same thing with the white house. maybe never brought back out. 'm assured that it's been kept safe and is still in fine shape, but it's never been rehung in the house. [inaudible] >> no, it wouldn't. disagree the time to put it back. you know, given the thickness of the beams, they could put more than one up there now. you know, that chandelier was for many keynote to renovation, which is significant because the kim who is suing the decorating at the time, you know, he had a neoclassical aesthetic, which is so happen to agree with what winslow had in mind in 1948 and 1949 because the american georgian. if you will also has a strong affinity for neoclassicism. but that might've translated to say a cornice or a column. that chandelier is way over the top. i wish i had found none and somebody said this is live for this top tier they can't put this back in. obviously they thought it was too much. >> in your reason search, do you need to access the white house today are at the south permission to access the white house click >> great question. if you w

obama's white house is a gated community. can you blame the white house or the coverup? you can, but the media won't care, because they covered up the cover up. they are so good at concealing they could put rev lon out of business. let's go around the horn. i know the white house is saying this is stuff we knew all along and we were just going by the information we knew, but dana what do you make of this bomb shell? >> all of us are going to have to wait in the reports in the morning when serious journalists are able -- >> how dare you? >> so they can pull together the entire timeline because it wasn't just a suggestion there's not a big deal, they are actually demonstratable evidence of contradictions that the white house is saying itself in months before. one in particular is the suggestion that ben rhodes came up with this on his own and then he wasn't even talking about benghazi but later in the email it's repeated and that subject line, benghazi, so i don't know if they think that we're really that stupid. i guess they do. and you do have to wonder where is the whit

to access the white house? >> that's a great question. if you want to tour the white house these days, you can pay a lot of money to go on a tour or write to your congressperson, and i wrote to my congressperson, but i couldn't arrange a time that was actually convenient and reasonable because i have a job. then i realized that in some ways, it really was not all that important for me to go. i say that for two reasons, actually, three. one, my folks took me when i was little. i remember it. two, they only take you to the old ground floor, and then they take you to the state floor, and naturally, as i say to everybody, the two most interesting spaces in any house in the basement and attic, two places where they were not going to take me, and so i thought, well, i'm not going to see the thing i'm curious, and i will not get to see the shelter, i thought, well, you know, maybe i don't need to, and, finally, it's important to remember that with every first family in there, even though they tend to leave the state f

than any other white house. that doesn't mean it's perfectly transparent. it also creates headaches for us. and ridiculous stories on fox news. >> this coming just days after "new york times" executive editor jill abrahamson hit the administration writing, this is the most secretive white house that at least as a journalist i have ever dealt with. and the "associated press" director of photograph si says mr. obama's administration is in critical hypocritical defiance of the principles of openness and transparency -- at the expense of independent journalistic access. until the white house revisits its draconian restrictions on assess to the president, information savvy citizens, too, would be wise to treat those handout photos for what they are, propaganda. stephen, what do you make of these new claims by jay carney that this administration is the most transparent ever and those lies that you're hearing on fox news? >> take the specific example he gave of the secret service records. he's absolutely correct. they

at center of the developments, a incriminateing e-mail written by white house staffer ben rhodes white house constructing what was a act washed defense of their -- awkward defense of their words and actions in days following benghazi attack, white house claims there were two sets of talking points giveen to susan rice before she went on 5 sunday talk shows, and famously lead to the -- lied to the nation about what happened in benghazi, new white house ex plan nation comes a day after a freedom of information request by judicial watch produced that incriminateing e-mail. e-mail udateed september 14, with subject line reading, prep call with susan. states goal for her national tv appearances of quote, to underscore that these protests are rooted in an internet video and not a broader failure of policy. press secretary jay carney today, struggled to attempt to persuade the white house press core this e-mail, dateed 3 days after the terrorist attack, was not even about benghazi. >> this is not about benghazi, it was about overall situation in the region, the muslim world, you saw protests

a fiery white house briefing. the white house taking aim at documents that appear to show that they could have been involved in preparing the infamous talking points on benghazi. white house press secretary jay carney saying a newly uncovered e-mail written by white house deputy strategic communications adviser ben rhodes was not about benghazi. >> the e-mail and the talking points were not about benghazi. they were about the general situation in the muslim world. it was specifically not about benghazi. it was about the overall situation in the region, the muslim world, where you saw protests outside of embassy facilities across the region, including in cairo and other cities. let me read to you -- this is interesting in particular. fox news sunday's promo for that appearance begins, anti-u.s. protests are spreading across the arab world. >> bret baier anchors "special report." all of this just breaking in the last couple of moments. jay carney has a new strategy here. first of all, he's discounting this e-mail fr

i worked at the white house. i got paid the same as my male counterparts and i would have expected nothing less but i know that a lot of women and men fought for me to have that right leading up to now. >> i think the tweet of the day goes to our ed henry. love all these guys but note six of the seven news organizations, eric, sitting in the front row were men but white house sent out a man to answer these questions, which is pretty good. >> so poor major garrett is going to be fired for calling out the white house. major garrett pointed out 88,000 versus 76,000 so men at the white house are paid more and women are paid 88 cents on the dollar. when president obama was senator obama, last year, 2008, he paid his men 57,000per year, the women 70% of that, 45,000 ballpark or show. of all the jobs president obama claims to have created since he started, only 38.5% are women. so 61.5% have gone to men. last month, the labor statistics came out, the unemployment rate, 180,000 women lost their jobs last month alone. ven

the white house would say so. they bristled at some of the coverage from the media about the fact that it was not because of the trade deal. that said, there were expectations they would be able to advance this trade deal, particularly in japan even up till the last minute when they're waiting for the press conference between the president and prime minister abe. they were hoping to have language to show specific progress, but they have struggled to make progress on that in asia. it is something that is very important to this white house. they think it would be good for the economy in the united states and in these countries he is visiting, and for the world economy. another thing, shane might be able to talk about this more. they arehe push that using internationally, it also faces some significant resistance in the united states, and not where you might think. coming from democrats in the congress. guest: it was one of the interesting things this year, after the state of the union, the president talked about mov

is the white house delegate all about benghazi or is the white house hiding something?he 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 fo

republicans tried to tie the white house to this. there was zero evidence. >> let me interrupt and ask -- >> there is zero evidence. >> it's a fair question. congressman, do you have any evidence after a year of investigation that any official higher up in the irs, higher up in the treasury department or in the white house directed low he is lerner to do what she allegedly did? >> chris, the problem is we have been trying to get -- follow these facts wherever they go and we've been stonewalled with slow production of documents. clearly, we've been obstructed by lois lerner at every level. she misled the inspector general for tax investigation and she pleaded the fifth in front of the committees -- one of the committees twice. we have been not getting the documents that we need to really fully evaluate this so we can follow the facts from the ground up and see where they lead. >> congressman, let me interrupt you, too, if i may. because a lot of people -- congressman levin, let me ask my question. a lot of people, including some repub

en i think the white house feels this is over, done, and not an issue for them anymore. >> and the white house is wrong, of course. it may prevail in the press but it got to the middle of it, at best. not the bottom. possibly the middle, but the question is did it really end with lois learner, is she the one who thought all of this up? there was a lot of evidence there was interaction with the white house. it simply hasn't been looked at. the attorney general has zero interest in doing it. you can be sure that his investigation will yield nothing and unless she is given immunity, i think this thing will die. it will be a textbook case of stone walling and inattentive press, you can get away with a major scandal. >> i want to point out just how much there is tension between administration and republicans open the hill. a little bit interchange day, he eric holder and republican congressman from texas, gohmert got into it. >> i realize that contempt is not a big deal to our attorney general, but it is important that we have proper oversight. >> you don't want to go there. you don't want to

>> the white house, denis mcdonough. i was asked to explain the consistency between the talking points -- about the attack evolving from a protest. i was asked to talk about the consistency between the talking points unclassified analysis, that is why i was asked to go and that is what i did. >> the main question you are asked about the fbi, you got wrong. information you volunteer, you got wrong. >> yes. >> two months after the talking points you go up there with susan rice to brief the senators and the key facts you were wrong. >> i was asked a question, who took al qaeda out of the talking points? the got it wrong and said fbi when the cia was the one to take it out of the talking points. timei was thinking at the was about another change that the fbi had asked for. the fbi made another change because it did not want to be too definitive about who conducted the attack. i got it mixed up. i corrected the record as soon as i found out, within several -- fbihey call the fbi and the protested vigorously. >> nobody from th

now we see that came from the white house, right? >> john, no. you are wrong.that document, that document that we're talking about today was about the overall environment in the muslim world. >> why were you holding back this information? why was this email not turn over to the congress, why was it not released when you released all the other emails? this is directly relevant? why did you hold it back. why did it take a court case to release this -- >> john, i can say this again and again and i know you can keep asking again and again, this document was not about benghazi. >> are you essentially saying that -- you are suggesting that she got confused? >> no, i'm -- >> i don't want the answer that was supposed to be for the general situation and answer and use that answer and applied it to the specific -- >> not at all. i'm saying she was prepared as were members of congress based on what the ic produced to talk about benghazi, has as been discussed and as more information became available we would provide it based on the best informing we have. >>> jay carney a

we aggressively are looking at ways to have women move up in the white house, and we're very proud ofur track record, but you wouldn't have any idea about the details behind those numbers were it not for pay transparency. >> vallerie jarrett at the whit house, valerie, thank you very much for joining us. >>> could ukraine be on the brink of a civil war? fareed zakaria joins me. i proc >>> let's get back to ukraine now. there was fighting today on the floor of the parliament in the capital of ukraine kiev. lawmakers clashed while discussing a new law outlining separatist groups. russia has warned that any military move by the ukrainian government could spark a. and joining us now, fareed zakaria, the host of "gps." thanks very much for coming in. russia's foreign policy now using words like civil war when talking about the possible outcome in eastern ukraine. so what's going on right now? are the russians looking for an excuse to move in? >> it certainly looks like they're looking for an excuse to further destabilize ukraine so they can reassert their domination or their relationship w

they'll have dan pfeiffer or valley jarrett from the white house.ou know what the answer i get is, they don't trust those people to get the message out. they don't have a clear line of talk even with them. what is the problem of cabinet government today under this administration? they seem to have when they don't trust people, they don't connect with them, they do it themselves. i don't think staff people should be on national television every sunday. i think people are looking for principles, people approved by the united states senate, and they're not getting them for some reason. >> it's always been the case of this administration. there was a period of time around after the first two years or right after the midterm loss in 2010, i did a long story in new york magazine where i went around and asked at various cabinet departments how many times secretaries had spoke tune president obama in the first two years. many had no more than one or two conversations with the president in the first two years. it's not changed. his attitude, the president's

ed henry live at the white house for us. ed, critics jumped on the president's push for equal pay today saying the white house doesn't pay women the same as men. what did you find out? >> reporter: it's interesting. it's the second day in a row the white house faced tough questions about this study suggesting that women make about 88 cents on the dollar against male salaries here at the white house. jay carney has pushed back by saying, you're looking at the median, that includes people on the lower end of the scale. but people at the medium and higher levels make the same amount of money for the same amount of work that a man would do. but it was turned around on jay carney today on the notion that, look, the president seeps citing this statistic, he did it again today, that there are studies showing that women by and large only make 77 cents on the dollar that a man makes.

could the white house envisioned .10 level.nd could the white house envisioned a compromise? >> it is clear he is going forward with $10.10. see is the number you states like connecticut passed, that you see some employers to organize their efforts around. .hat is our focus here is >> minimum wage has been such a heavy focus. why isn't this something he pushed in the first term when he had the majority that could have passed it? >> the minimum wage was raised 2009, 2010.er 2008, i may be off by a year. it was going up. focused on turning the economy around. the economy was hemorrhaging jobs in the beginning of 2009 and getting that recovery back on track. now the recovery is proceeding well. we are not all the way there. we're getting closer. his focus has been even more on wages and income. he talked about minimum wage. he pushed the issue forward last year. he has intensified it this year. it is an effort to persuade congress, state, localities, employers and the country's largest employer is doing that with the contractors. iteven in those years when was going up, the medi

at the white house. white house, saturday,before msy show. they were resolved in the favor of the white house. what's odd here is that the false narrative that was given on sunday morning, on the sunday morning shows, somehow it strangely added up with the view of the white house six weeks before the presidential election that al qaeda was nearly defeated and the global war on terror was over. everyone knows that wasn't true. that al qaeda wasn't defeated. everybody on this committee, both sides knows that the global war on terror was not or. that was the narrative of the white house and the run-up to the presidential election. how weird that that ultimately was reflected in the talking points against all knowledge from people on the ground and knowledge that this committee had. that's why we're upset. because the american people from my perspective, were intentionally mislead by this administration as to what happened in benghazi. >> chairman, can i respond? i would make two point, ma'am. number one, the narrative that the attack evolved spo

the white house says you have to consider the kind of jobs there are at the white house. critics say he is not doing when he lashes out at the private sector. later this week the senate will consider its own pay equity bill that is not expected to pass. >> it is the phrase do as i say not as i do that comes to mind. doug luzader thank you. >> a detroit man brutally mobbed a man is talking about what happened. joseph utash says his father steve was trying to help a 10-year-old boy who he spently hit when the boy ran in front of his truck. >> they were all out there playing with cars. i watched the last kid in a row touch the van, the kid is sticking his foot out in a road as soon as the car goes by he sticks his foot back on the curb. >> two teens are behind bars for the attack. police expect more arrests to be made. you will hear more from the family today on "fox & friends." joseph and sister mandy will join us at 8:15 eastern. >> the mysterious baby girl who had to be rescued 1,000 miles off of the gulf of mexico. they are defending their position to travel around the w

many doctors agree. >> a white house gate crasher has been making frequent appearances lately.ot a fox reporter. a red fox began making himself at home on the white house lawn in the fall around the type of the -- around the time workers were furloughed. president obama saw him too taking a stroll down the colonade. attempts to catch him have been unsuccessful. why he can't stay? they cite a no overnight guests policy. >>> today is good friday, when christians remember the day they believe jesus was crustified. many carried wooden crosses and follow the path jesus walked on his way to death. >>> many people of faith are wondering why on this special weekend president obama still has not filled a very important position in his administration having to do with the defense of faith. correspondent shannon bream explains. >> i look forward to nominating our next ambassador at large for international religious freedom to help lead these efforts. >> that's what proposal -- propelled said in february at the national prayer breakfast. the president nominated susan cook to fill the messa

the deputy chief of staff of operations at the white house. nothing gets done without alyssa being part of it at the white house. she coordinates with secret service, air force one, and more. she is in on strategy. she has become like family. she started working with then senator obama in 2005. next came the campaign. she leaves this may. she will remain engaged as an outside advisor. we talked last week at the old senate office now occupied by sherry brown, the senator from ohio. >> this is it. this is where young senator obama had his four key staffers. >> yes. >> this is the former deputy chief of staff. the press secretary. >> we did ok. >> every time i read a piece about you, it talks about power. tell me what you do. >> what i do? i think the reason people think i have power is i am the person everyone comes to. i have the answer for everything. i think the reason that people think i am so powerful is because they do not know what i do. and that mystery, which i have kept for good reason of the years, intrigues people. >> it gives you po

this is what the white house sent out.these guys, talking about the reporters in the front row, love all these guys, but note that 6 of 7 news organizations in front row sent men to ask press secretary about the problem of gender pay inequity. ed henry tweeted back. white house sent man to podium. ab, where is this going? is this backlash? the white house stepped on its own messaging? >> the fact that hey, they tried to slice at the veracity of the numbers and misconstrue the data is really cheap, but when we find out that they don't have a white house that's getting paid a parity women to men, like the companies they criticize around the country, that's really a failure in terms of a press event i think. this is an issue they are going to push and they have to push, they are doing everything they can to distract from obamacare, a jobless recovery and the general unpopularity of this president that is so hindering the do not believe it's going to help them in the midterm elections. and i do believe that when you look at jo

>> the white house. >> who at the white house? >> dennis. i asked to go to explain one thing only, the consistency between the talking points about the attack evolving from a protest. i was asked to talk about the consistencies of the talking points and classified analysis. that's why i was asked to go. that's what i did. >> reporter: the question you asked, you got it wrong. you volunteered, you got it wrong. >> yes, sir, i got it wrong. >> two months after the talking appointments, went with susan rice to brief senators on what happened, and you were wrong. >> i was asked the question, who took al-qaeda out of the talking points? i got is wrong. i said, the fbi, when, in fact, the cia was the one to take it out of the talking points. what i was thinking at the time was about another change the fbi asked for. the fbi made another change because it did not want to be too definitive about who conducted the attack. i got it mixed up. i corrected the record as soon as i found out, within several -- >> they called the fbi, and the fbi protested

they had control of the house and senate and white house and that is big priority for the white house now. but it was all about moving the affordable care act which barely got to his desk and the president, i think he is tapping into, there are, people are tired of this debate but at the same time it is a raging debate. it will be moving into 2016. democrats who run for president are going to be asked about it and good aspects of the law and as well as its flaws. look for hillary clinton i think to propose, you know, some fixes to it because this, this is the law but at the same time, there have been many changes to this law, some republicans say that the president wasn't allowed to do because he just did it administratively without the consent of congress. jon: senator john barosso of wipe open ming, one ever the long-time opponents of the law and medical doctor, he knows a thing or two about the practice of medicine. here is what he had to say. it is clear the president is focused on coverage instead of care. he either ignoring reports from across the country or isn't hearing them.

had nothing to do with the white house.had to do -- the question had to do with whether there was any corruption, and he basically gave the irs a clean bill of health when the investigation was still going on. you bring up a good point, and i want to bring -- >> that isn't what -- look. >> that was the question that was asked by bill o'reilly at the super bowl. i watched the interview. >> it related back for the administration and whether they were involved in this. there was an effort by the republicans to tie the white house to this there was zero evidence. it's a fair question. let me ask congressman boustany. do you have any evidence after a year of investigation that any official in higher-up in the irs, i higher-up in the treasury department or in the white house directed lois lerner to do what she allegedly did. >> the problem is we've been trying to follow these facts wherever they go, and we've been stonewalled with slow production of documents, and, clearly, we've been obstructed by lois lerner at every level. she

in the white house. i also served in the bush 41 administration. i have had fantastic experiences in all of those. it is hard to pick out a favorite experience. except to say it was an enormous privilege to have a chance to serve. it is very common these days to disparage public service and have people say how awful it is dealing with congress, and so on. we lose sight that public service is a great privilege. that is something that, as chief of staff, andy card reminded the staff almost every day. in fact, he created rumors that andy was on his way out when, in the first month, he said, we cannot all expect to be here beyond today. tomorrow you may be gone, so make use of today. i was constantly battling rumors that andy card was leaving the white house. but he was making a very important point to the white house staff. remember what a privilege it is to be where you are. take advantage of it. remember you are a custodian of the position. the one moment that sticks in my memory for this was january 20,

the white house warning visitors, information you choose to share with the white house directly and via third-party site may be treated as public information. ellison barber is my guest today. i find this fascinating. just yesterday jay carney said this is the most transparent white house ever and taking hits at fox news again. is this what they mean by transparency? >> i spoke with someone earlier and they said they didn't think anything within this policy is that strange. and the white house is saying, this is a law we've had. we're getting rid of the legal jargon and making it clearer for you to understand. but that person also said what they thought would be the most contentious part of this and what the white house is going to receive the most criticism for is the data that goes to the third-party sites which they can't regulate. but they say any information you have that you put on their websites is public information and they're keeping a lot of it through the end of the administration. they've been criticized for not being transparent enough. i think we see them taking an effort
