. >> john podesta, current aid sid blume that former aid john podesta said this in 2007 at the end of it looks like they the bush administration were trying to avoid the records act by operating official business off the official systems. are they going to have a big problem, juan, politically in the democratic party? as she gets ready to launch this campaign? >> let me just say i was at the white house columnist. sigh lengths on this topic. i think that's an indication that among top white house, top democrats in the country right now, there is a great deal of unease about well what happened here? because the federal reports act is pretty clear. josh earnst and the white house have been clear that there were briefings for all officials, all cabinet officials coming into this administration. this is not an administration. they are not taking the heat themselves and saying oh, you know this is something that was commonly done. we know that other secretaries of state before the federal records act was put in place and required this did have private emails. collin paul, madeleine albrigh

john podesta has moved over to her team. he was obviously very instrumental in helping president obama take this issue on in his second term. i think there will be no doubt that she will be a forceful advocate for our planet, but also for the jobs that come along with clean energy as a result. bottom line is, chris, you know, the issue of a primary is a legitimate issue and i think she would welcome it, but she is going to have a fight. just like the president is going tomorrow to cleveland to set up this contrast between his budget and the republican budget and fighting for the middle class, she will be doing that throughout the entire election, and the entire republican machinery that has been orchestrated and set up to oppose her, including the $900 million from the koch brothers, and including all of the trey gowdy and the umpteen committees. she will have every single day the opportunity to hone her definition of what democratic values are and the contrast that it brings to republicans. >> you know, the point you make a

on february 13th this man john podesta, long time political mercenary left his job advising presidentma to begin work for hillary clinton. he brought with him a history of associations. including one with the media matters organization. the chief attack vehicle for the left. media matters run by a man named david broke and heavily funded by george soros. broke used to smear folks on the left but then he converted to viciously attack folks on the right. quite a guy. who has admitted lying about people in the past. when the email story broke on hillary clinton. who immediately went on msnbc to proclaim her innocence, the clinton campaign and john podesta will sphand there are just two national news agencies that that challenged the voice agenda with a story. the "wall street journal" page and the fox news channel. journal columnist paintedes a story on saturday. ms. noonan knees to watch her back. there is no question that powerful people in washington are watching web sites to smear political opponents. we have methodically. around space and find their way to the mainstream media which

they have john podesta who is going to enforce discipline. he has said at the white house.here was nobody doing it last time. mark: how arrested are democrats now to say maybe a coronation is in the best interest of the party of hillary clinton. we need somebody else? steve: i am not hearing that is much as the press seems to be saying it. democrats are out there and happy with the choice we have. they are happy with hillary clinton. they think she has earned it. mark: like the way cuban voters are happy with their choices. steve: not at all. if people thought they could beat or they would be in the race. they know they can't. in a how strong she is. most people are happy with the clinton candidacy and the inevitability of it. they just want her to get started. now she is finally beginning. john: steve marcoux, one person think she is vulnerable, opening the door towards a run against her, vice president biden. whether you think that is wise, what you think the applications with me if he decided to get in this race? steve: first of all, it is not wise or advisable. anybody

-- >> whoor these phantoms, when somebody like david axle rolled, who is a good guy, and said john podesta would -- and unnamed sources, he better watch himself. who are these people that speak without names? >> what doesn't make sentence they have known about this for many, many months. >> did you get this from the republicans? did you get it from the clinton people trying to put it out ahead? >> this was harder to get -- >> just sheer enter price, nobody is pushing the story on the "r" side? >> they are now that it's out there. >> but the information. >> no, that was a clean break. the republicans had nothing to do with it. that's become a narrative now on the democratic side, is that this is a manufactured story that the republicans are pushing. that is just not the way it happened. >> the select committee has known about this for many months, and they haven't donening. >> i would never thought a story like this would be front page. thank you both. i must add something tonight, by the way. it's important in my position to be here as transparent as policy possible. i want to share -- you

calendar shows in 2014 you had two phone calls the same afternoon with the counsel of the president john podesta and with the white house office of science technology policy. is that correct? >> if the calendar says that. i don't recall talking to mr. podesta, but if the calendar says that. >> you don't recall talking with mr. podesta. could you give us an idea -- do you have any recollection of a phone call with mr. podesta on that day? >> if the calendar says, sir. i'll stipulate to it. but let's -- >> do you recall talking to the white house office of science and technology? >> i've talked to them, yes, multiple times. >> can you give us an idea of what was discussed in either of those calls? >> i don't recall -- what was the date you were specifying? >> february of last year 2014. >> i don't know what the specifics of that call were. i don't recall it. >> do you have a recollection of having those calls? >> if my calendar says then you know, i must have. i don't have a recollection of it. and the other thing is you know there's a whole bunch of things that are going on that are relevant. but

john podesta who was in the white house is going to run the hillary clinton campaign. >> didn't barackma say he wanted the most transparent administration in the history of the country. >> he did. >> all right. >> the average freedom of information act request for documents from his state department is over 400 or 500 days just to get basic information in some cases. and so look he has talked about transparency and been transparent other cases he hasn't been transparent. >> order the fbi to look at server and can certainly compel i don't think you bring the fbi in fairness. >> there should be an he is investigation. >> what's the investigation? >> whether national security was compromised by using a personal server. >> there is no criminal investigation for the fbi to look into that. i agree with you though. >> there is no allegation though that china hacked in there we know they are trying all the time. >> i don't care about an alleys. the fbi is in place. it's a federal bureau of investigation to investigate there may have been some compromises in national security and so they should

john podesta wants them to sort of declare the inevitable and what is obvious, that she's running forld say quickly two things. one, there's a logistical reason for this. the second quarter of fund raising opens april 1st. the sooner you get in after that, the easier it is to raise money and have no issue with anyone talking about there being another candidate. the second thing, the longer she stays out, the longer she just has to keep taking incoming from the likes of cpac chuck on "meet the press" played this long clip hillary clinton, hillary clinton, you want to have an active and formal effort to rebut those things and get her in the race because everyone at this point knows she's running anyway. >> i want to talk about barbara mikulski speaking of people who are really heroic in the role they have played in the senate when it was not easy to be a woman in the senate. these the first and only for a long time. she rose to the appropriations chair. and now retiring she announced today. >> two women senators when she came into the senate 20 now and one thing she has done she has bee

interestingly enough is a charge that my friend john podesta, who's reportedly going to run her campaign one of the senior advisers that's the claim he made against bush administration officials back in 2007. so yes, she was probably trying to skirt the records act. the reason they're not responding to brianna is because there's no good answer as to why she wasn't using a more secure, transparent government account. >> first of all, there's more than sufficient information out there from the clinton spokespeople about what occurred. and there's so many links out there that i hope we can get the truth out there. first of all, this law was not changed, modified until 2014 long after she had left the state department. she has complied with the spirit the letter. when it was requested she give that information last october from state department trying to preserve these records she turned it over. so this notion that somehow or another this is a gotcha -- >> how would we know if it wasn't turned over? >> just like jeb bush e-mails -- >> sure he used his discretion which i think is -- >> and m

again, we saw john podesta leave the white house according to the clinton folks to come into the campaign to be the adult in the room. what does that say about the rest of the people in the room? she's got to run the campaign. i was around bill clinton in '92 with him in february '92 in new hampshire, i was with barack obama here and in virginia in '08. i tell you who ran those campaigns. bill clinton and barack obama. who the hell's running this campaign? >> all right. the former chair of the south carolina democratic party, thank you so much. appreciate it. talk to you soon. >> thank you. >>> in other national news a dire warning from u.s. intelligence officials about american boys and girls wanting to fight alongside isis. in a new bulletin the fbi and the department of homeland security say they are tracking a number of cases of teens seemingly on the verge of trying to make the trek to syria and fight in what isis calls its holy war. more than 180 americans have already traveled or attempted to travel to syria and iraq to join various militant groups including isis. some are teens as

and as a follow-up to justin's question on keystone, your predecessor, john podesta, chose to recuse himself from advising the president because he has strong views on the project. do you have strong views on the project and how are you advising the president? >> so to first question, the federal government is the single largest consumer of energy in the economy within our federal footprint we have hundreds of thousands of buildings. that includes the department of defense and in fact the department of defense is responsible for the nonoperational portion of the department of defense responsible for half of the energy consumption. so our capacity to both directly reduce energy use and reduce greenhouse gas emissions is significant, but also as the largest consumer in a market, you have market power to help drive innovation and drive change outside of the federal footprint. so i think that the potential for this announcement is best understood in that context and in particular i think that that's what was striking about having these -- the private sector at the table today was we hear

and then john podesta. sorry, i should have had you on first e-mail. he writes back. brutal story. is somebody going to go on the record to push back? yes. and you i gave back a similar statement similar to what i e-mailed you. >> you are supposed to be independent and you are reacting with the white house on how to communicate on the pr of a "new york times" story? >> mr. chairman, i had said that we are going to reinstate the 2010 rules which the president had endorsed. the report in the "new york times" was saying he's not doing that. i was therefore responding and saying you should know that that report is not true. at the same point in time i have furnished you also e-mails to members of congress, democratic members of congress saying the same point. and that was what this was. this was, look, the 2010 rules i stand behind. and i am not out in a campaign to gut them which is what was being reported in the press. and if i may. one of the subsequent e-mails i sent as you will recall was an argument that said oh wait a minute, this was mischaracterized. and that is what that exch

john: in this campaign, podesta benenson, they have been silent. we will start hearing them.hey will become the face of the clinton campaign that she is not. mark: here is one thing. what will the roles of chelsea and bill clinton be? a huge question, and many people think those will be deferred and the late for a long time -- and late for a long time, but not unimportant. john: the question of the clinton's role was so important in 2008. you would think they figured it out, not too hot, not too cold. they figured up the goldilocks strategy. even after the towering inferno that has raged around her for the past week, hillary clinton remains the presumptive democratic standardbearer. the question is whether she will have any challengers or if her main opponent will be the press. in the former category, a lot of names bandied about, from elizabeth warren and joe biden, both of them highly unlikely to run, to lesser-known names like ernie sanders, and -- bernie sanders and martin o'malley. speaking of, here's the maryland governor talking about the challenges of hrc. governor o'

john podesta looks like he is heading back to hillary clinton so that quote means a lot. >> it sure doesrian. we are here with you more for you. heather is standing by. i missed you yesterday. >> great to have you back. hope you're feeling better. >>> big news in the washi it is a fox news alert. a suspected serial shooter in the d.c. area is now under arrest. the fbi saying they believe that he is the lone gunman behind a string of incidents taking place in maryland including a shooting we told you about yesterday at an nsa building and a shooting at a truck on a maryland interstate as well as three more attacks within the past week. two people hurt. at this time, the fbi is not releasing his identity but we will stay on the story and bring you the latest when we get it. >>> a near disaster as turkish airlines plane skids off the roadway. the plane bounced off the pavement and into a grass field. the front landing gear completely snapping. the whole thing ignite be panic to the 238 people on board that plane as they frantically tried to escape into that field. no one was seriously hurt.
