and ed would ins. tammy, is it your sense that former secretary of state is concerned about that committee? >> it seems to be, i'm wondering, they say nothing was wrong, it was fine. why they would be concerned. all of us want the truth. at least that is what everyone says. if you are involved in that situation. her friend was ambassador steven. you would think she would want to know what occurred, since now we realize it was not the youtube video. this is going to open a dynamic that will make it clear to the american people what happened, it is disturbing that former secretary of state seems concerned about what the results uswill be. lou: this will have some influence, negative or positive on republican opportunity as well as democrats in the midterms, because people will have a sense of a direction of it.

>> we don't know the full story, we have 8 investigations by various committee, but the facts are not out there, have to dig through thousands of dimes to find out -- documents to find out what congress even knows, we had an american ambassador murdered and three other americans murdered. make sure it does not happen again, but also important is the cia was involved. he was there for some reason, what were the reasons. lou: turn to washington post, usually reliable washington post, for obama administration, dana, coming out just slapping the president around. president passive. i mean this is strong a break as i've seen between mill bank and this president who has been comforting to the interest to the obama administration, nothing comforting today. >> the president felt

comfortable being passive aggressive, putting things off through reports, waiting for other investigations now 5 or 6 years, the press has allowed them to do it whether the keystone pipeline, "fast and furious" or benghazi. they seem to be shocked over his handling of the v.a., and steuz his style in general. but nothing has changed in his style, now a realizing that there is say bryce to pay, media in their allowing of him to behave in this manner for so long, they are complacent in nature of his failure. >> national media taken a holiday prematurely, with upcoming ukraine election. there has been very little written, national liberal media ignoring what is happening

there. in nearly ever ervin romans majr news -- every major news outlet, this is yoreiou serious stuff. >> very serious, a little bit of reporting but not much analysis of that big china and russia oil deal that is a huge deal. we're talking about doing a twist to the asian community, russians there are spending putin himself, spending 3 days with chairman to get the deal done, this is a big deal, that gives them an independence and lets them brush aside whatever sanctions we put. the veterans thing, it has the potential of becoming a bigger issue than benghazi. it is clear, people understand it. we are expecting our veterans to be taken care of, this did not stop on president obama's watch, they knew it from the beginning, it needs to be fixed.

>> it has gotten worse under his watch. lou: looking at our on-line poll results. whether you believe in political influepbgs oinfluence of the cld tea party is exaggerateed? do you find it interesting that boning thating thatobama adminio longer calling its many scandals, phony? cast your votes. >> france committed a costbly mistake after buying $20 billion of trains that are too wide to fit their train stations. a slight oversight. i guess close enough for government work, engineers checking specs but did not measure actual distances between the tracks and the platform, that will cost $68 million to fix, maybe it's karma with that

$2 billion arms being going ahead with russia, those two ships moved in to the black sea over the next year to a year and a half. >> up next, my commentary on hypocrisy revealed when big business trying to push, really, really appealing social political policy. stay with us. all stations come over to mission a for a final go.

lou: coming up tonight, redeye cohost taking of the president's latest tibbett sports. the get out of dodge attitude with this pivots asia as well. in our upcoming guest prevailed in a seven way republican senate primary in georgia. we will introduce you to our highly successful business man david perdue, who now appears likely to win the gop senate nomination. but first, a few thoughts on business realities. the messaging of some of our

best-known companies that are posing as something that they simply are not. it as if some businesses have chosen to follow the lead with savvy political strategist rather than corporate american media branding strategists. companies like levi's, starbucks, and triple take am now going to great lengths to persuade their customers that the organizations are socially conscious and environmentally friendly and they incidentally also produce a product that they want to zoner customers want to buy. take levi's. and their customers watch the genes made by too much, they said, too often. that is how they are handling it. their solution is stop watching your genes and save the world.

>> 50% of the water usage is consumed by the time the consumer gets their genes. the other 50% is after the consumer starts watching them all the time. >> you take ownership of that? >> we're trying to educate the consumers and these are one of my favorite jeans. they are maybe a year old and these have yet to see a washing machine. i know that sounds totally disgusting. lou: he is trying to educate his consumers. and it sounds like taking the ownership for levi jeans, reporting its own responsibility. and the company uses 50% of the water, the consumer gets 100% of

the responsibility. i am shocked at the that the company didn't just quit making and selling those genes in order to demonstrate their commitment to the environment and i think that would've been the decent thing to do. for that kind of thinking, they did $9.5 million per year is a levi's dl. another is aaa. the fast food chain that puts out animated cartoons about the evils of genetically modified food and no, they don't like guns either. want to make sure you understand that. and what are they doing about, they haven't said much else. i wonder if they might read this with the two chief executives. more than $24 million in total

compensation last year, very nice. but what about starbucks? they have coffee and tea and cocoa. think about how that works. expand this. a starbucks ceo said he would support a minimum wage increase. starbucks, however, the business filament at the national restaurant association, which is lobbying intergenic lee against any such increase. i get it. soft and gooey messages, they re, wales and a lot of others this includes creating jobs and wealth.

and i which are businesses and n again, i am just a capitalist. we are coming right back. lou: coming up next, gunfire in the south china sea. fox news national security >>

lou: the vietnamese prime minister says he was considering various defense options against china after the deployment to the south china sea. china evacuated more than 3,000 citizens from vietnam's sending ships to retrieve more violent protests leading to the death of six chinese

citizens. joining us now we have k.t. mcfarland. this combined with martial law in thailand carried out with the military now looks like a real hot spot. >> selfie stage a we have not paid attention to that but now it bubbles up. why? in part to because china opposite -- pushes the situation rather china claims the south china sea territory where they claim basically rocks that have no real significance except what is around the island which is all the resources. >> the vietnamese are sending very strong signals

it is quite to the opposite. >> they did not anticipate that. they will not be a problem that there is over 100 ships in the region. there reallyshl)@ aren't fishing votes there are real chinese navy. that they had said demonstrations nobody wants this to be a crisis. lou: when you say no one did it as if the united states and allies want to deny everything and putin in china $400 billion with china russia strategically advantage as a result, the sanctions in terms of impact

>> you are right to point this out more than buying the natural-gas potentially an alliance. in the 1970's economically politically militarily the great achievement was to break that alignment. we have enjoyed united states said dominance in the world. that is about to change because of they get together not only selling each other goods to develop them sell to russia and other goods you can see a relationship between the two and is the entire american and allied hands. >> what is your instinct

with the consequences with the result? to make it got what it wanted it is the weekend government and the eastern part of the ukraine. lou: all this discussion we have not mentioned the foreign policy that speaks very loudly. >> absolutely. lou: thank you very much. a reminder to vote in the online poll. do you find interesting the administration is no longer called the scandals cody? tweet your response and what do you think about that question mark north carolina police that rob day barbecue restaurant at gunpoint. a sign is posted their reeds no weapons. kid you imagine?

and another said no concealed firearms. we will be right back. >> teapartier doesn't have much luck in the primary elections coming up victorious one step closer to the republican nomination and joins us next. i'm randy and i quit smoking with chantix.

for 33 years i chose to keep smoking... ...because it was easier to smoke than it was to quit. along with support, chantix (varenicline) is proven to help people quit smoking. it's a non-nicotine pill. chantix reduced the urge for me to smoke. it actually caught me by surprise. some people had changes in behavior, thinking or mood, hostility, agitation, depressed mood and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix. if you notice any of these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away. tell your doctor about any history of mental heal problems, which could t worse while taking chantix. don't take chantix if you've had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it. if you develop these, stop chantix and see your doctor right away as some could be life threatening. tell your doctor if you have a history of heart or blood vessel problems, or if you develop new worse symptoms. get medical help right away if you have symptoms of a heart attack or stroke. use caution when driving or operating machinery. common side effects include nausea, trouble sleeping and unusual dreams. i did not know what it was like to be a non-smoker. but i do now. ask your doctor if chantix is right for you. when folks think about wthey think salmon and energy.

but the energy bp produces up here creates something else as well: jobs all over america. engineering and innovation jobs. advanced safety systems & technology. shipping and manufacturing. across the united states, bp supports more than a quarter million jobs. when we set up operation in one part of the country, people in other parts go to work. that's not a coincidence. it's one more part of our commitment to america.

lou: now the word of the evening, aspired to retain or seek a more accomplished a goal or desire to direct hopes and ambitions. on wall street stocks posting modest gains the dow up 10 points the nasdaq rose 23. volume on the big board and

the two republicans and favorites david perdue beating back the tea party challengers. and also former dollar general ceo. congratulations. that was a tough battle. what made the difference? >> good to see you again. we presented the voters with an alternative. with for career politicians i have never run for office before. the message that we put out really resonated that is the reason why we showed up so well. lou: as we move forward as we describe the opponents in the primary that trying to tag is a professional

politician? >> after 22 years i don't know what else to describe but we have a ben around a sentiment of concern. and to hold people accountable for the nonsense coming out of washington right now. lou: that is the pretty big basket. what's our the issues using are required in most devoted energetic attention? >> with three into the race was the debt crisis and the economic crisis. and is the greatest threat to national security. i guided here because i believe so few people with the business background we need to provide an alternative that could go add value to the crisis at

bay how to get the economy moving again to put america back to work again. lou: you have been described by some as dave mitt romney like a candidate coming from a dynastic family both successful wealthy businessmen. how do you respond to that? is it a compliment or something else? >> i think the world of governor romney i wish he was president right now. i come from a great family my cousin was governor but the idea that i was the silver spoon candidate is not supported by the truce. my mother and father were schoolteachers i worked on the farms and worked my way through college.

i was so little surprised. lou: that is happening across the country. so you don't hear many people talking about aspirational goldsmith, american exceptionalism as success is too often vilified as an example of what can be achieved. we we issues of busted your campaign and good to talk with you. david perdue. the post office wants to save $2 billion by not delivering mail. i think the post office about has this figured out. ending delivery instead communal but there have been

people dumping mail but just doesn't matter of routine procedure? this is about as genius as a postal service launching a clothing line and they're supposed to do that later this year. and red hot -- "red eye" co-host on the celebrity president's day of leisure stay with us. we will add it up. next. what i needed was information i could trust on how to take care of me and my baby. luckily, unitedhealthcare has a simple program that helps moms stay on track with their doctors and get the right care and guidance-before and after the baby is born. simple is good right now.
