>> if she disnot she risks being labeled as something with something to hide, she is lucky the way that house and senate committees handled her testimony on benghazi. you don't learn anything in the public hearings that has not been public. we need hours of deposition, and witness interviews with people before we have public hearing that is the right way to proceed. lou: the presumption being if the former secretary does not cooperate, she would forfeit her opportunity to run for president. at least successfuly. >> i think it would impair her ability, her only real claim of experience in being the branch is 4 years of secretary of state, a record of accomplishment is thin in the

benghazi debalk old top is a problem. >> is if remark an she i -- reme she becomes focus, but this goes beyond the state department this involves cia also, and the administration. and the president of the united states he seems again to be out man everyinmaneuvering question, congress, and judicial watch. >> having served in three republican administrations, the subject of congressional inquiries, demands for documents and the like, i am stunned at what the obama administration has been able to withhold, if we tried that, we would have been made toast by media. when i was up for confirmation, joeed by know demanded drafts of speeches i had given, not the

text but drafts, that is one example. yet this administration, hands over the minimal number the documents heavily redacted and the press yawns. lou: turn to ukraine. 30 pro russian separatists were killed by ukrainian forces. the violence is escalateing. no question. it is still relatively contained. what are your thoughts about united states should be doing right now, to forestall any fur movfurther move by putin in ukraine. >> we have lost 5 years really since obama took offers, pressing the famous reset broughton with russia. -- reset button with russia, they saw in moscow, correctly, as weakness, you have to make a decision whether we chair that putin can change boundaries, real economy sanctions, sweeping, beating well enforceed economic sanctions and political

stips like bringing ukraine and georgia on the route to nato member. >> no question that united states looks impotent in the face of use of force by vladimir putin, no question. nato itself, ton people talk abt being threatened it seems bereft of energy, and relevance. >> this is a crisis sorry nato, europeans take fe taken it to gt refuge, but americans dragging european along this happen the time again, this is an american alliance that requires americanl leadership, that we are not supplies. lou: when we to make of what looks to be a importance strategyic sweep by the

russians, working with the chinese on naval exercises. at the same time, chinese the russians, adhereing closer to iran. this looks like the creation of an iron triangle with long-term stragic ambitions. >> potentially it is. china is an energy-henry country, no body is watching what is happening in ukraine more closely than china. as you just said china sea is nato's weakness, they calculate to themselves if putin is get gecan getaway with it in ukrainn get away with it in the waters off our shore. lou: thank you ambassador, massachusets announce plan to ditch their on-line insurance

day. i would like to see what inspector jenin general has to t no doubt there needs to be a shake up, as a doctor, i have been pleading with this, we have too many people in place that never been in a private sector or in a situation why they need to pro dice and be appreciate -- produce and be appreciate. lou: amongst those i respect, a number of retired generals who have views on shinsake and veteran's affairs, they have not been eager to call for shinsake's resignation, with that call, out, this is a very difficult course for him.

>> we need a real moral change within the system, that itself may be good enough, i mitt last week, we took 4 doctors from va committee and met with administrative people, it took me a year to get to this points to talk about the inefficiencies of what goes on. this took me a year to get to this points, we got to it one thing they said is we're going to be more efficient, we have to change attitudes of people that work in the va's they are used to a slower pace that leads to that back up, so many people on waiting lists. it does not have to be that way. lou: and there seems to be an integrity issue in the va, that is where the lists, some cases hidden records, and the alleged deaths because of an intrackable

bureaucracy within the va . >> this is unacceptible, it turns my stomach as a care provider that we could get to a situation like this, with our veterans especially, i don't know how people sleep at night, and we have got to make changes, our veterans deserve it, i will willing to lead the charge with other members of the va commit and doctors, we're eager to jump in to make a change for our veterans. >> i think it is safe to say, all americans are eager for you and your colleagues to fix this. fix it mighty quick. >> this is a stain, a stain on your history. and we could do better, fortunately we have people that are going to fight to make sure we do. i hope it does not take too long. lou: all right congressman thank you. >> thank you, sir. >> country's largest veterans group is the american legion,

up-to-date on the primary season which began today. stay with us, we're coming right back.

people in other parts go to work. that's not a coincidence. it's one more part of our commitment to america.

lou: welcome back, now quotation of the evening, washington is generating so much rhetoric these days, i think it is easy to assume for manufacture americans this is the way a great nation operates in its capital city, but it is not. as our history demonstrates, words are never a sufficient match for action. >> teddy roosevelt was without doubt a quotable man of action. he said, rhetoric is a poor substitute for action, and we have trusted only to rhetoric if we're really to be a great nation we must not mere plea merely talk we mustag act big. i know we have quoteed teddy roosevelt in two consecutive broadcasts, teddy by the way, teaches us well.

we choose to honor him for so doing. lou: turning to current political atmosphere with about 181 days remaining until midterms. and auction season is underway now. primaries held in 3 states, including two battle grounds we turn to fox news chief political correspondent carl cameron with us. >> an easy way to remember, today is 6 months to the election day, so much of what is happening really is captured with what is going on in north carolina today. republican primary, multicandidate field, takeing on vulnerible senate democrat kay hagen. front-runner house speaker tom till is in north carolina, backed by jeb bush.

if tillis gets 40% he will win will nomination, that is it otherwise it goes to a run off, he has two rivals, greg brandon, then pastor mark harris, a well-known baptist minister in north carolina. he is getting help from mike houk huckabee, 3 candidates and 3 white house hopefuls. they are all in place. play, tomorrow, watch for, highwaohio,gov kasich is up fort is expected that county executive. ed fitzgerald would be nominee. kasich is favored in the fall.

now, all of this 2014, and 2016 congressional and white house overlap, has an impact. marco rubio, who has been quiet, is now in a chamber of commerce ad for cory gardner, republican nominee who is neck-and-neck in colorado against democratic incumbant mark udal. >> washington is risking when make america great, threatening what makes us unique, cory gardner, will help change all that. >> cory gardner is going after democrat that democratic party did not think they would have to worry about much, now super pacs, national outside interests pouring money into the state, rubio hopes to help mr. gardner and pick up ious in what could be a key state, and he endorseed

ed jody ernst, in iowa. friday rubio heading to new hampshire we will give a big gl gal. gala. we'll see major primaries of virtually every tuesday day, at end that will give us a pretty good thing with things stand between the tea party and the establishment. you know it is getting bad when they say, maybe we can rely on our ads. it is looking tough for democrats and republicans are getting increasingly confident. lou: i infer from when you said, if we say a senator or governor or former governor involved in endorseing candidates, we can just assume they are going to run for president in 2016. that is looks to be the play?

in these cases that is it they are trying to share their endorsement with candidates they think best represent the type of electorate in republican party they can court, in ron paul's case, libertarian leaning type tea partyers, and candidate in north carolina tomorrow, huckabee, who has not said whether he will run but he has been to iowa and new hampshire, he won iowa caulk us in 2008, and tpofpler gove former govern. he is endorseing a fellow pastor. this has a level of overlap. for republicans they suggestion they are eager for 14 expecting wins they see stal tailwinds pug sails strongly toward 2016, hillary clinton weighed in on gun debate today, said there has to be a tightening unyo up of rs and laws, well worth remembers in '90s when bill spadea was

[laughter] that she loved him like a father? >> but she also said there was no sexual relationship. who knows? she also said she was his

right-hand and his arm and it was complete nonsense. >> i did not have? without woman? come on. lou: but she is not a politician. [laughter] >> but she did not leak the recording she did it at his behest. that is what she says that she did it i am just reporting. >> he wanted her to record them then he said that knowing that? if you believe that i can sell you a bridge in brooklyn. >> and credibility does not matter much. and he said talking to a number of firms it looks like the nba has a fight.

>> he is very litigious any way but now looking at losing the money in losing face. but the argument could be yes i signed off with a contract but i did not give away my constitutional right you cannot take away that right to private property. >> but they have language such as conduct inimical to the nba and the sport. they can rely on that. but he will have the position i did not violate the provisions in the charter. so there is the free-speech argument. so there was no racial epithets. and i realize the way

sentiment goes but but they will look at the billable hours. >> no. [laughter] >> as a you suggest this process that has been taken here he has not been given due process. >> but there will be one. and the people circling? this is about money. assume for the sake of argument the nba had reason to know they he was racist. so you say why didn't they address it? but this time it was such a public outcry.

>> but the people who will now enforce that against him with everything that they use as the basis to sell his team, what kind of standing do they have? >> it cannot be enforced unless it is illegal to. >> you are stopped from arguing your conduct a violates the rules over 20 years and you ratified that. >> but there is no legal arguments. >> biggest the illegal contract because it goes against federal law for for seven rights. -- for first amendment

rights. >> if they stripped him of his property unfairly also the first amendment free speech rights that could be more reports sent superego over the contract. that is the argument. lou: in reality the natural reflex because he is a litigious owner. >> a great point. he will litigate and tie it up. >> to say that she is in part owner and in concurrence with the nba as they try to take the team. how complicated? >> now with a divorce proceeding. but that is another strategy to initiate the divorce not that i am trying to give him advice but initiate then

that ties that property. lou: don't worry about the advice because there's so much money. your respective of the issue of funding without question. the nba and everyone else this is about money. >> and public opinion is a funny thing. they're not sanguine about taking away based of the case. lou: we have to leave it there. thank you. up next the struggles with law enforcement on the mexican border and the new book "border war" i am joined by my co-author of the book former dea agent top florida law enforcement

that is the border. what i have been struck by and there is no corruption on this side. all of those issues is quite an experience for me as a first timer to one's imagination. it is quite a journey. >> fiction is a lot of fun. my first novel published tenures ago i read an article by one of the first cops turn to writers and he talked about how he was sued on some of the nonfiction books and that does not have been in fiction. that was enough to keep me all the interested in fiction. but that does not mean you
