is it really a colossal waste of time to seek justice for those four dead americans? we're going to talk about that. >> so much for unity. students forbidden from wearing american citizens today because it is cinco de mayo. isn't this america? i ask you but you can't -- i can't hear you. hopefully you'll write me. phorpbgdz are better with friends. >> it's time for "fox &ç friends." >> live from studio e. they spuld -- pulled out all the stops. >> i know. a lot to say about benghazi. the author of "24." >> it starts tonight. my daughter sent me a note. you see sharyl attkisson,

she is writing a book. she knows just about everything there is to know about benghazi. >> i saw the shows over the weekend. he'llç be here to talk about what it is like being called dude. the dude of the hour. how many correspondents called him dude. jayce robinson, he is the oldest brother on that show. >> a new book out that deals with a, what's it called? wood chuck. >> we have a whole family of them. >> we let them live back there. they live in the backyard. we live in the house. >> what are you concerned about? going after your children? >> yeah. >> we've got a busy monday. let's start with benghazi. it's interesting. it sounds like at the conclusion of business on friday, john boehner announced that there would be a house select committee to investigate benghazi, and it looks as if as early

as today they could actually name a chairman,ç somebody, the chief investigator essentially. right now at this point it looks like trey gowdy, the republican from south carolina, is the front-runner. >> other people that are supposed to be on that committee, pete sessions could possibly be there and ilana ross leihten. the question is who on the democratic side will be there? one of the most convincing democrats you could talk to is jane ossman. she seemed to be ground in reality which makesç her a valuable pant on -- valuable panelist on"fox tphuz sunday." when we're talking about benghazi getting to the bottom of the truth, an e-mail that came out last

week from ben rhodes which indicated the talking points were formed around the fact -- fact -- that turned out to be false that this attack was the result of a reaction to this youtube video. those points were given to susan rice who went on these talk shows and told the american people that that was the reason that our americans were killed and attacked that day. brit hume is saying the democrats are sticking to the fact that this was not the case. there was no sort of conspiracy on the left or the white house or the administration to cover this up. he talked toç jane harmon who is typically levelheaded about all this stuff. he said this spin, it's not going to win. >> this was not intelligence failure but not a conspiracy. vince foster wasn't murdered and it is time to move on and focus on the real problems in libya and other -- >> if you're right there wasn't a conspiracy in the united states to mount the benghazi attack. that's not the question. the question was whether in the aftermath of the attack

when the administration sent its u.n. ambassador out to explain it to everybody, and she didç so falsely, there wasn't a conspiracy to create the false talking points that she used. i'm not talking about the c.i.a. talking points. i'm talking about the talking points used on the program that day which were monumentally misleading and have since been shown to be false and based on no intelligence of any consequence that we know of. >> my answer to that is no, there wasn't a conspiracy. >> how did it happen? >> i think that people made at the time their best guess at the facts. >> wait a minute. where did the idea that the video had anything to do with benghazi come from? >> where did it come from? >> yeah. >> i think it came from people who weren't sure about it. >> can you identify anybody? spoeups -- falsely inserted into the -- >> c.i.a. information. >> -- the video or the movie five times in this

memo. >> my view is having been around at the time, that this was not deliberately misleading. it turned out to be wrong but it was not deliberately misleading. >> the c.i.a. was never the one that brought that up. the c.i.a. sat down with the state department and thought how can we make you look good and they never came up from that. >> a republican from utah was on "meet the press." he had a document he said was an internal state department document to cheryl mills, at the time hillary clinton's chief ofç staff. it was dated the day after, september 12. the state department in this document was telling the president, a bolivian congress that a terrorist organization did it. the state department of the united states giving this to libya, we know who did it. the big question is why did we tell the libyans the truth, and yet the administration told us a lie? >> there are some elements to this in that we don't know what happened with those weapons taken there.

what was the c.i.a. operation? what about those guns? were they supposed to go over to syria? so the rebels which now we find out some of which were made up of al qaeda members and if the c.i.a. identified that terrorist group as the one operating on the ground, how come two years later we don't have a single person killed or captured? >> if you're an american you wouédç want answers and the truth when it comes to why our own were killed and attacked that day and why the american people didn't get to the bottom of the truth or didn't get it from the administration right away. the select committee's intention is to get us there, but there are some like democrat adam schiff who says this is a waste of time. >> i think it is a colossal waste of time. we've had four bipartisan investigations already. i don't think it makes sense really for democrats to participate. i think it is just a tremendous red herring and a waste of taxpayer resources. i hope the speaker will reconsider but it looks likeç he has bowed again to

those from the farthest right of his conference. >> that interview with bret baier afterwards, many people are saying when he saw that, when the speaker saw that, he goes that's it. if that is their explanation for what went on that day, we're going to finally do the select committee. >> tipping point. heather childers, we're going to tip our hat to you for standing in for heather nauert today. >> nice to see you. hope you all had a great weekend. investigators in rhode island, they're looking for clues this morning trying to determine how a circus extent went so horribly wrong. ♪ ♪ >> man, performers, they were hanging from their hair and they plummeted nearly 40 feet to the ground, all of it happening in front ofç a packed house. >> i screamed. i'm like that's not right. sometimes you're surprised. it is part of the show but

magazine the couple got their wedding license last week but kim's publicist responding saying, quote, there is no statement. until there is the show there is no after the show. >> if you look at the calendar, today is the fifth day of may. it is cinco de mayo. a couple of years ago in morgan hill, california, a high school forced four white students to remove their american flag shirts because they were afraid there was going to be fighting between the white students and latino students on cinco de mayo. the kids wouldn't change their shirts so they sent them home. since then the courts ruled the school had it in their power to do that to try toç keep the kids safe. >> the rule in february permitted to suppress the white students from free speech rights to default to the free speech of others. where did freedom of expression become freedom

to oppress the freedom of expression of another? >> if it's america and you have an american flag on, you wouldn't think you'd get in trouble but that is what is happening. that is called the heckler's veto where some people feel as though the heckler will cause violence you make the heckler change their spots. is thisç playing patriotism even on cinco de mayo or any type of ethnic holiday, is that something that should be permit stph-d do you understand the school's point of view on this? >> a number of tea party organizations are going to rally outside that particular school later on today. they say it has nothing to do with cinco de mayo. it has to do with freedom of speech. there you go right there. there's some folks from that organization. it's just sad that the american flag offends some americans. >> there shouldn't be a place in this nation where the american flag offends anybody. what greater sight would you rather see than students getting together

to share their background in peace. i think they would be able to handle this better than adults involved. >> what did betsy ross do all that great work for if you can't even show your minutes after the hour. >> i think that is probably right. also it is one minute before 14 after the hour. coming up, we showed you that terrifying circus fall. up next, the two parents who caught it all on their smart phone. >> ben affleck banned from casinos in vegas. we'll tell you what he is accused of doing. ♪ ♪aseball fans cheering]

it is principle. you and i are paying more taxes than before. president obama hasç expanded the power and reach of these bureaucrats and they get better pay, better bonuses and they got a job for life. yet their organization is not run efficiently. they seem to get these bonuses without review and without performance. we look at what the i.r.s. did a couple of weeks ago. $2.5 million paid to over 2,000 people who have not paid their own taxes. 2.8 million. then you've got the $900,000 paid to john beale. >> the guy from the c.i.a.? >> who pretended to be from the c.i.a. he didn't work often. he got $900,000. government isn't efficient but we've got to pay for it. then you've got cases like this. people are hopping mad. >> we talked about this before but there is a culture of corruption it

seems in some ofç these government agencies. >> yeah, but this president is all government all the time. that is his policy, which means a vast expansion of bureaucratic federal worker power and yet you've got this kind of thing happening all the time. people are really angry about this. it goes to the point of if you work for government, you're playing by a different set of rules than if you work in private enterprise. private enterprise is stamped on. government is encouraged and we pay more and more for it all the time. >> there are a lot of people who work in government and they do a great job. they do a service that's needed. but unfortunately for people lookingç in, they go but the government is just getting bigger and bigger and bigger. the president is for big government. >> he's all government all the time and you get abuses like this surfacing within the bureaucracy. it makes people hopping mad. >> again. he's going to be hopping over to fox business at about 11:00 this morning. he's got a two-hour show. it's great. check him out.

definitely dead when their heart would stop. so that was a moment. your heart was beating and then stopped. then there was nothing you could do to get it back. now over the last 50 years, through resuscitation and cpr, we can bring people back. what's amazing is that particularly last ten years, we realize that it's o. j. simpson after a person died and become a corpse that the cells inside their body, including the brain, start to undergo their own process of death. they don't do immediately. muscle cells can be alive for a whole day. what we can do is we can manipulate those processes like by cooling so the chemical processes don't occur very fast and then go back and restart the heart and that's why we have people who have been dead for hours brought back to life and they can tell us their stories. >> the brain cells continue to move on. you also see the soul continue, the brain cells, but also the soul of a person continues to

live well after we would ordinarily call them dead. >> i think the key thing to realize is that i don't necessarily use the word soul. what we talk about is what is human consciousness? that's what makes us who we are. what we now realize is that just because somebody has died, it doesn't mean that their consciousness has also died. when a person reached a point of death, their brain cells haven't become anilated. >> you say the key is cooling the body when death is there. not freezing the body. you also brought up the fact that if you were able to treat those passengers from the titanic, that maybe you would have been able to bring them back. >> again, this is not me. this is resuscitation science. science evolved in the last 100 years. if you think about when the titanic sank, people were found ruiner one or two hours after they had died, which today we know it's feasible to bring

people back after four or five hours. on one hand science is allowing us to reverse death, at least in many cases. on the other hand, you have these incredible people who have gone beyond death and come back with their testimonies of what it was like. they describe feeling amazingly peaceful. they describe seeing a bright, warm, welcoming light which takes them towards it. they describe seeing relatives welcáájjt them. describe a beautiful area. >> this is all scientifically backed up. we thank you for being here. your book is "erasing death." raising brows today. thank you. >> thank you. >> coming up straight ahead, how is this for an attention grabber? >> i'm joany. i grew up castrating hogs on an iowa farm. when i get to washington, i'm know how to cut pork. >> she's smiling. does this humor really work? frank luntz is breaking down the funniest political ads. >> and donald trump has been steamed up about something that

how this circus stunt went horribly wrong. wow. the performers were hanging from their hang, first of all, and they plummeted nearly 40 feet to the ground. it all happened in front of a packed house. earlier we spoke with a family who was in the arena when this happened. >> my four-year-old just kept saying issues mommy, i hope the pretty girls are okay. i hope the rest of the ceiling doesn't fall on them. the whole ride home he didn't understand why we couldn't stay in the the extent of how hurt they were. >> 11 people were hospitalized with serious but amazingly nonlife-threatening injuries. ringling brothers & barnum & bailey circus canceled the rest of the shows for the day and they will conduct an investigation internally to find out what happened. another disaster 'cause on camera at an air show. a pilot killed when the small vintage plane crashes and explodes into flames.

donald sterling situation. he referred to donald sterling's girlfriend, or whatever she is, a pal, as a girl from hell and also said donald sterling was disgusting. right after that appearance, donald trump went to twitter and he tweeted this out. quote, it is amazing that after lambasting donald sterling on "fox & friends," some dishonest press only reported my girlfriend from hell statement. donald trump joins us listen this morning. are you shocked at how selective the press can be when they want to make somebody look bad. >> the press is very dishonest. yes, there are great ones, but so much of it is totally dishonest and that was an incredible example. i knocked the hell out of donald sterling for five minutes. said what ad about guy, what horrible things he said. and i said just in passing and by the way, as the girlfriend from hell, and everybody laughed, which is obviously true.

i mean, this girlfriend is taping him and with very bad intentions obviously. she's bad news. but what i really did was really knock him strongly and when the show immediately after i said it was all over thousandses and thousands of articles, all over the place. all over the world that i was defending him. nobody -- know, because i did it to you. but nobody was tougher on donald sterling than i was. but what they did is used the girlfriend statement like i was defending him by blaming the girlfriend, which was so dishonest. interestingly, about 20% of the press said wow, that's really dishonest reporting because we heard that and we checked the transcripts and he really went after donald sterling. nothing to do with the girlfriend. so reporters are really dishonest, especially political reporters. i've never seen anything like this. i've been in politics sort of all my life. but it's interesting as it came out that i was a conservative person. the way the press goes after you is disgusting. >> you were one of the first and one of the most harsh when it

came to comments on donald sterling. the facts are the facts. >> let's see how many people actually correct the record now today. >> maybe none. but these are really dishonest people. huffington post is pathetic. you have some guy highway never heard of, he goes on the air action trump is defending sterling. anybody that read it or saw it, you know how tough i was. probably tougher than anybody. but these are really dishonest people and they shouldn't be -- you know, we should reinstate libel laws so you can go after people when they make egregious statements. but the libel laws in this country are ridiculous. >> if you google our names, you'll see similar things. let's follow benghazi. really moved last weekend. now we understand a special committee will be seated and naming the people. this weekend the democrats were going out of their way, congressman schiff and former congresswoman, there is no there

there. they might sit out this election of the select committee. what's your sense on how they're handling it? >> the one thing i will say, benghazi seems to not have resonated other than on fox and a couple other groups. it hasn't resonated. in the last few days, it is starting to take a new life. , which is a great thing. because what happened was unbelievable. there is something that nobody talks about. they know who these killers were and they don't do anything about it. they don't go get them. i don't know how they don't go in and get them, but that's this country now adays, a weaker place, unfortunately. they know who many of the killers were and don't go in and get them. so benghazi has never resonatessed and it's starting to resonate. i have seen it over the last three or four days. maybe something is going to come out of it. >> you can run, but you can't hide from the truth. but there was truth that was not sought after, right? mr. trump, we're talking about a press here who was happy to go along with the story that it was

a video that inspired these killings of our own. i think americans just want the truth. what do you think this will mean moving forward? will this end up haunting hillary moving into 2016 if she decides to run? >> most of the press, and the liberal press in particular, most of the press does not want to talk about benghazi and they want to protect anybody involved with respect toç benghazi, and it's sort of incredible. they are their own agenda. nobody ever understood why, but they certainly do. most of the press does not want to discuss benghazi. they're protecting many people. hillary happens to be one of them. >> you know, it kind of goes back to what you were talking about with the first point where they selectively edited what you said about donald sterling to make you look back and at the same time, it's not like they're doing anything other than simply avoiding benghazi. that way if nobody is talking about it, it's all about stonewalling and everything else, hoping that it will just go away, donald. >> i just say for your viewers,

maybe this is the point that we should all make, it doesn't include you and maybe even you and in a certain way, who knows. all i can say is i have found the press to be among the most dishonest institution. i've never seen anything like this where they can take a story, knowing the truth -- i've had reporters tell me i know that, but nobody wants to hear that. in other words, they will knowingly write false stories. i have found it to be one of the truly dishonest institutions. now, with that being said, there are some great people in the press and some really talented people that are very honest. but there are tremendous numbers of very, very dishonest journalists. i hope your viewers, when they read things, will read them really thinking about that and with a grain of salt because the level of dishonesty is incredible. >> talk about honesty, you raised honest kids. ivanka was on with greta on friday and said this about what kind of president you might be.

>> as an american, i would love him to run for president. he is incredibly smart, incredibly knowledgeable. he's had tremendous experiences which would prepare him for the challenge. as a daughter, it's more complicated obviously. it's a very tough life and the political one is a challenge. but i think he would be an absolutely phenomenal president. he has very strong viewpoints, but he always listens. >> she just wants you to run for president, become president so she can run the company. >> you're probably right about that. i just happen to have a daughter that loves me. what can i say? she's a great person. we're starting work and she's in charge of it. on the old post office on pen pennsylvania office. we have a really exciting company. she is really very outstanding and that's very nice that she said that. >> are you going to run? >> does that affect your decision? >> what i'm doing is time going to see what happens in november. we have a very important election coming up. you have a lot of things could

change. obamacare is a killer for the country. you got to get rid of it. it's got to happen at some point. it starts with the senate, frankly. you got to see what happens there. i think the republicans are going to do very well because of obamacare. then you have to get a republican president because if you don't have a republican president, you're not going to end obamacare. it's going to be catastrophic. what it's doing to the economy is catastrophic. you saw some of the numbers come up. gdp growth, 0.1%, the lowest that i've ever seen. i've never seen that. then you look at china, it's 8 and 9%. i mean, china is eating our lunch. but the work force, if you look at the dropout rates, they're the highest that they've been in 38 years. so our country needs help. and somebody has to do it and that somebody has to be very special. if not, we're just not going to recover. >> donald trump joins us every monday at this time. thank you very much. we'll see you back here in a

to the man's disappearance or his death. and finally, pay pal executive waking up without a job and some major twitter remorse. he was apparently enjoying himself at a jazz fest in new orleans when he started tweeting out profanity-laced insults aimed at just about everyone in his company. later on he tried to explain what happened, tweeting again this, last night i was using a new phone that i bought because i wanted to test experiences on android. those messages were meant for a colleague. not surprisingly, no one is buying that. pay pal tweeted out he's no longer with the company. treat everyone with respect, no excuse. pay pal has zero tolerance. so watch what you tweet. those are your headlines. >> thank you very much. kind of crisp outside even though it's may. maria molina has the latest on that for us. >> that's right. good morning.

hello. it's a little bit on the cool side here across parts of the northeast and that's the story as well across parts of the upper great lakes and also into the pacific northwest. i want to take you where it's not cool and crisp. this is the area that it feels like summer today. we could be setting record highs across parts of texas, oklahoma, and even into kansas. oklahoma city, your high temperature today could reach 97 degrees. it's going to stay hot out there as we head into tuesday and also wednesday. the fire danger is high across parts of the southern plains and also into the four corners region and by wednesday, we could be tracking our next storm system producing some areas of severe weather across the center of the country. let's head back inside. >> it's that time of year. thank you very much. new benghazi e-mail revealing just how far the white house went to tailor its message about the attack in libya. so why are democrats still trying to spin the story into a partisan attack? former cbs news reporter sheryl atkisson covered the story during her time at cbs and joins

us live. good morning to you. thank you for joining us. >> good morning. thanks for having me. >> i was on your facebook page and i saw that one of the interesting things bret baier had tommy vietor on to talk about the e-mail i was referencing. what's interesting is he revealed that he himself was involved in editing the talking points, which flies in the face of what the top guy at the c.i.a., mike morell, said in sworn testimony in fronts of congress. now, one of the two of them is not telling the truth. >> when you run across apparent inconsistencies like that, we don't exactly know what's behind it, but it certainly does raise a red flag covering the story as a journalist. as you said, mike morell, the former deputy directsor of the c.i.a., testified last month before congress and written testimony and his verbal testimony that the white house did not make any sub tantive changes nor request any changes and in fact, he echoed what jay

carney, the white house spokesman, said all along, which is the only change the white house made was changing consulate to diplomatic post. but if what tommy vietor said on fox thursday is correct, it's directly at odds with those proclamations from the other obama officials. >> right. it was the e-mail that blasted all this into a new realm here in terms of media awareness. david plouffe, who was on those e-mails, copied on there, he took on laura ingraham and she let him kind of have it here and i want to get your reaction to their he says it's just political. >> this has been politicized like we've never seen before. i think what's happening, richard nixon talked about a silent majority in 1968. there is a very loud delusional minority that's driving our politics that's in control of the republican party. there is no conspiracy here at all. >> what we know now from the e-mail is that from the beginning, the administration saw benghazi as a political problem. you're on that e-mail.

you were the white house senior political advisor and this was a political problem. the politicizing was going on at the white house. that e-mail was clear evidence of it and the state department admitted in the new e-mail just released, sheryl atkisson had the report, that the secretary of state, assistants secretary of state, beth jones, said al-shariah responsible for this attack. why did -- >> in the rose garden -- >> why did he go to fund-raiser the day after? >> what is happening here and it's spoked by fox -- stoked by fox news. it's an amazing thing. >> you're masters at this. >> you say? >> well, the key words they use such as conspiracy and delusional are in my opinion, clearly designed to try to controversialize a store, a legitimate news story, to some degree, that's successful. but i think primarily among those that don't want to look at this as a story in the first place. but i see that as a

well-orchestrated strategy to controversialize a story they really don't wants to hear about. >> it's interesting in the past, when something pops up that there is an ongoing investigation about, you had george bush say, i'm going to put a special prosecutor involved and he demanded everybody cooperate with the investigation. now you have someone who just puts up -- you have an administration who puts up blocking signs and goes after those asking the questions. we look at your background, you're hardly somebody who goes after conservative causes. you go after everybody. you went after the bush administration, you called it a bait and switch. you investigated the red cross in 2003. you're pursuing this story like everything elimination. how is the answer you're getting different from anything else? >> i basically am trying to keep my nose to the grind stone and if i were influenced by the left wing blogs and the people who are trying to steer public opinion a certain way, i would

be left covering nothing but the weather now. i'm still continuing to do what i see as my job, but i can tell you that other investigative journalists have noticed the trend that you've mentioned. i was at a conference about a week and a half ago and these are reporters, pulitzer prize winners from the "new york times" and other publications who are all raising red flags about what the obama administration has done in terms of restrictions to press freedoms and they were saying things like we have to speak truth to power and stand up and take action. >> interesting stuff. can you stick around? we have more questions for you. >> okay. >> great. more with sheryl atkisson coming up in about two minutes. >> coming up straight ahead, dozens of veterans died waiting for care at the v.a. hospital. now the whistle blower says the cover-up was all about money. he will join us live straight ahead. and she plays a powerful washington, d.c. insider on "24". how kim raber joins us on fox

when you see a place like media matters, when they kick into gear, what were they doing when you were working on a story that was favorable to their points of view as opposed to when it's not? >> they distribute a lot of research information, facts, press releases, complaints to the media. we listen to them just like anybody, a good idea can come from anywhere. and in general, i always considered media matters because of the direct coordination with the obama administration almost a defacto spokesman for the administration that could say things that sometimes the administration wanted put out there, but couldn't say directly because it might be seen a little bit as crossing the line. so in that instance, for that purpose, media matters could be helpful. >> sure. david brock was on the cnn media show a while back. he had this to say regarding you and other things. listen to this. >> we do work with reporters. we're a media watchdog up. >> you're saying you have a diverse number of donor, but

they all have the same interest, don't they? same liberal politics at heart? >> sure. i think their interest is in honest journalism and afire debate. i think we think and i think our donors believe that the vast majority of cases of people get accurate information rather than misinformation, that's going to serve the progressive cause, sure. and we're open about the fact that we are a liberal organization. that doesn't mean our facts are wrong. >> and he was on to answer some of your claims that they work with you at cbs and things like that. then he went on to say, you do shoddy work. he's just taking a shot at you. they're not a watchdog. they're an attack dog, sheryl. >> the only kind of interesting thing about that is some in the media treat them as if they're some sort of neutral journalism organization rather than a clearly partisan blog and there are counters parts on the right that do similar things. but the media doesn't take the

right wing questions, but they will embrace media matters position often and i would just say media matters doesn't bark at parked cars. i think the harder they come after me or other journalists, it's usually the more effective and often more well-awarded stories that i've done. in other words, they've been recognized by my peers as being legitimate stories, recognized for their excellence and those are the stories that media matters hits hardest. so i think you can kind of see where they come from. >> without a doubt they could learn a thing or two from you. you've been even handed in your investigations and we thank you for being with us today. >> thank you. >> pursue the truth. >> indeed. 11 minutes before the top of the hour,. she plays a powerful washington, d.c. insider. she's on the hit show "24". kim raver here next. >> first on this day in 1866, memorial day was first celebrated in the u.s. in new york. in 1891, the musical hall noun known as carnegie hall made its

history of medullary thyroid cancer, multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if you are allergic to victoza or any of its ingredients. symptoms of a serious allergic reaction may include swelling of face, lips, tongue or throat, fainting or dizziness, very rapid heartbeat, problems breathing or swallowing, severe rash or itching. tell your doctor if you get a lump or swelling in your neck. serious side effects may happen in people who take victoza including inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis) which may be fatal. stop taking victoza and call your doctor right away if you have signs of pancreatitis, such as severe pain that will not go away in your abdomen or from your abdomen to your back, with or without vomiting. tell your doctor about all the medicines you take and if you have any medical conditions. taking victoza with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar. the most common side effects are nausea, diarrhea, and headache. some side effects can lead to dehydration, which may cause kidney problems. if your pill isn't giving you the control you need,

of the congress, on the republican side would like to see prominent democrats on this committee. the question is -- if you listen to adam schiff over the weekend, he's saying no democrat should join this committee and that puts people in an interesting spot. whether they say no to moving forward. we're expecting an announcement, official announcement from speaker boehner today likely and congressman trey gowdy could be the chair of that. >> when you say announcement just to have the guy who is going to head it all, trey gowdy, or everybody that he's nominating? >> no. i have think it would just be announcing the chair. remember, they have to have a vote on this to move it forward. but soon after the chair, i think you would get a list of who is being invited. >> sure. >> so after last week, we're going to take a little -- do. what was your reaction after speaking with tommy vietor?

the exchange that occurred really sparked in the public eye, the curiousity and really the demand for truth once again when it came to benghazi and what occurred where the president was. we're going to let everyone listen and let you relive it and give us your reaction. >> did you also change attacks to demonstrations in the talking points? >> maybe. i don't really remember. >> you don't remember? >> dude, this was like two years ago. we're still talk being -- >> dude, it's the thing that everybody is talking about. >> we're talking about the process of editing talking points. that's what bureaucrats do all day long. >> credit to you for get not guilty there. but what were you really feeling and thinking right there? what do you think about hearing it now? >> let me just start by this, i went to the white house correspondents dinner over the weekend and alt the events around it and 32 people started the conversation with me saying, dude. so that just gives you a sense of where that sound bite went. but listen, i think that beyond

tommy vietor and his reaction, there are clearly things to answer. remember that this thing is bigger than just that moment. there is a lot of what it was before the security. we talk about it. what was during the attack. not how fast did they get there, but was anything activated? three, the political, as republicans would charge, cover-up, the narrative before the election, and there is now a fourth act, which is there has been nobody who has been killed or captured as a result of this attack two years later. and where is that headed? >> bret, the other thing is a lot of people watching right now, doing a million things at the same time says what's going to be different about this select committee that is is going to be different from what we've been looking at for the last two years? what will be the difference in the format? >> the format will change dramatically in that you won't have congressmen kind of giving speeches for four minutes out of

their five and asking a question that doesn't really get answered. it will be more coordinated, more pinpoint questioning, and you would likely see some of the witnesses that came up the last time come up again, but asked very different things in a different time format. so it enables that committee to kind of drill down on things that haven't been fully drilled down. >> one of the things i'm sure they're going to drill down on is something that was brought up on your program with tommy vietor and sheryl atkisson was talking to us about it a couple minutes ago where tommy told you that he, tommy, had made at least one change in the talking points. and that is completely different than what former c.i.a. top guy mike morell said under oath in front of congress. one of the two of them isn't telling the truth. >> the white house said forever that they didn't change anything. they only changed one word, from consulate to diplomatic facility. tommy in that interview, unless he was tremendously mistaken, suggested that he changed a

couple of things and it was no big deal. listen, there is a focus on these talking points because this is this new e-mail from ben rhodes and we've talked about the significance of prepping the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. for those five sunday talk shows and the white house says it wasn't about benghazi. that doesn't really pass the smell test with reporters in the white house and all over. the important thing is what comes out next, because it's going to be new information that drives this story. not the rehash. i think there may be other documents. there is a d.i.a. document that will come out, we're told, very soon that also paints a picture of what they knew in the first moments of that attack. it's important to point out, brian, that these other committees had subpoena power, but this one will have subpoena power, but be more focused on the questioning. >> a lot came out during your interview. we also found out the president of the united states was not in the situation room, which is

where we think when it hits the fan, that's the first place he goes. but the information came out this weekend that maybe he was too busy with debate prep to show up in the situation room. >> we don't know where the president was. we know he wasn't in the situation room, according to tommy vietor who was in there. and obviously a president can handle a crisis from other parts of the white house, but that was a fact that we didn't know two years ago. >> sure. great work, bret. >> thank you. >> see you next week, dude. heather childers has breaking news. >> headed to las vegas the next day for a fund-raiser. >> that's right. >> lots of questions still remain. we begin with this for you. breaking developments in the search for missing girl. we just learned british police are heading to portugal to start digging up three sites near that resort where she vanished nearly seven years ago. detectives say they plan to use radar equipment to search for new clues that portugese

our v.a. was struggling to provide basic chevy transportation. i protested vehemently that this was not going to work at the phoenix va because we were underfunded. we didn't have the resources or space. we didn't have the money and this placed an increased workload on the providers to do this job and follow this model. the v.a. for years has said every system is perfectly designed to get the results that it does. well, look at the mess in phoenix and ask yourself who designed that. that would be the washington v.a. micro managers. >> and what other questions and what other people would you like to see grilled in fronts of congress, forced to explain their actions? >> i think probably petzel and dr. lynch, who is the number three guy. i believe he's due here in phoenix and he's going to get a firsthand look. he was here last week. i don't know what all he did there. i think he just went to sort of a prearranged presentation of

carefully picked people that hellman put him up in fronts of. but we have a criminal investigation here. we have the director, the associate director and the chief of has on administrative leave. criminal i.g. is here. they confiscated a ton of computers. i know a lot of people have said they don't have faith in the i.g. and i admit my faith was a little shaken in it. but the way they've approached it this time, they're definitely rebuilding my trust in them. i think the i.g. will get to the bottom of it and i think the v.a. is terrified of that because it will show that the model has been a failure. >> it's been a failure and a lot of people are doing things unsavory in order to get their bonuses. shows you there is a problem with the system. we know it's an early call for you today. thank you for joining us. we appreciate the message and the courage to come out. >> thank you very much for having me, brian. >> 18 minutes after the hour. we move ahead. liberal group talk political attacks taking -- taking political attacks to a

for them to ask them to remove the shirts was absolutely legal, they say. >> protesters are set to be there today as well as police in case -- >> because now it's official. you're not allowed to wear them. instead of taking them off, they're like, you better not come to school. >> just today. >> right. >> and we asked you what you thought ab donna in virginia had this to say. we don't suppress atheist speech at easter or christmas, even when it is quite distasteful. >> serenity tweeted out, are these kids as patriotic the other 364 days? nothing wrong with patriotism, but lots wrong with antagonism. >> interesting there. tweet from rick says this. >> the american flag and american patriotism should never be restricted in america. god bless america. 365. i'm a genius. i would make a shirt and say i'm going to give you an option of wearing the american flag and the mexican flag in a split situation. you're charged $9 for the shirt and that money goes to the students council. >> look at you solving problems.

>> does anybody else have a problem? i'll solve it. >> that would be great if it worked because it shows some unity. but keep in mind, we're in the united states of america. a lot of people died for that flag and for the courts to say no, you've got freedom of speech and expression, except today, that's a tough one to take. >> again, something that probably could have been handled within the school itself. brian, to your points, make you can toss that out and see if they'll implement it. >> i like the way he priced it out at 9 bucks. >> 9.99. >> all the shirts around here are 25 bucks. >> exactly. that's why it makes it such a great offer. i like the way elisabeth says i should put it out there. i think i just did. >> you need to follow it up. >> specifically to the school in writing, or tweet format. >> okay, fine. >> she's patriotic always. she's heather childers. >> yeah. i would wear one of those shirts, brian. >> thank you. nine bucks, it could be yours. 9.95. >> at this hour, investigators in rhode island are looking for clues this morning to figure out
