then she left office and they started taking contributions again. listen to bill clinton saying, look, we re transparent about this. don t worry. i agree with all the foreign policy of saudi arabia? no. my theory about all of this is disclose everything, and then let people make their judgments, but i think there are more than 300,000 people, you should know this, in some form or fashion that have contributed money in the work we ve done over the years, and i believe we ve done a lot more good than harm. i believe this is a good thing. there is no question the clinton foundation does some remarkable work around the world. however, he says disclose everything and everything is okay. if it was just him, just a former president, i could process that. you know, a, she was secretary of state and, b, she s probably going to run for president. isn t that a higher standard? absolutely. you re seeing that right now. if there s not more disclosure,
watch the speech that touched on the history. listen here as he responds to recent critics who suggest maybe he doesn t love america. that s what it means to love america. that s what it means to believe in america. that s what it means when we say america is exceptional, not stock photos or air brushed history or feeble attempts to define some of us as more american than others. [ applause ] not stock photos or air brushed history or feeble attempts to define some of us as more american than others. some people will say don t politicize selma. the president did right there. he was answering his recent critics. he absolutely was. i think there is a large camp of people on the left who say those critics are very racially motivated. this is an important moment. i was surprised to see the
that the foundation was taken foreign money. i think that s a bigger controversy because we all grew up around the watergate hearings learning that you have to follow the money, follow the money, follow the money. i think there are some really big questions about the nexus between foreign donations to the foundation, corporate donations to the foundation and potential conflicts of interest. and for us to follow that money we have to go through those e-mails. those e-mails should be a public document. those e-mails should be a public document. lisa, the president of the united states when he was campaigning, they lined everybody in the room, they raised their hands, they took oaths. he said it would be the most transparent administration in history. we do know that the white house sent e-mails to say look, people in the bush administration did this, too. this is not a brand-new practice. hillary clinton was not alone in using a private account. the question is whether she should hav
over. we know the race is not yet won. 50 years later, a giant km commemoration. inside politics, the biggest stories sourced by the best reporters now. welcome to inside politics. i m john king. thanks for sharing your sunday morning. with us to share their insights, lisa lara, rob fournier and our newest member of the cnn team, jess eleny. it s hardly news that hillary clinton is controlling, she likes to do things her way. the big question driving national politics at the moment is whether these instincts drove her over the line. she kept it under her control at her private residence. team clinton says no big deal. everything federal law and regulation mandates is preserved safe and sound, they say.
iowa campaigning for the iowa caucuses. why weren t any of them there? it is an absolute point. the next democratic nominee is probably not going to be an african-american so it gives republicans a big chance to return to those 04 numbers. it makes it very difficult when they re not reaching out doing the easy things like this. if you want to make progress, you have to start somewhere. yeah. right. i mean, looking at the party overall, right, the republican party has struggled for the past decade or more with a party of inclusion as they re growing more diverse not just with african-americans but with latinos. this was an easy opportunity to change the image. whether they win 11% of the african-american vote or 4%, it s sort of about the global make crow image and they didn t take the opportunity. whether you agree or disagree with this president s poll six, he s made history. it is 50 years since the march on selma. that s what brought the voting rights act to selma.
