWO PROBLEMS,
