they need to get people like elijah cummings out there. as you said they are sticking their chin out on the republican side. someone needs to hit them. >> predicated oen the assumption that there is still shame. i'm not sure there is. elijah cummings is very good. >> i asked bernie to help out. if i were hillary i would say we are in a great dignified contest. >> we don't have robert welsh. have you no shame. last year just to put another nail in this coffin chairman ft ohouse so-called oversight committee led his investigation into the benghazi attacks. he said he had suspicions that secretary clinton issued a stand down order. suspicions. let's watch him in action. >> we need to have an answer of when the secretary of defense had assets that he could have begun spitting up, why was not one order given to turn on one department of defense asset? i have my suspicions which is secretary clinton to stand down. we heard about the stand down order for two military personnel. >> that charge has been shot down by every investigation, even republ

you can't do it through your lawyer through a press statement, through elijah cummings. it's your personal responsibility. you have to show up. >> you can write a letter. all right. the second thing to say here is that with regard to hillary clinton's numbers, i think it hurts her again. it just stirs this issue again with the voters. and i think that's to my mind the ongoing issue in terms of her dropping numbers. republicans can't stand her. but now what you get is bernie sanders saying you know what, he doesn't even think it's the issue. he thinks the issue is that he's the one who's speaking to middle class issue, worried about college and all the rest. >> we have to get to this. so the state department hired a new transparency czar to handle records requests. clinton's e-mails in particular. janice jacobs happens to be a big supporter of hillary's. she made a $2700 donation to hillary's campaign. the department is deflecting criticism. >> this is the united states of america. it's a democracy. people are allowed to do this kind of thing. and to suggest that just by

representative elijah cummings said about this.s is the identical approach taken by chairman issa when he served as chairman of oversight committee, forcing witnesses to assert in person for a photo-op. mr. benghazi has nothing to do with benghazi attacks. everything to do with republicans insatiable desire to derail hillary clinton presidential bid. would you like to respond to that. >> it is heart for every statement to be inaccurate but mr. cummings managed to pull it off. we're doing it very differently chairman issa did it and different when the democrats did it when they ran the asylum. letter from linda sanchez on because because committee. she very different view invoking right to incrimination. they threatened to make a witness come in have public hearing. as you know this is private hearing today. and contrary to what mr. cummings said, we have to talk to mr. pagliano. we have to make sure the record's complete. we have to make sure it hasn't been exfoliated or corrupted in any way. frankly we have to make sure what other

spokesman nick merrill declaring -- the top democrat on the benghazi panel elijah cummings rushed to clinton's defense by claiming pagliano is only taking the fifth because he did not want to be drawn into a political spectacle. he admitted it would be better for pagliano to talk. >> am i surprised that he has decided to take the fifth? no, i'm not surprised. am i disappointed? yes. because i would have loved to have heard what he had to say. >> reporter: republicans note it's harder for clinton allies to cry politics when there's a nonpartisan fbi investigation looming. >> this is the one guy that can put all of this to bed. him pleading the fifth speaks volumes. >> reporter: clinton is eager to testify in public to the benghazi panel in late october. the story may have legs as we edge closer and closer to the early caucuses and primaries. lou? lou: ed, thank you. ed henry. >>> in china president xi jinping presiding over a massive military parade to commemorate japan's surrender in world war ii. the extravagant parade, the most forceful display yet of china's military power after w

this especially given that hillary clinton and all her aides claim and elijah cummings claimed they want to talk. >> i think it's smart legal advice on the part of his lawyer. if you look back to the 90's and all the collateral damage that happened to people in the clintonor bit during investigations, dating back to the macdougalls and white water, and you look at what's happened to people not just in clinton investigations and others, it's a quick hot, skip, and a jump to it a bad memory to being indicted for impeding an investigation. >> sure. but the clinton campaign, charles, has said and insisted that they encouraged everybody to talk to these congressional committees, including brian pagaliono. >> that's what they say but you don't know where the one eye was winking when they were telling him that if you go through the logic, you ask yourself why would the guy take the fifth? what's he afraid of? he is just an it guy. he could hardly be prosecuted for having set up a server on behalf of the high administration official. so what's he afraid of? i think it has to be contradictory tes

he went to elijah cummings from maryland and said why don't you schedule the clinton time when she commentsin. meet with her team we need to make sure we have had had every document we requested and 30 days to review those documents. you know and i know those documents have not been forthcoming which is why we are in this that that he we are now. it has been the with of the committee that has revealed private objection. this arrangement that secretary clinton has made with herself. >> do you have any suspicion that the 30,000 deleted emails the ones defended indicated as personal? do you have any good faith basis to be suspicious that that has some relevant information to your inquiry? >> i have no confidence in anything that the clinton team is saying right now about these emails. past assertions have shown that time and time again, sect clinton and her team haves mislead people, overstating. i have zero confidence in the assertions of secretary clinton up until now. i think it's her murderren obviously to explain herself and duly selected committee of the united states congress. >> thank

so last week congressman elijah cummings and i sent a letter to mr. skrelli asking him to explain why the price of this drug has skyrocketed by over 4,000%. now, the good news -- or it appears to be the good news -- is that mr. skrelli recently said that he would lower the price of this lifesaving drug, although he has not yet indicated what the new price will be. but, let us be very clear: this is just one of many, many examples of price-gouging within the pharmaceutical industry. let me give you another. in the united states, the prescription drug sovaldi, which is used to treat a very serious and widespread disease, hepatitis-c, cost $1,000 a pill. $1,000 a pill. in europe, the same exact drug made by the same exact company costs $555 a pill. and in egypt and india, the same drug costs $11 a pill. now, mr. president, the cost of this drug has become so expensive that medicaid and the veterans administration and many, many veterans are suffering with hepatitis-c, both medicaid and the v.a. are rationing access to sovaldi and other blockbuster hepati

you're working with elijah cummings from maryland. what's your point now?hat could you as president of the united states do to reduce the cost of prescription drugs? >> two things. first of all, we pay by far the highest price in the world for prescription drugs. one out of five who gets a prescription from a doctor cannot afford to fill that prescription, that's totally crazy. they get sicker, maybe they even die. what we need to do is, number one, have medicare negotiating drug prices with the pharmaceutical industry, three th drug companies made millions of dollars. the second thing we do is we allow the united states and distributors and pharmacists to reimport drugs, prescription drugs from other countries like canada where their prices are much lower than in the united states. >> if you were president would you work to get a single pair health care system in the united states, move away from obama care and maybe get medicare for all of america? >> in my view, the affordable care act has not done a lot of good but there are still 35 million who are uni

you had elijah cummings, the ranking democrat on that select committee.issued a statement praising bryan pagliano for not testifying. when was the last time you saw a mental of congress for not testifying being praised for not testifying? >> i am a trained lawyer. if there was an fbi investigation going on and my client was called before a congressional committee, i would tell him to take the fifth amendment. you learn the first day in law school that there is no inference of criminality. we don't even know if there is a criminal investigation going on. can i finish? >> the question is -- >> it may well be. can i finish? and what hillary clinton did, tucker, when she did it, was appropriate and allowed under the rules then in exist tense. six months later the rules changed. so while monica is certainly right -- >> we don't know that. >> to say people opposed it, what she did was allowed when she did it. >> we don't know that, doug. as you know. >> i think we do. >> we don't know the vast majority of the e-mails because she has cloaked them from any superv

this is something you and elijah cummings have been looking at and working on. what is the solution. >> for the government basically to step in and say excuse me. unless there is a rationale reason like you cannot get the compounds and the substances you need to make the drugs, you just cannot jack up the price to any level that you want. and there are a number of mechanisms we have that we can deal with. but bottom line here is, what we have got to do are several basic things. number one, medicare part d needs to negotiate prescription drug prices with the pharmaceutical industry. the veterans administration does it. medicare does it. that is pretty crazy. second of all, as somebody who is not a great fan as you know, of unfettered free trade, it is amazing to me why we can bring lettuce and tomatoes in from mexico but distributors and pharmacists can't bring in low cost prescription drugs from other countries around the world. that's pretty crazy. just speaks to the power of the pharmaceutical industry. we move forward in those two areas, we will substantially

. >> michael, we have congressman elijah cummings said yesterday that trey gowdy unilaterally issued the subpoena to pagliano and that gowdy is using the committee for the political purpose of trying to smear a democratic presidential candidate. with that said, i believe you wrote it is time perhaps for clinton to reboot her campaign. how does she do that with these headlines that continue to read the way they did this morning? >> she's not blameless here by any means. as i wrote yesterday, she made an error in setting up this system in the first place. and this is going to be a bad headline, no doubt about that. but here's a question that i bet a lot of people watching this segment haven't even pondered. why is the committee that was impanelled to investigate the deaths of four americans in a consular attack of benghazi subpoenaing an i.t. guy in the first place? you can drum up gowdy, if he were here, he could drum up some phony answers to this. but they're not investigating that. it's investigating hillary clinton politically and trying to find something on her to keep her out of

elijah cummings, the top democrat on the committee, accused republicans of selectively leaking doctorednd misleading information designed to hurt clinton. then there's brian pag leanne know who set up the server and was subpoenaed to testify before the committee. pagliano said he would plead the fifth prompting the question what he has to hide. but i think the question is what does the it guy who set up clinton's e-mail server have to do with the four americans tragically killed in benghazi? the answer would seem to be, well, not a whole lot. but then again, the benghazi committee at this point doesn't really seem to be about benghazi. >> this investigation has turned into a derail hillary clinton nomination by any means necessary. >> indeed, the benghazi committee should probably be called what it is -- the house committee to destroy hillary clinton's chances at being president. remember, we have seen this sort of thing before. ken starr, remember him, special prosecutor, was appointed to investigate the whitewater land deal -- not whether president clinton had had an affair. but this

a lot of focus from congresswoman jackie spear as well as congressman elijah cummings on what they believe and congresswoman mahoney, of course all democrats they believe is a heavy focus on compensation and other issues involving planned parenthood and not what many expected to be the core of this hearing which was supposed to be what planned parenthood calls these heavily edited videos. >> i think you have to look at how these hearings play out. there has certainly already been a lot of focus on the compensation for cecile richards. what lawmakers do over the course of a period of hours, different members will focus on different issues. at the point you were asking those questions of congresswoman spear, she was correct there had been a lots of foccus on that bt now they are moving on to other topics. women democrats want to shine a light on it and say the compensation for cecile richards which was about a half a million dollars a year should not be an issue in this hearing. that's the kind of thing that will certainly draw the anger of women around the country. now they are also talking
