wendell goler is in honolulu where the president is vacationing. wendell? >> reporter: well, gregg, the president saidly they have no issue with "the new york times" report which as you said found no evidence that al qaeda planned the attack on the benghazi consulate. it involved fighters from different militia groups who'd benefited from nato's attacks on moammar gadhafi's troops and were as anti-american as they were anti-gada dpi. the report also says the video the obama administration blamed did play a role but michigan republican congressman mike rodders is skeptical. >> there was some level of preplanning. we know that. there was aspiration to conduct an attack by al qaeda and their affiliates in libya. we know that. the individuals on the ground talked about a planned tactical movement on the compound even this is the compound before they went to the annex. all of that was directly contradictory to what "the new york times" definitively says was an exhaustive investigation. >> reporter: four americans were killed in the 2012 attack including u.s. amb

suppose a plausible alternative is present or not wendell willkie who was a moderate republican internationalist to rant against roosevelt in 1940, but suppose republicans had nominated charles lindbergh, who was a great aviation hero, he was very isolationist, and quite sympathetic to germany. if he had a president lindbergh instead of a president roosevelt, i think history would've turned out quite differently. i doubt that he would've made the preparations that roosevelt made, and i doubt that after japan attacked the united states that he would have oriented toward toward europe rather than keeping it focused just on asia. so in that sense, franklin roosevelt made a big difference. >> foreign policy and 20th century presidential leadership, later today at 7:30 p.m. eastern. part of american history tv. this weekend on c-span3. >> elizabeth bradley and lauren taylor are next on booktv. the two authors question why compare to all other industrialized nations americans spend more and receive less from our health care system. this is about one hour and 10 minutes. >> hi, everybody, and welcome.

wendell potter, author of obama care, what's in it for me. senior white house reporter for politico and luke chung, founder of a software development firm located in virginia. thanks for joining us. i wanted to start with you luke, you were quoted in an article about the administration and what this website should be able to do here. now today the latest concern is the back to front, what's happening on the so-called back end, meaning the information people can get on now and the distribution of the information and the details to the insurance companies here. how does the administration fix it from now front to what we're now talking about, the back portion of this? >> that's been the big challenge for the whole administration during the process, to get consumers through the marketplace to choose something they want, apply for a subsidy and there are a lot of steps in there that need to work correctly so that people essentially can work through that whole -- >> that's part of the concerns we're hearing today from the insurance industry wendel

so my question then would he part of what you are talking about oliver wendell holmes was sort of mentally above it all in a sense of like that. is that a major area to freedom of speech across the world like you know this dictator, we don't like this that a good thing because they seem to be above it all and we can bring it down to our level by physical force as we can talk like oliver wendell holmes. we can ring it down to our level by physical force so was that a great narrative to freedom of speech back then and now? >> the detachment and the difficulty breaking through to people. i suppose it could be. on the one hand it seems like your question gets at, should we be engaged in more aggressive diplomacy is supposed to force as a country clacks on the other hand, the question might be taken to ask you now is what it takes to advance free speech or for free speech to become personal to people? to the extent that that is what you're asking i think that is kind of the case. i think that's the case with lots of -- lots of legal issues. the justices of the supreme court are people i suppose

holmes -- all over wendell holmes -- oliver wendell holmes and louis brandeis over what the first amendment all about. not every dissent will be like that. maybe one design your entire life will be like that. if you are lucky. i think there are dissents were you are saying, this is the wrong road. they're going to be other cases that will involve other issues. i'm telling you why this is the wrong approach to this entire line of cases. in terms of -- president is very important of course. usually, you need a lot more precedent to overrule a case. if you could overrule a case every time you thought it was wrong, there would not be that much to precedent. it is important to a functioning legal system. it usually means other things. it is unworkable or the legs have been cut out from under it. it is inconsistent with a whole pack of other presidents. -- presidents -- precedents. it is rare to a justice will ay, we got it wrong. the fact you've descended in a case does not mean that you would reverse the case. it is the exact that if the exact same case came before you. it usually it is not the

wendell, is that a wave machine or real thing i hear?at's the real thing, bill. >> that's what i figured. >> that's the real diamondhead over my shoulder too. >> enough, enough. >> thank you, wendell. even with the last-minute surge in signups, problems could still lie ahead for this law. that could have a huge impact on midterm debates. >>> a former top intelligence official striking a harsher tone on nsa leaker edward snowden now calling him a traitor. former nsa and cia head michael hayden now claims snowden's revelations have been the most serious leak of american secrets ever. molly hanenberg live in washington with more on that. hi, molly. >> hi, jamie. in part because snowden keeps disclosing more and more information to more and more countries, or at least trying to do that. general hayden, as you said used to lead the nsa and cia has said in the past that u.s. citizens who sold our country's secrets used to defect to moscow and that was really it. but the snowden case he says seems to be different. >> in the past two weeks in op

wendell, what did this report reveal?reporter: well, bill, a source says the inspector general's report reviewed five years of internal investigations and interviewed hundreds of secret service personnel. found no evidence of widespread misconduct, no evidence of an environment that should foster security concerns. of course the investigation as you say followed the incident a couple of days before the president's visit to colombia last year in which a number of secret service agents and military personnel were accused of soliciting prostitutes after one woman caused an uproar when an agent apparently refused to pay. six agents resigned or retired. four had their security clearances revoked after that incident. the report cites more than 800 cases of misconduct over the past nine years. a couple hundred of those resulted in agency suspending security clearance and 10% involved sexual misconduct the report said could become a security concern. bill? bill: what happens now? what sort of reaction from congress on this one? >

but we begin with wendell goler and why he might do it. >> good evening. the report recommends 46 changes which he accepts next month. and while his aides tell you, the poll numbers are not a factor, he is being supported by a number of political supporters. the president was told the nsa threatened the country's dominance of the technology department, there was a review to mr. president obama. >> make sure we are gathering intelligence in a way that serves our security needs in a focus way and not just because we can because we have the capacity to do so. >> jay carney denies the report's release was prompted by tuesday's meeting and denies edward snowden's nsa releaks triggers the queue. but he said this is heading the country in a way that will make it less secure. >> i think we are risking the nation. >> they are ending the nsa storage record for five years and asking the companies to build back doors into the software so the government can access encrypted communications. cisco's loss last month was blamed in parts on the nsa leaks and the company was

is that our entire first amendment tradition started out as a ofcendent of -- as a dissent oliver wendell holmes and louis brandeis over what the first amendment all about. not every dissent will be like that. maybe one dissent in your entire life will be like that. if you are lucky. i think there are dissents were you are saying, this is the wrong road. they're going to be other cases that will involve other issues. i'm telling you why this is the wrong approach to this entire line of cases. in terms of -- president -- precedent is really important to the court. usually, you need a lot more precedent to overrule a case. if you could overrule a case every time you thought it was wrong, there would not be that much to precedent. it is important to a functioning legal system. you usually need other things. it is unworkable or the legs have been cut out from under it. it is inconsistent with a whole pack of our other precedents. it is rare that justices or a court will say just, we got it wrong and we are overturning it. dissentedhat you have in a case does not mean that you would reverse th

suppose a plausible alternative had been present not wendell willkie who was the moderate internationalist who ran against roosevelt in 1940 but suppose the republicans had nominated charles lindbergh, who was a great aviation hero who was very isolationist and quite sympathetic to germany. if you had a president lindbergh instead of a president roosevelt i think history would have turned out quite differently. i doubt that it would have made preparations that roosevelt made a and b i doubt that after japan attacked the united states that he would have

senior white house affairs wendell goler is traveling with the president in hawaii and joins us live from honolulu and what is the white house reaction tonight? >> reporter: well i think it is clear this is very complex, not simple. officials traveling with the president won't comment publicly but they say they don't have any issues with "the new york times" report. remember the benghazi attack occurred less than two months before the election. he and then secretary of state hillary clinton were protecting themselves from the suggestion they weren't tough enough on al qaeda or vigilant enough to defend against the group but the times found that some anti-gadhafi leaders were just as anti-american and they boasted about it. and the experience of armed libyan rebels still controlling parts of the country helped to explain the president's relukt aps to arm syrian rebels. the film seems to have played a role in the attack even if it didn't grow out of attention to the film. >> we know what the article said and we heard from adam housley and other correspondents we have counter informatio
