we'll look at the sultan of brunei brunei's disturbing record on human rights. >> ban brunei from the transpacific partnership agreement. >>> good to have you with us tonight, folks. we start with foreign policy. today benjamin netanyahu delivered his controversial speech to congress. there was reaction. 36 house democrats, 7 senate democrats, and 1 senate independent skipped today's speech. netanyahu took a hard line against iran. he warned against the iran nuclear deal currently being negotiated. netanyahu made clear he has two major problems with the deal. >> you see, my friends, this deal has two major concessions. one, leaving iran with a vast nuclear program. and two, lifting the restrictions on that program in about a decade. that's why this deal is so bad. it doesn't block iran's path to the bomb. it paves iran's path to the bomb. >> the prime minister admitted certain restrictions would be placed on iran's nuclear program, but he said they cannot be trusted. >> it has violated agreements in 2005, 2006 and 2010. iran broke the locks and shut off the cameras. i know this does n

and then brunei the only nation ranking in the top 100 is at 98. here's a closer look at how much money those countries donated to the clinton foundation. some of the examples of their discrimination against women. let's look at saudi arabia. that country donated between $10 million and $25 million to the clinton foundation. in 2011 women were finally granted the right to vote there. but get this women are still not allowed to drive and they need a male guardian's permission to work or to travel. then in kuwait which did give between $5 million and $10 million to her foundation women do not have the right to become public prosecutors and judges and there are not any laws on the books which make domestic violence illegal. then the united arab emirates donated between $1 million and $5 million and considered one of the most socially liberal gulf states, but still women there are required to have a male guardian conclude their marriage contract and then have the legal right to discipline their wives with the use of physical violence. then in oman qata

. >> why would we want a trade deal with brunei? >> no good reason. >> they have sharia law, undercut wages. the sultan is one of the richest guys in the world. it just doesn't match up with america, does it? >> in no way does it match up. it matches up with a state department view that says whatever it takes, whatever sacrifices of american workers, that sacrifice is well worth it if for a few extra years we keep a brunei where the oppression is enormous on their own people rather than china. that's exactly what he means when he says it is china or us. state department jargon where we sacrifice and we pay off these countries if they come closer to the united states than to china. pay it off with our own jobs and our own pay. >> they come from the state department. they come from the commerce department. there hasn't been a good one out there. the president says in the state of the union address he needs fast track to protect american workers. your response to that? >> mr. president, you had fast track on colombia on panama and on k

and when i does have tremendous violations. -- brunei does have tremendous violations. we pulled our event from the beverly hills hotel, which is owned by the sultan of brunei. we are trying to wake up people that these trade agreements sometimes i would countries that are just violating human rights. and we should have higher standards. as i say, trade cannot trump, you know, basic human rights and the rights of women. they will flog women in public, it is just an outrage. at a hope more people understand that, and that we can demand more from our trading partners. if they want to trade with united states, they have to have a better record on human rights. host: let's get one more call here from staten island, new york. catherine is on the independent line. caller: yes, good morning. miss meal, -- ms. smeal, i'm listening to you, and how more equal do you want to be? with whom? guest: you want to have boys and girls, men and women equal. there should be equal education opportunities. and health care. there should be areas of health care in which women are -- i will giv

brunei, where the lgbt community has legitimate human rights concerns in brunei and malaysia and in vietnam, their record on labor is very suspect. and on anticorruption, they could pass laws, but they don't have the institutions, the independent prosecutors and courts that give us confidence that they would enforce those laws. my priority from the beginning, i think i've been very open about it is that our trading objectives be very strong on good governance because of the tpp negotiations. and that, yes we are concerned to make sure that we continue to have a level playing field on environment, on labor protections, but also on good governance, anticorruption, and as senator schumer said enforcement. because if it's not enforceable under the trade sanctions, it becomes very difficult to see whether we really elevated. and for those who are concerned as i know some of my colleagues are about mixing trade and human rights, let me remind you. it was the u.s. leadership that spoke to the soviet union and their human rights on immigration. i will be evaluating very carefully. not just what we

these are the people we are thinking about negotiating with vietnam, brunei -- brunei is under sharia law. that means they flog women, they discriminate against gays. in 2007, we had environmental agreements down as well as labor agreements. today, peru has walked away from the environmental agreement and they walked away from the labor agreement. we have no enforceable mechanism to do that. we want to say here, these are the countries we think makes sense to do this with and then we go back-and-forth as to who they are. what are the negotiating principles? the objectives? let's agree on those and then months have a say when it is negotiated about what happened. those pieces have not happened. the only thing we are being told is that we want fast track authority, which is no public scrutiny limited debate, and no opportunity to amend the legislation. furthermore, you will recall this one the public said to members of congress on the affordable care act, read the bill all we are asking for is to read the bill. erik: i'm afraid we have to leave it there. congresswoman rosa delauro makin

also, eugene robinson and frank bruney and krystal ball. susan, what more do we know about this apparent drunk driving incident by two secret service agents actually on the grounds of the white house? >> well, i think "the washington post" story did very good job of detailing what i think is unfortunate that it's not all that surprising. i did a story last year that chronicled the use of the disciplinary action that was taken that the secret service takes against its agents and i found that the fbi and even the tsa has a higher standard when it comes to alcohol related incidents. and they have an automatic 30-day suspension, whereas when i looked at the incidents of the secret service over the past five years, they have a very uneven record of punishing their agents and officers for alcohol related events. >> susan, do they have a written policy on it? >> they have what every agency in the federal government has, what is called the table of discipline, or table of punishment. but they would not provide me that table so i could do some compa

the clinton foundation has taken money from all over the world, qatar, kuwait, brunei, we're putting up on the screen the gender gap in terms of this is where they are ranked nationwide and how they treat women. saudi arabia women can't drive, they need male counterparts. i'm just putting it up there. what is your take -- she hasn't been critical the champion of womens rights has taken tens of millions of dollars from countries that have abysmal rights records for women. and what is your take on that? >> well, it comes down to two things. it's real obvious. everybody knows that money is the most important thing with the clintons. period. >> do you think she won't criticize because the money's more important than the principle of standing up. >> exactly. being womens advocate and, you know, the war on women attack is totally bogus. she's got a choice. if she wants to further womens issues and advocate for women all over the world, it's okay to look the other way when she takes all this money from these countries that abuse women. so which is it? is she going to take that money from th
