trey gowdy, from oversight committee and good morning from the spartanburg, south carolina. there was word there was not ample warning about the potential for the ride that eventually took the lives of four americans. today you're saying there are two things beyond a reasonable doubt that are clear to you. what are they? >> well, number one, that security was inadequate, and this cable, if media reports are accurate what it constrained, it is classified so i haven't seen it. if the media reports are accurate, that is just one more piece of evidence in what has become an overwhelming case that the administration either knew or should have known the security situation in benghazi was untenable. that has been proven beyond a reasonable doubt. secondly the aftermath of these attacks. this had nothing to do with the video. it was preplanned. it was premeditate the what we don't know and what senator graham and jason chaffetz and others are asking, mr. president, you said the minute you learned from this attack you issued three directives including

we take this up with congressman trey gowdy. former pentagon official, k.t.cfarland, and best-selling author, ed klein. and former bush adviser, ron christie. moments ago, ranking members of the senate intelligence committee spoke to the press that they had little to offer in regard to the actual testimony given. dianne feinstein, the chair, said committee members were able to watch a film that was a composite, real-time document of the beginning to the end of the terrorist attack. she announced additional hearings that are closed and open hearing will take place in the future. however, she refused to comment on whether that reflected the obama adminiitration's descriptions of the events are at the cia agents in benghazi call for help for separate times. tonight, the cia has launched an exploratory investigation into the conduct of david petraeus. he is scheduled to testify in front of the house intelligence committee tomorrow. joining me now is to congressman trey gowdy. he is a member of the house oversight committee. this is a remarkable period in american

joining me is south carolina congressman trey gowdy. nice to have you back on the show. [ applause ] >> good to see you governor. >> mike: is there any way possible that the white house did not know that this was terrorism? now that you have her the testimony of general petraeus. >> of course not. they knew before anyone else knew that it was terrorism. why would the department of state, the cia, department of defense lie to the chief executive, to the commander in chief? they knew what it was governor but it didn't fit the narrative. the narrative was al-qaeda is on its heels. when the narrative becomes al-qaeda is at the front door and they are about kill four of our fellow americans that doesn't bode well from an electoral standpoint. they knew and scrubbed out that information, susan rice either didn't have it or use it when she went on the talk shows sunday. >> mike: one of the questions is, who is the they? are we closer to knowing that? did this go to the white house? was this done within the internal operations of the cia, at th

congress not buying it, trei gowdy not buying it, thinks the white house edited the version that we sawlay out on the sunday shows. >> they knew before anyone else knew it was terrorism. why would the department of state. why would the cia, why would they lie, the narrative was al-qaeda was on its heels and when the narrative is al-qaeda is at the front door and about to kill four americans. of course they knew and scrubbed out that information so susan rice either didn't have it or didn't use it when she went on the television talk shows on sunday. >> dave: the thing i can't figure out, david petraeus on friday said that again, i knew from the start, we knew from the start it was terrorism. why in those talking points was there ever any mention of a youtube video and a spontaneous protest, if the intelligence community knew what it was, why was that ever a part of the talking points, another question we likely will not get an answer to, don't hold your breath. >> clayton: as peter king talked about yesterday, the bureaucratic way of questioning them. >> dave: getting susan rice. >> cla

chairman issa, myself, trey gowdy and others we held the hearing.the administration starts to leak other documents because they know they're behind in this communication. so the administration owes us in the congress lots of documents, unclassified documents that we've asked. i sent my first letter over to them september 20th. that still has gone unanswered. we're to the point where we will have to start issuing subpoenas because the administration is just totally nonresponsive. martha: we'll see. congressman chaffetz, thank you very much. good to see you. melissa: thank you. bill: so the immigration debate have gone to a new level where activists filed a lawsuit against the state of the arizona. why they argue a new policy preventing young immigrants from getting a driver's license is against the constitution. well governor jan brewer is here to defend and explain her position. we'll talk to her live. martha: plus random act of kindness that was caught on tape in times square. why so many people are paying so much attention to this young police off

. >> alisyn: and in fact, congressman gowdy says he will be subpoenaed if he for whenever reason he refusests to this, how exactly it got uncovered and in so doing we find out that david petraeus was using the same e-mail that you and i use on an everyday basis, e-mailing this mistress, paula broadwell, with a g-mail account. why is that important? that's easily hacked into by whom ever wants to get u.s. intelligence so that became one of the stumbling blocks in this investigation and if clayton were here, it would probably drive him mad he wasn't doing this via a completely secure cia e-mail, but e-mail that-- >> wouldn't that be worse that he would use the cia e-mail. >> dave: try several layers of security, not that g-mail doesn't do a good job of securing e-mail. >> mike: he's probably not saying this is sensitive information, sensitive to my marriage, but not sensitive to the government. >> alisyn: of course you use your private e-mail to send private steamy e-mails. >> dave: and start worrying-- >> have i put too much on this right now. let me back up. and work e-mail to do this, but
