Former Haitian Senator Bernard Sansaricq spoke at a Donald Trump event, accusing the Clintons of trying to bribe him during the 1994 U.S. invasion of Haiti. Sansaricq claims his visa was revoked after he refused to side with Bill Clinton and demands an audit of the billions of dollars in earthquake relief funds that allegedly never reached the Haitian people.

Following the 2010 Haiti earthquake, the Clinton Foundation and the Clinton-Bush Haiti Fund managed billions in international aid that critics claim never reached the Haitian people. Charles Ortell highlights a $37.2 million transfer to a Maryland PO box and discrepancies in non-cash item reporting. Additionally, a gold mining contract in Haiti was reportedly granted to a company where Hillary Clinton's brother served as a trustee.

The conversation with the Haitian driver shifts to the billions of dollars in aid money collected after the 2010 earthquake. The driver alleges that much of the $6 billion in aid was funneled through the Clinton and Bush foundations without reaching the Haitian people. He emphasizes that Bill Clinton is viewed as the primary power player in these dealings rather than Hillary.

Allegations of corruption regarding the Clinton Foundation's role in Haiti relief efforts have resurfaced, with claims that less than 1% of $6 billion in aid reached the Haitian government. Critics argue the Clintons treated Haiti as a private asset, rewarding friends and donors with lucrative contracts for gold mining and infrastructure. The involvement of Clinton staffers like Cheryl Mills and the late Gary Conille is cited as evidence of a self-serving "web" of influence.

President Obama's meeting with Haitian President Michel Martelly is scrutinized. The hosts highlight the discrepancy between Obama's claims of "progress" and the reality of 150,000 people still living in tents four years after the earthquake. They question the disappearance of billions of dollars in international aid collected by the Clinton-Bush Haiti Fund.

Soledad O'Brien reports for Al Jazeera America on the failed housing projects in Haiti funded by USAID. The report reveals that a $59 million project intended to build 15,000 houses resulted in only 2,600 planned homes and 156 actually built, with costs spiraling due to contractor overhead and lack of oversight.

The hosts discuss the broader corruption of aid in Haiti, suggesting that Bill Clinton and various NGOs "snorted" the money intended for earthquake victims. They mock celebrity activism, including telethons featuring George Clooney and Reese Witherspoon, noting that the billions raised have failed to improve conditions for the 300,000 people still living in camps.

A donor who worked for a Christian NGO in East Timor describes the "disgusting" waste of the United Nations, contrasting the UN's brand-new 4x4 trucks with the local population's suffering. The hosts calculate that billions in donated funds for Haiti should have built hundreds of thousands of homes, yet many people remain in tents while luxury hotels are constructed instead.

Total donations for Haiti relief have reached nearly $15 billion, exceeding the estimated costs for reconstruction. Despite the massive influx of cash from telethons and government pledges, reports indicate that local gangs are intercepting aid and selling it on the black market. The hosts express skepticism regarding the long-term management of these funds by international bodies.
