10:00 am
>> we're going to wear the doctors out with our bad eating habits. fun to be here. you'll be back next weekend. that's going to do it for us. >> thank you for watching "sunday house call." have a great day. the crisis in ukraine takes a deadly turn as shots are fired. for the first time the faceoff between ukrainian special forces and pro-russian militia group ends in a gun battle. as tension escalates ukraine's president says his country will launch a, quote, large-scale antiterrorist operation to resist russian aggression. a live report coming up mpkts the standoff in a modern day range war comes to an end after protests many of them armed showed up in support of the rancher. the bureau of land management halted its round up, but the fight is far from over. we're live in nevada with the latest. and two hot button issues heating up in washington this week. we will ask a republican
10:01 am
congressman about his dust up with eric holder. and adam smith explains why he thinks the ongoing benghazi investigations are, quote, a witch hunt. and all that, is country music losing its soul? colin ray joins us live. "america's news headquarters" live from the nation's capital starts right now. the feds have released roughly 400 cattle rounded up during a bitter standoff with a nevada rancher. the bureau of land management called off the round up citing escalating tensions. we're live from bunker hill, nevada. hello, william. >> reporter: well, shannon, it is palm sunday, peaceful out here now. but it feels like the aftermath of a major storm that isn't necessarily over following yesterday's intense standoff that nearly turned deadly when hundreds of protesters and self-described patriots demanded
10:02 am
that the bureau of land management return cliven bundy's cattle. when it refused that demand, armed protesters closed in on a cattle compound guarded by blm agents as dozens of vegas police and s.w.a.t. rushed to the scene. witnesses say both sides pointed rifles. as this picture shows, a protesters with a rifle in a sniper position on an overpass above federal agents guarding that gate. but the show of force worked. blm released the cattle in exchange for protesters allowing them to leave peacefully. >> i didn't think that we would be having this celebration that we are right now. i really think that the people showing up here safed clive bundy from going to jail. >> reporter: blm seized bundy's
10:03 am
cattle because it says it -- he defied a court order and refused to pay grazing fees over a period of 20 years. the family says it agreed to pay fees only to the state, but it considers yesterday's release of their cattle one of the happiest days of their life. >> those cattle are ours. their clive and bundy's family cat ls and they stole them from us. and they realized it. they're our cows and they get to come home to the place they've lived all their life. >> reporter: now, today the bundys are out at two other compounds retrieving additional cattle and also going on the range land to assess the damage because the blm says it tore down fences and corrals, water tanks. blm says it backed off out of the safety of their employees. environmentalists have chided the agency saying the cattle still being there are a threat
10:04 am
to the desert tortoise. back to you. >> we know this is not the only escalation between the blm and other ranchers in that area. thank you for keeping us updated. let's turn to the escalating crisis in ukraine. ukraine's acting president accuses russia of carrying out a war against his country and says he's launching what he calls a full-scale antiterrorist operation to stop it. the pledge follows a face-off between ukrainian special forces and pro-russian militia. fox news reporter joins us now by phone from moscow with the very latest. hello, jessica. >> reporter: hello. what basically makes this different is that tensions in ukraine have been escalating for about a month now. but basically pro-russian demonstrators took over a police barracks in the city about 90 miles away from the russian border. and ukraine's prime minister basically said that this is basically -- these are basically terrorist actions so that ukraine must now act in response to those terrorist actions.
10:05 am
and so they have sent in basically hundreds of security officials to the region. at least one security official from the ukrainian side has died and an untold number of separatists have also died. the problem is tensions have been escalating for months and months in the region. but basically ukraine has been very, one can say, perhaps meek in their response because their army is basically not up to snuff. they are $39 billion in debt. and they don't feel that if they do push with force that they could probably win. now, russia for their part has basically come out to say they don't want to take a piece of ukraine, that they had no intentions of going into crimea and having crimea be a part of russia even though that happened. they said that was the will of the crimean people. and people are very afraid now in the eastern part of russia because they don't know what's going to happen. there are tens of thousands of russian troops basically on the
10:06 am
border with russia and ukraine. and the people in the eastern part of the country say that they basically want to vote just like crimea did and become a part of russia. the city we're talking about where there is the so-called full-scale invasion at least according to ukraine, as i mentioned earlier it's 90 miles away from russia. and there are not that many separatists as we understand. they included women, they included children. unfortunately there have been some casualties. there are barricades. and they say that they're not leaving. for its part ukraine has basically come out to say they're willing to give the region more local powers, the people say they don't want more local powers, they want to be a part of russia. >> all right. jessica, thank you very much for the update there live from moscow. we'll check back with you as things develop. lawmakers are still seeking answers in the 2012 attack on the benghazi consulate. four americans, ambassador chris
10:07 am
stevens, shawn smith, ty woods and glen dorty killed in the attack originally billed as a protest by military officials. there are multiple ongoing investigations. adam smith calls them a witch hunt. he's a ranking member of the house armed services committee and joins us live. congressman, welcome. good to see you today. >> good to see you. thanks for having me on. >> okay. so let's start with the basic overall question about whether or not the families of those who were lost, the loved ones of those who died that day, do you think their questions have been sufficiently answered by the investigations to this point? >> yes. i believe they have by the multiple investigations by congress and many instances by multiple different committees. i think congress needs to address oversight. when this incident happened we had an absolute responsibility to do that. the unfortunate part of this is that it's become so partisan in such a desperate effort, primarily by chairman issa but
10:08 am
also others within the republican party, to try to smear the administration by making up charges and then trying to investigate them and disproving them and then bringing them back up again. we had the whole argument that someone in the military supposedly gave the stand down order. never happened. repeatedly it's been said to have never happened. so i think the way the republicans have conducted this investigation has done a grave disservice to the families. >> let me interrupt you -- >> they deserve an investigation, not an effort to make this a partisan advantage. and that overwhelmingly is what the republican party has done. >> okay. let's talk about at least one of those families who have been very publy llicly saying they feel they got the answers. sean smith's family believes the administration has lied to them and stone wauled them and haven't gotten answers to explain the loss of their son. we know they are expresses still concerns. let's talk about what has come out in the last few days regarding former acting cia
10:09 am
director mike morell. there was a lot of question about the talking points about whether who changed them. he had originally said at one point it was the fbi. he talked about the fbi being responsible for changing those talking points and e-mails released by the administration shows he edited like 50% of the texts. those are the administration details. that raises other questions about at least there's a perception to some people that when those things surface they wonder what else they're not being told. >> well, look, this is the point about how this has been an utter and complete distraction. the argument over the talking points really sort of reflected where we were at in our fight against al qaeda. and this is something that is either been willfully misunderstood by the republicans or simply not understood. al qaeda as it originally attacked us on 9/11 was a very centralized organization. it was al qaeda senior leadership. what both president bush and president obama have been very
10:10 am
successful at is smashing that centralized organization. they have not been able to perpetrate attacks against us. and this administration just like the bush administration rightfully has said this is a successful policy. but what has happened and what everybody acknowledges is the ideology itself, al qaeda's ideology, has ma tast sized into multiple different groups. the argument the republicans have tried to turn into a conspiracy is really a simple legitimate policy argument. the people who attacked in libya had affiliations with terrorist groups. the president of the united states the day after the attack said this was a terrorist attack. that was never denied. but a terrorist attack by whom? was it ordered by al qaeda senior leadership? and very early on it seemed clear that it wasn't. but who were these groups? so the differences of opinion in the talking points were not political. the republicans made them political instead of analyzing it as a policy question.
10:11 am
who are these people in libya who are attacking us? clearly they're violent extremists. clearly they're sympathic to al qaeda. but are they al qaeda? it seems like they're not, which doesn't make them any less dangerous, it's just a policy point. >> as you know there are many other questions about editing the talking points whether it was a protest, a video, something else. aside from the al qaeda discussion. and also there are those when you take -- >> i disagree with that, but go ahead. >> -- when you take the president's statements about a terrorist attack, in context there are many who on both of the aisle actually don't think what he said the next day was specifically referencing this attack and admitting it was a terrorist attack. let me ask you bottom line question -- bottom line question -- well, i want to ask you this because i know it's something you -- >> i want to stress you made a very important statement that i want to answer. >> okay. let me ask this though. something you can clearly agree across the political spectrum just about every american wants to know, number one, why no one
10:12 am
has been held responsibility for this despite the fact media groups have been able to get to some of these suspects. >> i want to address the first part of that question -- >> and if you'll address that one too. >> okay. look, was it a protest -- look, at the same time what happened in benghazi was going on, we had -- i don't know if you call them protesters, terrorists, call them what you want in cairo and about nine other cities. they were attacking our embassies. it seems clear those folks initially by protest. whether you want to call it a protest in response to a video, terrorism, whatever it is, it's an act of terrorism if you go over the wall at a u.s. embassy and try to attack us. we got buried in the semantics as opposed to the fact what they were doing was in fact terrorist activity and got lost in the notion of what motivated it. it was a legitimate question that, again, the republicans turned into a partisan argument. and it undermined the
10:13 am
credibility of this investigation from day one. >> right. >> calling for impeachment of the president a week after this makes it clear the objective of the republican oversight was not to find the truth. it was to embarrass the administration regardless of the facts. and that i think has really hurt the credibility of congress and the legitimate role we need to play. smart oversight, not partisan oversight. >> if nothing else it makes it sound like there are still a lot of unresolved issues here. i appreciate your spending time with us today. >> i disagree. >> and getting to holding someone responsible, i think we can end on a moment of agreement that we all agree that needs to happen. >> absolutely. >> congressman, thanks. >> it's been difficult to find the people who perpetrated this attack. >> not for some media outlets. >> that is very unfortunate. pardon? >> we wish all our law enforcement agency the best in bringing that about so there can be resolution into some respect for these families and loved ones. congressman, we appreciate your time. thank you so much. >> thank you. all right. seems like it's getting personal
10:14 am
between u.s. attorney general eric holder and some house republicans. at a public appearance this week holder took a shot at the judiciary committee after what was a very tense hearing. >> you look at the way the attorney general of the united states was treated yesterday by a house committee. had nothing to do with me. forget that what attorney general has ever had to deal with that kind of treatment. >> one of the most heated exchanges this week on the hill involved mr. holder and gop congressman gomert who joins us now on the phone live from texas. we are having some technical difficulties, but congressman, thank you for your time today. >> sure. i've been told i have a face for radio. so this may work out better. the story right before that leads into this because when you have somebody stand up and say we need oversight when he knows good and well that what this administration is doing is anything but allowing oversight. you know, shannon, the documents i've been asking for three years in writing and orally they've provided to people convicted of
10:15 am
supporting terrorism in dallas texas affirmed by this circuit. in new orleans they said care -- certainly plenty evidence to support they are comply sit and they will not give us the documents that they gave to the terrorists. that's all i've been asking for. so when you have an attorney general go out and start whining like he did the next day, i mean, for heaven sakes, shannon, john mitchell not only was treated ten times worse deservedly than eric holder was, but he went to prison. and even going to prison he didn't whine as much as this attorney general is. >> well, let me ask you this, congressman gohmert. i'm guessing you and the attorney general don't golf or vacation together. there's obviously some tension there. >> wait a minute, shannon. the record should be clear -- >> okay. >> he classified me as his
10:16 am
buddy. >> exactly. >> we're bffs. so, you know, don't misunderstand, we're buddies. he's my buddy. >> and that came in response to you saying to him that, you know, when it comes to contempt you said something to the effect that i know it's not a big deal to the attorney general. >> that's right. >> you had to know that was going to spark this. and he was going to be upset, fair? >> well, he already brought it to this level because he continues to refuse to produce documents. and he misrepresented what his justice department had said. they'd sent me a letter saying here's a couple of websites you can go check some of the and that was outrageous. i'm asking for what he gave the terrorists. so when he says, yeah, it's a big deal to me. it's not a big deal to him because if it were there would be evidence to support that. you would go out of your way like other administrations have. you know, we get crossways with the bush administration. i came after their fbi director
10:17 am
repeatedly. but the difference was they would sit down and give us the documents, give us the answers. these guys will not cooperate. and so if it were a big deal to him as he says, then there would be evidence to show it. they would work with us. they would get us the documents. heck, i had heard from one source that they put the documents we've been seeking on disc and sent to another justice office. if they've done that, they can sure easily do that to me. there's no evidence he feels bad about this. >> congressman, i want you to promise if you get a response from the attorney general you will let us know right away. >> i would love to let you know. >> and he's always welcome on this program as well. we'd love to host you both. congressman, thank you very much for your time. >> thank you, shannon. all right. now, speaking of contempt, it's time for you to sound off at home. do you think a referral of the criminal case involving former irs employee lois learner will go anywhere at the justice department? and you know the contempt
10:18 am
charge. do you think it goes anywhere? tweet us. we will read some of your responses later in the show. still ahead celebrating palm sunday mass, the pope tosses the script and speaks from the heart. and why he's called the people's pope. and kathleen sebelius's send off, the head of the obamacare disastrous rollout may be gone, but his new pick for the job, a fair and balanced debate coming up. (dad) well, we've been thinking about it and we're just not sure.

dimming that flight 370 will be found any time soon if ever after getting four strong underwater signals over the past week, which could be from the plane's black boxes, the hunt for the missing jet has gone quiet. the silence could mean the batteries on the locator beacons have finally died. meanwhile malaysian newspaper is reporting investigators think the plane's co-pilot may have attempted to make a call from his cell phone after the jetliner veered from its original course. the phone briefly connected with
10:23 am
a telecommunications tower but no call was ever completed. one source says the connection does not necessarily mean a call was being placed simply that the phone's signal may have pinged a tower. malaysia's transportation minister's skeptical of the report saying if a call were have been placed he would have known about it earlier. the administration's lead proponent of obamacare is out. in her first interview since resigning former hhs secretary kathleen sebelius says in hindsight she would have asked different questions about the botched health care rollout. >> it was awful. but all you could do is say, all right, we're going to fix it. hold me accountable. >> president obama's already nominated her replacement budget chief sylvia burwell to take over. let's chat about it. here for a fair and balanced debate, welcome to both you ladies.
10:24 am
let's talk about sebelius before we talk about the replacement. liz, how do you think history will treat her? the president says she got the job done, final score tells the story. does she leave on a high note or low note in your opinion? >> she leaves on a high note, but it's a really interesting high note because obviously this bill and this law are still incredibly controversial. but if she had left right after the botched rollout, and frankly i thought the president should have fired her then. and i'm a democrat. but he's very loyal and she stayed on. and for her legacy that's a good thing. if she had been let go or if she had left right after the rollout, i think history would have treated her very unkindly. now six months later now that it's looking at least the corporation saying close to 10 million people may have health insurance, i think she leaves on a much higher note. but it will always be controversial for her. >> but, shannon, it wasn't sebelius that was a failure, it's the actual legislation. this is a great analogy. if you have a broken car, you change the driver, the car's not going to drive any better. so just because sebelius has
10:25 am
stepped down, obamacare's still controversial. and the american people overwhelmingly don't want it. >> well, you got a smile out of liz for that. i think she chuckled at your analogy. let's talk about sylvia burwell. she was confirmed 96-0 when she was nominated to that post. but it wasn't without some bumps. i want to play a little bit of an interchange between her and gop senator jeff sessions who is now raising concerns he thinks her nomination represents the president wants a political ally in this new post heading up hhs. and he's afraid she won't say no to the president if it's necessary. he says it's in light of context of the questioning about some budget issues. here's a little bit of that exchange. >> so you're proposing that we all -- so you can spend $56 billion more next year alone. >> what we are proposing -- >> yes or no, is that correct? >> we propose --
10:26 am
>> can't you answer that question simply yes or no? do you propose to spend $56 billion more than murray allows. and you're proposing we change ron murray to allow you to do so, yes or no? >> senator, we do propose a change in the law that would be fully paid for that would invest in the things that we believe are necessary for the economic health of the nation. >> you're refusing to answer it. i will answer it. the answer is that you're going to spend -- you're asking us to raise the spending limits by changing the ron murray law so you can spend even more than you agreed to spend ten weeks ago. and this is the way a nation goes broke. >> all right. liz, the president noted that she was, as we said, voted in 96-0, she hasn't changed, but have the circumstances changed on capitol hill. it's a different position. does she get to 96-0 this time around? >> highly unlikely.
10:27 am
absolutely. more because this is a very controversial appointment. not as much when you get to be director of omb. but everyone knows what the secretary of health and human services does especially with this particular law. democrats can toll 55 votes, even if a few defect. and that is unlikely. i still think she gets to 51. >> we know to move her forward it's going to be 51 votes. that's all they need. is this a chance for the gop to relitigate obamacare? will that hurt them or help them? >> well, they are going to use the hearing for that. usually i'm for hearings to only be about the issue, the person. they are going to use it to actually scrutinize obamacare, but the reason why republicans get the reputation of being mean spirited, i like jeff sessions. that wasn't very nice what he did. i mean, she was trying to answer the question. so i'm hopeful if they utilize the hearing to scrutinize obamacare, let's do it in a nice way. don't be mean spirited.
10:28 am
especially to a woman. >> is there a way to discuss obamacare on the hill without it getting mean spirited despite the person sitting in front of them, that individual? >> a lot of members of congress like to utilize this as a soap opera. american people, we are tired of partisan politics. we want to know the fact. so the more we berate people and not let them answer a question when we already have the answer, it doesn't bode well for our party. >> how much will she be able to answer questions about obamacare? she hasn't been the person heading up the effort thus far. but you know those questions are going to come. >> absolutely. and i actually completely agree with angela. >> wow! >> i do. i think it's a perfect example of how she's going to be treated as this nomination goes forward, in some ways by both sides. but this is an incredibly controversial issue as we walk into midterm elections. if this was happening 2015 post-election, i think we'd soo a very different confirmation process. is this an opportunity for both sides to bring up obamacare again and discuss whether it's good or not? absolutely. the question is as we just saw is she actually going to be
10:29 am
allowed to answer any questions? is she going to be allowed to say what she is or is not going to do? or are politicians just going to try to score points? >> all right. we are out of time. we'll leave it there on a note of agreement on this palm sunday. ladies, thank you very much. good to see you both. >> thank you. >> thank you. still ahead, the 2016 -- yeah, 2016 presidential race is on in new hampshire. we will ask our own how he thinks the gop field is shaping up. and a comment by prince william. sets the rumor mill in motion, any chance the royal family will be growing again soon? all we do is go out to dinner. that's it? i mean, he picks up the tab every time, which is great... he's using you. he probably has a citi thankyou card and gets 2x the points at restaurants. huh the citi thankyou preferred card. now earn 2x the points on dining out, with no annual fee. go to citi.com/thankyoucards

and it feels like your lifeate revolves around your symptoms, ask your gastroenterologist about humira adalimumab. humira has been proven to work for adults who have tried other medications but still experience the symptoms of moderate to severe crohn's disease. in clinical studies, the majority of patients on humira
10:33 am
saw significant symptom relief, and many achieved remission. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal events, such as infections, lymphoma, or other types of cancer, have happened. blood, liver and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure have occurred. before starting humira, your doctor should test you for tb. ask your doctor if you live in or have been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. tell your doctor if you have had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have symptoms such as fever, fatigue, cough, or sores. you should not start humira if you have any kind of infection. ask your gastroenterologist about humira today. remission is possible. it is still two years away, but republicans got to hear what some possible contenders could be pitching for 2016. our own digital politics editor weighs in on the possible field, but first peter is here with a
10:34 am
check of the other news making headlines today. hey, peter. >> shannon, ukraine's president says he won't prosecute any pro-russian militia members who give up their weapons by tomorrow morning. in a televised address he accused russia of waging a war against ukraine. and he said he'll launch a full-scale antiterrorist operation to stop it. residents in central idaho were shaken out of their beds this morning by a 4.9 magnitude earthquake. the strongest in the area since 2005. it rattled windows and sent pictures flying off walls, but so far no reports of injuries or serious damage. the showdown between a nevada rancher and the federal government is over, at least for now. the bureau of land management has released 400 head of cliven bundy's cattle, that came after hundreds of bundy supporters including some that were armed staged a protest. the blm says it's going to try to resolve the matter administratively and judicially. and could there be a second
10:35 am
royal baby on the way? prince william started tongues wagging while on a trip to new zealand when a woman gave a knitted sweater to 8-month-old prince george. william reportedly said, you might have to go make another one soon. those are the top stories right now. shannon, back to you. >> peter, thank you very much. well, potential 2016 gop candidates are spending some time in a key state this weekend. at the forefront of the freedom summit in new hampshire, comments made by jeb bush right here last sunday on "anhq". >> yes, they broke the law, but it's not a felony. it's kind of -- it's a -- it's an act of love. it's an act of commitment to your family. >> i've heard a lot -- i've heard money, i've heard this, i've heard sex, i've heard everything. the one thing i never heard of was love. i understand what he's saying, but, you know, it's out there. >> all right. so how is the 2016 field shaping up? let's ask the one and only fox
10:36 am
news digital politics editor chris stirewalt who knows all. >> if i know all we're in big trouble. >> we have the nominees who wins, chris has it. but before we get there let's talk about the idea that the republican party there are different front runners, they fall back, there are a dozen names being floated out, but there's no real front runner at this point. how does the gop get behind one person or do they? >> let's think about it this way. so for 250 or so million americans, today is palm sunday. 250 million or so americans are christian. of the 55 million, let's say republicans, the overwhelming majority are christian. a huge, huge portion. let's say 96% of them, 95% of them are christian. so in the republican party basically what you have is a struggle for christian and evangelical votes. so you have on the one side the liberty people. those are the guys who would be standing with the bundy family. these are the people who really
10:37 am
dislike, really dislike the federal government. and then on the other side you sort of have the chamber of commerce, more moderate establishment dare i say country club kind of republicans. on the other side the votes that those two wings of the party are competing for are the evangelical christians who tend to sometimes go with the establishment branch like they did with george w. bush, sometimes they go with the libertarian leaders like they did with ronald reagan. the question is how do you make that coalition? jeb bush is reaching out when he talks about it's a crime of love, embedded in that is a plea to evangelical christians who are called to be -- >> passionate. >> right. they worship a god of second chances. that's what they're called to do. on the other hand you have a coalition of leaving us alone. so when rand paul is talking and he himself being an evangelical christian saying religious liberty is the -- future so
10:38 am
evangelical which i s evangelical christians worried about the government ought to be standing with the libertarian minded. it's a tough positioning now and you have to use all the right code words, but essentially the struggle is which wing of the republican party will win the affection -- which candidate will win the affection of those evangelical christians. >> what about when that group stays home? if neither side can appeal to them, they can really sway elections, every time there's a presidential election. but if they are not motivated and they stay home, that helps elect somebody. >> john mccain and mitt romney -- romney did a better job of connecting with and mobilizing evangelicals than john mccain did, but the story of those two candidates are establishment figures who subdued but did not woo and enthuse those voters, those evangelical voters. george w. bush showed that it can work. george bush showed how it can work for the establishment, ronald reagan showed how it can work for the libertarian leaders.
10:39 am
we'll see who's effective. you can say jeb bush and rand paul, who are probably the front runners in this race right now, both have good messages to make to those folks. >> so handicapping others out there, mike huckaby. >> he could do well with the evangelicals. >> wu but we have all other kinds of folks, ted cruz and chris christie, who else do you think bubbles up? >> i think they're all bubbling. you have to look at the governors, certainly look at casack in ohio. mike pence -- >> hearing more and more about him. >> he's an evangelical himself so he would not have to do as much to sway them. the question would be what kind of coalition could he build. but the republicans are the three-legged stool. you've got to have two if you want to win the nomination. >> always good to see you. >> good to see you. happy palm sunday. >> to you as well. a change of plans for the astronauts aboard the international space station. what nasa plans to handle what

downs. why did you decide to write this story? >> well, i think we had a death in the family. my oldest granddaughter, haley, passed away in 2010, and actually governor huckabee on fox news made that public. i've known him for a long time. since then it has brought us in the public eye and the struggle we went through with her and the press came to me and said -- it was two years in the making. it took me two years. you can tell it's my first book. >> i mean, what i have been able to read so far it's very interesting. you talk about how your faith has gotten you through everything, including losing your precious granddaughter. >> that's primarily what it is. there's a lot of fun, you know, music business -- music industry behind the scenes anecdotes and great stories and all that for the country music fan to read.
