10:04 pm
genuine democracy. egyptians inside and outside of the government need to take a step back. reporter: this as the obama state department refuses to claim that egypt is embroiled in a civil war or that the military takeover could be described as a coup. we are looking at administration but still has not defined what has happened in a foreign nation over month ago since the president was removed from office. or how they plan, for that matter, to preserve american interests in that region and nation. chief washington correspondent james rosen has the report. reporter: u.s. officials say these officials firing on

10:06 pm
senior foreign policy officials in this administratio did not make a determination. >> we looked at our legal requirements to determine that wewere not reqred to make a determination. including what is the impact on national security. >> they have failed this as misguided with disastrous effects. chaos and cairo, secretary john kerry praising the military did not help. >> from benghazi to cairo, obama's foreign policy is not working, but it is literally an inflad and if we lose egypt cannot imagine what this will look like.

10:09 pm
restored egypt's egypt and a sweater that is is why they are having such a difficult time findg a voice. lou: honestly i see it more than just difficult. it is still conflicted in its statements, sending senator graham and senator mccain to support the inclusion of the muslim brotherhoo so that the other will once are part of this. >> we have made it clear. but there are many decision-makers both with the legislative branches in the city who think that counts. it is partof the war on terror. what happened today they have
10:10 pm
been feeding all the other jihadist and even more. so the army listens to what they have said. it is a militia that is controlling this. lou: by this administration supportg us.
10:11 pm
>> they are starting to wage this cherish them that they have waged throughout the middle east. the only way to do that is to get them to include them in some way shape or form. >> that message egyptian brotherhood participation. leaders the secular military including this. is preposterous on its need and their idea about avoiding a guerrilla warwith the muslim brotherhood is to put them in a significant role within the
10:12 pm
governing coalition. >> i think as long as the military is calling the shots, you can afford to have som participation without military civilian control. lou: we are talking about an organization that we have seen substantial things. >> many advisers have been advising the administration and outside the administrationof the muslim brotherhood or naïve people and events bring them to the government and once they are out of the government they will be very nice. that is not t case. when they can do as much as they can from the agenda when they have the entire government as mohammed morsi had done. he deded to create the foundation it is to reform and

10:22 pm
>> this story that is now being reported that we have taken up as well on this broadcast, one of the whistleblowers in benghazi. that we are intelligent about, the operators do not know where those 400 missiles are. how much credence to give to those statements and do you think that that is part of the reason that this administration has been stonewalling for more than 11 months on benghazi?
10:23 pm
it allowed him to be attacked. so yes, i am concerned that this is part of qadhafi's stockpile of weapons that maybe we had collected. work somehow weere tunneling into the rebel forces in libya. i think that is why we need the select committee. the investigation is being spread across five different congressional committees. lou: as we wrap up here, we will receive comprehensive immigration reform as envisione by the senate. that is the gain of eight bill which has been pronounced dead at ben the house.

10:30 pm
would you think that would including growing party membership? you haven't told anybody what the membership is you have not even set a goal or identified the states where you go into white those democrats out. then you say you launch the initiative of the rising stars then suddenlyocus on newt gingrich, new jersey governor christie who by the way held more than governor romney in the last election and apparently he was not invited. scott -- scott brown? gabriel gomez alsoa good guy they lost the last election what is the message? tell us rnc in what about senator mccain's manifest disdain for your party? instead of the house bill
10:31 pm
going on missions for president obama. over senator graham where was he? is that the way to make it happen, republicans? but those autopsies to maae it happen to talk about the future of the party. trust me. rand paul a. end of marco rubio what about the governor jim dolled rising star? the performance power and making it happen the what you are actually accomplishing as a party, let's talk about your membership be and your goals has been for months now breathing newled the
10:32 pm
life into a morbid political party and should be asking every day we wre doing how you're doing and how he wil make it happen. how about something little less distracted? because winning is what it is all about. put it here. victory 21 '04. that is the message by the way then 2016 just bring it down. that is what it is all about. lou: did leave violence with a failed state nearing reality. former u.s. attorney in drew mccarthy joins us next.

10:38 pm
so as horrible judgment as that has been reluctant the other side with secretary of state john kerry doing something that hillary clinton could not do fear of her tenure she has palestinians and israelis with the negotiation. >> to get to that for the peace process they put pressure to release terrorist many that are homicidal maniacs. lou: and judgment by netanyahu he made that whether under pressure or otherwise do theyt least not have to get to that point? >> i don't think any process that calls itself the peace process by releasing terrorism -- terrorist is authentic. says this is the same tune we hea for 20 years.
