7:00 pm
get the economy of the niagara of the federal stimulus we can do better. the figure for joining us have a great night. lou: good evening. thank you for being with us the driving force behind forcing a vote on the defunding of obamacare. first they blasted their own leadership for being part of the bedwetter wing of the republican party that caused the speaker to reverse himself to call for a vote then they blasted senator cruz the darling of conservatives to say they have the democrats to strip defunding from the house legislation. but they're getting the same treatment from the speaker in cruz reverse the on dash
7:01 pm
griffin reversed himself we will do everything necessary anything possible to defund obamacare. and anything else any procedural means necessary it is easy to focus on the political back and forth. lou: quite a reversal by the senator. this is a different republican party than even one year ago. speaker peter -- boehner shows considerable leadership. senator cruz after making a terrible mistake in the house shows he actually understands the best way to fix his mistakes are to quickly do so. when republicans said it is time to put on the big boy pants maybe this will lead
7:02 pm
us out of the bedwetters. no republicans want to be a part of that bedwetter wing boehner blasted obama said to take the government to the brink of a shutdown all of obamacare that most americans oppose speaker boehner release this comical synopsis of the president salinas to negotiate with vladimir putin but not congress. >> the president has been very clear he is not negotiating. >> what i will not do is to have a negotiation. >> let me reiterate our position unequivocal ball. >> we will not negotiate with republicans in congress >> this is something that is not space have been discussing this with president putin for some time. >> we will work with the russians. >> mr. prime minister you are serious about engaging
7:03 pm
in substantive meaningful negotiations. lou: the problem is that mr. boehner needs to take off his shirt to a clever and of course. also of the aftermath of the tragic flooding in colorado was $2 billion worth of damage now reports of at least wailes bills caused by those massive floods nearly 20,000 gallons of oil have spilled into rivers across the colorado plains rescue efforts have been positive positive, down from 1200 missing to now just about 200 this evening. but in mexico more than 40,000 tourists trapped around acapulco after flooding bear to go by a two tropical storms ripped through the area did death toll rises at 80 nearly 60 people are missing. and reports of crocodiles
7:04 pm
infesting the floodwaters as you can see residents battling with these reptiles in the streets but the highly anticipated that heavily criticized "grand theft auto" had an extraordinary opening day despite the controversy by the violent content or because of it, it topped the world wide box office receipts of all but two of the top hollywood box orators of the year. in one day. but we begin tonight with a house republican caucus standing together on the highly unpopular law and the president's willingness to force a government shutdown over a law that even he is not going to enforce. back in july he decided to delay the employer mandate until 2015.
7:05 pm
then in august he granted a waiver to members of congress and their staffs in addition to roughly 12 for the companies and unions granted waivers, over half a million union workers by the way are among those receiving waivers. but unions are still not have been the afl-cio adopted a resolution that causes the law's implementation high the disruptive to union health plans while demanding changes. you did officials seeking a rule change could cut the multi employer plans is qualified in the latest fox poll shows seven out of 10 americans remained opposed to obamacare they clearly did not qualify for the waiver. the deaths of four americans in benghazi was at a house oversight committee hearing. the ministers gave emotional
7:06 pm
testimony as the co-author of the state department tried to defend their findings chief news correspondent katherine has our report. >> everytime i see this on tv i see the bloody fingerprint they keep asking people do they belong to my son? >> sean smith's mother was the emotional heart of the oversight hearing. >> of the president's child was at benghazi with the aggressive attempts be more aggressive? >> obama said he would get back to me about the video in a i don't trust my government anymore. >> earlier republicans show the focus on the accountability review board. >> it looks like inside job
7:07 pm
with the department of state looking at the department of state. >> they a knowledge mrs. clinton's role to pick investigators for out of the five members of the board. >> she did. >> the investigation relied on interview summaries rather than depositions those that had middle managers to blame so lawmakers were told there is no need to go higher. >> we had very clear evidence full and complete to our information is that the authority and responsibility and accountability rested with the people we identified. >> that close contact between mrs. clinton's chief of staff that the state department employee. >>. >> she called you up by what you to serve on the board as we get into formation and you call her up and say the lady who was about to go in front of the committee will
7:08 pm
be a terrible witness you need saphead heads up. >> now taking legal action in. >> i am in the process to issue subpoenas because the state department has not made those people available. they are playing hide and seek now hiding behind a thinly veiled statement there is a criminal investigation. >> allies to kunming's released a report saying it was with the most comprehensive reviews ever conducted the opposite of a whitewash. lou: in breaking news moments ago the house of representatives voting to cut $4 billion per year from food stamp programs it passed by two vendors 17 / 210 a close vote is by some republicans who said the cut was too high. 50 republican votes across the aisle to vote no the savings could be achieved by allowing states to enact
7:09 pm
broad work requirements as well as drug testing applicants. my next guest attended today's hearing he says questions remain over accountability. joining us to discuss the latest of the bang gauzy discussion we have a member of the house oversight of foreign affairs committee distinguish naval officer good to have you with us. >> let me ask you as you watched the two leaders of the investigation was your reaction to what they have to say? >> for me though white house already pointed to the accountability review board as the final word no stone unturned and they did everything but in fact, they did not even interview the leading figures of the state department including
7:10 pm
secretary of state hillary clinton after the east african embassy bombing that accountability review board said the secretary of state must personally be involved to look at the security of the diplomatic outpost in particular ones where we know those that could be and a hot zone you have one of the most sensitive areas are gaddafi has just been removed there was islamic extremism and request for security but yet they did not think it was appropriate to ask secretary clinton how she was appalled and what decision she made with respect to that. for me i think it was a limited investigation of a very distinguished public servant but they did not answer all the questions of who is ultimately responsible. lou: this has dragged on
7:11 pm
more than one year it is:-- clearly stonewalling telling congress stand aside you will not know any more than what we permit even denying access to the survivors of the attack and a the a rb -- arb not allowing them to interview the people that are there. this is astonishing i cannot believe you pian say this is a white wash. >> we know from what has happened we are over one year away now when individual has been held accountable with any meaningful sense whether getting fired, even receiving a reprimand and of course, the terrorists who perpetrated the attack and this goes beyond our hearing today but then of those have
7:12 pm
been held accountable either so the american people see that and agree with your sentiment and they know there has not been any accountability and today we found out the arb did not review all pertinent facts there has been an effort to stonewall and part of the reason it happened in the middle of the presidential campaign in the president did not want to face the music out of fear but those timid members deserve the truth in the american people want the truth given their bravery of those americans that were killed. lou: listening to the testimony, the democratic members out of that committee? >> and constance the reason
7:13 pm
that they had spent is after they were killed they told by secretary of state clinton in the president that we will hold those that created accountable this is telling those people because of the video and we now know after having done the investigation that has nothing to do with libya. in the presence there that's is reasonable end critical is the absence of the democrats of the room that i question. don't you? the democrats believe this is all about politics. this is why they issued a report that said the arb
7:14 pm
answer the questions and republicans are trying to politicize this so they tried to take that posture to circle the wagons and i don't think the american people think that is true that the questions have been answered but that is where they are as a party. lou: you have no universal view that most of the democrats walked out as the family members were tested? >> i don't know what their reasoning was for walking out or not. i don't want to say they were protesting or not but. lou: i am just asking for your personal reaction. >>. lou: did you not find that to be ill mannered at the very least? >> a lot has been ill mannered. lou: pollees good to talk with you.
7:15 pm
much more on benghazi on the stonewall in the president's state department throw the broadcast will be a stephen king just how far the effort to defund obamacare will go. stay with us. we're coming right back. there is a problem with the federal judicial system and turns out intelligence maybe a liability for the judges. any last requests mr. baldwin? do you mind grabbing my phone and opening the capital one purchase eraser? i need to redeem some venture miles before my demise. okay. it's easy to erase any recent travel expense i want. just pick that flight right there. mmm hmmm. give it a few taps, and...it's taken care of.

7:46 pm
twice or three times we show the president's remarks twice. we were not the only ones that were incredulous that the president would choose "the washington post" fact checker also we should bring up of for pinocchio over his remarks that is as bad as it gets because lawmakers going back to the 1950's have use the debt limit to four separate issues the president himself was ever got flooded against the debt ceiling the pinocchio is piling up just day congratulations on your most recent on the debt ceiling those comments were amazing

7:55 pm
>> there are people on the other side that use it as an excuse but the issue is not inflation but asset bubbles and central banks have a terrible track record they miss it every time. >> i think the issue is this inflation the fed chairman only uses the term once a and that is interesting because i think the focal point the reasons they swore the tapering or reducing the asset purchases it is dangerous, destructive a and at our doorstep. >> history shows it is more
7:56 pm
destructive than inflation it is particularly destructive to fall -- to small businessmen in.the roads the value of their earnings but the fed right now is in a very precarious position in the big danger immediately is what is happening internationally that has the potential with the booming market with multinationals that are investing it everywhere with the emerging markets. lou: we are running out of time. reducing it will be janet yellen? >> but it is for for the president will prefer someone else. lou: i have to call it.
