10:35 am
look at this. back in 2010. hoffa said it was critical to move to get our health care moving again. it is burdening our employers. you remember? and just a now days ago, look at this in a letter to nancy peel pole and harry reid. we can no longer stay silent in the elements of the affordable care act that will destroy the very health and well-being of our members along with millions of other hard working americans. >> that is a change of town. lesly, what is going on here? >> well, this is not a change of tune. it is a change of ven u from behind closed doors. i actually had a timesters representative on my talk she last night and the teamsters and unions support the affordable
10:36 am
care act that everybody calls obama care. but they didn't want. os to be penalized, however it was essential that:e employers not be burdened. we were talking about a public option that was not part of the watered down version. it is not a change for the unions and teamsters president hoffa. saying look, we don't want our employees union to be down graded from full- time position and lose health care and pensions. >> yeah, but lesly, and chris i want you to address this. this discussion has been going on sense the whole debate over the health care plan. you know what is going to happen, right. everyone will move the workers to part time because they will
10:37 am
be overburdened and unable to create businesses and hire more employers. chris what did they not hear when it was discussed? >> to complete it is not a change of tune is absurd. they spent millions getting democrats elected and supporting president obama and lobbying people on capitol hill to get obama care through and they were part of the team and finally as nancy pelosi, you had to vote for the bill to phoned out what is in it. and the unions found out what is in it and it is a nightmare and says that it will destroy the underpennings of a 40 hour work woke. and along comes obama, the destroyers. they read a passage of obama care and realized what is in it.
10:38 am
this is what it is doing to the unions and they will do the same thing for the restest country. >> we'll read more of the letter that was signed by james hoffa and two of the largest hits of the service unions. when you and the president, talking nancy polarmo and harriy arid. when you sought our support, we pledged if wo liked our health care plans we could cope them. sadly that promise is under a threat. and they go on to say, you better deal with this. we raised money to secure this vision and now the vision is coming back to haunt us. i don't know how that is not a change of tune, lesly? >> i don't think it is a change of two. i am a supporter of obama air and i am a union supporters and
10:39 am
democrat. and the unions are saying cope your promise and the guarantee it all americans, union workers and otherwise that we would not have to change the health care plans and employers would not have to change the health care mraven and that's not what they feel is happening. this is not a change of heart on obama care. this is keeping the promise for americans and unions included to pass the support of the legislation. >> that is one spectacular area. >> we all know. to me, the biggest for that this struck in the unions and the issue of moving a full of time worker to part- time. their membership has shrunk and doing okay in the public sector and in the private sector it has shrunk. chris, this is protecting turf for them, is it not?
10:40 am
>> asking for carve outs for themselves. and protections for themselves which they will probably get pause the whole thing is a debacle. one of the freedomary authors senator max ba cchus, a train wreck. and harry reed is agreeing with them. and they are getting out and raising money and find the guys elected and they are artied as the rest of us would be. do we need park bark obama to come out and start over. and leslie, you are fighting the fight and you are trying. but it is in indwes ebl. >> the primary senator wes with them. start over again, shall we?

conversations about this? >> what you're saying is that he thinks the conversation is important but going forward he doesn't feel that he has a sp conversation other than to push a broader agenda? >> wendell goler joins us live from the white house. >> reporter: well, not just the president, but attorney general eric holder also had an opportunity to comment on this case today. he has a speech to the naacp scheduled before george zimmerman was acquitted this weekend like the president, he's likely to take the opportunity to comment. the white house says the justice department investigators will decide whether federal charges are brought against zimmerman and justice officials say federal civil rights statutes covering the shooting are limited. but civil r50i9s leaders have launched a push for a federal prosecution.
11:03 am
>> i'm putting pressure on the legal authorities at the justice department and the legislative authorities in florida. we do not want to be -- i think the president has made the statement of consolation. we don't need consolation. we need legislation. and we need some federal prosecution. >> reporter: there were more protests of the zimmerman verdict last night. there have been instances in which public protests seem to push the federal government to act such as the protests that followed the acquittal of california police officers after the rodney king beating. but attorney general holder suggested yesterday in a speech to the delta significant made sorority what the country needs is didialogue, not necessarily trial. jay carney says it needs to be held in churches and at the community level.jay carney says held in churches and at the community level. >> it is worth while to look at the laws that we have at the
11:04 am
state level and consider them through the prism of gun violence and ask whether or not they are improving the situation with regards to gun violence or in-ed a vert tently making that situation worse. >> he stopped short of directly criticizing florida's stand your ground law. >> all right, wendell, thank you very much. so the attorney general is also under pressure from the naacp who are urging him to bring you new federal charges against george zimmerman. we will be hearing from eric holder in orlando in just a little while from now. and we are keeping an eye on that as it happens. we have new developments as lawmakers seek more answers about why the irs targeted conservatives and other groups seeking tax exempt status. so less than 48 hours from now, we'll hear from some of the key pr
11:05 am
players in this scandal, the people who worked at the tax agency in cincinnati where all of the outrage began across the country. so the head of 9 committee that looked in to this controversy has just announced that three new witnesses will appear before congress at that hearing on thursday. and he joins us now. darrel el issa, good to have yo back again. >> thank you for covering this upcoming hearing. although we've received only 1% of the documents we've asked from the irs, we've interviewed over 12 witnesses and we'll have a smatherring of those on thursday so people can begin to understand that which we know for sure is true. and most importantly, that this was not isolated to cincinnati, but in fact went to washington and then went up the chain from there. >> as i understand it, one of the people that will be testifying is elizabeth, she worked in the continue sincinna,
11:06 am
and she was one of two people who were tasked with a big pile of applications for tax exempt status from tea party groups and conservative groups and they said you need to go through these. she claims that she and her colleague were dumped into the fall guy and that they got their orders directly from washington. will she testify to that in the hearing? >> yes, she will. she's already testified in an interview to exactly that. although she bears some responsibility for not being a whistleblower, that in fact she was taking her orders from washington. she names names. and in the case of carter hall who was in washington, he names names above him including lois lerner. >> so will carter hall testify at this hearing, as well is this because his name was on your list. >> it is. and he will. the expectation is that although
11:07 am
we cannot reach conclusions this early in an investigation, but we will know that stop looking at cincinnati alone. stop looking just at the first level in washington. and look to the people that are in fact being pointed at. as you know the irs is an agency in crisis. we've had multiple hearings on multiple areas of wrong doing and two witnesses taking the fifth which is extremely unusual. >> the president came out when all of this started to erupt and said he was very disturbed by it. he said under no circumstances should we be screening in this way. what has the white house been doing about this issue? polls tell us this is one of the most issues on people's minds right now. >> the white house former head of management and budget to take over that agency. we're working with the acts commission commissioner and we hope to get full cooperation in fixing the
11:08 am
agency. as of right now, our biggest obstruction is of course a ranking member mr. cummings who keeps saying that we know everything we need to know and it's over. and then when corrected, he takes a little while and then he comes back again saying there is nothing there. our second panel is important. and i think this is the one that you mentioned when you said three. russell george, ig and two of his lead people are going to answer the allegations from ranking member cummings that somehow progressive groups were targeted. he's going to, i believe, dissmael, that he ran a nonpartisan investigation and what he found was the holding back of these hundreds of applications by conservative groups and not by progressive groups. >> that's interesting because he was criticized russell george for leaving out the fact that progressives were also targeted in these cases. but you say that he will testify that that was not true.
11:09 am
>> absolutely. and i think i'll use the word targeted very carefully. if you and i do a google search and information comes up and we just grab one file and we go work on it, that's the one we targeted. that's the one we went after. there may have been groups that came up in searches, database searches, but no groups as far as we've got any evidence at all on were ever withheld for weeks, months or years the way the tea party groups were. and that's really when we use the term targeted, we're not talking about a name coming up in a search. we're talking about unreasonable delay as we saw with tea party groups for as much as 27 months. >> well, we know we didn't see those kind of complaints from the other people who were applying. >> exactly. >> so we'll be watching. darrell issa, thank you very much. >> good luck on the birth. >> thank you.
11:10 am
well, fox news alert now. breaking news from capitol hill. we have been covering reports in recent days about threats from senate democrats launching major rules change in the senate. this of course would allow them to approve presidential nominees with a simple majority vote, 51, right? delivering huge new power to the white house. but a number of senators pointed out that while that power would today benefit democrats, it would also give enormous power to republicans when they have the majority. so in just the last hour, we got word of a deal to head this off. and keep in mind this comes after a very rare four hour closed door meeting in the old senate chamber on capitol hill where harry reid says he learned a very valuable lesson because he had a chance to sit down with members of both parties and he learned that sometimes when you tend to listen to other people, you come to different conclusions and keep in mind that what had been a drastic change where you go from just 51
11:11 am
to push these executive nominees into what is currently on there right now, giving both parties is chance to give their filibusters and their points of view. mike emanuel joins us live from capitol hill with more. >> reporter: we expect to hear from the senate majority leader, but the bottom line is it appears that the deal maker in all of this was after a three mus hour meeting late last night when all 100 senators sat down and aired their grievances. we expect to hear from senator reid about the deal in a matter of moments. as we take a live look at what's known as the ohio clock up here on capitol hill. after some tough rhetoric, earlier today the senate majority leader sounded upbeat. >> we'll explain in who are detail the direction we're headed. i think everyone will be happy. everyone will not be, oh, man, we got everything we wanted. but i think it will be something that is good for the senate.
11:12 am
it is a compromise. and i think we get what they want, they get what they want. not a bad deal. >> as part of that deal, the nomination of richard cordray to lead the consumer financial protection bureau moves forward. republicans didn't oppose him personally, they think the agency has too much power. republicans wanted president obama to drop and replace two nominees for the national labor relations board. senator john mccain a key player in the deal sounded relieved. >> i think all of us got to the edge and looked in the abyss. republican and democrats. certainly the overwhelming majority and we stepped back from it. >> reporter: everybody seems to agree the key moment was getting all is 00 senat 100 senators? the room. we will sea how long peace here on capitol hill lasts. >> could be short lived. mike, thank you. well, now that he's ban acquitted, it may be george

11:16 am
while george zimmerman remains in hiding, the spotlight turns to the special prosecutor who led the charge to throw the book at him. even before the jury reached its verdict, some legal experts were dismayed by the conduct of this woman, angela corey. they suggested that she had overreached on this case and then that she had tried to hide evidence from zimmerman's defense team. one prominent attorney even suggested she should be, quote, disbarred. trace has more on this. >> and recall shortly after the verdict, angela corey came out and held a news conference to thank her prosecution team and she seemed oddly kept with the
11:17 am
verdict and then she said that all along she was only seeking the truth. listen. >> when we announced the charges 15 months ago, we also promised that we would seek the truth for trayvon martin and due process for george zimmerman. that we would get all of the facts and details of this very difficult case before a jury and that we chose to do it that way because we felt that everyone had a right to know everything about this case. >> but remember it was angela corey who brought the second-degree murder charges against zimmerman and in her charging affidavit, she released statements that many said were very misleading. for example, that trayvon martin -- rather, george zimmerman was profiled and that zimmerman disregarded the police gs patcher and continued to follow trayvon martin and trayvon martin's mother identifieded the voice crying
11:18 am
for help as trayvon martin's voice. especially more important is what she left out, including evidence that would have helped george zimmerman, exconsu excul evidence. they are supposed to seek out the truth and a harvard law professor took it a step further, alan dershowitz. that was completely misleading. she violated all kinds of rules of the profession and her conduct bordered on criminal conduct. >> for hmore, let's bring in judge napolitano. you read through the affidavit as we did and it seems to many that it was very one-sided. and moreover, it left out a lot of key facts as we just mentioned that really could have benefited george zimmerman in
11:19 am
this case. >> and the go. h government has an obligation to reveal all this. in florida when the government wants to charge someone with a felony,reveal all this. in florida when the government wants to charge someone with a felony,obligation to reveal all. in florida when the government wants to charge someone with a felony, it can present the evidence to the grand jury, notify the target and let the target the person they're attempting to indict present evidence and the grand jury decides whether or not to indict. they almost always do what the prosecutors want them to do, but there is a weighing and sifting of the evidence. the other way which is the way they did it here is for that lady, the prosecutor in charge, angela corey, simply to file the complaint supported by an affidavit that she signed. now, when she signs that affidavit, she is required to inform the court not only of the strengths in her case, but of the weaknesses, as well. so when professor dershowitz says she lied, it appears she
11:20 am
did lie. when he said she didn't comply with the rules of ethics, it appears she did not comply with the rules of ethics. when he said she may have committed a crime, well, lying under oath is a crime. the type of crime she prosecutes people for. she materially misled the court into thinking she had a far stronger case than she did. and i dare say if i had been the judge or if any take judge nell so that who tried the case, and the judge knew what we now know about the case, what ms. cory was obliged to tell the judge, the judge probably would have rejected the charge of second-degree murder and said you need to charge him with something less. >> and i'm running out of time here, but i want to go you one further and talk about how mark o'mara says that he believes that angela corey and her office actually withheld evidence and i want to know what exactly george zimmerman and his attorneys, what right do they have to go back after the government in this case. >> if she sues for malicious
11:21 am
prosecution, she will have to -- if zimmerman shoes for in ma lish issues prosecution, he will have to demonstrate that miss cory's behavior was motivated not by the facts in the case, but by an overriding desire to win and that overriding desire to win caused her to break the rules and break the law and expose him to 30 years in jail when he shouldn't have been exposed to it at all. a lot of us have looked at this and beginning to think he probably should file such a case. that's how unjustified and unjustifiable this prosecution turned out to be. >> i want you to stay with us if you can. i want to ask you about the possibility that the feds may bring new charges. this is a very big case and we want one more input from the judge before we let him go. that's coming up next. [ male announcer ] this is kevin.

still a it wag for eric holder to address the naacp. i want to bring back in judge nepal tnapolitano. the fdi did their investigation. s they issued a document saying there was no racial prejudice.e. the fdi did their investigation. they issued a document saying there was no racial prejudice.p. the fdi did their investigation. they issued a document saying there was no racial prejudice.n. the fdi did their investigation. they issued a document saying there was no racial prejudice. they have an arm of the doj. why is the doj not satisfied? >> because the doj could be called the department of political justice and sometimes is trying to satisfy the demands of political constituencies more than it is following the law. this is a very dangerous intersection of politics and prosecution. prosecutions should be based upon the law and the government's ability to prove its case. it should not be based upon which crowd is screaming the
11:26 am
loudest for the hide of whoom. this guy was legitimately acquitted in a state court and now the feds want to prosecute him. murder is not a federal crime unless it is animated by hatred for the race of the person who was killed. there was no evidence presented in the florida case to demonstrate that george zimmerman killed trayvon martin because he hated the color of his skin or hated the race of which he was a member. nevertheless in the charging document, the one we talked about in the last section, the affidavit that angela corey submitted to the court, she said this was all based on race. so if the federal government to enter the picture, it would have to reject everything that the jury found this florida, reject what its own fbi found. >> and we don't even want to go back to the selective prosecution the doj has kind of implemented over the past few four or five years.
11:27 am
but you talk about these cases as a rule, even know back to rodney king, back in the '90s, and they went after those police officers and only two of the four even with the videotaped evidence only two of the four were prosecuted in that. and these are very difficult cases to undertake. >> the constitution prohibits double jeopardy, trying a person more than once for the same crime. but the supreme court has interpret that had to mean each jurisdiction gets one shot. so if you do one thing, pull a trigger once and kill a person, the state can prosecute you and the feds can prosecute you. that doesn't make sense and i reject it, but that's the law of the land. but the second prosecution has to be just and fair and based on a different theory from the first prosecution and where the federal government's crack investigative teams, nobody in the world better than the fbi, has concluded going all the way back to zimmerman's childhood that there is no evidence of him hating black people, this is a case they can't make, this is a case that can't win and so this is a case they should not bring.
11:28 am
>> and one more, lead investigator a black police officer, sergeant within the sanford police department, looking at all the evidence and saying, look, there is nothing here that says this was racially motivated. it's got to give the doj some reason for pause. >> one would hope so. but we'll see. >> judge, great to sigh you as always. >> good to see you. thanks. just ahead, more breaking news from the senate. plus we're on royal baby watch here in london. and stepmother in law camilla give a little bit of a hint as to when we may be expecting some action in front of that doorway. sfwh she has to have it before we leave on saturday. she has a window of four days. the new guy is loaded with protein!

after the summit, there was talk in 2009, it was a teachable moment on race.president made comments saying he thought it was a friendly thoughtful conversation, some progress had been made. so my question now is do you feel similarly that this is a teachable moment for the country right now? >> the president put out a statement in response to the verdict and i think that his words on there are the best representation of how he views
11:33 am
it and what he hopes will come from it, which is a peaceful reflection and conversation by communities across the country. and that conversation is taking place. both in private and the public sphere. >> that was jay carney moments ago when he was pressed by ed henry about the trayvon martin case. just one of a series of questions from the white house press core all asking that same issue, how the administration plans to handle the fallout from the trayvon martin and george zimmerman case. joining me now is david webb and mark hannah. good to have you both with me today. david, let's start with you on
11:34 am
this. obviously what jay carney's not saying in this press briefing is you know what, the jury has spoken and the president and the administration believed that it's time to move on, that's not what we're hearing here. >> the fact that they waited into this when president obama made his comments is what brought to that level. had the president not said if i had a son he would look like trayvon martin, they would not have that level. department of just sis is looking for two bites at the apple. why didn't they ross cute immediately on civil rights violation.why didn't they ross immediately on civil rights violation. because they had weak or no case at that point. you can prosecute under florida law for bias. the fbi said there was no evidence to support it. and now they do the washington
11:35 am
play. they will let some time run out, they will say we've made our best effort, and then it will move on and we'll be on to another big story. but this is the political did have oj, not the professional doj in play. >> i don't know where -- >> so david is arguing that it's lip service, that they're saying to pander to certain constituencies is and that's all it is. is that true? >> and that's disingenuous when you consider the fact the investigation was opened by the fed back spring and then deferred to the courts locally and stepped aside. but, no, this was brought about by career prosecutors and if the department of just sf juof jusdo go forward, i think that this is a decision that will be made -- ledded by if not with the
11:36 am
consultation of career prosecutors. stepping back, when most americans heard this verdict, there was a sensation of grave injustice that had been committed. i was back in a small town where i grew up and everybody i was talking to, they're not particularly political, but they had this feeling that there was a big miscarriage of justice. and as martin luther king said, injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. so that's why see all colors and creeds coming out in the streets in protest. >> hold on. when i look back at the moment that the o.j. case was decided and the reaction in america, the casey anthony case and the reaction in america, sometimes people don't feel that justice was done and that's certainly their right. but in those situations, you know, does the administration, does the president step in and say we're going to continue to
11:37 am
pursue this further? no, they did not is the answer to that question. so why in this case is it different? >> i think because in this case there is a perception for better or worse if the president comes out and makes a statement about this, that this case is somehow political sized. whereas before i said career prosecutor, if the president makes a comment, automatically you'll think there is a political case. the statement jay carney referred to, there was a statement that legal procedures have to run their course. this isn't a time for politics. this is a time to make sure justice was given both for the sake of trayvon martin and his family and for -- >> justice has been given by a jury of their peers under our system. and the burden you would have to meet for a federal prosecution would have to take into account what has happened in the state prosecution. we now have an acquittal on all charges not just second-degree murder, but lesser charges in the judges instructions.
11:38 am
what we have here has been a political issue and we have to look at the actions of the community relations service, a little known unit ever the department of justice that went down to florida last year and began to spend taxpayer dollars to facilitate rallies against zirm plan. we have the e-mails. >> what -- how did they stimulate the rallies? and read it there.eudicial but my point is justice has been done. a jury of their peers has decided. the burden required for federal civil rights trial is even higher. to show that racial bay as oig, if they had it, they would have done what they did with the rodney king situation where they went immediately, prosecuted and they received some 30 months a piece. they didn't have the case. and this is a case of two bites
11:39 am
at the apple and let's play it out because this is the politics of it. >> regardless of the validity of david's points and i think he makes a couple good points there, one thing this does point to is the stand your ground laws in the state of florida and the fact that you can basically use fear and cowardice as a just if i justification to kill another human being. >> you're deflecting from the all debate.justification to kil human being. >> you're deflecting from the all debate.human being. >> you're deflecting from the all debate.ustification to kill human being. >> you're deflecting from the all debate.justification to kil human being. >> you're deflecting from the all debate. >> a whited ed adult male carrya gun killed a black boy. >> posted $50,000 bond. was at work the following monday. that case being prosecuted while trayvon martin was killed. >> when most americans look at this case and if they can imagine george zimmerman is

black and trayvon martin is white, i think they would have a very different -- >> where is your outrage on dooley? >> gentlemen, thank you. obviously it's a hot issue. and i think it's going to be really interesting to see whether or not the administration moves forward with it. whether the justice department give it is lip service or whether they go further. thanks, guys. let's go back to the u.s. and trace.they go further. thanks, guys. let's go back to the u.s. and trace. deadly terrorist attack in benghazi spa benghazi spashing a closer look at security. considering what has to be dwun to prevent another benghazi. james rosen live for us in d.c. to prevent another benghazi. james rosen live for us in d.c.. considering what has to be dwun to prevent another benghazi. james rosen live for us in d.c.. >> reporter: officials pledged today they have learned the lessons of benghazi and are taking steps to make sure they

11:47 am
are the off spring, the younger brother of the two countries. and that we have a long fascination and love with the british royal family that is rather interesting. i'm not sure that i could live under such a system personally. but it is fascinating to watch it unfold like this. >> of course by nature we broke away from this system a long time ago, but i think in a way the affection that exists between the united states and great britain does sort of foster this relationship with the royal family. but i have to say, i see people very divided. people either could care less and we hear from them, or they are very fascinated and they say, you know what, there are so many ugly things going on in the world, this is a nice young couple, everybody's happy that princess diana's son grew up to turn into what appears to be a

11:49 am
>> without question. i mean, would people be streaming past buckingham palace or through the royal parks if there were not a royal family? >> the estimate is that it's going to bring in about $350 million, the anticipation is that the country and businesses here will make more on this event than they did on the royal wedding which is pretty big. we'll see if it turns out to be the case. dan, thank you very much for joining us. we'll see you soon. congratulations on the new book. there it is, the english girl. and speaking of english girls, image and lloyd webber is an entertainment reporter and she joins us for a quickie and then we'll hold you you over the break. but i think there is something to this fact that people watched william grow up. there has been a lot of rough stuff in the middle of all that. you had princess diana, the divorce first, her death. i think that people are fascinated with his story.
