"outnumbered" starts now. >> here is our panel and today's #oneluckyguy retired army colonel alan west. he served in deperation storm, iraq freedom and afghanistan. he was awarded a bronze star. today he is outnumbered. >> this is normal for me with a wife and two daughters. this is all right. they told me to act normal like i am in the house and sit in the

corner. so put me in my corner. thank you. i can talk for food. >> you got it right. >> normally i have my motorcycle so i can escape. >> you should have parked that out back so you can escape. >> looking forward to it. >> the sparks are flying where lawmakers grilled an irs chief about the agencies targeting scandal. the hearing is in a hold for a vote for other issues. but thousands of e-mails from lois lerner are missing and could be gone after it was revealed they were lost when the computer crashed in 2011. one of the most heated moments was when paul ryan took his turn. >> you don't have the e-mails? hard drive crashed?

you learned about this months ago and we had to ask you monday? this isn't being forthcoming. this is being misleading. this is a pattern of abuse and misbehavior that is not giving confidence this agency is being impartial. i don't believe you. this is incredible. >> i have a long career and this is the first time anyone says they don't believe me. >> i don't believe you. >> that is fine. most of the 27 pages is exhibits when asked about the custodian -- >> will you let him answering the question? >> i didn't answer a question. >> gentlemen.

>> the gentlemen's time -- i control the time. >> regular order. >> if we are investigating criminal wrong doing, targeting of people based on political beliefs and the e-mails in question are lost because of a hard drive crash that is apparently unrecoverable and you don't tell us about it until we ask you that is not being forthcoming. >> and earlier today people were gasping in that room when he once and for all explained the fate of that critical hard drive. >> your letter says the e-mails are not recoverable but fail to mention where the damaged hard drive is? >> after it was determined it wasn't functional and no e-mails could be retrieved was recycled.

>> was it physically destroyed? >> that is my understanding. >> was it melted down? >> i have no idea what they did with it. this was three years ago. >> let's go straight to colonel west. your thoughts? >> it is hard to try to excuse this away because the irs tells us we have to keep records up to seven years and they are m mandated to keep e-mails for up to two years. so saying this is all gone that is not acceptable. we have an agency that is doing good with collecting meta data called the nsa so turn it over to them. there is one agency at a galvanize the american people it is the internal revenue system. >> this isn't a republican or democrat issue. this is an american issues. >> as you and i talked about

this it is a liberty issue. you have 16,000 irs agents coming in and they are going to be the one in charge of our health care and the next irs return you will have to check the box when or not you have health insurance coverage so they have so much intrusion into our lives and we are seeing this pay out where they feel in an arrogant way they are not responsible. and i think that republicans are kind of getting tired of the heisman trick that is being played on them. >> let's flip the switch. let's see it from the democrats perspective. we have a little from nancy pelosi now. >> they need to upgrade their technology, get it right so there is no suspicion about what agenda anyone may have on that. >> all right. so she is saying the problem for the irs is their computer technology is behind the times and that that was really the

problem. >> just blame the technology like they blamed low level employees. a lot of americans would love for a team of it experts to go in and question that guy. there is no way there is not some trace of this. those e-mails landed in someone's box. if they want to find the e-mails they will find it. and as a conservative, i love that side of paul ryan. if you bring that out we might give you another shot. >> it was said the white house isn't lifting a finger to help. why isn't there? >> there is no up side for democrats to defend this and suggest it just a technology problem, okay, then, but why? why were they not backing things

up as they are required by law to do. it is kind of a remarkable thing this person sits there and not even apologetic. he is not saying well -- i am sorry, it just seems like common sense if you have a hard drive at the irs you preserve that. >> it is six hard drives of six individuals involved in this. nancy pelosi did say she believes this and maybe we should spend money and fix the system. well that should have been done a long time ago and i felt it was demeaning for the irs commissioner to not have an answers of where that is. >> and later in the hearing he

was asked does lois lerner have a black berry or i-phone and he said i don't know and i will find out and be happy to let you know. >> every government employee has a black berry or some type of mean. if the democrats are seen as aligning themselves with the irs this could be a huge political issue going into the mid-term. >> president obama making surprise remarks during a news conference on the growing crisis in iraq. listen to how he answered this question? >> do you wish you had left a force in iraq? >> keep in mind. that decision was made by the iraq government. >> that is different than what he said in 2012. watch this exchange with his then opponent. >> with regards to iraq, you

agreed there should have been a status of forces agreement. >> that is not true. what i would not have done is left tens of thousands of troops in iraq that would tie us down. that would not help us. >> we left how many troops in germany? and they are still there. how many troops in korea? they are still there. bill clinton said we would only be in the bal kins for a year and we are still there. i think the president was caught up in a campaign promise. you never give up terrain you have taken. we created a vacuum and the prime minister talked to us in 2011 and said if you withdraw your troops in iraq and no footprint you will create a vacuum. we are going to have to deal with the isis enemy today or

later and i would rather deal with them now in the infant stages. >> i am curious your take? >> he did use it as a campaign issue but it is also true that prime minister was going to let him leave troops. so there was no way to get the status forcement agreement and you cannot leave troops without that. >> if you show resolve and strength in that part of the world they will build to your will. and when you think about the treasure and our resources sacrificed there, you just don't go back and say okay, then we will not do anything. it is interesting we are looking at the verge of the exact same thing. >> so you would have sent troops without protection for immunity? >> he didn't want us there.

there is no question. >> he would not be in his position of power if it were not for us. >> that is true. but he didn't want the u.s. there. he is not a good partner, right? >> i agree he is not a good partner. but i think we could have done more influence in that situation. >> i think the key is americans didn't want us there. you can look at the president saying he is flip-flopping but the bottom line is 80% of iraqis didn't want us there and americans didn't want us there. and i think most americans will stand with the president if he takes a back-seat on this. i think many americans think he should have taken a more back-seat on this. i think he has a lot of public support here. >> i hear about war fatigue. how many people in the united states have war fatigue?

a soldier, sailor, airguard, they want to see a mission completed. the only way you win wars is win or lose it. you don't pack up and say i quit because the enemy has a vote. >> a poplar teenage clothing line is at it again. giving out pens made to look like needles and you will not believe what they say on them. and coaches at the world cup are laying down the law for players and wait until you hear the things players are banned from doing in the bedroom. my mother made the best toffee in the world. it's delicious. so now we've turned her toffee into a business. my goal was to

last year they had to pull a line of items for looking like prescription bottles and pills. we reached out for comment but haven't heard back. this is a store that teens frequent. does this bother you? >> this wreaks -- the store is desperate. the stocks are down. they are trying anything is what this tells me. this is just an insult to the families dealing with this epidemic. i am sure everybody on panel has a story of someone they know or their best friend knows that web has been affected by this drug. >> there is a particular problem with heroin in new york.

the number of people seeking treatment for heroin has risen by 40%. do you think advertising or marketing contributes to this? >> i think it is this culture war where people promote things and you think it will have a financial benefit but it goes against the culture -- fill -- i have two daughters. and this makes it tough because they come home saying everybody else is going there. so we to educate the kids we don't go along with everyone. it does make it difficult for parents to get out there and to the right think. >> harris, i want to play

devil's advocate. what about people that say let parents do the explaining. >> that is the devil. i am outraged by this. as a parent or just as a person i am outraged that we would elevate this to the level we are going to sell things based on drug use in this country. and by the way the little picture we showed of the cup that looked like a bottle of oxy cotin that was a shot glass. they are cross promoting the change of drug use. it is like a slippery slope. it isn't funny. it isn't funny. it is offensive. >> but wrap music and everything. with daughters, think about the way they portray girls with the music videos and the lyrics. this is the culture thing we are

facing and it does really hurt parenting and it is an every day fight for parents to be able to stand up against these incredible peer pressures out there. >> is the answer the free market? parents are responsible for buying a lot and they will respond saying they don't like and it will play out? >> i guess so. but part of the free market is speaking out and saying they don't like it. they promoted drinking to children basically. they had a star of david patch t-shirt similar to what jews had to wear during the holocaust. who are these people? >> worlds only living heart donors. >> i think people should start speaking out. >> parents don't need the job to

be any harder. >> i agree with that. vice president joe biden spent four decades in the senate before becoming the second most powerful man in the world but no one is urging him to one for president. and the new evidence suggesting the number of single mothers are on the rise. why more women are not waiting to say i do to have kids. to say i do to have kids. 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 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,

>> [bleep] you! >> unchain wall street. they will put you all back in chains. >> he did not say that. >> there was so many more, i thought it would go on longer. >> what is he going to get you in terms of the midterms? cozy up next to a big name like hillary clinton, war on women dialogue, you need somebody who's going to help you with the dialogue. i don't know you get so much from the vice president. >> what you think of hillary clinton as a juggernaut who is going to become president? >> i don't think she is the strongest candidate. if you look at this last week, she has to go back to get some of the tools sharpened up to get on the field again.

this is what i think they are looking to do. you want to run on the emotion issue of the first female president and if you don't agree with that, you are sexist, misogynist, the people in that situation. joe biden doesn't get you anything. >> sticking with what you are talking about, what do you think, there was a politico article about this, they support hillary, this is something i said over and over again. they feel like it is their time. >> there is no other viable option could be something here. joe biden has to work on his personal relationships a little bit better in d.c. a lot of this is a reflection on his boss as well. if he wasn't declining ratings by the day into the midterms joe biden may be in a different seat. >> likability issues, noted

parallels because joe biden is a weaker candidate. he is a guy conservatives like me find he is funny, entertaining, charismatic, those are the things hillary clinton has revealed she is absolutely missing. some very different possibilities i think historically they will go behind hillary clinton, but he is interesting. there is a lot of crossover, a lot of republican women. even more so. >> most americans think the global image is worse off under the leadership of president obama and former secretary of state clinton, raising questions of how that might impact a possible presidential run in 2016. a new poll shows 55% of americans believe the nation's prestige has worsened since they came into office, of that

number, 34% say it has gotten a lot worse. is this the struggle this administration has had with foreign policy for example? >> what you saw when president obama came into office was to get away from gun toting diplomacy to make america more likable but the world is more machiavellianone peace, love and coca-cola. so what you are finding his we present the cute little reset button to vladimir putin and he threw it in the trash can. you try to make nice with china, now china is taking over threatening the balance of power in the pacific. you look at sedan said on the i.

why don't we tell the sudanese to get off of it? there is a sense of weakness for the united states. >> it is not just a united states thing. republicans say americans was standing has withdrawn. 57% of independent terrorism say america standing and prestige in the world has declined under president obama. >> i watched the president do an interview on tumbler and he had great salesmanship. this is about selling what works. we feed, clothe, love, free more people on the planet than any other country and i would argue in this history. america is just that special. i am not the president, i can sell it. i almost want to throw my time, why doesn't the president take a page out of that book and say it

is not with pride, maybe it could be, but we were wrong. >> he is a very exceptional country and has spoken to country abroad about the great things they have done. i think he never said the word i'm sorry, by the way. i don't think he apologized but people have just turned against the president on every front. who even knows about being specific of any foreign-policy. people are just unhappy with anything he does. people were quite upset you have this information come out after the election, i think he is having a country turn against him on every front. >> the pope is turning against marijuana. why he is condemning attempts to legalize pot and other

johnson, do something good for single mothers, provide them a check from the government but at that time it was at 6%. today it is 45%. you are seeing what used to be the foundation absolutely devastated now. something i never saw growing up as a kid in the inner-city of georgia. this intent by the government but they never think of the second or third affect. >> it since some of the problem so many african-american men are not married to women? unfortunately a lot that have been incarcerated. >> that is why we have to focus on the inner-city. detroit, chicago. 41 shootings in chicago, or than

iraq and afghanistan and that continues to cause this breakdown. >> you say that is something that is a trend we can follow. >> without a doubt. every statistic out there says children grow up better in two parent families. for those who grow up fine in single-parent families? absolutely. but it is now becoming the norm. look at jessica simpson and her football player boyfriend. they had all their children and then got married. kim kardashian doing the same thing. >> i try not to compare my life to kim kardashian. >> it is on every magazine in the supermarket. >> most having children out of wedlock are not like this. educated people tend to less likely have a child out of wedlock.

economically insecure by having a child out of wedlock. >> you are around more like-minded people in college. i have a question for you, would you consider this? i know you are single, beautiful, smart, you may not find that child if you don't need him. >> if i could economically support that child on my own. and numerous studies have shown a two-person household is better for children. you have to think non-traditionally about aunt and uncles and grandma and grandpa. not everyone has a traditional family but they have love and support financial and otherwise around them. it is a lot more complex than a lot of people give them credit for. >> they place such a heavyweight on education because your heart
