he said the white house. guess the question is, people wanted to know where the commander in chief was that night in this breaking situation. at that point, they don't know where the ambassador is. we don't find out he's dead until much later and the battle is still going on. we had never up until that interview heard anybody from the white house say he was not in the situation room. >> that's one question of the direct involvement of the president acting on information as it was coming in. the second question, did hillary clinton, who at 10:00 releases this statement about a video. did she talk that night with leon panetta and what did he say? because he sits under a torrent of information coming in from around the world to the u.s. military and the pentagon. so again, it's a question of what did they know? it's not new for government to massage the true. -- the truth. it's not new for them to go as far as they can possibly go with a particular comforting theory, such as the video. what is new, and this woul

the white house is saying $8 million, 28%. a house committee sedley republicans said 7% of enrollees have paid their premium. of the 67 per they say 18 -- of the 67%, 18-34 is just 28%. >> of those people 18-24, only 25% have paid for their policy. those are folks who sign up and put it in the basket. then people say they have to pay for it. they say wait a second. i didn't know i had to pay for this. you can't exaggerate the rub are hits the road. the numbers there are better in terms of who paid. blue cross, blue shield says 80% have paid. well point says 90% paid. but those are big companies. bill: give us the abcs. >> reporter: 18-34 have to be over 40 per for the numbers to work. right then and there it's skewed. it's completely flawed from the beginning. up to 400% above poverty. we know this, we saw the first quarter gdp numbers. the thing that spiked the most, healthcare costs. the biggest spike in history. premiums are going up. it skewed to implode on itself. it's a ticking time bomb and we can see it. we have the cha

congress tried to move in on the white house. ey wanted to become the one that would help resident woodrow wilson start having regular press conferences and selecting who would attend. >> a select group of journalists formed. >> looking back 100 years and think the pictures and hearing the history, it is amazing how things have evolved. the organization was started by a group of white men, not women, not minorities, but a group of men. >> franklin roosevelt was the first president to allow a black a white houseinto press conference. >> harry mcalpine became the first african-american white house correspondent. in his honor, the association has established a scholarship for young and aspiring journalists. >> we always had women members. but we would not let them attend their dinner. >> the general attitude was this was a stag event. >> a sense that women journalists almost did not belong. >> it was not until three women reporters on including helen thomas, and to john f. kennedy and said, we would like you to help us get into this

if you guys are so innocent of heart to think that ben rhodes and the white house don't care about the president's image, you've never been in a white house. they all care. this was in the email that you have a steady and steadfast presence. that you maintain the president's presence. you talk about boehner should step up there. you forget there have been house investigations. hillary clinton testified. senate intel came out in january and said yes the violent video did spark protest in egypt and tunisia. >> what difference does it make? >> he can go ahead and call for a vote for a joint select committee with the power of subpoena -- >> we've had investigation. >> the difference here so you are saying ben rhodes purposefully changed the facts -- >> he didn't change any facts. >> so the president could look good. >> no, no. what he said was let's make sure that we don't get into a policy discussion. we want to have it so the president comes across as steady and strong. >> i'm so surprised, juan, that you've covered white houses. you've got amazing investigative journalism. maybe this st

cover the white house -- cover the how does from outside in. don't go to the white house briefings. go to the correspondents dinner. >> the spirit of the correspondents dinner is to climb over each other. >> you did that. >> i'll never do it again. expect the president -- the press to a-- the press reflects obama, he's the mirror. the white house is going to -- white house press is going to change their tune and when there's a republican, they were going to be where were you during benghazi? president romney. >> i'm saddened by this, when i was growing up and watching the news which i love, i thought that becoming a white house correspondent would be the pinnacle a journalist's contemporary but a recent poll taken by -- a survey of journalists said that the white house beat is actually kind of boring and not what they wanted to do. kimberly, what do you make of that? >> i don't know. i thought you had an awesome job. >> i had a great job. i thought about the reporters. >> you can't really do your job. that's the situation now. if you do, you are going to be ostracized and demonized b

, he writes to a dozen members of the administration's inner circle, including key players on the white house communications team, such as jay carney, that one of the goals is to underscore that protests are rooted in internet video and not a broader failure of policy. >> the goal of the white house was to do one thing, which was to make the president look good, blame it on the video and not on the president's policies. >> reporter: the rhodes' e-mail is significant, because it was not part of the 100 pages of e-mails released last may by the administration and it conflicted with the available intelligence, a point reinforced in new congressional testimony. >> was it a video? >> no, sir. >> was it a video that sparked a protest? >> no, sir. >> reporter: when pushed to explain the rhodes' e-mail, the white house claimed it was not about the murder of four americans. >> this was not about benghazi, it was about the overall situation in the region. >> reporter: but the rhodes' e-mail talks about justice for those who harmed americans and the only americans killed on september 11 were in benghazi

the white house says sometimes as a deflect a little bit but i do ask that question sincerely. we know all the major players inside the white house at the time but i can't even tell you the name of one of the people that is a suspect in this attack. i wonder how that adds to this whole equation and whether or not we have our priorities straight? >> what does it say to that part of the world? kill americans, you will never be held accountable. one of the people who supposedly was a ringleader, sits in a cafe in benghazi giving interviews to the "new york times" and other places. we know where he is. why don't we go get him? too many unanswered questions. jenna: the hand is up. we'll leave it there. kt, great to see you. thank you for the analysis. appreciate it. check out by the way art he kel, editorial on foxnews.com. tune in for a on the newly-released benghazi e-mails. white house cover-up revealed. bret baier will be host of that, saturday, 10:00 p.m. eastern time. sunday at 9:00 p.m. eastern only on the fox news channel. jon? jon: we heard, jenna from some new voices regard

it circulated at the highest levels of the white house. those on the chain apparently trying to figure out how to respond to a specific fox news report contradicting the white house narrative about what happened in the 24 hours after the assault on our consulate. chief intelligence correspondent catherine herridge is live for us in washington with the breaking details. what do you know about this e-mail? >> gretchen, the e-mail chain two weeks after the attack from september 27th and 28th, 2012, is being withheld from the executive branch dribrations and there's concern they say that releasing the unclassified content of these e-mails could have a chilling effect. on the e-mail chain, senior administration officials, including mcdonough, john brennan and ben rhodes, september 14th, 2012 e-mail critics say linked benghazi to shape the discussion. the fox report from september 27th concluded the white house knew about terrorism within 24 hours and run information prior to those statements, including those of the president. >> the seven-page d

that only comes from the white house. >> only the white house.hat was republican congressman jason chaffetz on the benghazi story that was yesterday. also, there are two major developments today in the quest for answers on benghazi. first, congressman darrell issa has issued a subpoena for secretary of state john kerry to testify before the house oversight committee on may 21st. second, house speaker john boehner announced a special committee to further investigate what really happened that night. so will republicans ever get the answers? will the families ever get the answer that they've been waiting for regarding the terror attack that killed four americans? here with reaction, the host of "war stories," colonel oliver north. one thing i know, there is a videotape of what happened there. >> sure. by the way, sean -- >> wouldn't that have answered a lot of questions a year and a half ago? >> of course it would have. and of course what you just said. the question you just asked, will they ever get answers? yes, now that there is a special committ

and that for sometime by secretary shinseki, the white house had to sign-off on that. hey knew the choreography, and they knew that they were going to be calling shinseki here to the white house immediately after that speech and the course that the events would take. and they offered shinseki the opportunity. and i think it's a very significant sign of respect from the president to shinseki, and the president saying several times that he has great respect enter him and he considered him a friend and good man. he said i can't explain the lack of integrity among some of our leaders in the healthcare facility. it's a breach of trust. and i will not defend it because it's indifferencable and we know what happened in the hours following those comments. >> mike viqueira at the white house. and we continue to follow the breaking news out of washington. that being the fact that just a short a while ago, the president came into the white house briefing room, telling reporters that he had accepted the resignation of eric shinseki. there were reports coming out of the phoenix va t

>> the white house press court today pressed the million dollar question never before, has the white house been open, honest and forthcoming on benghazi? tonight, the answer. plus. >> come and get me mr. president, if you must, i will not yield to your wick id regulati regulation. >> one of the most prominent leaders scathing up the past. why this puts his message for the national day of prayer. >> effective immediately, i am banning mr. sterling for life. >> donald sterling is the latest public fact your to pay an ugly price for remarks. sterling, ike, robertson and more on a busy "kelly file" right now. >>> breaking tonight, new fallout as the white house is caught in apparent deceptions about the benghazi terror attack. welcome to the "kelly file." i'm megyn kelly reporting from los angeles. the benghazi news is about an administration spinning, down play rather than come clean about a terror attack that killed four americans including our ambassador. contrary to previous denial, documents unearthed this week show a white house that was directing the spin on benghazi, though not cl

a new e-mail surfaced under court order, a document the white house wanted to hide showing the adadministration to it up and avoid policy failures. this when the white house knew officials on the ground in benghazi said this was a preplanned terror attack. this was too much for the main stream media to ignore. >> it did not come from the cia. you sit there at the podium time of time she was referring to talking points created by the cia a. why were you holding back this information? why was this e-mail not released? this is directly relevant. why did you hold it back? >> does the white house have a firm understanding of what happened to those americans that night? >> the answer broadly -- >> 15 months ago. >> well, no. >> a video, protest? >> you should ask the intelligence community. >> can you image anyone not being a partisan, not being a conspiracy theoriest somebody sued the state department or application is requested, this comes back because their request is about benghazi and then you say it has nothing to do with benghazi. can you imagine somebody being confused about that sequence of

have you sent a letter to the white house. demanding to know where president obama was the night of september 11th, 2012. why do you want to he know that? >> the president of the united states while an ongoing tragedy is taking place our consulate being under attack, you would think that, like the video that we saw of the strike on usama bin laden, that we would see many pictures of the president attentive. all we know is that he was briefed by panetta and dempsey and they left and there was no further communication. could i say, first of all, i think it's important that the democrats join in this. when joe lieberman and i said we ought to have a 9/11 commission, the bush administration didn't want it. when abu abu ghraib happened i condemned it waterboarding i condemned it those were all under the bush administration and for them to say that this is partisan, look, if there is nothing to it, as they are saying there is nothing to it, they should want this committee because then they will prove themselves right. then they would

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 tips speaker boehner over the line into pointing a select committee. >> why is the editorial board, though, so opposed to at least getting to the bottom of the facts. maybe at the end nothing was suspicious. there's enough suspicious information that has not been answered. why is the editorial board so -- calling it a circus and -- >> well, byron mentioned there are two different issues that we're dealing with here. one

>> in the white house. let me finish my statement. the notion that we could divine motives from a drone feed i think is wrong. and also i think this idea that the military had the capability to rescue those individuals but chose not to i think is extremely unfair to the military. and admirable mullen said basically the opposite. >> in the arb report. >> right. >> where was the president? >> in the white house. >> he wasn't in the situation room. >> at what point in the evening? >> any point in the evening. >> it's well known that when the attack was first briefed to him it was in the oval office and he was updated constantly. and during that briefing he told tom donilon and his joint chiefs and sek dev to move all military into the region. >> when hillary clinton talks to him at 10:00 p.m., he's where? >> i don't have a atracking device on him. >> you were in the situation room and he wasn't there. >> i was in the white house. >> the president wasn't in the situation room. >> not in the room i was in. let's just be clear. you don't hav

is the white house delegate all about benghazi or is the white house hiding something? up next, the o'reilly factor but go to gretawire and vote in our poll. see you tomorrow night. 7 p.m. >>> the o'reilly factor is on. tonight. >> this is a classic coverup of a coverup. and that is a serious offense. >> why isn't the national media covering the explosive benghazi memo release yesterday? we'll tell you what the memo says and why the press fears it. >> the creepy part is that, yeah, when you get taped in your own house, and then that goes out to the world. >> the creepy part is when you demean the entire black race. but some people still don't get that tonight, we'll talk it over with kareem abdul jabbar. >> also coming up, miller on basketball racism and watters goes to harlem to find out what the folks think. >> do you think sterling is making white people look bad? >> he is not making white people look bad. is he making himself look bad. >> caution, you are about to enter the no spin zone. the factor begins right now. >> ♪ ♪ hi, i'm bill o'reilly. thanks for watching

it's like there's nobody in charge at the white house. >> late today, the white house said the chief of staff here has asked white house counsel to look into what happened and report back with recommendations to make sure that something like this never happens again. bret. >> doug, thank you. senior political analyst brit hume is here tonight with analysis. 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 l

the white house had prevailed. the program would remain a well-kept secret. >> the president has ordered a major shake-up of america's spy operations... >> the nuts and bolts of intelligence will fall to lieutenant general michael hayden, who now heads up the once super secret... >> narrator: general hayden was promoted by the white house to help oversee all intelligence operations. he was replaced by a new general: keith alexander. the change gave tom drake another chance to voice his concerns about "the program." he wrote general alexander a classified letter. >> within the system, my last official act for all intents and purposes was to write that formal letter to alexander. >> narrator: the letter said the nsa's intelligence gathering activities were out of control and needed to be reined in. >> this is a crusade for him. being drake, someone who's got a somewhat obsessive personality, he keeps trying to get the word out. >> narrator: but general alexander was no more responsive than hayden had been, and by writ

finally tomorrow is the white house correspondents' dinner. alking more about that later in the show. but in the meantime let's take a look at some comedic highlights of the past courtesy of c-span. >> people walk around under all kinds of delusions. there are men walking around thinking they're jesus, there are men walking around thinking they're napoleon. there are men walking around thinking that congress is going to pass their budget in the first 100 days. >> finally have an announcement for those of you watching tonight's event live on c-span. for god's sake, it's saturday night. >> president clinton had some wonderful, wonderful international triumphs such as bringing the arabs and israelis together. remember that day in the rose garden when they were all in step? ♪ >> that's "hardball" for now. coming up next, "your business" with j.j. ramberg. gy season, wiu be a sound sleeper, or... a mouth breather? well, put on a breathe right strip and instantly open your nose up to 38% more than allergy medicines alone. so you can breathe and sleep

just down pennsylvania avenue, the other bombshell, the e-mail coming from the white house. here is chief intelligence correspondent katherine herridge. >> reporter: the information is beginning to unravel in a very public way. the e-mailins lead to the white house, suggesting a senior adviser prepared susan rice for the sunday talk shows where she blamed an anti-muslim internet video for the death of four americans. >> if this is not a smoking gun proving beyond any doubt that the story told by the administration about benghazi was politically motivated and fabricat fabricated, nothing will ever prove that. >> reporter: among more than 100 pages of documents obtained by judicial watch as part of a federal lawsuit is an e-mail from ben rhodes, adviser for strategic communicationings. rose writes to a dozen of the administration circle, including spokesperson jay carney, that one of the goal is to underscore that the protests are rooted in an internet video and not a broader failed policy. >> the goal of the white house was to do one thing, primarily, which was to make the pre

the truth. chief white house correspondent ed henry is on it, live at the white house. his issue already getting a lot of attention. it was about preparing for a sunday show. what can you tell us? >> reporter: that's right. look, the white house is pushing back hard on what is said in this book on that one anecdote. this is tim geithner who was the treasury secretary at the time, saying that basically as he prepare for sun talk shows, dan pfeiffer, one of the president's top aides, was one of the advisors that was explaining to him what to say about the economy, about programs like social security. allegation in the book is that dan pfeiffer told timothy geithner to say on the sunday shows that social security does not increase the deficit. >> constantly publicly because it is a fact is that social security is not the main driver of our deficit. it is certainly not the driver of our near and medium-term deficit challenges and we have always taken an approach which is to pursue social security on a separate track. >> obviously this has been a subject -- sore subject for t

the white house on the defense over a new smoking gun benghazi e-mail. >> it is prompting a show downn the newsroom. >> heather and ainsley the obama white house is scrambling to explain the administration response to the benghazi terror attack. the prep call with susan was not about the murder of four americans. >> it was not about benghazi it was about the overall situation in the region. >> jay carney insisted there were two talking points with unabout benghazi and roads about unrest in the region. to bolster the case it said the president routinely criticizes. >> fox news sunday's promo begins anti u.s. protests are spreading across the arab world. >> the explanation conflicting with the court record. the e-mail was released to judicial watch which was for benghazi documents. it was released to capitol hill after a subpoena was issued. >> the oversit committee ask--o site committee asked for e-mails about benghazi they gave us the video. susan rice connected it to benghazi carney denied it saying she used the best intelligence. >> she was prepared as members of congress based on w

what was the white house doing?y are doing everything they could behind the scenes to keep her as a friendly witness. >> what did you think of monica lewinsky? you indicated you had a certain am of sympathy for her. was she smart, savvy, streetwise? vulnerable? an intern? how did you see her? >> she struck me as all of those things. again i'm talking about her back then. she had been dragged through an awful lot. i wasn't quite sure what to expect but i perceived her to be very smart, very savvy and you know, very poised. >> and at the end, as you look back at this, the role that the white house played and the allegation that bill clinton had attempted to get her to lie and indeed did get her to lie in an affidavit in one of the sexual harassment cases. how did you look at the president? >> i guess the great frustration i had, it is a linger frustration but i don't len it haunt me. america still doesn't know why president clinton was impeached. everybody believes, they think president clinton was impeached because h

caught in a misrepresentation the white house blamed the cia for bad intelligence. >> these protests were in reaction to a video that had spread to the region. the video of the unrest. and the white house and state department have made clear the single adjustment made to those talking points by either of those two institutions were changing words consulate to diplomatic facility. >> we provided assessments of what happened in benghazi based on information provided by the intelligence community the only edits made by anyone were stylistic and not substantive. >> secondly i would say when it comes to silence we've been clear about edits athat were made at the suggestion of the white house. >> fox news and a handful of others continued pushing and ultimately emerged the white house had not been honest. it did edit the benghazi talking points. and this is tack was not about a video or in protest. cia, the question remained who decided to blame the video? this month an answer came, a new e mail surfaced under court order. a document the white house wanted to hide showing administration iss

denials. >> it has been repeatedly said by some of the critics on this issue on the hill that the white housevided talking points. that has been categorically refuted. the only edits made by anyone here at the white house were stylistic and nonsubstantive. they corrected the description of the building where the facility in benghazi from consulate to diplomatic facility, and the like. >> but then this week under a court order the administration had to release this memo from white house advisor ben rhodes. under the list of goals for rice he wrote, "to underscore that these protests are rooted in an internet video and not a broader failure of policy." carney may have been right. they didn't edit the cia talking points, but it tushz out ben rhodes and the white house had written their own talking points. >> they had written the talking points about what was going on in these protests in two dozen countries, and i think it's important to remember what ambassador rice was preparing for on your show and others. when she sat in this seat that i'm sitting in right now, benghazi was not the first que

, the obama white house mishandled this thing. ld have told the truth. >> if she says that to the press, nobody will hear it because they won't report it all right, mr. rove, i have got to goncht well, they may. because jonathan karl today showed the mainstream press -- >> -- we'll see. >> is willing to stand up on this issue. >> karl, he is a good reporter. but we will see what they do with it. directly ahead, kareem abdul jabbar on race in america. later, miller and watters need say more? those reports after these mess sandals.

correspondent joins us live from the white house, good evening, ed. >> good to see you. >> ed, tell me what's the sort of the temperature inside the white house in ben baez? they think we are all a bunch of crack pots trying to get information or are they running for cover? >> well, look, i think they are definitely on defense. there is no doubt about it played the clips today. you played some yesterday. john carcinoma of abc news, jim acostas, cnn. people pushing on this story that were not a week ago or two weeks ago. they think they are going to get beyond this news cycle and be able to turn the page on it it let's see, i think in their defense the majority of the ben rhodes email was about cairo and the rest of the muslim world, not just focused on benghazi but you are certainly right that benghazi was the flash point here. so, a, to suggest that that was not the focus of everyone's attention at that time is hard to sell, let's put it that way. secondly, to now say that this wynn rhodes email was not about benghazi when in fact it was turned over us a you

an e-mail and from the white house. here is katherine herridge. >> nearly 20 months after the t attack in benghazi the administration explanation of ra who knew what and when are w beginning toh untravel in a public way. an e-mail sent three-days after the attack leads directly to the white house and suggests a senioror advisor to president obama played a central role to u.s. ambassador susan rice to the sunday talk show who had a anti muslim video for the death of four americans. >> if this is not a smoking gun provingif beyond any doubt the story told administration about b benghazi was politically ev fabricated nothing will. >> 120 documents as part of a federal lawsuit is an e-mail from ben roads an assistant to t the president and deputy national security advisor with the subject line rodeized to a dozen inner circle including key players on the white house w communications team such as a spokesman jay carney. they under scored these protests are rooted in an inted net video and not a broader failure of policy. >> t

any response about that from the white house today? >> well the white house believes it is a significant effect, and the ruble in the stock market has been impacted and they have gone up a little bit since the sanctions were put into place, but the white house is insistent, and a lot of the economists are saying there has been an effect which is from the uncertainty that exists, and right now, the potential for the future sanctions going forward and that is so critical in this and key to all of this is what president obama said, and i was traveling with him, when he was in asia last week, and he said that the xiangs are going to be more effective if with we are more unified, and that is clearly the primary focus over the course of the conversations today. >> all right. ambassador hollyday, we are getting new information that the u.n. security council is going to have a formal meeting on ukraine at noon eastern today, and what is happening as all of the key players are really trying to figure out some kind of a solution here? >> well, i

national solutions that the white house proposed. tting carbon pollutions, investing in clean energy. adapting transportation, health care to prepare for the impact on climate change, and working with other countries to address climate change globally. the white house says if we don't act we'll have a multibillion tab, and many problems will be irreversible. >> thank you. talk of climate change fires up party activism. mike viqueira is at the white house with more. it will not be easy for president obama to change some people's minds on capitol hill, does it. >> you are right. the die was cast. the partisan's lines were drawn. the cap and trade legislation put forward. a lot of promise, the white house was hopeful, it failed and many think it cost democrats seats over the long firm. we had a situation where democrats from louisiana, arkansas, alaska, in the senate are pushing things like the keystone pipeline. it is pushed by the conservative democrats, going rogue against the president. they gave a series of interviews to meteorologi

geithner and what he's talking about in his new book about prepping for these sunday shows what the white house wanted him to say. what do you make about that? >> the process he described, where dan pfeiffer in one case and another white house aide in a separate one gave him a sense of what they were -- what he was expected to say fits perfectly with what white houses have been doing for a long time, including this one, that is you don't go on a sunday show unless a white house sends you on a sunday show and you don't go on the sunday show without knowing physical well what the house wants you to say. >> specifically. >> that doesn't mean in all cases you can't resist. it doesn't mean you can't go out and say something else. that's not normally what happens, which is why this is relevant in some respects to what happened in benghazi. which is susan rice went on the sun shows and recites what the cia told her. i doubt you believe that true. i think the white house had a lot to say about what she said. >> the u.n. says the catholic church may be guilty of torture for opposing abortion. first the

it circulated at the highest levels of the white house. in apparently trying to figure out how to respond to a specific fox news report contradicting the white house narrative about what happened in the 24 hours after the assault on our consulate. chief intelligence correspondent catherine herridge is live for us in washington with the breaking details. what do you know about this e-mail? >> gretchen, the e-mail chain two weeks after

the white house doctor checks the president for pollyps and george clooney's head. arney is here. i haven't seen him this nervous since the president told him, just go out there and tell them the website's broken. they'll understand. that actually probably was a monument. mr. president, you is to admit that the launch of healthcare.gov was bad. it was so bad. the website is now the thing that people use to describe other bad things. they say stuff like, i shouldn't have eaten that sushi. i was up all night healthcare.goving. look at my new rug the dogs healthcare.goved on it. you can't get healthcare.gov out of shag. but thanks to obamacare millions of newly insure young americans can visit a doctor's office and see what a print magazine actually looks like. that's awesome. now over 8 million people have signed up for obamacare which sounds impressive until you realize that ashley did tail has 12 million twitter followers. so it's pretty good. there's a lot going on in the world right now. there's a madman who has had plastic surgery running around an exing small cou

it's a routine release by the white house. military furniture jishd a list of people meeting with the president and they released it to the white house pool which is a subset of the white house press corps which represents on things like trips all of the press corps and that then went out through e-mail to 6,000 journalists. and so this thing happened. obviously it was an oversight. it was a mistake. but one wonders what kind of an operation you have where such an egregious mistake could be made. it feeds into this ongoing sort of running story that has led to suggestions that this is an administration that has a trouble running things. >> does someone need to get fired? >> reporter: well, i would think so. you know, if you make a mistake like this, there needs to be consequences. you can't say well poor old so-and-so is a member of the junior varsity and didn't know what he or she was doing and it was an honest mistake, they need to be forgiven. people need to be disciplined and so others will be alert in the future. >> speaki

there's a shakeup at the white house. jim kuhnhenn the san antonio mayor. >> guest: julianne castro. >> host: what is the president doing here? >> guest: he's bringing in shaun donovan who is the current secretary of housing into the white house to be the budget director. that's what he wants. and moving julianne castro who is of well-liked at the white house. he is one of two brothers that of maynard name for themselves and his brother joaquin is a member of congress. so if donovan goes to the budget office at omb he will be replacing sylvia burwell who won't have a vote this week on being secretary of health and human services and castro would come in as secretary of housing if he is confirmed by the senate. it's an interesting move because castro really is kind of a known figure and a rising star within the democratic party but his base is in san antonio and perhaps within the hispanic community. this is an attempt perhaps to raise his visibility and four the hispanic prominence. certainly the white house has come under

some very big news at the white house, on two fronts. this morning, president obama announced the resignation of eric shinseki and just hours later the announcement of another resignation, his long time press secretary jay carney will be moving on. first to the changes at the v.a., here's the president earlier. >> a few minutes ago, secretary shinseki offered me his own resignation with considerable regret, i accepted. i am grateful for his service as are many veterans across the country. he does not want to be a distraction because his priority is to fix the problem and make sure our vets are getting the care that they need. my assessment was unfortunately that he was right. >> and here is general shinseki today just a short while before the announcement. >> i was too trusting of some and i accept it as accurate reports that i now know have been misleading with regard to patient wait times. i will not defend it because it's indefensible. i apologize as a senior leader of the department of veterans affairs. >> sloan gibson was named as th

level -- now, these are people that work for the white house, for the administration -- were very intent on shaping the story about benghazi away from what they knew to be the truth. and here's the problem for the white house. this was seven weeks before an election. president obama had said repeatedly bin laden's dead, al qaeda is on the run, the war is receding, my foreign policy is working. many of us were critical of president obama's foreign policy, particularly in libya because africa daffy fell, -- after qadhafi fell, we did nothing to secure the country. senator mccain and a couple of others and myself, senator rubio, went in 2011 to libya and we said in an op-ed piece if we don't get rid of these militias, libya is going to become a safe haven for terrorists. and you have got to understand this about the benghazi consulate -- it had been previously attacked in april of 2012. the british ambassador had been attacked in june of 2012. the british closed their consulate. the red cross closed their office because they had been attacked, and we have got email traffic coming fro

and in the house, speaker boehner has been hesitant to appoint one. >>> meantime, the white house notbenghazi, defending its position that newly surfaced e-mails have nothing to do with the attack. the white house press secretary referring questions to the state department today. listen to this. >> if the e-mail was not about benghazi as you said yesterday and you say again today, why did the white house turn it over to a conservative group seeking information about benghazi? >> you would have to ask the state department about how they responded to foia requests. i would again point you to the fact that -- all you have to do is read it, ed. right? >> tom fitton is the president of judicial watch, the organization that obtained those new documents and e-mails. great to have you back, tom. we should be clear that the only way you obtained those e-mails and documents is because you sued the government, right? >> that's right. and the government was forced to promise to a court to turn them over to us. and we finally got them april 17th or so. and to hear jay carney talk about it like tha

the terror attack. hello, everyone, welcome to america's news headquarters. i'm eric shawn. >> good to see you this sunday morning. house speaker john boehner calling for a select committee to investigate how the white house responded to the attack that left four americans dead, but a democratic member of the house intelligence committee is dismissing the new revelations today, calling speaker boehner's committee a waste of time and a waste of money. national correspondent steve centanni from our washington bureau with more. what kind of democratic opposition are we seeing? >> democrats say we've had enough benghazi hearings already, most notably the appearance of former secretary of state hillary clinton on capitol hill. congressman adam schiff of california, a member of the house intelligence committee says it makes no sense for democrats to participate in yet another hearing. >> i think it's a colossal waste of time. we've had four bipartisan investigations of this already. i think it's just a tremendous red herring and a waste of taxpayer resources, so i hope the speaker will reconsider, but it looks like he has bowed again to those from the farthest right of his conference. >> other democrats s

is the white house delegate all about benghazi or is the white house hiding something?lly factor but go to gretawire and vote in our poll. see you tomorrow night. 7 p.m. >> tonight on "red eye." >> coming up on "red eye," could elaborate sand sculptures hold the key to reviving the economy? it is the outside the box you won't see today or ever again. what does the president think you should say to friends who claim they can't stay up to watch 4* "red eye"? >> tell them to reconsider. >> and finally, how bad does leonardo do cap dicaprio not want to do a cameo in the upcoming "entourage" movie? what we have to keep him onset. all of these stories on "red eye"
