ambassador susan rice on stage. now, north korea. >> and to do what it would take to insure north korea's security. insure its potential economic development and that's uphold its international obligations and come into compliance with u.n. sanctions. now obviously thus far he seems to be pushing the enervelope. but for the united states' point of view, our interest is reminding him and those around him of the benefits of an alternative peaceful course, insuring that from our point of view, the united states and our allies are fully capable of defending ourselves, should there be a need to do so. and not, getting too jumpy when he wakes up in the morning and issues yet another provocative statement. >> but here you have a forward-deployed army, only miles from our south korean and american forces. and you've got him talking about using tactical nukes. when does rhetoric edge into an area where because we have so little intelligence on his intentions, we have a real military threat on our hands? >> well under the mos

of the things that adds outrage to me is when they were on the early benghazi attacks, secretary susan rice president, they were praising hillary clinton. now all of a sudden it's hillary clinton that was part of this. it was totally an insult to the intelligence. american people. >> i agree with him. >> another thing to be outraged, the report that did come out that was a report from admire mullen, that congress is at fault because they are not properly funding embassy security. with he know who runs half of congress and who runs the other. if they could get their act together, we might get somewhere. if there were democrats on it, i'd read it more seriously. >> it's not only a partisan attack, it's a, we are afraid 2016 that we may have to face hillary. i think when they get up at night to get a glass of water, they see hillary. i think when they are riding their car, they see hillary. they are scared of what may happen in 2016. congre congresswoman maloney and patricia murphy, thank you. >>> ahead, a convicted murder made from behind bars. why this tape raises questions about the extreme

secretary hagel looks like this year's version of susan rice. they shove talking points in front of an administration official who unfortunately goes out and repeats them and they have to back away from them. this is showing trouble conducting serious national security matters and i think the president will have a lot to explain here. bill: second matter here, "wall street journal" fr you yesterday, the title of your piece. obama put america in a red line box on syria. explain. >> well, i think by laying down a red line and then not adhering to it, the president undercuts his own credibility. unfortunately in the case of syria, the red line he laid undo was the wrong red line. although people say, well we've got to do something because the red line's been crossed, i don't agree with that. i think you don't compound one error by engaging in another error. and the fact is the most e iranian nuclear weaponsre, program, i think both in israel and iran, they look at the president's statements. they conclude he is not serious when he says all options

ambassador to the u.n., susan rice, has condemned this. in the past, they have said good things about the human rights council, which has been certainly among its critics kind of a joke that isn't funny, because you have so many violators of human rights on this council. >> he's trying to back pedal a little bit and saying, in part, my only effort was to suggest that in addition to bringing the perpetrators to justice, this could be an occasion for collective self-scrutiny as a nation and as a people. >> in his explanation, he said he wasn't trying to connect any bots, but he was trying to connect the dots and the dots were that the world has been enraged by american conduct in the war on terror, in the war in afghanistan, the war in iraq, the bush administration in general and this is what happened. he called, he is a american, remember, he called the united states a menace to the world and to itself in the original post. so he's backing off a little bit if you read his correction or explanation. >> a little late, though. >> because he go

susan rice wrote an op ed saying sect remember clinton had a rough week which is an interesting way to it for somebody that is thinking of running for president. this seems to me to be related, however, to the tragedy that we just saw in boston because what the changing of the talking points reflected as well as the president's own statements i the weeks after the attacks in benghazi was an unwillingness to admit that this was a terrorist attack. remember, the narrative was it was a de demonstration that got out of control over the famous video. much in the same way what happened at boston was some people who had been self-radicalized, no international connection. both approaches in the early days before the facts overcame them was there is no international terrorist threat, the war on terror is over. and that is a problem. >> greta: well, the reason that you change the talking points are one of two reasons. either there is an intelligence national security reason or you are covering up something. those are the two options. >> well, or ideology. they are so blind to the world that you

. >> but they're sort of the legal framework which the administration, susan rice, worked through in terms of the libya operation. but then there's also the question of whether any of this stuff that david listed -- >> let's go to the american situation. as i mentioned, john mccain often the hawk in these discussions. last night on fox, he went further. let's watch senator mccain. >> it's a shameful chapter in american history, and i hope that this new revelation of chemical weapons will move the president to do what he should have done two years ago. from the statement that's coming out of the white house, i'm not sure they will. >> there he is, shameful. what do you expect if the assad government falls in the next several months? or within the year? say. who wins? i was told today that we and our allies are prepared to spend $1 billion on this program going forward. and the idea is to train up, you know, hundreds of people every month and flow them into syria so you begin to have some framework. >> are they our people? >> these are people we're working with. >> vetted. >> we're wor

ambassador to the u.n., susan rice, on five sunday talk shows. >> we do not have information at presenthat leads us to conclude that this was premeditated or preplanned. >> reporter: house democrats complained they were cut out of this investigation. we were not able to view the state department emails to confirm that the quotes were accurate or that they were taken out of context. the white house did not issue a flat-out denial, scott, but they did tell cbs news that the report, quote, appears to raise questions that have already been asked and answered in great detail. >> pelley: nancy cordes at the capital. nancy, thank you very much. the airlines today are pleading with the government to end the flight delays. will the levees hold? we're in the flood zone. and this doctor makes her rounds on the streets of boston. when the cbs evening news continues. continues. with free package pickup from the united states postal service a small jam maker can ship like a big business. just go online to pay, print and have your packages picked up for free. we'll do the rest. ♪ mr. wiggles and curli

and susan rice's name is now floated as potential national security adviser. a lot of people are thinking her as the lazarus of the political world coming back from the grave. the president is making way in these inroads. >> michael: it reminds me of richard nixon when he was criticized by the same thing. he said well, my first lady is a woman. great. >> great. >> michael: right, exactly. in your blog you wrote about how the g.o.p. responded to what congressman don young said last week. >> my father had a ranch. we hired 50 to 60 wetbacks to pick tomatoes. it takes two people to pick tomatoes now. >> michael: it's shocking every time i hear it. why was the g.o.p. response ♪ noteworthy. >> because it would not have happened five years ago. can you imagine them throwing him under the bus just five hours after this happened five years ago? when rick perry uncovered that rock with the "n" word that i'm not going to say. it wasn't his rock, but there was this attitude. but i say bravo. it's a testament to the changing face of america. and if they don't get on board

susan rice going on television september 16th. the famous tour of the sunday shows. she secretary clinton was aware notify reports that stated anything to the contrary to what ambassador rice said which this was spontaneous protest that got under hand in essence. in fact, this report itself shows as fox news wases first to report that at 6:08 p.m., on the night of those attacks in benghazi, september 11 of 2012. the state department itself circulated to 300 national security principles sort of the equivalent of a telegram, a bulletin, what's called an ops alert from the state department operations center telling everybody again 6:08. terrorist group claiming credit for those attacks. it strains credibility to imagine that that report was withheld from the secretary of state on the night of the attack. >> bill: okay. yet she testified under oath she was aware notify reports to the contrary prior to september 16th. >> bill: you know, i agree with you, it's strange crajulity that mrs. clinton would not see a vital op. like that that goes out the night our ambassador is

he's proud of bringing down susan rice, when he hasn't raised a single legitimate question about it. now he's turning this into the same kind of spectacle. i don't like comparisons between this and 9/11 because the scope was very different, but it is unimaginable that in a week after 9/11, that democrats would be calling for house and senate hearings on what the bush administration might have known or might have gotten wrong. to use a time like this to score naked political points, i'd say it was surprising except it's what we've seen in their dealings with this president. >> i think it's got to be pointed out and it's got to be questioned, because clearly it pollutes the atmosphere. and then you go from that into just outright an eruption on the right of islamaphobia and the anti-muslim, anti-immigrant rhetoric on monday. listen to some of the right wing as they went into this. >> if people are coming from countries where, perhaps, they grew up under sharia law, i think we can make a safe assumption they have been radicalized. >> lindsey graham was on some show this week saying this

ambassador to the united nations susan rice have called for falk to be fired. officials who questioned the surviving suspect in the bombing say they were motivated at least in part by the u.s. wars in iraq and afghanistan. the suspect, dzhokhar tsarnaev, was badly wounded in an overnight standoff with police last week. he has been moved from a hospital to prison. the newspaper egypt independent, known for its in-depth coverage of egypt's revolution and aftermath, is closing. its owner has cited financial issues, but many said the true motive is to quash revolutionary voices. egyptian blogger wrote -- in the final edition, published online, after it was reportedly blocked from going to press, a chief editor wrote -- to see our interview with lina, go to democracynow.org. the united nations security council has voted to send peacekeeping troops to mali where french troops are aiding the government in its struggle against militants. the force of roughly 11,000 soldiers and 1400 police officers would deploy july 1. venezuelan authorities have arrested a u.s. filmma

susan rice told the narrative it didn't hold water. it wasn't a spontaneous event by video. boston got its problems too. >> this is the president speaking at news conference responding to jessica yellin's question. >> lindsey graham, senior member of the armed services committee said that benghazi and boston are both examples of the u.s. going backwards on national security. is he right? and did our intelligence miss something? >> no, mr. graham is not right on this issue, although i'm sure it generated some headlines. you know i think that what we saw in boston was state, local, federal officials, every agency, rallying around a city that had been attack ed, identifying the perpetrators just hours after the scene had been examined. we now have one individual deceased, one in custody, charges have been brought. i think that all of our law enforcement officials performed in an exemplary fashion after the bombing had taken place and we should be very proud of their work. >> very proud of the work. senator graham, you want to directly respond this this part of what the presiden

yet the american people still do not know why ambassador susan rice, during a heated presidential race, made so many false statements to the american people about what happened in benghazi. more specifically, on september 16, 2012, on the this week with a george stephanopoulos, ambassador rice stated and i quote, what this began as, it was a spontaneous not a premeditated response to what transpired in cairo, end quote. yet on the very same day, living president stated on npr quote the idea that this criminal and cowardly act was a spontaneous protest has just spun out of control is completely unfounded and preposterous. we firmly believe that this was a pretax income preplanned attack that was good and specifically to attack the u.s. consulate, end quote. similarly the state department's own accountability review board concluded that there were no protests prior to the attack over the u.s. consulate. again on september 16, 2012, on "meet the press" with david gregory this time, ambassador rice stated quote, what happened in benghazi was, in fact, initially a spontaneous reaction to wh

jenna: susan rice arrived at the while house.ell-put you put it, senator, what sort of the tentacles out there. is this just two individuals or is this more. getting back to the question why watertown? doesn't appear it would be on anyone's radar for any particular reason regarding this particular crime. >> watertown is like virtually every other community surrounding boston. it is a very diverse community. i know they're going to be hurting. there will a large amount of healing needed because they will have a black eye on them because of this situation. knowing a lot of people from watertown, they're resilient and they're hard-working and, in massachusetts, listen, being from massachusetts we're very resilient. this is where our freedom and democracy began. we are americans first and we'll band together especially with the love and prayers and help that the entire, the entire country and parts of the world have given us. what it also does it makes us keenly aware that we are targets. that people want to change the way we live an

. >> almost immediately when he made his comments, ambassador susan rice, she said it was time for himsaid it's time to get rid of them. is there anything you can do? >> culture at the united nations is such that merely firing one guy will not change anything. this is not a mistake, richard falk. he's not a mistake or aberration. and all of a sudden everything will get right. the view of the un of kids and people trick-or-treat fourth unicef, that's not coming back. the thing for the united states to do is resign from the human rights council. it's a clown convention anyway. stop funding it. his salary, we pay 22%. that's our assessed contribution for the u.n. regular budget. 22%. we should defund all the activities of the human rights council and then maybe they will pay attention. >> can we do that, can we say no more dough for this? >> i think we can. we are required to pay set contributions or some contributions to the u.n. but you are not required to adhere to any international treaty that's been violated and, lord knows, the u.n. charter has been violated more times than we can c

susan rice has condemned this and other u.n. officials have condemned this.the past they have said good things about the human rights council which has been among its critics a joke that isn't at all funny because you have so many violators of human rights on the council. >> greta: he tried to bac pedaa little bit. he says the only effort was to suggest in addition to grieving and bringing the pe perpetratos to justice -- he only said it after he was outraged. >> he says he wasn't trying to connect any dots but he was. and the dots were are that the world has been enrage by american conduct and the war on terror, the war in afghanistan and the war in iraq. the bush administration in general and this is what happened. he called and he is an american, remember, he called the united states a menace to the world. and to itself in the original post. so he is backing off a little bit if you read his correction or explanation today. >> greta: a little late, though. >> a little late. >> greta: a little late. >> and also because he got so many negative comments like h

he'd made susan rice and ron kirk cabinet level positions, i certainly expect he will continue to doat doesn't justify to his cabinet but also throughout corporate america. in fact, we see that oftentimes in the media when folks are merging. i know for example cnn has also faced criticism. so when you deal with criticism, it's really all about the response. and the president is just beginning to respond. >> the charlotte mayor, i got to know him a little bit when i was in charlotte at the democrac convention. by all accounts he did an excellent job. what do you think, is he going to have any controversy on his confirmation? as you know, so many of the president's nominees, they've had pretty rough going during those confirmation hearings. >> i think it's safe to say, wolf, that the president period has had pretty rough going whether it's this latest gun control measure or what we expect to see with comprehensive immigration reform, the nominees have certainly been catching it from hagel to, you know, now mayor ype of criticism that hagel faced. we know kerry was certainly easy to kin

you've got hillary clinton as one of the big headliners, you have susan rice, a lot going on at womene world. and angelina jolie and announcing new aid in the name of malala, for women and girls, trying to get education. >> indeed, it's an incredible lineup and we're thrilled that hillary clinton is again coming to women in the world this friday, the fourth time she's been, so we feel enormously honored at her support. we have a great line-up. we've brought women in all over the world to talk about the issues that are confronting women right now. we have as well as the big headliners that you mentioned, including meryl streep, which you didn't, extraordinarily leaders from libya, syria, afghanistan, sometimes those are the women that people leave lincoln center talking about, even more than the big headliners you talked about. >> let's go through a couple of the women that you and i have been talking about in your lineup. one is from sierra leone. mckenna deprince, an orphan from sierra leone. another example of the courageous women, considering what they're facing in the world. the y

. >> but they're sort of the legal framework which the administration, susan rice, worked through in terms of the libya operation. but then there's also the question of whether any of this stuff that david listed -- >> libya -- >> there was a u.n. resolution. whether any of this can work, syria is a lot different. their anti-air operation defenses are a lot more sophisticated than libya. it would have to be a much bigger, more robust more aggressive military action to have an impact. particularly if you're targeting the chemical weapons, which, if they are there, they could be anywhere. figuring out how to come up with an effective military response, even if you get the u.n. or the arab league onboard, is also a really big challenge. >> let's go to the american situation. as i mentioned, john mccain often the hawk in these discussions. last night on fox, he went further. let's watch senator mccain. >> it's a shameful chapter in american history, and i hope that this new revelation of chemical weapons will move the president to do what he should have done two years ago. from the state

also secretary susan rice our secretary to the united nations two years ago also called for him to beed and again on twitter yesterday said she denounces his what he. >> megyn: of course she does any true patriotic american would denounce this guy. >> try to smudge the u.n. and smudge the obama administration. let's be clear where both of those bodies stand with respect to this guy. now, separate from that. >> megyn: but i'm not that persuade. >> sally, one thing though, you talk about actions over words. it's like the. they write a boldly worded letter and supposedly that stops all problems. actions matter. we give them money. lots of money. we can say we want action. we have someone who sits there and does this and speaks about jews, everyone basically is an anti-anything that is not part of the far par outlier left. we divided to join this council? actions matter. a tweet in 1 40 characters or less does not say anything. say we withdraw from the council. >> more important things to do than police every volunteer person. >> megyn: he has a long history in the human rights council. >

after the attack susan rice and the president themselves said the the attack was inspired by a videon america that led to a riot. this was a coordinated terrorist attack. benghazi is a system failure. this administration hasn't found anybody involved in the attack. and i think they haven't looked very hard at all. they've been more trying to cover up what happened than they have trying to get to the bottom of it. jon: again the news conference went on for 45 minutes. the president had quite a bit to say. we'll be examining the answers and the questions throughout the day here on fox. senator lindsey graham republican from south carolina, thank you for joining us today. jenna: another big question asked at the president's news conference addressed concerns about the implementation of the new healthcare law. the president says it's on track tra track, despite criticism that it may be too come phra the indicated. what the white house is doing today to address just that. wendell goler is live with us next. why did this oscar winning hollywood star just check herself back into a clinic? f

. >> i spoke with susan rice at the dinner. without, i don't think, compromising her comments, she gave the president unlikely -- she did not expect the u.n. to be able to move in. >> yeah. they have had the team standing buy in cypress and the head of the team came back to new york for quote, unquote consultations which i think is another way of saying back to square one. >> if there is evidence that there has been, the president, i looked at things comments the other day as you pointed out, stematic use of chemical weapons but if we get to that point, what do you think we could be talking about? what are the possible options? >> listen to the sunday talk shows. there is no political support for putting u.s. troops on the ground. i don't think there is the slightest desire in the obama administration to put troops in on the ground. i think what you are talking about is crating safe zones for syrian civilians which would still be an enormous undertaking because you have to establish a no-fly zone overhead and you have to make s

i think sending the b-22s and the b-52s and susan rice has done an excellent job on this issue in thes what's happening in north korea. >> go ahead, richard rowolffe. >> is it just a game or do you think it's something more serious going on? >> one area of the world where we have very little intelligence because it is such a closed society. not even a country, like i described it as an organized crime family running a territory. so inswithdrawn. is he putting himself so far out that he can't get out. an added element is this time in south korea, the new president of south korea, she will retaliate if there is any action at all taken against south korea. this is one where we have to watch it extremely carefully. the fact that the administration is moving so many resources and assets to that area of the world. >> need to send back dennis rodman. >> probably the greatest, you know -- this is what happened to the world. dennis rodman taking the place of henry kissinger. >> i'll switch topics here and talk about what's going on here at home specifically in your community and we're at six-m

i can tell you that susan rice and never go out and purposely misleading. at some point, we have to find a way to make a judgment here about how much information we have and how much information is someone out there that might contribute something further constructively. i will work with you. i do not want to spend the next year coming up here talking about benghazi. if there is something legitimate that really needs to be put on the table, i will put it on the table. i will work with you in good faith. i believe you will not have questions. i ask you to put what your members feel they need, but let's put this behind us. we have serious, major current important vital to our national security issues to be debating. i will help you cleared the air on this, but i want to do it in a fair minded way. >> we will not go to mr. schneider of illinois. >> -- now go to mr. schneider of illinois. let me start by expressing my condolences to the families lost in boston. my wishes for a full recovery to those injured. i want to extend condolences to anne's family. i thin

susan b. anthony, what does he say? he says i can't speak for dr. rice what's in her head or heart, but i know for sure that her move was sell have is-- he selfish and disappointing. so if you break the black box you're supposed to be in. i know mark, i've been down with this road with him for years. if you break out of the black box, they're going to denigrate you, demean you, say you didn't do enough or shouldn't have done it, when in fact it's not up to you to decide what the choice is. >> he does speak to that comparison and sent out tweets about it, you're comparing condoleezza rice to jackie robinson and rosa parks as you just did. such comparisons are not only inappropriate, but also disrespectful. he doesn't elaborate on that, he goes on to say i'm not criticizing for her being the first, but not making her membership congressional on real change. they do allow women at augusta as members. >> that changed. >> megyn: and allow african-americans at augusta and i think that tiger woods was the first or one of the first. >> right. >> megyn: so they'v
