11:01 pm
hostages held by al qaeda and an american aid worker among those. we will discuss the president's handling of the tragedy and former u.n. ambassador. field of the warehouse exceeds to keep though waters clear of the reships the ayatollah is supreme leader apparently deciding it is easier to stage attacks on and off aircraft carriers say and expect to survive the awesome firepower of the theodore roosevelt. the ayatollah turned tail and turkish ships with him. we begin with another round of explosive allegations against the clinton family. the foreign government donations to the clinton delegation were pavement for political favors and influence. hillary is not commenting but her daughter is. fox news correspondent ed
11:02 pm
henry has the report. >> chelsea clinton to takes on a bigger role as our family deals with the crisis runs to the defense of the foundation battered by allegations that foreign governments received favors in exchange for hefty donations during her mother's time as secretary of state. >> it will be even more transparent to eliminate any questions in this time to take government funding but i think that is the right choice for the people who are affected by that work. >> she was present on the panel of women's rights faster if they took money from saudi arabia with the abysmal record on human rights it is small allegations another in the pile up but they pocketed millions of dollars tied to a business deal that allowed russian president clinton to
11:03 pm
corner the market on american uranium production a deal signed off in part by hillary clinton despite the official memorandum signed by advisers to clinton and obama advisors to avoid the conflict. >> their goal was to ensure even the appearance of a conflict of interest was avoided by insuring there was greater disk -- transparency. >> now they will file at least by the annual tax returns after a reuters review found major errors how they reported donations but "the washington post" revealed clinton was paid at least 20 million in speaking fees from entities that are also major donors to the foundation leaving the carly fiorina to say it is the clinton way to bring in million from foreign governments behind closed doors while making promises
11:04 pm
about transparency they never intend to keep. >> nobody has produced evidence that she took action to help the clinton and foundation donors and. >> is impossible to view this delegation is anything but another conspiracy theory -- ferry from the clinton cash book. >> he is and just going after clinton or the democrats but the next project will starkly more dash likely target jeb bush. >> and on another big subject house special committee on benghazi declared he wants clinton to testify in may or june not just on the terror attacks but also her e-mail. lou: ed henry. for joining us former chief of staff john sununu. great to have you with us.
11:05 pm
this statement by a the clinton counselors saying there is no evidence. that bonn office of the country's uranium was put into the hands of the russian government from the shell company and under this president and former secretary of state. >> does of unseemly of making a decision and him raising his fees at five 1000's and getting 500,000 to make a decision on the russian deal all kinds of little problems all over the place and as bacchant -- as bad as they looked individually but if you tie that together looks worse.
11:06 pm
that is why she had the independent server for her emails because even innocuous from somebody making a contribution would provide evidence of a tie in on a given date and time. so those 30,000 dishy raise claiming they were private were in fact, in the opinion of many people evidence of additional wrongdoing. they have tied their capacity to make money in the private side with public-service. lou: let's put this up if we may. the graphic in chronological order we begin with russians eating control one-fifth of all uranium production secretary of state clinton signed off of the deal clinton foundation receives 2.5 in donations linked to
11:07 pm
your radium and bill clinton gets half a million for his speech linked to the radium one investment banking and canadian miners donated to the clinton foundation they failed to disclose any of those nations and the fact is we only know about this because of canadian reporting requirements that is damning for the state department, the clinton and global initiative the president's former secretary of state and president obama? >> is. those are the things i am talking about. each one individually in many cases this is bad as it stands but the picture is 100 times worse as they're all together. >> this is the committee on foreign investment in the
11:08 pm
united states it is an extraordinary tale and it is inconceivable to me this took place about the knowledge of the president or the commerce secretary or the members who have not even been mentioned to this point. >> they probably did not know about the contributions it would be up to the secretary of state to put something on the table and that it not take place. lou: they do have an obligation to follow the foundation that is tied to the family but turning over one-fifth of u.s. uranium to the russian government three front company would set off alarm bells with a strategic boundaries on foreign capital in this country.
11:09 pm
>> there was a record to bring in fuel from russia as part of the weapons reduction program. it might have gotten quote-unquote lost in the sense this is just a part of the extension of that. but the people that know all the details were bill and hillary clinton. lou: this is not beloved old of conduct but maybe but we come to expect of this president and his administration but not the level we went to see in our next president. so what do you think of the author of the book clinton cash and is making these revelations? he said his next subject is jeb bush. >> this is the season for
11:10 pm
books by and about candidates. all you can do is sit back and wait. lou: we will do little more than that. great to have you with us. much more on the scandal coming up and this weekend fox news reporting the tangled clinton web break here on fox business at the special is on 6:00 p.m. just before our broadcast. the secret service seems incapable to avoid the public disappointment revealing the secret service to add more than one year to replace a broken alarm system in the home of president h. debut bush in houston and was finally replaced last year after the recommendation in 2010 almost five years ago that the alarm was likely to fail because it was more than 25

11:17 pm
joining us to discuss the retreat is former ambassador to the united nations contributor john bolton. the president orders the roosevelts into the region to interdict the iranians were to keeps the shipping lanes open and it appears that both missions have been accomplished although it is not clear which was preeminent. >> i don't think the white house understood the implications but i think the pentagon did. if they believe this a reading convoy was intended to provide weapons and an ammunition for the coalition with this to fit -- a surface-to-air missiles obviously for now that mission has been foiled because there was a show of
11:18 pm
force along with the saudis and egyptians and they're not willing to chance it. whenever the president intended it did have the right results. lou: and the ayatollah turning tail after his burst of bravado after they said they go into the waters of yemen but as long as three months conducting operations but now in a complete reversal. >> for now. tomorrow we could break up to see something different. lou: one day at a time. 32 is the rebels of saudi egyptian coalition air strikes against the major
11:19 pm
targets what do you make of the progress on the part of that progress and what to expect in the days and weeks ahead? >> but they all play the same strategy which is talking and fight simultaneously facing with there light to do is see a political resolution to put in a government that they can deal with and they're fighting for a vintage of a political negotiation and have a sense that was a factor in the iranian decision not to force us issue with the supply ships it could go on and quite some time as order has broken down. the saudis don't have the military position that they
11:20 pm
one attends the continued air strikes. lou: but the china's statement. china more is that north korea has 20 warheads at its disposal with the ability to produce twice that number over the next year. what do you make of though warning and the number three and capabilities and intentions? direct this is a stunning statement that should be front-page news. an estimate of the capabilities far exceeding what the united states or south korea had said for quite some time and the demonstration that economic sanctions cannot stop the state determined to have nuclear weapons. north korea has the capacity of nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles that
11:21 pm
makes them a threat. if you look at north korea compared to a iran you can see why economic sanctions will not bring iran to its knees this is the state but the past 15 years has failed miserably. lou: has you conflate the u.s. and chinese diplomacy there is the implication they are like-minded sharing goals when it seems that administration over administration that china has more than a passing interest and the ability to create considerable mischief in the region. >> i take china at its
11:22 pm
worded it comes as the surprise. they don't wait for those promises that were tried as failed is the follow-through. to change the regime behavior for even to change the regime. this is the time to have a very serious talk about eliminating the regime in north korea and has been the policy since 1945. lou: with north korea at least it is understandable with laxalt -- lack of proximity but north korea's total dependence with the 20
11:23 pm
warheads with the capacity to double that suggest clearly something is amiss is in the national security team for a very long time as we awaken to that reality of the emerging power of china. >> this is the utter futility with the failure of economic sanctions they could bring in the regime in a heartbeat with a lot of humanitarian assistance. this is the time. china should be very worried the north koreans will sell anything to anybody. and in 2007 to come back to
11:24 pm
iran. we don't know the extent but we should be very worried about it. lou: we are way over time but help us understand quickly why did china make this announcement today? >> they're very concerned about japan is out of control that we should have understood 20 years ago and this is an opportunity that i doubt the administration will take. lou: john bolton. votes in the poll tonight to do you believe the clintons make a good argument for those that oppose political dynasty in america? they're jobs.com.

11:31 pm
helplessness he felt he could not and do the tragedy acknowledging he could do or say to ease their heartache there is much he could have done to be far more respectful to those families he was hosting the super bowl team at the white house. his schedulers lot to have the commander in chief express publicly his grief to families gone wrong but then celebrate the nfl championship with the ad read:patriots to double-team >> i usually tell a bunch of jokes but with the patriots in town i thought it 11 out of 12 would fall flat. [laughter] okay.
11:32 pm
i blow that a little out of proportion spirit that is hardly the first time they have demonstrated in under by dash and utter lack of sensitivity but to failure to address the be paid -- beheading then 50 minutes before his conclusion he was back on the links in martha's vineyard. in 2012 he allegedly slipped through the night as terrorists attacked the consulate in benghazi killing four americans. the next day he found it appropriate to fly to las vegas for a campaign fund-raiser. he may not expect better of his schedulers or planners or himself but the rest of us do and we the people should still better our expectations should be mitt
11:33 pm
what is becoming of america? the importance of american exceptionalism at home and abroad and our expectations of ourselves apologizing a have anti-americanism but if it is done without acknowledging the sins of america are the sins of mankind then it all leader in transitory applauses and a lasting contempt that we do not believe the end of values that we profess. we will be right back. all of the leaders in the g.o.p. field are within a few points of one another is there a front runner?

11:38 pm
>> his last name smith or jones he will lead the not pre-eminence maybe not lapping the field but in a very strong position in with the former two-time governor but his last name is seen as a dash by democrats and rand republicans and independents lou: his mother was right. [laughter] >> our poll shows that hillary clinton by comparison the best thing she has going for her is her last name that people like her husband has 60 your 65%
11:39 pm
people like him. and rand they don't trust her but they like him in the last name it is seen as a positive generally. but republicans are thinking about this as the contest between the two if bush is the dash then you know what might happen if clinton is a positive. lou: it is way too early but there are only a couple points separating the presumed for runners. >> we're looking at polling for marco rubio the poll tells us the launch went well his name recognition and went up and he is getting more positive but jeb bush regency overtired as the name identification goes up his negatives are going up people save now.
11:40 pm
him and christie that republicans say not him. it is not too soon to look at a trendline and we can pick out the top tier and then the not top. lou: and also announced. more to come. i get a kick out of switzer he is a terrific journalist and a writer and already talking about his jeb bush book? >> butted this march because he waited until the clintons got so far out over their skis they said he was anti-gay, the big hit, a scurrilous dog, a koch brothers send right over the huskies he said did i mention my riding a bush

11:42 pm
guy over here. [laughter] >> i will make canada an offer he cannot refuse. lou: he went on to show a president whispering in hillary clinton's year calling get out what you can. one of the western hemisphere's most dangerous volcanoes is proving why it has that reputation. next.

deals such as the trans pacific partnership designed to open trade from the pacific rim countries that account for 40 percent of the global economy also the largest could say of services export market. joining us rudy's capital markets john lonski. every time i hear this about free trade or nafta but the results seem to be another year of trade deficits and mounting attacks journal that and a loss of jobs. was reminiscing? >> look at the data you don't really see this activity but despite it we
11:48 pm
have had a middle-class living standards decline since 2004 so the benefits are hard to notice if anybody is benefiting it is corporations and shareholders. lou: the market's move higher as wages for middle-class decline is shrinking? >> at least in terms of its purchasing power. they have declined by 13% and they're sure that is still going on today. >> the commerce department of labor department and of them keep track of the offshore of production overseas space keeps track of the impact or the consequence of the federal
11:49 pm
government. >> the primary reason why the economic growth that used to be between three and 3.5% is now about 2.5% -- 2.25%. lou: of the republican party continues to be a slave to the u.s. chamber of commerce but it's not servants of the people we will see a disaster. he is moving ahead of every american should run like hell. >> with the lack of transparency if a corporation move to more opaque accounting system shareholders would on the open arms but this is how politicians get the funding they need to be reelected. lou: every time you hear a
11:50 pm
journalist or a politician talk about the impact of free trade in-house -- you are listening to a buffoon because there is no empirical evidence for the vote from the senate or the president and the republicans you don't trust this president on any national issue at the same time as the suit in federal court over extending the powers of the presidency with abuse of power was to give them their power to govern trade. what mindlessness? day michelis get the benefit of loaf inflation that people cannot take up -- advantage of because they don't have the income. lou: they give for being here.
11:51 pm
watch those politicians closely and watch -- listen to my financial report three times a day of the salem radio network. ashes filling the skies in chile after the eruption and for the first time in 42 years thousands have been evacuated around the base remnants of the explosion shooting up 7 miles. airports within 600 miles have been closed because of for visibility. the president sought by the champions and never missed a ceremony. we take it up with the "a team".

. lou: joining us tonight, national review investigative reporter jillian kay melchior, and michael murphy, thanks for being here both of you. your story on msnbc, four hosts taxes. >> tax liens or warrants taken out against them. lou: these are the same folks spewing nonsense about redistribution and don't pay their own? >> they don't pay their own, and call for the rich to pay
11:56 pm
their fair share. these hosts have big contracts making a lot of money. the tax situation has gone the to the point where a tax warrant or lien is filed against them. there's a tax burden for a lot of americans, if you're going to go out and preach you got to live by your own rule. lou: four of the anchors, correct? >> al sharpton as high as 4.5 million dollars. melissa harris perry. neil: in federal taxes. >> melissa harris perry had two state warrants filed against her. taree 50,000. and joy reed about 5,000. lou: do they explain what they're doing? it looks like you've got an epidemic over there. >> it's definitely become a pattern. most americans are sympathetic to $5000 in tax debt. if you're not saying tax the rich. if you're not saying we need to
11:57 pm
raise taxes across the board. that's what they've done, and that's what bothers people. lou: what does the network say? >> no comment. i called and tried to talk with them whether they viewed as bureaucracy, no comment. >> the only thing i saw, i think you agree with me these things are worked out. lou: some of them are being worked out for quite some time now. >> yeah, yeah. lou: that's good for attorneys but not necessarily a positive. >> it's not good spin. as the democrat on dobbs maybe i'll say our taxes are too high and perhaps msnbc might agree with us. lou: this might be the foundation, inflection point they're going to move to a more prudent fiscal policy advocacy. wouldn't be that wonderful? hillary clinton this is looking like the clintons have designs of being the most corrupt family in american politics. >> i will embrace that notion,
11:58 pm
lou, when i picked up the paper this morning, i was absolutely astonished and it wasn't in the washington times or some arguably right wing paper of the "new york times," broke the story. it arose out of a hoover institution report. it was devastating. lou: and we find out because of the canadian government requires reporting week find out the secretary of state when hillary clinton when she was secretary of state, from 2009 to 2012 over that period of time the russian takeover of a company uranium one based in toronto that has control of the fifth of united states uranium deposits she signed off on sifa signed off on this. is an administration that turned over a strategically critical operation to the russian government operating a
11:59 pm
shell company. >> so much to address there. i think one of the things that is appalling to me. she told the obama white house we're going to report our donors. we're going to report our corporate donors with this one that is happening at a very sensitive time. where she was the decision-maker, she didn't report it. i want to know why that is and perhaps it's on the server. >> perhaps the best and worst thing that happened to hillary clinton is bill clinton. she was busy being secretary of state when the clinton foundation was raising money and doing their good work but this story has legs. lou: looks like corruption was being distracted by her energies being devoted to this department of state. i take your point. >> we shall see. lou: thanks so much. great reporting as always. time for a look at our online poll results --
12:00 am
looks like work there to do. thanks for beg starts now. jamie: a cowboy inherits a baron patch of prairie. >> it is not big enough. >> beneath the soil he finds prehistoric treasure. >> this is one of the most important discoveries of this century. >> this is a job -- will this cow poke's "strange inheritance" lead him to a boom or bust? >> lightning does not strike in the same place very often maybe never
