the trump administration has spoken very mildly and i think it is an affront to our values. it is also against our interests. there are europeans, like the leading candidate for president in france, who was just in moscow, she smoked a peace pipe with putin, she spoke glowingly of him. this is russia extending its influence in a way that will be very much and asked her mental to us and to the world. shannon: yet, he maintains more than 80% approval rating in russia. there really is a difference in how russia handles things. it is important but do speak out against brutal authoritarian regimes and the state department did condemn what happened in russia. you have other u.s. leaders who issued a strongly worded statement. at the same time come only comes to foreign policy, you should be laser focused on the national interest. we work with brutal regimes all the time, china, saudi arabia, places with horrible human rights problems. russia is no different. in terms of what our
to make good to fix the human rights problems that the previous president left him, that he left the door open for the next president because he didn t ameliorate the human rights violations that president bush left him, it was a partisan statement. obama never prosecuted anybody for torture, he never closed down guantanamo, these were major failings on his part. he was not nearly transparent in the use of drones as we wanted him, we were highly critical in many respects. you can go back and read our eight years of reports you ll see plenty of criticism, tucker: i read them every year, let me ask you one less question i ve always wanted ask you this. the constitution guarantees and the courts have upheld this the right of individuals to keep and bear arms. that is under attack by a lot of politicians in this country, trying to take away law-abiding people s rights to exercise their second moment guarantee. that is an attack on their human rights as defined by the constitution and n
rhetoric rather than about human rights, e didn t call me in the last eight years when we are being highly critical of obama. tucker: you weren t being and being principal terror, to uphold the standards of human rights including the disabled. but let me summarize almost remember your summary of president obama, you said is one feeling was he didn t do enough to make good to fix the human rights problems that the previous president left him, that he left the door open for the next president because he didn t ameliorate the human rights violations that president bush left him, it was a partisan statement. obama never prosecuted anybody for torture, he never closed down guantanamo, these were major failings on his part. he was not nearly transparent in the use of drones as we wanted him, we were highly critical in

amounts of border approval but we have transparency. that the question these millions of dollars maybe you are running for president. i am president of the women s center. here s the question. hillary clinton will run for president and the clinton foundation is continuing to accept millions of dollars in donations from countries. a lot of which, like algeria, like qatar, have problems with the united states, have human rights problems. aren t they in a way trying to buy influence from hillary clinton by contributing money to the foundation that has her money on it? i think the appearance of what is happening is poor. and i think the process that they have whatever that is needs to be fully disclosed and there has to bs absolute transparency and people will make judgments for themselves. but foreign governments giving limited amount of money to groups, if fully disclosed and if approved, i think is certainly in the context of the
