♪ ♪ lou: good evening, everyone. explosiv new detai on the benghazi terrorist attacks emerging. fox news exclusively obtaining transcripts and testimony given to a top-secret executive session of the house armed services subcommittee on investigations last year. he told congress in june of last year that he informed chief chairman dempsey and secretary leon panetta that the benghazi consulate was under a terrorist attack. they were on a way to the meeting with the president at the time of that conversation

and they have five morning talk shows the following sunday where they blamed the attacks on the protest. falsely claiming that the attack arose out of a demonstration of muslims angry at an anti-islam film. the president himself push that false narrative in front of the united nations general assembly. the chairman of the armed services committee, congressman buck mckeon pushed him on the manner say in your discussions with secretary leon panetta, was there any mention of a demonstration or was all the discussion about an attack? he said my recollection is that there was some discussion about it. but it was peripheral. hinckley to our conversation. we knew that a u.s. facility had been attacked and was under attack and we knew at that point that we have two individuals.

ambassador stevens and mr. smith unaccounted for. congressman brad lindstrom of ohio, a veteran of the iraq war pressed further and he asked, i would hope that our military leadership would be advising that this was a terrorist attack. with general dempsey and secretary leon panetta, that is the nature of the conversation that we had. the africana commander told the committee that fighter jets in the region were unarmed and that there 10 hours away in the uk. and the commander in charge said that he wasn't comfortable with security in the region and offered to does send a detachment of regions more than 10 months previously. but that offer was rejected by secretary leon panetta. and so what exactly is africom?

the african command. well, africa is huge, of course the much larger than most of us realize. and it is the second biggest continent after asia and so large that could contain the united states and mexico and china and india and japan all of europe. but the u.s. africa command is as minimal as africa is best. africom consists of only 2000 personnel including military and civilian employees and contractors. the headquarters is in germany were 1500 of the personnel are from the space. the army elements are based upon italy and the u.s. navy ships are saying that the marine contingent is shared with marine corps forces in europe.

located in germany at the airbase. we thought you might like a little bit more context. turning now to a rant. lawmakers on capitol hill expressing doubts about a deal with iran to slow its nuclear weons program. representing the framework on how to implement a six-month nuclear dear in november. and it would go into effectext monday, january 20. under that agreement aranda will limit its uranium enrichment to 5%, commonly used to power reactors and it would stop producing 20% enriched uranium which is just a step away from weapons grade. iran will also promote experts to carry out daily inspections of its nuclear facilities and programs. the united states and the european nion wil ease the

sanctions on iran some $4.2 billion in what has been blocked in banks and other accounts. all in all the officials say that the sanctions released will total about $7 billion for the next six months in negotiations to continue on a long-lasting deal. something that secretary of state john kerry says will be tough to reach. >> we were very clear about the greater challenges that we face in negotiating. we understandthat it will be a tough negotiation and we are very clear about what will be required in order to be able to guarantee to the international community tt this is a peaceful program. lou: grave concerns about

whether or not the united states can trustiran. a bill that would slap new sanctions against iran if it failed to comply with the deal now has the support of 59 senators. to overcome a presidential veto. obamacare is not attracting the young and healthy americans needed to make the law a success. 2.2 million americans have signed up now for private insurance under obamacare. but only 24% are 18 to 34 years of age. young invincible. that is way off the white house target under the model of obamacare f 38%. a figure that economists say is deeply troubling. >> they are not giving that kind

of ratio right now. there are people who are signing up and they are definitely older. and the reason why it's important is because as we get older we have more health problems. >> is thenly people who are signing up for health insurance are peopleho need medical care, and we don't get broad participation between those that are young and healthy come the marketplace has a problem. lou: the young tend to procrasttinate and they're holding up that they will get closer to their target by the time the enrollment. closes at the end of march. troubles with the obamacae website are still with us. the latest issues involved spanish speakers and critics say the translation on the site are so full of tyrannical mistakes but it appears that they must have been computer-generated. and "the weekly standard" reports on another obamacare issue. the president's health care law

reportedly contains a huge government bailout of insurance companies. proposing to cover upto 8 of insurance company losses. the bailout would remain in the law unless republicans take action. turning now to the supreme court, justices today reporting skepticism and making recess appointment. back then the white house claims the senate was technically in recess because it wasn't conducting business. republicans dispute that saying that the senate was battling in and out in order to prevent those appointmen. alina kagan, the justice on obama wrote this we are dealing

with a historic relic, someone whose original purpose has disappeared and assumed assume the purpose that no one ever intended. the case is expected to be achieved by june. we have it all covered here. the president's plan to reform the nsa and the obamacare train wreck. and colonel ralph petrs lays out the possibleoutcomes of the administrations deal with iran. and hillary clinton's hit list exposed in the "a-team" in the list of prominent dmocrats.

>> that is the largest decline in two months. we are coming right back and as i said, plee stay with us. >> john kerry has a deal on iran. set to lift sanctions and senators from both parties say tougher not easier sanctions are needed. we are joined by colonel ralph peters on the unintended welcome back. how is everything? there's nothing like being your own boss! and my customers are really liking your flat rate shipping. fedex one rate. really makes my life easier. maybe a promotion is in order. good news. i got a new title. and a raise?

>> vice president biden spoke about this memorial service. >> he was a prime minister who is a complex man.

he engendered strong opinions from everyone. lou: he died on saturday at the age of 85 years old. he was in a coma for eight years. secretary of state john kerry and his russian counterpart in paris tonight trying to develop a plan for syrian peace talks that is scheduled next week in switzerland. but to say that they have reached an agreement to bror a cease-fire and some of the most embattled areas but they can't agree on inviting a rant to those of those talks. in the former defense secretary gates speaking out about reaction to his upcoming memoir entitd beauty. >> i'm not really surprised that i am in no way disappointed that the book has sort of been hijacked by people along the political spectrum to serve their own purposes.

and so part of the political warfare in washington is something that i decry in the book. lou: referring to the backlash in his book about the president's lack of commitment to the afghan war strategy. was wearing a neck brace better after he fell a week ago. joining us now is lieutenant colonel ralph peters. judith miller is with us as well. so before we get in to this, these developments are fascinating. one of the most fascinating aspects is africom is nothing more than a shell. and i have to say that i was surprised at that. how do you think that that factored into what did or did not happen?

>> you have to talk about another eason why to be prepared because there was a spontaneous video that was because of this. i think that is 450 page tracript that we are just learning about now, it really calls into question some of the administration questioning what happened and it's not going to be good for hillary clinton. lou: it is also not good for "the new york times." >> they just finished months of investigation and one byline story by person who is based in cairo. h was viewed as and they were from the christian coptic community and he had also reported to libya that a video is responsible in part for this affair and he sent back to do

another story and basically we examined this. lou: let me turn to you, ralph. the assets that were available because as you well know much of it has been why in the world has in the white house ordered someone in their to help those folks. there appears to have been very w people that could've been sent there. secondly nothing on the order of what would be implied by something so grand as africom. >> you are one of very few people in the media that has done due diligence. and they want to do something active, they basically have to beg forces from the united states. being said from pantta on down, nonetheless committed

this for military people. they didn't try. even if you think it will be a month before you get there, you try to rescue americans when they are under attack. and now we know thanks to the testimony that not only does he know but dempsey and panetta were on their way to the white house and the bottom line is that president obama knew and he lied and he had other people go out and lie as well. and so yes, it does matter and it's the difference between a murder in a car accident. lou: we will see where this leads. this has been a torturously slow process towards dating what transpired there. and i want to turn if i made to another development. that would be the president speaking on friday the new

america foundation comes up with criticisms of the nsa and their support for the president's view and the bill and melinda gates foundation, one of the companies is extraordinarily ctical of the nsa anderic schmitt, the open society institute, is there anyway that we could see expertise in this discussion besides that of apolitical and politicized white house? as well as a foundation that is supported by money? >> i think you get the results that you pay for. many people in the community are divided themselves as to whether or not that surveillance is

authorized. i think e president has committed to reform long before this study. >> it sounds prejudici to me. >> how about frustration. [laughter] >> this is media and left-wing created. give me the name of one american that has been injured tangibly by any of these nsa programs. including various other private companies that horrid our information. i don't want to pick on target.

lou: we will still take that into consideration on that issue. >> thank you s so much for beig with us. i hope that you have picked up a copy of my new book because it is about what is happening with this country right now. it is about the mess that is the republican party in this country. do you know what excites me about this? a lot. it is person's guide to fix both of themasses. it was under discussion yesterday. here is the headman talking about governor christie and so-called bridgegate. >> he stood there for 111 minutes in an open dialogue with the press. only if they would give uss thee 111 seconds of that when we find out some things that we want to

find out about obamacare and ungodly and the irs. >> i just want to hear the answers about obamacare and all of the other scandals as well. i also want to hear republic leaders focused on this use midterm election. i'm tired of the gop leaders that cannot come up with winning strategies. there are just 294 days remaining to this year's midterm election. in those elections are too important for the republica to screw it up again. we are going to continue this countdown to the election day to help out a few folks. and as i point out in my book the gop needs a little help and i'm willing to offer it here. speaker boehner, many are willing to lose the house and willing to not win back the senate. but millions of americans aren't in think it's critical to the

national interest to win. it is to you that i'm speaking when talking about the book. to win, the leaders of the republican party have to recall vividly their mistakes and failures. and chief amongthose failures was permitting themselves to become the party of privilege. to favor corporatism over dynamic entrepreneurism and all but ignore the needs and concerns of the middle class. from the head of the chamber of commerce, for crying out loud the gop elite declare they are going after t tea party and reince priebus said they responded in john boehner doesn't protest. mitch mcconnell, even though he is running against the tea party opponent, he doesn't say no, that will not be the way you define the republican party. and that should be obvious.

they need to embrace those that support as possible and limited government. support for the family and help those families. not being lapdogs to european corporatism. a strong and vigorous economy that creates prosperity across america. i want everyone to join the republican party because i believe it is the only influence to democrats and the administration that have gone hog wild to centralized government and only government solutions for what ails us and much ails us and much of this administration as part of this. i hope that we can create some people of people in the republican party first, maybe even change the leaders for some of those in the party. and i believe that we can move

towards prosperity and pushing back those that are so enthusiastic about every larger government and the ever larger unions. think about it, if you will. the book is a thinking man and woman's guide and i hope you'll pick it out. next i will be talking about tea party congressman whois scared when the chamber of commerce goes after folks like him for representing folks like all the rest of us. he is coming up next. please stay with us. >> the clintons never forget, so says a new book and in says that hillary had a hit list. on it are those who chose the back barack obama in 2008. the establishment leaders declare war on tea party

lou: my next guest is a tea party congressman co-sponr of a bipartisan bill calling for major reform to the nsa. member of the house foreign

affrs and agriculture committee. congressman, good to have you with us. you end president obama in absolute agreement to reform the nsa. but to begin that colonel peters asked, who is the person that has been hard or injured as a result of an assays surveillance? >> first, and happy new year. it is the unintended consequences that come out of this. we have to rein in the nsa. when you have senator leahy and the main ahors of the pitcher backed wanting to bring needed for oversight we need to pay attention. that is what we support. lou: money ask you a question. i have the greatest respect for you. i liked you. >> i appreciate it.

lou: i have a hard time figuring out exactly what in the world the house and senate committees have done that add responsibility over the nsa. how did we get here? the is the congress and the sene simply not functioning? are they responsible? deceived? what is the deal? >> you see the dysfunction of government over the last 10 or 15 years. we have not been paying attention. to answer mr. peters questioned who has been harmed? do we want to wait until somebody is hard? we know they are overreaching. we have seen dragnet of information coming in with the u.s. a freedom act that we co-sponsored this brings some -- gathering of data that nsa is doing to give the oversight to the fis a court this has been lacking

and we need to wait to see what mr. obama does on friday. lou: then let's tn to the war within your party against you and others like you that arty party members of congress, the chamber of commerce has come out against the two party candidates that challenge incumbents. this has to have you worried? >> i will not worry about that. think about what the tea party platform is. limited government, fiscal responsibility, a personal responsibility. go figure. constitutional values and core values is what made the nation great. if that is wrong to defend to make those stronger so that opportunity in america always stays here, i bring it on. we need not to fight but to

come together. we're all americans. whether to party or a moderate. lou: you are believed you were told he is coming after you with $50 million to spend against the party candidates. you don't have a choice you are told you are done. mitch mcconnell is after you. in the tea party cannot just sit there to say i am righteous to be all-american pile you have to have a response? >> we do. unfortunately or fortunately they don't vote for us. the people we stay connected to are the ones that will determine who will be there. a perfect example is the moneyayor bloomberg and bill gates spent in colorado , a $10 mlion to get about the initiative.

lou: but to the point lead influence the way you think your vote? part you concerned about your party? you have the chamber of commerce and mitch mcconnell and john boehner and others involved with the sam efforts so what about the republican party? >> they need to come together. with the infighting and the fractions is from lack of a common vision and a goal for america. not a republican and democratic idea but the american idea that we can rally around. kennedy did that and reagan did that. lou: hallelujah but what you seem to be missing is that it is about your party right now the way you were led and what is going on. we are well aware what is wrong with the country we are worried if you can stay together long enough to be coherent long enough to fix

it. >> we will. i always look forward to a good challenge. i have four older brothers as far as being bullied. we will survive. lou: i appreciate it. thank you so much. dow jones industria average starts the week with the triple digit losses and my guest joins me next to tell us why. us why. what is happening?

lou: do want to talk about your buck? [laughter] we better turn to the matter at hand which is is a strange interpretation. 180-point drop in the dow jones industrial average now with is a direction? [laughter] >> you know better than anybody 3% last year we have had a remarkable stock market lot of people watching were so berndt by the last decade defensehey don't trust it. lou: to dated made the right judgments. >> it is down 1% to day but up 30% last year. real dollars it is 28% but the real world is the stos continue when probably degeneration says i

don't want this. there is virtually no correction in 2013. lou: why should there be one? with these lofty levels. >> unfortunately there is so much history that shows how long it can be an anomaly. there is volatility the smart people say i don't want a part of it. lou: but looking overall strong outlook from earnings. a pretty good rebound from housing. to the fundamentals suggest if we do have a correction and i presume you mean a full 10%? >> between five and 10 percent is what is correction in. lou: you are a pundit. >> yes. between five and 10%. [laughter] at the end of the day nobody knows where the market goes short.

long term peoplhave shown shown, but in the meantime it could be all over the place and. lou: it is never a good thing when goobers starts to talk long term. >> and in large part for the reasons you talk about is the evaluations of the company that we own in the u.s. is still quite reasonable relative to inflation and interest rates >> ireland to borrow because there were problems throat europe barring a 14% because peoe thought they would go out of business and the banks had to bail them out but this week they barred at 3.two 5% almost matching the united states. lou: now is the insurance companies. your outlook is for a

correction and? >> nobody knows when it will come. but i think though bull market is intact thinking about doing something whenever the correction is ou should consider getting in. lou: as always. >> good luck with the book. lou: good luck with that correction. >> i will buy your book with the money that i save.

lou: joining us now is the

"a team" good to have you with us. the hillary clinton in the hit list reported the by the political authors what do you make of it? >> i believe it that hillary clinton has a hit list of what is astonishing is she continues to show entitlement to the presidency and the united states of america. she should be worried about the hit list that is out on her. the way she handled ben gauzy quite frankly. it is astonishing. lou: my guess ey're out there. >> what difference does it make? it will be much more problematic for heard a and

a hit last that she mayor may not have known about. to be more zealous. lou: republican group running these ads. it is strange. >> the punitive front runner of chs christie potential demise for the election as well lou: conducing potential demise? in fact, i bet he is not a impeached. >> elected officials from your fair state make that argument. here is the thing. when you take the new investigation not with

hillary clinton and i was standing if we may the supreme court even indicated makes it sound like she is extremely skeptical the of the recess appointments to the nlrb. your thoughts? >> the president thinks he can determine when the senate is in or out of session. it will benteresting from the arguments today less supremes are looking at this i don't think the press can be so sure his appointments will stand. it is a new day.

he has relished his authority one to many times ifhe doesn't like the way congress be paid as he does a run around on the tree back to. he doesn't think congress should have a role in government, i guess. lou: speaking of the clinton candidacy, this president seems to be right now holds up. he is buffered we are not hearing a lot from him. >> no. but i predict we will see much more of him and certainly on friday when he talks about the change or reform for the nsa. lo do you remember the time the national media was very careful with rds and would not use reform work proposals for plants are not give away the word because it is so obviously
