the obama white house is >>> welcome back to "hannity." white house is scrambling yet again from the outing of a covert cia agent in afghanistan to the va scandal. here with reaction, ann coulter. to me, the vet story is at the top and the fact there's no sense of you aurgency here, but you have the outing of a cia agent, which put him and his family at risk. you don't see the same outrage when valeri plame was outed. that angers me. what can happen next? >> well, i'm looking forward to valeri plame's statement of outrage on this incident and her useless husband. maybe she'll get so angry she'll force him to get a job. democrats never care about foreign policy. what they want to do is socialize everything, like health care. you see with the va scandal why republicans don't want the government running everything. anything run by the government. it can be these veterans hospitals, the irs, the national science foundation. it will be useless, inefficient. the people who are supposed to be doing their jobs will be sitting and watching pornograp

want to walk to joe abrahams abraham says the white house is the most secretive white house that's tha she's ever been involved in covering. that's the obama white house. well, she's right. by the way, i agree with the board on this. other important issues, like jobs, since the rest of us can multitask, congress and the president can, too. get to work. that's my "off the record" tonight. so, byron, you know what i think. >> i think jill abrahamson is right in this case. if you look at the reaction that the white house had to the release of the ben rhodes e-mail, the white house said we didn't release it because it wasn't about benghazi because it didn't pass the lab test. >> let me say one thing. it was released as part of a court order and the court order was because there was a request for benghazi information. >> exactly. freedom of information act request. and you should talk to the state department about why it wasn't released. basically, the state department and white house is pointing the finger at each other saying no one had any real responsibility to do this. that does not build confidence and that's the one single reason that ti

white house. not just this white house. it was the reason i criticized the white house counsel for not telling barack obama about the irs scandal until after it broke. here you have an e-mail that is general about the widespread reaction to the protests relating to the video. it was put out in the context of trying to brief someone for a talk show on the sunday morning talk shows. of course it related to benghazi, but it wasn't about when benghazi was about the broad reaction to the video. why hold that back? i would make the argument even if it is not about benghazi and you are legalistically say we don't need to produce it. for goodness sake, it looks like you are holding it back. it is a good document. put it out. >> three quick things. yes or no, should the democrats participate in the committee on benghazi? >> absolutely yes. does it ever make sense to let the other guy have a one-sided argument while you have the facts? makes no sense. i would be in their face challenging them every time. who wrote the phrase spontaneous demonstration? the white house covering up or the cia and mike moore saying we wrote that because we t

nobody did, other than the obama white house. joining us tonight is former clinton adviser, host of his own radio show, dick morris is with us. what do you say when you have one lie after another when they were told within 24 hours they knew it was an attack and they were told who it was from? >> a coverup, an effort to avoid political harm. this question is whose coverup. my wife eileen uncovered evidence the other day that we put in the column yesterday that this was something that may well have originated with hillary. because a day and a half before rhodes, the white house aid sent that smoking gun e-mail you just talked about, hillary made a statement and embedded in that statement was the exact same language that rhodes used word for word. >> i have it right here. she made this the day before rhodes released -- >> 36 hours before. >> let me state clearly the u.s. had absolutely nobody nothing to do with this video. rhodes said the u.s. had nothing to do with it. we reject its message and content. hillary, we reject the vide

white house spin under the heading of analysis. and or wonkery. that is bloggers when the important part about the story of how the white house relied on a blogger, especially during the obama care debate. >> which is why the -- you know, viewers have to be aggressive and go to many different outlets and compare and contrast, put our feet to the fire, we get it wrong and hammer us on it because it is poisonous what goes on behind the scenes. let me ask you about something else. secretary robert rice saying, what numb skull in the white house arranged this, he's talking about president obama choosing a walmart as a backdrop for today's speech. president obama talking about walmart being accused of -- john, when he says what numb skull, i say very sarcastically, probably the same numb skull that did the talking points on benghazi. robert rice says, what numb skull used walmart. why is he saying that? >> he's a real true blue progressive because they don't pay high enough wages and the white house is willing to work with walmart and they are willing to scratch the back of, you know, progressives. they are a big funder of this organization called the center of american progress

tonight the obama white house has been busted. there is now undenial -- undeniable evidence they, from the president on down, lied to you, the american people, about the lethal attacks in benghazi that killed four innocent americans and engaged in a coverup after the lie. that's how we begin the news night which is why tonight, i'll call out the man who will do and say anything in an effort to advance the political agenda. >> when i go stand up at the podium in front of the white house press core, i never lie. i never say something i know is not true. >> oh, really? it's him. white house press secretary jay carney is nothing but a complete and utter laughing stock and it continued today after administration will admit this is a premeditated attack in ben -- benghazi. >> you can ask the intelligence committee of the current assessment of what happened. what we know is there was an attack, that there were extremists involved and four americans were killed. we have been saying that from the beginning, again, if you look at the langua

roberts can bring to the interview. >> robin roberts coincidentally or not was hand-picked by the obama white house for the interview in which barack obama decided he was in favor of gay marriage. so they're clearly expecting, what would you say, a sympathetic reception? >> i don't know if it's sympathetic as much as a lighter touch in some areas. >> by two women. >> by two women. i think diane is becoming the next barbara walters, the person that you come to, as she's exited the stage, the person you come to sit down with and have that sort of intimate, very intimate -- >> i think you call it relentless empathy. >> soft questions can often elicit interesting answers. in fact, often with politicians they're so prepared for the hard question that the soft question can surprise them and catch them. but you have to deal with the appropriate topic areas. and if you ignore these, you'll never find out anything. >> and i don't think she does. >> since you ignored my opening question we'll try craig on this. we debate the state of her brain, we debate her becoming a grandmother, every joke, full-time beat

the fact that we're talking about hillary clinton is a problem for president obama's white house right now. he can't break through on any of the conversation that he believes is probably crucial to moving his agenda. what does that say about his presidency right now? >> i think it says more about the republican party that this is -- >> no, this -- mo, let me for a second. democrats from elizabeth warren to tim kaine are more excited about talking about hillary clinton than they are president obama. it's a problem for your party. >> i don't think that's true at all. i think the president's out there every day talking about an economic agenda to help grow the middle class and move our country forward. d democrats are there standing arm in arm with him in the congress trying to pass the agenda. time after time when the bills come forward, the republicans block them, immigration reform or raising the minimum wage, republicans not honest brokers in this dialogue. they're focused on -- >> i really do believe your party as well as the public has begun to tune the president out. >> why is it,

as even a liberal "washington post" columnist opined earlier this week -- quote -- "the obama white house can blame its own secrecy and obsessive control over information" for the heightened scrutiny of its questionable activities. oversight investigations are a critical tool that congress must use effectively to remote government accountability. the obama administration's escalating strategy of stonewalling even to the point of ignoring legal obligations and long-standing norms now threatens our rightful role in calling the executive branch to account. indeed, madam president, the basic assumption that undermines and underlies the constitution's plan of government, as james madison explained in federalist 47 and 51, is that -- quote -- "the accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive and judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few or many, and whether hereditary, self-appointed or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny. but the great security against a gradual concentration of the several powers in the same department consists in giving to those

this comes in the months and weeks following the pr blitz by the obama white house and 8 million peopleolled in a obama care is a huge success. i think they thought that would sway opinions. people are looking for the reality of the law and everyone knows someone who lost their plan and a premium goes up a thousand dollars. and the obama care in that poll is why they are doing so bad. >> that is a question. whether or not it is the policy that voters are voting on or a personality. >> it is personalitty issue. and interesting by chris stirewal. and this is what cries said. starting tuesday in north carolina, republicans will pick the senate nominees for democrat- held seats, and a process that the party botched in 2010, and even as it gained the largest house majority. and democrats best hope to limiting them depends on bidder protracted and expensive primary fights. so let's revisit that policy or personality, ed? what is driving the vote here? >> it is it a lot of potential candidates out there. >> and never the short thing after the ballots were counted. we put up a story about what

his thoughts on what this episode may tell us about the obama white house. >> this in political terms is damaging to the administration, it feeds into the question of whether the administration can in fact administer. we had first the fiasco with the rollout of the health care program. now we've got the troubles at the v.a. now this blund are by the white house press office. think about this, this is an administration that is fond of telling us that he finds out about these things in the press. in this case, this was something that his press office put out and the mistake wasn't noted until somebody in the press told him about it. they found about this from the press all right after they put it out. that's a high level of bunning link it's fair to say. it's certainly fair to say that given the size of the government s that every administration is going to have some trouble in some agency somewhere. i think george w. bush and his problems with fema and hurricane katrina. that was epic at the time. and this administration, i think, it's getting to a certain critical mass, people are goi

"the new york times" is saying that's absolutely not true. i'm focused on the coverage here. the media coverage is atrocious. they all jumped on and believed canaletta's story which is a convenient die attribute that this was a pay issue. >> i'm told that this sulzberger had had it not pause of the pay issue, but because of this incident i described involving her deputy. also in terms of her coverage, this is an insta fram photo that ji

denies miss abrahamson was not paid fairly -- so, the two leading gender equality promoters, the obama white house "new york times" both are now involved in pay controversies concerning women. to be fair, we don't know the truth of these situations. but that's the point. you can't make blanket pay comparisons unless you know all the factors of a person's employment. and that's impossible on a mass level. now, i think this is karma. i think the phony war on women, the attempt to divide americans along gender and race lines is appalling. now we are seeing those who promote that embarrassed. talking points will say once again, you will never never have equality in a free marketplace. it's impossible. talents vary, experience vary, circumstances are all different. intelligent americans know when they hear the word equality, it's being used to push a social agenda. in this case liberal america wants women to believe they are not being treated fairly. so they will vote for the democratic party. same thing with income inequality. the left wants american workers to believe that not getting their fair shar

we know that the obama white house does not pay women the same as men. not saying it does not happen, i do think that women hit a glass ceiling they go out and start businesses, so guess what women create,ed own more businesses in fortune 500. you will have -- >> that transcends whole gender thing. you are a small the business owner it is about providing opportunity to benefit men and women. >> we don't need government getting in the way of women creating jobs, i am a coowner of a small, last thing we need is government to regulate us more. neil: among your workers, men women paid equally? >> absolutely it is paided on the job, we do not have any women operating a press right now, but when i was working we did she was fabulous, and got paid based on merit not a government intervention to how we should pay people. i think women deserve to be based on merit not a government regulation. neil: how did this get mixed up in the debate. >> if you look at actual metrics, obamacare, that republicans rail against, but one as second that popular that democrats have

. >>> welcome back to "hannity" as another scandal erupts inside the obama white house, the presidentroke his silence regarding allegations facing the va. joining me with reaction the host of "war stories" peter johnson junior is with us. colonial, you heard these people, i've been interviewing those who have lost loved ones, their stories of a horrifying, america has broken faith with those who have done so much for us. >> no doubt about it, sean. >> the president was critical today. he almost -- >> it was like a civics lesson in detachment and disengagement. what fast and furious, the irs enemiesy list, benghazi -- >> on tv. >> he's furious that it happened. as i remember the quote last weekend, madder than hell. the fact is, if he was madder than hell he's gotten over it. he held no one acountable and wants to get to the bottom of it. this is an administration that has a record of coverups. i'll leave it to peter, the legal expert on that but for me as a veteran, for someone whose been contacted at least by 150 people since we first addressed this over a month ago, on this show and

white house is what the analysts are saying. considering who is in the white house today. but michelle obamaaying she and the president were heartbroken at the abduction of the 223 school girls from their dormitory. and she explained how it truly hit home to her and her husband. >> i want you to know that barack has directed our government to do everything possible to support the nigerian government's efforts to find these girls and bring them home. in these girls, barack and i see our own daughters. we see their hopes and their dreams, and we can only imagine the anguish their parents are feeling right now. >> reporter: so the united states has sent an advise and assist military cell to nigeria to assess the situation. the brits have also sent their experts over, as well, and possibly the french might be piling in, as well, international effort, really, to get these girls free. there have been calls from congress in the past couple of days to take out the leadership of boko haram, to actually get tactically involved in the situation there, but that could get complicated for the united state

and what's the obama white house's next move to prop up the collapsed middle east peace talks? my one-on-one with the israeli defense minister. >> once you impose the wishful thinking about -- >> and speaking of foreign policy, juan williams in the house, joining us to weigh in on the president's foreign policy vision and what a tough week it's been for the president in the public eye. hello, everybody. live from the nation's capitol starts right now. with news that eric shinseki is now out the door, the fallout continues at 42 veterans facilities across the country, tied to a scandal in which employees conspired to hide months long waiting times for those vets who needed care. the resignation coming on the heels of that explosive government reports, confirming claims the average wait time is up to 24 days with some 1700 patients waiting up to four months just to see a doctor in phoenix. congressional lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are pushing hard for change, but repairing a broken health care system meiered in years of ent will no easy fix. jo joining us now, jeff dunha

morning joe" or political capital will recognize her and her analysis of the inner workings of the obama white house. she has just returned from ukraine where she was with vice president biden's entourage. she was with jeff goldberg who talked to us about his trip. to ukraine this morning perhaps we can ask her about that as well. please join me in welcoming laura meckler and and julianna goldberg. [applause] i'm going to dive right in with a couple of my own questions. please think of your own. i have colleagues who will be giving you cards. if you have a card, hold them up. we want to take as many questions as possible. 50 years after the passage of the civil rights act, it is hard to imagine congress reaching consensus on something as profound as that was. the functioning political process, a functioning democratic process, and the give and take that is an essential part of a pluralistic society seems to have totally evaporated. the public has had enough. andratings of congress washington in general are at record lows. i guess the short version of my question is, what is wrong with our political

we learned some other news, besides the fact he was in the obama white house and he was kind of belittling the fact that four americans died, we also learned that president obama was not in the situation room during the benghazi attacks. now we know two americans died early, two more americans died seven hours later. should the president have been in that situation room or, frankly, could have made other calls, maybe he could have saved two lives. >> right, and really the next question that comes to mind is, who was in charge? if the president wasn't there during this period of time, who really was in charge? was hillary clinton in charge? and if hillary clinton was in charge, was she the one that gave the order to stand down, the order not to go and send re-enforcements? to me, one of the most important mistakes that was made that evening is there were four more special operations guys with colonel gibson trying to get on a plane, actually an american plane that the libyans owned, and they were told to stand down, or as the order became known later on, not to go. which i think are the sam
