i haven't made any final decisions. >> it sounds more like a "yes" than lindsey graham. >> what lindsey said is important. lewis gutierrez should be as upset with the president as i am and anybody who is concerned about the balance of power in washington, d.c. what the president did was open up pandora box for every president in the future to say, you know, congress, if you're not going to work with me, then i'm just going to go and not enforce the law and go beyond that. not enforce the law and i'm going to actually create new law. >> so why not, then, if it's that awful and sets that terrible of a precedent and is unconstitutional, why not either impeach or shut down the government or do something that's very strong in response? >> look, i believe the republicans and i hope democrats would do something very strong in response to this. >> like what? >> well, obviously they are going to sue the president. they should sue the president on the supreme court. they should go right to it immediately because a lot of adverse things can -- >> now? courts take a long time. >> hopefully they can

with us, senator lindsey graham, one of the most outspoken critics of the administration's handling of benghazi. senator graham, thank you so u much for being here, and let me get straight to what the int intelligence committee says. >> thank you. >> it says, fit, no outright int intelligence failure, and second, no decan lay in attempts to rescue the benghazi staff, and third, the famous susan rice talking points with were inaccurate, but not deliberately misleading. senator graham, the report says that the misinformation was sflaued, yes, but not political cover-up by susan rice or anyone else. so, does this exonerate the administration? >> in my view, trey gowdy and elijah cummings are doing a good job at looking at benghazi as a whole. d.o.d. and the intel community -- >> and yes or no,r senator graham. >> no, no. i think that the report is full of crap. quite frankly. >> why? >> to say that mike -- >> why? >> well, the deputy director of the cia, when i asked him who, do you foe who changed the talking points with senator ayotte and mccain and susan rice sitting by his side, and h

why senator lindsey graham won't accept it. good morning. i'm deborah feyerick. tension in ferguson. the tension over michael brown's killing. we could learn the officer who shot and killed the teenager is indicted for murder or cleared. we get the latest from don lemon in ferguson. >> reporter: good morning, deb. the grand jury did not come to a decision on friday. it is expected they will reconvene today. they could possibly come to a decision. it has been said everyone would get a 48-hour notice as to when there would be a decision and when they announce the decision. we are hearing from evan perez, they may not give that 48-hour notice. as soon as they reach the decision, an official might come out and say what the decision is. we are talking about whether officer darren wilson is indicted in the shooting death of teenager michael brown. as far as the community here, one might think that the streets of ferguson were on fire if you look at some of the media coverage. that, indeed, is not the case. there are still protests going on. there are angry protesters.

lindsey graham loses the anger game. according to our new hampshire poll, the gop is winning the stronger games. as the nation grapples with a decision from a grand jury in ferguson, missouri, there is other political news. president obama announced chuck hagel is leaving his job as secretary of defense. he is departing less than two years after taking the job, and it is the first major post-midterm changeup for the obama and assertion. did chuck hagel have to go, and why? >> i think he did, and i think the reason why -- his ouster is the latest sign of obama bending to the whims of washington rather than coming in and changing them, as he originally hoped to do when elected resident. there is a long, venerable post-defeat washington tradition of finding a scapegoat. lately, that has often been a secretary of defense. remember after 2006, the war in iraq cost republicans control of congress. a couple days later, donald rumsfeld is out. >> i thought it was the first personal decision obama made the entire time. i thought

overall i agree with the sentiments lindsey graham expressed.thing that strikes you as you read through the report how many holes and admissions there are through the reports. where there are holes report facts. the facts are rendered in a sloppy fashion and the report is ultimately unconvincing. on the question of standdown. that's sort of the perfect example. the report concludes that there was no evidence of a standdown order given. but these are the guys who are saying that they had a standdown order given to them. that's evidence. now, it might be wrong. the evidence might be wrong. but they were saying we were told to stand down. and what the report, i think, attempts to do is dance on the head of a pin. they are try something to say well, there was no order given to proceed so then you can't, by definition, be told to stand down if you are not going against the previous order. it's a salesman particular game. bigger problem relates to the talking points. you have michael more relative the acting director of central intelligence agency who

senator lindsey graham is furious that there was no coverup in the aftermath of the benghazi attack. >> no. no. i think that -- i think the report is full of crap. >> why? >> quite frankly. >> who he says dropped the ball. >> hello. i'm fredericka whitfield. we begin with a developing story. a 12-year-old boy shot and killed after police spotted him with what turned out to be a fake gun. the police opened fire. investigators say officers got a call yesterday afternoon for a boy waving a gun in a park. we now know that that gun was not real. sarah gannon has more on what happened. >> the gun was fake. an air soft replica gun that looks like a semiautomatic pistol, cleveland police said. the orange tabitha identifies it as a bb type gun had been removed. it's not clear if the corresponding officers knew that the gun was fake when they arrived at the playground where the 911 call was made. when an officer order the boy to put his hands in the air, police say the boy instead reached for his waist band. >> there was no confrontation. the officers ordered him to stop and to show his hands,

president obama expresses a shared interest in fighting sxois senator lindsey graham joins us. this letter to iran. >> all right. this is a family program. outrageous, ill conceived. to join with iran is crazy at two levels. number one, if you wanted to help isis recruit more fighters, nothing would be better than saying, come to syria and fight great satan america and the great hair particular iran. you'll get 144 virgins. it would be the ultimate fate for any sunni streamist to fight iran and the united states at the same time. to the syrian people you're saying, we don't care about assad anymore. we're just worried about isis. and we're going to join one the iranians who prophesied up. who have given the weapons to kill you. this is nuts. >> nuts. okay. it is complicated by the fact that we have this november 24th drop dead on the nack weapons deal. that's not happening, is it the biggest fear i have beyond isis is a bad deal with iran over the program. i fear they're going to give them a bill like north korea. the republicans the control congress really does matter. i have

senator lindsey graham joined that chorus.out us and not about president obama. harold ford, where does this go from here? we've got the executive action. we're going to have a republican house and senate come january. they could pass their own law that the president could then veto. >> the president said do it. pass the bill. >> hopefully they do that. i think first of all, i think the substance of what the president said last night was spot on. there's no doubt these are steps that should have been taken. i think the timing is wrong. it probably would have been better to give the republican new congress three months to have acted on this. they chose not to, the president would have still had the opportunity to act back on executive action. don't agree with the president or ray on that, this should have been done. interest will be ramifications for there. the republicans warned kwint fra quite frontily before this happened. this issue is important. it may end up being the only issue that gets done over the next several months

earlier today on cnn's state of the union, senator lindsey graham talked about why he is disappointedn president obama, but also the republican party. >> you are a supporter of immigration reform, but you opposed the president's action last week very strongly. >> it's one thick to say i don't have the ability to prosecute or deport everybody, so i'm going to rank them in order. it's another for the president of the united states to say not only will i decide not to prosecute a group of people, but i will affirmatively give you legal status. that is well beyond executive action. >> so if it's unconstitutional, as you think, is it an impeachable offense? >> right. >> i have a solution that i've been supporting that is comprehensive, that would allow legal status to the people in question. you do it through a congressional action where you get the entire system fixed. his action does not secure the border. it doesn't. >> he said it 11 times between wednesday and thursday. you passed a bill in the senate. you handed it to the house of representatives. the house of representatives decided

here's what south carolina senator lindsey graham had to say about the report.no i think the reports full of crap >> i as you know who changed the talking points fbi change the talking points only later did we find out through a lawsuit that mike morale was deeply involved in changing the talking points when sitting in front of a congressional panel >>vicki liviackis graham went on to say the findings prove the house intelligence committee "is doing a lousy job policing their own." the attack killed ambassador christopher stevens and three other americans. the clock is ticking towards monday's deadline to reach a deal on iran's nuclear program. negotiators are in austria for the final stage of talks. six world powers are trying to get tehran to scale down its nuclear activities. speaking in vienna. u-s secretary of state john kerry says there are still big differences between the two sides. but progress is being made. there are gaps we still have serious gaps that we're working to a close the good thing is that the p five + one are united and working in concert

. >> cnn state of the union had lindsey graham on today and he called the report garbage. you covered benghazi a lot. >> i would have offered it. i don't think they would have put it on television. >> would have put it on the evening news. >> i was trying to cover all the developments just to be on the record about it. in this case i would point out to where the findings of this committee differed with witnesses to other committees. much of the findings were the same as joe said and also there were no answers really those that i think didn't get more coverage. why can't we see the white house photos. what happened to the surveillance video on benghazi. >> it was a 2-year-old investigation. it deserved more coverage on all news outlets. tweet at howame. we like to read your messages attend of the program. now ahead we'll talk to sarah lacy targeted by an uber executive that spoke of investigating her personal life when we come back. tense days in ferguson. some word from the grand jury are the media exacerbating this. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more o

as you know, lindsey graham said the same thing. my guess is rand paul's version comprehensive immigration reform might be a little different than lindsey graham's version. ultimately, immigration reform is a subject most people in our party agree that we need to tackle. we've seen happen over the last several months is president has been using people as political pawns to people when it comes to immigration reform. reformised immigration when he ran for office in 2007. do wellit as a basis to among many voters. ultimately, when he had a and aty in the house, supermajority in the senate, he didn't get anything done. up on tv and says, you know, i've been working so hard on this. these darnasn't for republicans, we would have been able to do it. deliver.dn't then he threatened executive amnesty, which is in our mind a threat, to reject the of the separation of powers doctrine, reject article 2 as far as what lies within the power of the president. then he got pushed back on executive amnesty. then he came back and said, know what? an

i'm expecting that my ranking member senator lindsey graham will be here shortly. i just saw him on the c-span screen. i know he's on the floor and not here. but i have permission from his staff to proceed. he will join us as soon as his schedule permits. i also want to recognize in the audience ed pigano. it's good to have him back in a different capacity. we are having a hearing today that is entitled, economic espionage and trade secret theft. are our laws adequate for today's threats? today the subcommittee is going to explore how we can better protect american businesses from those who try to steal their valuable intellectual property. american committees are renounced as being the most innovative in the world. companies of every size and in every industry from manufacturing to software to biotechnology to aerospace own large paortfolios of legally protected trade secrets they have developed is and innovated. in some cases, the secret sauce may be a company's most valuable asset. the theft of these secrets can lead to devastating consequences. for small busine

lindsey graham is adamant that the republicans be involved.ore sangions against iran and torpedo the deal. >> lindsey graham says there has to be an up or down vote in the congress. barbara, take us behind the scenes at the pentagon a little bit. what is the impact, do you think, of a republican majority now in the senate, as well as in the house on what the u.s. might be doing as far as iraq and syria and some of these other battles are concerned. >> look, escapes no one's attention that senator john mccain, republican of arizona, is now expected to be the new chairman of the senate armed services committee, a close ally of graham. both have been very vocal about their view more military action by the u.s. is needed. a much more aggressive military posture in the middle east, especially against syria. the question now for the pentagon is, can they really still respond to that republican pressure. of course, the u.s. military works for the president of the united states. it's going to be very interesting to see what top commanders have to say

lindsey graham said that he supported the bipartisan legislation, but even he think that the new congresshould come in and see if they can get this done. >> this patience issue is now going on seven years. the president needs to prepare for bold actions, prepare for the challenge, and we prepare to defend those bold actions. absent that, the misery we've seen with families, people in the military, family separation, the deem act, it's not enough students having access to that, those tragedies are going to continue, and it will aggravate what is already a bad social problem, a bad economic problem, and amole dilemma for this country. the president could step in. he made the commitment that he would, and now he's being asked to hold to that commitment. >> it's suggested if the president does act unilaterally, they will push for impeachment proceedings. are you ready for that? >> yes, i think this is the issue in which that crucible needs to be crossed. you know, i think that it is of such moral importance and slowly defensible. if that's the kind of issue with which they want to go after pr

but there was a report a couple weeks ago about the potential lindsey graham for 2016. >> his race was too easy. he was bored. but to the point of -- there will be sort of this jocking for a position on foreign policy matters. and senator graham from south carolina, who david mentioned had really not erased for his -- who had not really a race for his own re-election. he's certainly in this camp with mccain. rubio seems to be in that group. kelly ayotte, who is in cycle, is another person. one of the things i'm interested to watch is what the senator from new hampshire, kelly ayotte, who is up in 2016, is one of these -- and new hampshire was the one place on the senate map where there was a close, contested race that was supposed to be a close contested race and the democrat held on. scott brown is not returning to the senate. senator shaheen won re-election. so it will be interesting to see there, because she's always with mccain or often with mccain and graham on that sort of thing, and she'll be an interesting one to watch there too. >> the three amigos. >> i think mccain tweeted o

lindsey graham was on the phone for an hour with the vice president. he understands the system he gets along and loves the game and he could be an enormous advantage as he has been in this next period are because it's going to be very tough, first of all because the republicans have to get their act together inside their party and the white house is going to have to deal and i don't think there's anyone better than the vice president to do this. >> peggy noonan? last word from you. >> it's a big night. i think it's going to take a while for everybody to absorb the meaning. this changes the obama administration and ends perhaps the magical period of the obama presidency. second point: we all talk understandably and rightly about the republican party being split, splintered, having dierent wiks, et cetera. it -- wings, et cetera. it occurred to me, they held together very well for this election. the establishment may be about to do a victory dance because they helped pick such impressive candidates. they shouldn't. they should remember they are nothing w
