we're learning more about the tampa socialite who inadvertently exposed former cia director david petraeus's extramarital affair more than two years ago. back then, joe kelly's flirtuation military brass sparked petraeus and paula broadwell who wrote nasty anonymous e-mails bad-mouthing kelly. e-mails that led to an fbi vestigation. now according to newly obtained e-mails, kelly had a way with several top military officials. not her way, a way. one change with marine general james madus had kelly gushing quote, everyone thinks you're a rock star! he responded i wish we could clone a couple thousand of you. another e-mail had kelley complimenting vice admiral howard saying, quote -- let me catch my breath. >>> up next, a week of highs and lows for the crowded republican field for president. we'll reveal who had the worst week of them all? ually what happens next after this transasia jetliner turns on its side and crashes. all coming up here next. at ally bank no branches equals great rates. it's a fact. kind of like shopping hungry equals overshopping. . lou: a few comments now on the potenti

of that committee, congressman trey gowdy, revealing a who's who list that includes susan rice david petraeus, leon panetta, jay carney, general mike martin and general martin dempsey. my next guest says you don't get on benghazi if you don't invade libya. there is evidence that secretary clinton was pushing hard for that invasion. joining us now, former congressman fox news contributor, dennis kucinich. good to see you. >> thanks, lou. >> the news that trey gowdy called this list of insiders that's got to be encouraging to everyone who wants to know what actually happened. your thoughts. >> you know it would be an opportunity for the american people to gain insight into the decision-making process and the people who were right in the middle of that discussion whether or not to go war against libya. so i think it's very important that chairman gowdy proceeds with this. lou: and proceeding as he does with some of the people in the administration former officials as well. do you think that they will, for the most part be forthcoming or reticent? >> i think that everyone will want to tell their

that didn't come until 2007 when he told general david petraeus. when i was flying in the helicopter, that helicopter was shot at by a former. and in 2013, williams was still repeating that story saying, quote, and i have done some ridiculously stupid things under that banner, like being in a helicopter i had no business being in in iraq with rounds coming in to the airframe. and to david letterman later in that same month. >> two of our helicopters were hit, including the one i was in. we were only at 100 feet doing 100 forward knots. >> what happens the minute everybody realizes you've been hit? >> we figure out how to land safely and we did. >> he even made the claim as recently as just last week. >> the story actually started with a terrible moment a dozen years back during the invasion of iraq when the helicopter we were traveling in was forced down after being hit by an rpg. our traveling nbc news team was rescued, surrounded and kept alive by an armored mechanized platoon platoon. >> for more on this retired staff sergeant joey jones he's al

under current doctrine, that's changed, the doctrine underwent mastered changes under david petraeus with what we now call asymmetric warfare. i would argue that this is nothing new for the army. the conditions they find, the individual issues are different. the basic conditions are pretty similar that you're trying to restore order in a very complex world, often with very few resources. >> for more information on booktv's recent visit to corporate -- corpus christi texas, go to c-span.org/localcontent. >> next, conservative commentator and writer nick adams. he argues that united states will bounce back from its current troubles and dominate the 21st century. this is a little under one hour. >> you know sometimes in america's 200 plus year history it is required a fresh set of eyes visiting some distant lands to help us see ourselves more accurately. the best example probably is in the 1830s when a french nobleman, de tocqueville, came here originally to investigate america's prison system. his mandate or his investigative purview expanded as he got here. he became fascinated with w

insist on as quick as possible decisive defeats because i for one, congressman, can't imagine a david petraeus saying to douglas macarthur i've got a great plan for a long war and the next thing, that becomes doctrine. >> well lou first of all let's go back to 2009-2010 where we basically had them defeated and all their military experts were telling them if this president followed the direction he was going, this was going to happen. this didn't surprise any of our military experts. you hit the nail on the head when you talked about this is a president that really tries to have his foreign policy based upon crisis as opposed to having any kind of strategy that he can articulate and stick to. you know i'm chairman of the sea power and projection forces subcommittee. i spend all day in briefings studying where our military is around the globe. i can tell you, i do not know what their strategy is. if you came and walked with me in the halls of congress today you couldn't find that strategy. unfortunately, our allies don't know that strategy. that's the big component that we're missing right now,

then during an interview with general david petraeus in 2007 williams claimed it was his helicopter that fire. and in 2013 on late night with david letterman the story blossomed. listen. >> two of our four helicopters were hit by ground fire including the one i was in. >> no kidding. >> rpg and ak-47. >> the soldiers who were actually on the chopper that got shot at were always annoyed by the fabrication but didn't say anything. then last week brian williams made the claim again. and the soldiers spoke out and williams apologized. listen. >> this was a bungled attempt by me to thank one special veteran and by extension our brave military men and women, veterans everywhere, those who have served while i did not -- >> the chopper pilot who flew brian williams now says they did come under small arms fire but williams and the military say not true. still, people are calling for him to step down. megyn. >> trace, thank you. so should there be punishment here? joining me now new york trial attorney and fox news legal analyst and marc eiglarsh who is a former prosecutor. i am stunned that real

also joining the conversation now is a former senior intelligence adviser to general david petraeus especiallye iraq war. colonel, great to see you. we've been talking about the fight in iraq and in libya. let's stick with libya for a second. how significant do you think as chris puts it he thinks this is the second front of isis. what do you think? >> i think we're going to see multiple fronts and not just in libya. they are taking advantage of the crisis in that society there. they have a good beach head. they are taking advantage of the tribal dynamics in libya. there will be limits for them because it's a difficult environment even for isis to expand in a significant way because there are forces that will be aligned against them. it's going to be greatly destabilizing and it will give them a place from which they can then launch other operations and infiltrate into southern europe. >> on that point, we are seeing greater involvement as isis moves into libya and other arab nations joining the fight against isis. jordan and egypt. these are countries the united states is allied with. you als

worse, our commander of forces in iraq and afghanistan, general david petraeus may be indicted for passinglassified information to his mistress. his cronies are rushing to his defense and insist the married general's affair didn't happen while still in the army. but after he left the service and took over at cia. if they're wrong then petraeus would be guilty of adultery under the uniform code of military justice. the most egregious case of perfidy is sergeant bowe bergdahl who walked away from his unit in afghanistan and spent five years as a prisoner of the taliban. since bergdahl's release last may, president obama welcomed his hippie parents to the rose garden and dispatched his incoherent national security advisor susan rice to describe the deserter as having served his country quote, with honor and distinction. we eagerly await the long-delayed final reports on petraeus and especially bergdahl. it's unlikely that the general, an elite media creation who lost two wars, will be prosecuted. he is the keeper of many secrets. as for sergeant bergdahl the tales of his long captivity and od

that current doctrine underwent massive changes under david petraeus with much greater focus on what they now call asymmetric warfare. but i would argue that this is nothing new for the army. these are the conditions they find all the individual issues are different, the basic conditions are pretty similar, that you're trying to restore order in a very complex world. often with very few resources. >> during booktv's recent visit to corpus christi, texas, we talked with the author of "claiming citizenship," anthony quiroz who recounts mexican-americans and their fight for civil rights in victoria, texas. >> i think that american history itself is a story of citizenship and who's a citizen and who's not and who decides. and so for mexican-americans the story of our history has been this ongoing struggle for equality, for inclusion. my book looks at the period from about 1940 through the mid 1980s, and i examine the different ways in which mexican-americans in victoria texas, struggled to become equal citizens. so i look at their behavior in the churches their activities trying to chang

glenn: it was the secretary of state hillary clinton david petraeus. three were telling the president you have to arm the rebels in syria. you have to send in weaponry. he didn't do it. he rejected it and now we have got what we have which is an escalation of terrorism emanating from northern iraq. >> i think we would learn lessons from iraq. the sung was successful. we needed a residual force of 10,000 to stabilize the country. we have an obligation, we have a responsibility, we are the leader of the free world. the fact that we haven't articulated that premise the valuing underscored is frankly a tragedy. >> we know the lessons of history, when the united states is perceived as weak or weak in real terms the wheels come off the world. the good guys retreat and the bad guys advance. martha: we have a little bit of breaking news in the world of politics. we can confirm the dnc is going to take place in philadelphia in the summer of 2016. it will be the week of july the 5. rnc will be in cleveland the week of the 18th, the week before. so back to back p

director david petraeus, then-secretary of state hillary clinton then-chairman of the joint chiefs of staff martin dempsey and then-secretary of defense leon panetta all of them recommended at that time that the president initiate a program to arm vetted moderate syrian rebels. president obama refused publicly remarking just one year ago that isil, islamic state in the levant, was the j.v. team of terrorist groups. today the irony is the president has now sent authorization for use of force to fight this j.c. team as he called it a year ago. then last summer when the challenge had grown many times more complex and more difficult the president had dusted off the idea and moved ahead with it. this is not exactly a picture of decisive leadership, nor is this designed to instill respect indeed fear in our enemies nor confidence in our allies. today with isil growing in strength in the region, our commander in chief cannot even bring himself to call the evil that they represent by their rightful name. he refuses to acknowledge that isil is a radical islamic group even after these jihadists
