10:02 am
the sidney bloomingthal has been around the clintons for a long time and his role with them stretched combrnd libia. he was advising her as far back as two where are 09. >> this is how the e-mails could impact the benghazi situation. >> reporter: his role goes beyond benghazi. he was conduct being phone calls with british prime minister gordon brown on behalf of secretary clinton and putting together an agenda with hillary clinton's meeting with merkel. he was knee-deep in sensitive matters and the key here white house officials had banded him
10:03 am
from being on the state department payroll. he was receiving money from the clinton foundation on the outside and advising hillary clinton on all of this. and top white house officials like david a xelrod was trying to get her e-mail address and eventually got it and e-mailed her on the private server and just a couple of weeks ago, a xelrod was surprised the top aides didn't know about the private server at all. >> it is unusual that the chief of staff, i confess, i was there and senior advisor and i didn't know that. >> interesting because now david a xelrod was e-mailing her on her private account based on the e-mails we are receiving now. and the clinton campaign is pushing back hard and suggesting
10:04 am
that there is nothing new here. and watch this. >> do you know more today than who was responsible for hitting our consulate in benghazi. >> no i never expected sidney bloomingthal to tell me that. we'll have committee hearings until the lord comes back if that is what it takes. >> they are trying to say there is nothing new in the document. the clinton campaign is revealing she raised $45 million in the first quarter of the year. that sets a record this early in the campaign. >> interesting, we'll talk about the e-mails we haven't seen coming up in a moment; thank you. >> the hillary and sidney connection is delving deep in foreign policy.
10:05 am
catherine is live in washington. >> reporter: the state department released limited number of e-mails and sidney bloomingthal's assessment of libya politics. and no information was shared on the private e-mail account. but over two dozens of the new e-mails were upgraded to classified and it is routine to upgrade to classified process. and the subsequent upgrade did not mean they did anything wrong when or violated the law when they sent or received this information. they received e-mails from former u.n. embassy from susan rice and cheryl mills and jake sullivan. a select number of members
10:06 am
investigating benghazi said the priority should be on the e-mails leading up to the terrorist attack and it is one block after another. >> i can't understand why they didn't do march of 2012 to december of 2012. to me it is a delaying tactic. >> reporter: the source said they have had relevant e-mails for some months but he was silent on whether they were satisfied that the clinton e-mail record was now complete. >> thank you very much. >> we'll bring in brett hume who is a fox analyst. we'll start with benghazi. we heard from the congressman that was speaking on american newsroom saying we haven't received all of the e-mails we've requested. will we ever so all of the
10:07 am
e-mails that the the committee wants? >> it is not clear at this time and the particular set of e-mails dates back to 2009. and congressman westmooreland suggested that the state department would put the most relevant e-mails out sense it is produced to the public yes. and the committee from 2012 which was when the benghazi attack occurred. that raises fresh questions about the state department and how cooperative it is being to go back to 2009. there are nuggets in here that bear on important things not least the relationship between secretary clinton and bloomingthal. and he had a dodgy relationship with ethics and she painted him in the past as one of my many friends and i communicate with
10:08 am
him from time to time and on the e-mail we heard she was reaching out to him in the middle of the night wonder figure she could call him. >> let me ask you about that years of reporting in washington d.c. hearing this as an outsider plays in the public fears that you have a shadowy figure playing in the huge government decisions that impact our entire country. and based on your reporting experience, is this typical? >> it's not uncommon for people in the top levels of government to reach to people outside of the government from time to time. this relationship was different. this was a character so notorious that the obama administration didn't want him around and forbade her to hire him. he got a job with the clinton foundation that paid him and leaving him to be a deal maker
10:09 am
and a guy with a big- time access to the secretary for his own personal benefits dealing with foreign governments and relied on him more than she admitted as an advisor. it is unusual and a piece of the way the clinton inc. works. her in office and bill out on the stump and doing business with foreign governments and staggering sums of money, and all of the relationships with the foreign governments and money pouring in to the clinton foundation and in their election cofferes. he hired her and made a contract with an outside organization which he was a principle partner. >> and the questions are raised what the administration anyhow about the action and e-mails. it is tough to know who to believe on this brett. when we look at e-mails with the
10:10 am
state and benghazi. state department e-mails released because of the questions over the server ares and the benghazi erngs mails released because of the investigation goes on. and the new york times has a title. clinton trough shoes fax machine confusion and little fodder for opponents. apparently clinton had questions about her fax machine and that's what the new york times is talking about. we don't know. we don't have the e-mails in their entirity. >> we don't and the order that the state department is operating under is releasing so many a month. and we have to wait for another installment in a mpth. this is the way the major news outlets are reporting. they don't take an interest in the substance of the e-mails or whether they foster fodder for the republican critics. they don't cast doubt on
10:11 am
secretary clinton's actions or what the e-mails show except they are critized by republicans and creates titfor tat. >> and clintons actions were ethiccal or illegal or some serious consequences beyond eyebrow raising to them; what do you think about that? >> these are typical of the way the clintons operate. probably not illegal. but probably not ethiccal either. there are structures about how you are supposed to maintain e-mails and she clearly worked outside of that and that is clearly improper. and so the whole thing is improper. and this is the way they operate. they are never quite ethiccal or
10:12 am
illegal so far. >> and many more e-mails to go through if we see them all. brett, appreciate it. >> thanks, gen a. >> major developments in the u.s./cuba. both countries agreeing to reopen embassies in each other's capitols. this is expected to happen later this month. the president hailing it as a new chapter in u.s./cuba relationships. >> americans and cub ans a like are ready to move forward. and i believe it is time for congress to do the same. i have called on congress to lift the embargo that prevents americans from traveling or doing business in cub a. we have already seen that it work. >> the 50 year embargo on the communist island 90 miles south of florida was ineffective. critics say he is rewarding the

10:34 am
this came about not because of tiny people with a true religious based objection to vaccination. this is all of the people who abused it and claimed a religious xechlgdz when they were believing in a false science. >> and let me ask you, doctor in all of this. if you had the families that opted out because of religious exemption. would that be enough to keep the people safe in >> a lot of times, we have to done the studies. people who opt out because of beliefs and opting out because of religious beliefs, they cluster together. and so what you get is micro communities within a small radius who have low vaccination rates and this puts that community at increased risk for spreading the disease amongst
10:35 am
themselves and surrounding communities and that's kind of what happen in the measles outbreak. >> it is grow think. we talked about it before there's been an idea that the vaccinations cause different conditions like autism. it is not proven by facts. but the group think and one idea that captured the attention of the parents rightfully and wrongly. how do we move to the facts, based information that the vaccinations are safe and leaving room for parents to exercise their own right. parents make decisions for l families. >> as you said jenna, the group think and group psycheicology is important. we have folks who are well known and could influence the group. jenna mccarthy. hint hint they get the herd
10:36 am
going in one direction and in this instance it was unwise and unhealthy. and it caused a public health crois or square in california and maybe in other states. and to turn that around. psycheicology requires that we have a significant person in the community who had celebrity, and say that that leader was wrong and i am right. that is not only good for your and our kids and it is a public health imperative. nreally the way we change our mind is rely on laws and edkigz? >> right, the whole thing started with famous people to influence the group any they were under informed and i know

10:38 am
with the permanent. >> i agree to you with a certain extent. lights in the state. if we use the first amendment i can't yell fire in a crowded building and i can't use fighting words. >> and absolutely. it is a safe community for so many years until we had a group think problem. it is not religion or free exercise it is group think and science. >> doctor you said that someone who deals with infectious diseases. we need a national strategy to keep our country sieve. >> i knowledge happen. the peoples are prenot toment.
10:39 am
and so are are other disease that we have pulled away from a lot of the population of the united states. and these germs are bombarding our country all of the time because of people traveling into the united states. it is our vaccination rates in our community, and in this case the community of the united states, protecting our citizens from those measles and pumps and all kinds of diseases. and if we have certain pockets and holes in the armor of protection that we have in the united states we are going to see more and more outbreaks. >> okay let me ask you a final question for everyone. doctor, i will start with you. do you think instead of state laws on this and it is a california. and who would have thought california would have done this.
10:40 am
now california said you have to be vaccinated. should it be a federal law and initial level; is that the right fix? >> i would like that to be the case. but our constitution is not set up that way. they give recommendations, but it is up to the states to ratify the recommendation. and each of them do it differently is i think what we need to do as a increase the vaccination rights any way we can. and it would make it a lot easier. in >> it should be i 12 captain campaign issue. the group thinks can and so it
10:41 am
toe. and law, and they go to a itate where they vent to have the state law. and we'll see measle out break. and we need to protect the united states of america. >> i respect theitution and first amendment and free exercise of religion. and i think we need to go state to state and increase vaccination rates and education. and i strongly support changes personal belief and supporting the tiny number of people with a true religious exemption. i think we achieve better vaccination rates without infringing on anyone's free exercise of religion. >> it is a very interesting
10:42 am
debate. you look at your baby and say what is the right call? sometimes the medical questions, it does make you take a second look. >> and can i say. >> quickly. jenna, thank you and fox news for the support in the passing of my father. it meant a lot. >> we have thought about you doctor, and we care about you. and i know we don't look like part of the same family but we feel that way. even though we have the boxes up. >> next to have you all back. thank you. >> thank you. >> jenna, a privacy advocates, they are up in arms after the court ruled the nsa, can continue to collect the phone records of us. millions and millions of americans. and coming up. do you think it is good idea to keep us safe.

10:48 am
illegally spying on us. some worry without it we would be less safe. we'll have the manager for the national security law system. good to so you as always. >> it was on hold for six months and now the court said we can resume. >> the aclu's lawsuit has no merit. when the second circuit court of appeals rowelled it was illegal, they stated their opinion. and we'll not enforces stop the program because congress would debate this and congress passed the usa freedom act. in other words, specifically acknowledging they would collect the data and they had a six month transition period.
10:49 am
>> take a look at what the nsa said. we use close partnership with the fbi to collect bulk telephone records. and the data gives us information about what communications end. and where you are. and what kind of device you are using. they say they know everything about me. and it goes too far. >> it doesn't. and in fact congress debated this. and the foreign court in washington is the court that issues specific orders for queries of specific phone numbers that are associated with terrorist or known terrorist organizations and we are in a transition period when the government has all of the data pursuant to the enteleigence court to six months from now when they will keep the data and the government will not have it
10:50 am
at all. that was specifically in the legislation. >> and we have all of the chatter about july 4th. and could this help to i think that lawful surveillance is a key aspect of our national security. that's beyond question. and the fact that isis and those associated with isis or inspired by isis are increasing their chatter and trying to conduct attacks, 4th of july is a big time. it's a symbolic time for our country. it means a lot to all of us of course. if they could conduct even a small-scale attack it would be a strategic victory for them. >> hope it doesn't happen. good to see you. thank you so much. >> thank you. cue the music from jaws. you might not want to go in the water after seeing this. >> thank you. look what these guys pulled in from the surf at a popular summertime destination. plus the trouble with
