occupation of iraq that a number of american leaders like then secretary of state gates or admiral mullen who's the chairman of the joint chiefs and others said openly that american bias in favor of israel what is perceived universally throughout the world not just the middle east as american unwillingness to do what's necessary to help resolve this conflict seriously harms the united states and its image and it actually causes hostility to the united states and to the american military presence in the region so you have actually had american leaders saying this openly that kind of talk has died down and these people were slammed in washington for saying such things but anyone who's been anywhere in the world and knows how how much dissonance there is between the american position on this issue and the position of literally almost every other country on the face of the globe knows that this is true and i want to switch the focus a little bit i want to talk about you know without palestine being unified obviously this this makes things even more difficult i'm wondering if you cannot make c

we had add militarily mullen and pickering make extensive reviews of this whole case. >> the highest't follow up with leon panetta to see how the shooting turned out. he says i don't have any knowledge. nobody had any knowledge that the consulate was secured and nobody knew they needed help. >> greg: big lesson here is whistle-blowers only matter if they are blowing a whistle on tobacco company or republican leader. >> correct knee if i'm wrong -- >> look, you guys wanted to go back and find out who shot j.r. -- this is a waste of time. >> greg: don't let a crisis go to waste. >> andrea: one more question. the president did tell ed henry he would get back to him lousmt do you think they will handle this? >> dana: i would say, hey, we don't have anything for you. >> andrea: new information on the boston bombing investigation how much taxpayer today's supported the lives of the suspected terrorists. also, did president obama inadvertently suggest that he supported proils profiling of muslims during today's press conference. we'll show you what he said and you can decide. stay with us.

that's one of the findings bams dorr hick coreings and mullens made these requests don't ordinarily come to the secretary of state. >> the report claims the white house and state department altered talking points which had been prepared by the intelligence community. >> i think the important point here is what we know through unclassified sources tells us our people were denied security in advance, they were denied a rescue mission for 7 and a half hours, and they denied the true cause of this attack. >> in response to the report national security council spokeswoman katelyn hayden says the report changes questions asked and answered and the body called response to the attack they called it timely and appropriate. patti ann, back to you. >> elizabeth pran, thank you. >>> three weather alerts. the midwest is bracing for more flooding. water levels are continue to go rise. here is maria molina with today's forecast. >> good morning heather and patti ann. we are talking about rising water levels in states like indiana and illinois even areas further south. what happened out here last week w

the former chairman of the joint chief of staff and admiral mullen made a statement in 2011 that people on both sides of the aisle and across america have quoted many times since then. and i'd like to repeat it because it's something that i think needs to be repeated often. he said, quote, i said many times that i believe this single biggest threat to our national security is our debt. so i also belie we have every responsibility to help eliminate that threat, close quote. do you agree with that statement today when the national debt is significantly larger thanin agree. >> i've always pointed occupy. i can't tell you how many times that quote has been read to me. thank you for reminding me again. look, economics are fiscal situation, the deficit, the budget, are all threats to the security. there's a lot of physical seen and unseen threats out there that perhaps are different even from when admiral mullen made that comment. i align myself with the economic piece of it. there are just groups out there that threaten us. ? 0. >> thank you. it is important for us, i think to remember the p

this is a mug shot of john patrick mullen. the paper says that the 44-year-old is in marin county jail accused of embezzling money from a clothing company. novato police say he was fired last year obligate to then discover the allege the embezzlement. he worked for the company for more than 10 years. he stole the money over a four-year period. >> when it comes to the new all electronic toll system on the golden gate bridge the honor system in car pool lane is not working very well. toll takers left the post last week. it was their job do monitor the car pool lane and make sure three people were in the car and qualified for the toll. now it is up to drivers to do it. cameras only record the vehicle license plates not the number of passengers, and the marin independent journal reports that the c.h.p. are discussing an enforcement plan. >> speculation surroundses olympian oscar pistorius with new details on whether the accused murders plans on racing again. >> crash collectors are on strike with a dispute thousands of miles away

they think, oh, the mullen neals, the use generation, there will always be liberal in every single issue. it won't grow up and get a job and been a first paycheck and have kids. that is not actually the case with abortion. there was a poll done last year by the gallup organization that should that -- showed that this generation is more pro-life and our parents' generation. i was reading a study not too long ago by two professors at georgetown university that was really interesting. pro-abortion, so in favor of legalized abortion, and there were talking about this mysterious case of a disappearing pro-choice generation because they showed that the attitudes of this generation towd abortion in the attitudes of the generation coming up behind us, those in high school and middle school are the most pro-life you'd generations ever. and it will trend throughout their whole life pro-life and don't know where they will find the pro-choice side of the equation. you see, when she was here in washington, the supreme court legalized abortion, they got it wrong. you know, they paid abortion as a woma

here is former joint chiefs chair admiral mike mullen on this back in december. watch. >> there simply was not enough time for u.s. military forces to have made a difference. having said that, it is not reasonable nor feasible to at the time they are u.s. forces at the ready to respond to protect every high-risk post in the world. martha: but now sources telling fox news that was not the case. a special operator with specific knowledge of the attack that night tells fox news that a response team could have swooped into benghazi within hours according to their knowledge of the events. and that would have possibly saved lives. remember the two former seals were killed in the final hour of that battle. so there are big questions ahead of the president's news conference this morning. adam housley joins me live on this in los angeles. good morning, adam. >> reporter: good morning, martha. we talked to a number of people over the course of the last four months or five months as this goes forward and all said the same thing. no one would go on camera. fours sources i pe

mullen neal's one no part of stocks. only view of the market has been to the prism of their young lives who can blame them. trying to change them. it is a tough sell, isn't it? >> it absolutely is. young people have already made a huge investments in their future , and that was through college. so there are graduating with an average student loan debt of $30,000 or above. our only chance of getting a job after college. six in telling americans only have jobs nowadays, and half of which have full-time jobs. so the money that we are scraping by to get by with, we are using the trepang of our college debt, paying rent, paying for food. neil: and a stand that, but you only have money left over there not inclined to like stocks. they find it is a great game or that these multi year averages, most of the brainy as i talked to said that the trend favors and investors of the stick with it over time. they're not convinced endo 110. how you get the men are should you get the man? >> i don't even know we should because right now we

and admiral mike mullen, the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, essentially all lined up in support of the troop surge, and they became the principle advocates for the surge. generally in our system the military provides the best advice to civilian leadership, then step back and let the civilians hash it out. in this case, however, bob gates, then the secretary of defense, a consummate washington player, decided he would hang back and let the military do the lobbying for the surge, and that pushed civil military relations into a sort of new place in our republic. putting the uniformed military in a very different position than it's been in, and there's some who argue the president felt boxed in by this. that he didn't necessarily feel like sending that many more troops was the optimal decision, yet he had all his generals lined up saying this is the only option that will work, and gave him very little maneuver room, which is why i believe when you saw the -- when president announced the surge, giving mcchrystal much of what he wanted but not all, he put a deadline on it, saying the

then secretary of defense secretary gates the then chairman of the joint chiefs of staff admiral mullen and general petraeus when he was commander in iraq all of whom said america's bias on this issue america's fear uter resolve this harms it in the arab world but you don't hear that forcefully argued in washington what you do hear forcefully argued is people who say no no you mustn't push beyond certain israeli red lines and these people have tended to prevail in the past here it's essential saying that the u.s. right now is acting as so-called lawyer for for israel they're not as as mediators or brokers between israel and and palestine in the book i talk about numerous cases where this is exactly what happened and i end up using the term that was in fact not even i didn't even coined the term israel's lawyer it was an american diplomat who's been engaged for decades in this aaron david miller and he himself was quoting sector state kissinger so i think it's an apt term in fact united states has not been an honest broker when i was an advisor to the palestinian negotiators from ninety

admiral mullen as two years ago when he said the greatest friend to our nation isn't any foreign threat. it is and al qaeda or the chinese russians. it is the debt. when the head of the joint chiefs of staff recognizes the greatest threat to our freedom is the death, he wasn't speaking in military terms. we can no longer be in denial. there are people who are in denial but you can't be in denial and the proof will be when the debt bomb goes off. i'm not saying the earth is ending we have problems ahead of us that if we act now can make it much better for those who depend on us in the country than ignoring and reacting rather than being proactive. >> host: our first call from oklahoma. hi, marilyn. >> caller: they triage not plan on calling in until i heard you say that the military should be paying for their medicare. i will tell you in 1980 i know for sure if someone who was recruited by the military was told his medical care would be taken care of if he came in that the rest of his life, and i know what i heard that in many cases. the at that time knew that it wouldn't happen anyway.

staff injanuary of 2800 general mullen who served with great distinctiofor the past five years. t urning to f headquarters next week and we all wish him well and much success. scott you are a credit to the atf and the department and we thank you very much for your service. >> thank you mr. chairman. first and foremost let me welcome you to the committee. i know there are many things that immediately focus your interest and concerns including an incident in boston and i know that the entire justice department and the fbi and atf in your offices and others are focused on this matter. i know that time is limited. i would respond to each of the criticisms that have been offered by my great friend and chairman and we are truly good friends and we work well together but needless to say it's not surprising the majority party from the president's party might take issue with some of the activities of the cabinet member and it's been part of the pattern, you can't obviously represent the administration's point of view and represent the house point of view because it is to drastically too

energies, but they are eted, -- related, and so as secretary gates and as general petraeus, as admiral mullen, as has said, this affects the way the united states has seen, ten it's seen as important. i, with all do respect, i disagree with tom friedman as i have for decades. two more. >> two more? >> okay. it's almost 1:30. >> [inaudible] >> sir, my question is, well, first of all, just let me say i fully been involved in teaching most of the career, and i agree wholeheartedly with your view that we are at a one-state solution that the president signed. question is have -- well, go back to nvember when there was the threat by the israelis on gaza, hillary clinton left southeast asia, went to egypt, came to a very quick agreement about something. >> i remember, yeah. >> my question is, did that agreement involve egypt taking responsibility for the gaza strip? >> okay. good question. >> good to see you. >> pleasure. >> as you know, i'm a believer of what you said, and forgive me what i'll say, but i'm a from thed middle east peace activist. for those who know me, i've been involved for 23 year

john is working with admiral mullen, general mcchrystal, and others. these military leaders are developing what is an alternative to military service, which is civilian service to the country. it's what's being discussed here. good people have been to the meetings. i think there are affiliated with the aspen institute. there will be a proposal that comes from that and it will be a call to serve. country, theys are ready to stand up. >> let me turn to our twitter results. the question was, would you consider running for political office in the future? our audience i think is perhaps more public spirited and other polls. 58% saying yes, that's a good thing, and 42% say no. we will also turn to the audience for questions. to questions that are similar, we will put them together. one is from tony in southern california. what can educators do to help the next generation of public servants get beyond gridlock? another question from sean from california. to serveillingness related to polarization? i want to put those questions together and think about some of

mullen. you may begin. >> thank you.i do like the opportunity to speak to everyone and say thank you. it's a frustrating thing as a usiness owner. we run about 80-plus trucks on he road, my company. the frustration and the lack of common sense to comes out of this place all the time is literally what drove me here -- the frustration of lack of common sense that comes out of this place all the time is literally what drove me here. we are still little bit wet to -- behind the ears. we were welcomed by the chairman to join the panel and to see we're bringing in industry leaders and listening, i hope we will take your advice. politicians thinking we will fix the infrastructure is a oke. we had to take the suggestions of those there sitting in front of us. thank you for taking your time. it is not a waste of your time to sit in front of us. i believe this panel of the 11th have interest. most of us all agree that we have got to do something with our infrastructure. it is the backbone of our country. it is a way to get around.

commander general john allen also army vice chief of staff general john campbell and retired admiral mike mullene former joint chiefs of staff. among others. >> bill: i will be there. that's not the table i'm sitting at. i wouldn't mind sitting at that table. >>> as you're drinking your coffee or tea this morning there is a good chance you went out of your way to get it instead of going for what was convenient. a new harris poll on morning beverage habits finds 60% of people will go out of their way to drink coffee or tea they think tastes better and they'll also spend more money for it. 78% say taste is the most important factor in choosing what they drink. >> bill: what do they mean going out of their way to get it? >> instead of stopping by the 7-eleven actually out of your way or whatever coffee shop. and actually make your commute longer or your morning longer. >> bill: i can see that if you've tried different coffees and you know which one you prefer, why would you drink the junk? go for the good stuff. it proves americans are smart. i love this story where we start this morning with all o

had a really helpful forum back on march 5th where we had some other family members including pat mullen who is from my district whose son matthew took his life but was being treated for mental illness. they actually thought they were making progress. ave were trying to get information from the doctor from the treatment centers, and they were not able to get that information, and hipaa was being thrown up as the reason that they couldn't get access. it turned out after the fact that unfortunately after he took his life that in his final he had actually authorized his parents to have access to information and so it was just an incredibly frustrating and anchoring for us during this at the forum that we had, but especially to them as parents who were trying to get the right kind of help for their kids and for their son and just couldn't get that access. and so when we hear these stories coming and i know you talked about it, but people hiding when it turns out that they really may not be the impediment how we get some clarity in hipaa to remove this gray area if it is in fact even gray sto

you know, it was -- admiral mullens, two years ago, when he said the greatest threat to our nation suspectt's not al-qaeda, it's not the chinese, it's not the russians. it's our debt. when the head of our joint chiefs of staff recognizes that the greatest threat to our freedom is our debt, he didn't speak in military term, and i think we -- we can no longer be in denial. there's going to be people out there who are in denial. you can't be in denial, and the ultimate proof will be when the debt bomb goes off, and so, john, i'm not saying the earth is ending, but i'm saying we have problems ahead of us that if we act now makes it better for those who depend on us in the country than if we ignore it. >> host: first call from oklahoma, hi, maryland. >> caller: hi. i have not planned op calling in until i heard you saided military should pay for their medical. i will tell you, in 1980 was told his medical care would be cared for the rest of his life, and i know when i was a child i remember hearing that. we never talk about it because we didn't -- by that time we knew that it wouldn't happen an

admiral mike mullen and tom pickerring led it. what's the problem?ut, we did a hearing and some of this was discovered. a lot of the input into this page goes all the way back to the early discovery. none of it's been disputed. i bless the democrats hearts, they like their report, but they can't find a factual error to ours. as we go into more documents, ones we now want to have given to us, not just look at, we're going to find more of these kinds of mistakes that need to be corrected. >> brian: we're going to follow this. there is people trying to get on planes and are two, three hours late and are told, sequestration is the reason. what's the truth as you see it? >> the truth was straightforward. there were more air traffic controllers after sequestration than there were a number of years ago when there were more flights. the truth is they built up inefficient city and we've asked them to make small cuts, they've done these furloughs and then basically said, here is the excuse for slow downs. ray lahood, good friend, good guy, bottom line is, 47,0

commission was going to be here, but had family issues he must be with, but john is working with admiral mullenal mcchrystal, others, military leaders developing what is app alternative to military service which is civilian service to the country. it's what's discussed here. >> great idea. >> good people. i've been to the meetings. i think they are affiliated with the aspen institute. there will be a proposal coming from that, and it will be a call, a call to serve. and the youth of this country are raised to stand up. >> turning to twitter results. i have a poll question put up for our online viewers, and that question, if you remember was, would you consider running for political office in the future? our audience is, i think, perhaps more public spirited than other polls i've seen, 58% say yes, that's a good thing, and 42% saying no. a couple questions from twitter, turning to the add yep as well for questions. two questions i have, which are similar, put them together, one is from tony, which what is educators do to help the next generation of public service to get beyond gridlock? another

admiral mullen, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff visited in december 2010 and a public statement basically saying, it's their place. they can do with it as they see fit. and then privately there's also been not necessarily a release at least a change in perception. so even under myung-bak demonstration, they have said that they would respond sort of on a three to one ratio. if one artillery battery attack, they would take out three. and then what we have seen in the park geun-hye administration is that a spokesperson for the joint chiefs of staff publicly said they would not only limit them, they would not limit themselves to the point of origin of the attack. they would also take out supply elements and command element. there was some confusion as to what that meant, but the military official sort of anonymously or privately said that what they were talking about was not on when and not supreme headquarters of pyongyang but also not something like an artillery battalion command. they meant something like headquarters which would be an escalation clear that as a target that is a
