lives and maybe a million vietnamese and spreading the war into cambodia so so fast forward to iran contra right jimmy carter's president just to take with a very similar happens with the rand contra which i covered at the associated press in newsweek and and that was that we thought we thought at that time when they were in contra scandal broke that was about eighty five to eighty six there were these strange sales to iran which had been hidden and some of the money went to the contras in nicaragua what we now know based on some of the material coming out of these archives is that this also goes back to this earlier election fraud scheme where ronald reagan's campaign and some of the same people that were involved with nixon try again to use a foreign policy crisis this time the hostage crisis mind jimmy carter so we now know that in some ways iran contra was an extension of this earlier perhaps more more serious scandal so next talked to to talk to the folks in vietnam and said don't negotiate with l.b.j. because l.b.j. had basically was they were ready to end the vietnam war nixon blew

we're at the point where the face of crusading anti-gay rights is an obscure lawyer from the iran contra scandal named chuck cooper who's not to be confused with the more well-known actor of the same name. to define somebody to be the face of the de facto position of the republican party, you've got to go to this guy. you've got to drag out old gary bauer like fox news channel did yesterday. you've got to drag out gary bauer to argue that people are not really in favor of marriage equality, the polls are skewed. gary bauer's argument on fox news sunday was that people, americans broadly really do secretly hate gay people, but they're lying to the pollsters about it. the same way they told the pollsters they would vote for barack obama and then on election day, they all showed their true unskewed colors and voted for governor romney. really, gary bauer? really, you're the best they've got? this is the de facto position of the republican party, but republicans don't want to argue for it. so you get gary bauer, you get old tony perkins there on cbs, making the same version of the gary bauer

rose quickly, then he became a republican and in the administration he became embroiled in the iran-contra scandal. angela attended brandeis, an east coast school that didn't help her feelings of alienation and she joined the communist party usa and first rose to national prominence when she went head to head with governor ronald reagan in california when the board of regents fired her from her first position as professor for her membership in the communist party. she was soon after, the concentration of events in these people's live in the 70s was remarkable, charged with murder and kidnapping and conspiracy in connection with an attempted jailbreak in the marine county court house in northern california. you went underground to me they capture, she was captured and spent 18 months in prison before her trial which was covered the world over. i will read you one more piece from that. this was when she gets captured. re-entering the motel in the late afternoon and gillette noted dark suited men milling about the lobby. she kept down the now familiar feeling of panic that spread through her.

international day for the elimination of racial discrimination and ultimately if you go back to the iran contra scandal here in the u.s. they were not necessarily the most welcoming of feelings towards iranian americans or perhaps iranian refugees were that were living in the united states now let us keep in mind that you know it's difficult to come and to live here in the states if you are from a different background that we're not familiar with you know i remember when i first moved here to the u.s. i was put in a sort of students with for difficulties class who had trouble learning and i had no trouble learning i was just put in that class and sort of. you know forced to be there and i remember like saying to my my parents my teachers at the time like why am i here and there they were saying oh it's because you're different and i had to sort of like fight my way out of there in my first few years here living in the united states because i wasn't born and bred here i guess well you know you hear a lot in your parents and then and that everybody wants to be different right i got me appreciate

during that time, he got involved in the iran-contra scandal, referenced in ollie north's diary. he reached a setback at this point, but then, a few years later, ends up in panama, head of south com and ends up being in charge of forces there when we depose the leader of panama in the early 1990's. he ended up working as an energy cant enron chesapeake energy, and then we see him back again. he becomes a coin go-to guy in iraq. if you watch the film, you'll see rumsfeld and wolfe wits speak highly of him publicly and rumsfeld, some of the stuff we got from his own website where he talked about what a great job steele is doing and how he moves in and out of countries from time to time keeping an eye on things. cenk: they have a curious standard for success. is it that dick cheney thinks that ok, i don't care about the 75,000 dead in el salvador, finally, we've got a right wing government and it's stabilize so here cares about the dead, same thing in iraq, or is this chaos somehow part of the plan? i mean, why do they celebrate it? why take a guy that you know started a civil war i

hours a day, seven days a week to try to unearth the truth and then you look at ronald reagan and iran-contraot a dissimilar situation in terms of possible arms transfers to different groups around congressional approval and yet, there seems to be no interest whatsoever on the part of our media. >> right. >> to dig and to try to get the real answers. >> the answers to the big questions what were we actually doing in benghazi, was it a transfer of arms from al-qaeda and the infamous in libya to syria, was it going on without congressional approval. did the president of the united states know that was going on and sanction it? the american people have a right to know. >> there were probably several things going on there and probably the first thing going on was probably recovery, 15,000 lost, and you can explain that in the new york times, the agency. were they doing covert action without covert action authority. did they have a finding for what they he were doing, and that is-- >> you think this runs much deeper than even what we're discussing here, that-- our last guests talked about there we

these aren't iran-contra. >> it's all relative. >> our first e question deals with social media snafusto the problem of facebook, twitter, teens posting things that maybe mom and dad don't want out there. >> first the teen has to apologize. assume it is an inappropriate picture. we have seen it a lot lately. i think the teen needs to do that. the second thing the parent wants to think about is there may be legal ramifications. we need to make sure we are prepared for that. third thing i would do, i'm a parent of two kids, that teen's butt needs to be kicked. you know -- >> sometimes it just comes back to that. >> it does. you need to understand the consequences for your actions. that's important. >> good advice. the next comes from andy in indianapolis. she writes my husband works full-time. i'm a stay at home mom. my husband has it in his head that i should be responsible for everything involving our kids. i start going to college this fall and i know i have to rely on his help more. is this going to fall on me or is there a way to convince him to be more helpful with his kids? >> tha

in the administration he became embroiled in the iran-contra scandal.angela attended brandeis, another east coast mostly white school which didn't help or feelings of alienation. and she joined me -- joined the common his par u.s.a., and she rose to national prominence when she was taken in with governor ronald reagan in california, when the board of regents fired her from her first position as a professor for membership in the communist party. she was then very soon after, again, the concentration of events in these people lies in the '70s was remarkable. she was charged with murder and kidnapping and conspiracy in connection with an attempted jailbreak in the marine county courthouse in northern california. she went underground to evade capture. she was captured and spent 18 months in prison before her trial, which was covered the world over. so i will just read you one more piece. this is when she gets captured. reentering the motel in the late afternoon, angela noted in passive dark suited men milling about the lobby. she was probably imagining thin

. >> that is beats iran-contra. i'm not saying it is. there are some unanswered questions.ple being held out of eyesight? are they being held because the state department said, you guys are contractors. we're never going to give you another contract if you come forward to say what really happened in benghazi. bill: there has to be reason? we've been reporting at foxnews.com 37 personnel in benghazi working on behalf of the state department and cia. of those 30 sieve, 33 were vac it can the and -- evacuated and other four were killed. >> who are they? were they contractors. former cia or special-ops? we don't know. there are more and more questions every time you take a look at this. bill: i find it hard to believe you can keep 33 people quiet on a story. eventually you do. eventually they talk. >> when one talks they all talks. bill: kt, we await on time. kt macfarland on the reaction from lindsey graham. 11 minutes before the hour. here's martha. martha: very interesting. a small plane has crashed into a quiet neighborhood. it destroyed three homes. look at these pictures.

it took a long while to get iran-contra. it took a while.at fox news has done by speaking out of the i appreciate your guy going on the scene. keep in mind the fbi couldn't even get into benghazi for weeks. your guy got in there before anybody else. martha: unbelievable. >> ultimately if the american people want to know there will be a select committee. martha: congressman wolf, thank you. please keep us posted, thank you. >> we will do that. thank you very much. martha: thank you, sir. have a good day. bill: quick check of the markets on a tuesday morning. how about an eight-day rally? is that possible? will the dow 30 see another all-time high? will investors look this some profits? 14,440 is on the monitor at 9:39 in the morning. that is amazing number. martha: it is. especially given the economic backdrop, hard to explain some ways but perhaps the u.s. is still the best market going out there, right? bill: take a bet on the market and take a bet on this. we're only hours away from making history at the vatican. cardinals about to meet fo

when i was in the white house during watergate, in the pentagon during iran-contra hearing, often whatill set up a special select committee, draw some members from our services, from homeland security, from the intel committee, and put them together in a special committee that then looks into just this subject and i think that's the direction they're going in and it would probably have to be out of the house because that's where republicans hold subpoena power and hold a majority and it would have to be something republicans in the house would do. i don't think anyone in the senate wants to touch it. >> alisyn: we'll look and see if the select committee is the next step here. kt mcfarland, always great to get your information. >> thanks, ali. >> alisyn: there's pressure for lawmakers in cyprus to make a deal and avoid a crisis. time is running out. and a judge issued a warning to the veteran administration some of our vets are kept waiting a year or more for critical disability or health insurance claims. what one judge decided to do about a bag log of more than 800,000 cases. the g.o.

poppy has iran contra neil has the teenage thai hookers, george has everything.ay to deny what he wrote in his book. >> yeah. now i don't hold the position anymore. >> stephanie: and you also honed in on my favorite moment where he said my guess is history will be kind to my brother. [ laughter ] >> stephanie: the further out you get from this and the more people compare his tenure to what is going on now, i think history will be kind to george w. bush. [ phyllis diller laughter ] >> stephanie: and as only charlie pierce can write, and cleo, a muse of history looks thoughtfully at a bottle of drain cleaner, and wonders if she shouldn't flavor it with a touch of cream demint. >> yeah, cleo is treateder very roughly these days. first of all there is no polling data to support this. and it wouldn't be true even if there were. history has had its verdict and it didn't take long -- to history -- he is sort of the jody arias of this scenario. >> stephanie: so you think he is running? >> at the moment i think he is certainly acting like he is. everybody is running now.

at the very beginning of iran contra, the defenders of president reagan said this is nothing and brushed it off and it almost devoured the last term of the reagan presidency as much as we see him as a hero now. at the time it was huge. the same thing with bill clinton and his second term. if president obama's administration doesn't come forward now, make the survivors available, cooperate with the congressional investigation by putting it off, it can build bigger and bigger and ultimately tkwoer his second term -- devour his second term. that would be a tragedy not just for the president but for the country. >>steve: thank you very much. great piece today in forbes. 18 minutes after the top of the hour. say a little prayer for her. dionne warwick is in serious trouble with the i.r.s., to the tune of $10 million. how did that happen? we'll explain. >> federal workers are more likely to die than lose their job. and it's costing you the taxpayer a fortune. a closer look next. one-on-one w of your retirement plan. >>brian: quick headlines. today the supreme court takes on its second same-sex
