Rhodes email was released under a freedom of information act request for benghazi documents if as the white house claim its had nothing to do with benghazi, carney at seems looked haunted, and hunted and hounded and refuseed to answer that question. And referred correspondents to the state department, that is a mark of carneys confusion that email originateed in the white house not the state department. You have to ask the state department about how they responded to the requests. You have to ask the state department about their process for stoppeding ting to foyeer requests, you can just read and decide, there is a state department foyer request. Again. The white house the focus was on the talking points around the attack on benghazi. Lou carneys effort at denial and deception coming after the head of intelligence, testified before House Oversight committee, told the committee that everyone on the ground on september 11, knew immediately that terrorists had attacked the the consulate and an ex and benghazi, and a video had nothing to do with that attack, assailants were identified as terbists wit ter terrorists s to al qaeda. The testimony laid bare uncomfortable facts. There was a hostile succession, no demonstration gone awry. Retired Brigadier General, testified that 7 hours into the benghazi assault they knew there was no connection to a protestor a internet video. It was early on in the evening of september 11. Before 3 15 in the morning went. Within hours sources tell fox a target list of assembleed. It was we felt it was an shareal sharia. To secretary of state Hillary Clintons closest aide, including sheryl mills, the ambassador was sold share why wa sharia hasbeen responsible. Mrs. Clinton sent out a press release linking the video to the benghazi violence, mrs. Clinton statement of the out of sink with sync with intelligence it was with the ben rhodes email. Testifying that state department did not respond quickly that night. It is not what they did in that situation, it is what they done do, they did not come forward with stronger requests for action. What was the mood the feeling . To save our people . It was desperation to be able to what. Desperation to begin Situational Awareness and to do something. He was not in the operational al chain of command. Meeting some who would like to distort your testimony, and suggestion tha that you are testifying we could have, should have done a lot more than we did because we had capabilities we did not use lies. This is utilize. This is not my testimony. Thank you, general. We should have done more. And we owe it to the memory of the 4 people that are fallen. House Speaker Boehner statement that john kerry should come to the hill to testify. Lou . Katherine thank you. At the white house. Nothing but silence from president obama. Instead mr. Robe own chose to send jay carney out to try to answer questions from White House Press corps. Carney claims that ben rhodes email had nothing to do with benghazi, while taking another cheap shot at fox news, chief White House Correspondent ed henry in his usual front row seat with the report. Day two of White House Press secretary jay carney under fire, sticking to hist key email from ben rhodes to brief susan rice for sunday talk shows are not about benghazi. The email was about protests round the rejoin. Chargeing that credibility of president obama, and his top aides is on the line. It is not only now the needless and tragic deaths of 4 americans but it is a obvious coverup by the white house. Reporter carney pushed back hard on that charge saying only part of email mentions benghazi was taken from cia talking points, press secretary blamed garagbarrage of questions this k on fox, even though several News Networks pressed carny. No were res restaurant gate. Only investigating it. Only thing is this email is a cut and paste from talking points to your disappointment and your boss disappointment turned out to be produced by the cia. Carneys points is that rodes email is based on nonpartisan analysis, not a effort to shell the president. Sthaoeld the president shel, stressed she was not talking politics the 34e78o downplayed talk of terror. Advising rice to focus on antimuslim video and tell viewers quote that people have come to trust that president obama provides leadership that is steady and states man like. About what turn it over . It seems you would have to ask, state department about their process for responding to foyer question. Run by secretary john kerry and not a rogue agency, officials were respondining to a lawsuit from the conservative Group Judicial watch for benghazi documents that were surplusinaed by subpoenaed by Congressional Republicans and turned over to the white house. They have to stkeurb it, the way to did that is pretend it was not about benghazi. Carney thousands of pages about benghazi were turned over to congress. Boehner said he may drag kerry back for more testimony. To explain why this email was not initially shared.

Saying joining us now, our guest members of House Oversight committee who attended that hearing today, joining us now congressman blake paranthol, and congresswoman cindy loom is. Thank you for joining us, the testimony, disconcerting in that no one asked for help during that entire tragic ordeal. Lou, i wish that chairman mckeeon had been in our hearing and listen to what we heard from Brigadier General retired lovell, he told us he was the institut institute in sy in realtime, the information as they had it coming in to them, they were not getting direction from civilian leadership, people they would normally hear from and receive direction from to respond. I asked him, what would normally be the response . His words were, go, go, go, i asked him why didnt they say go . A result four americans are dead. Lou and still, the question remains, we talk about civilian leadership as you just did. Congressman, we still dont know where hi Hillary Clinton secrety of state was on the this, we dont know where president of United States was, we dont know why no one was as congresswoman reiterated no no one was saying, go, go, to assistance of fellow americans under attack in benghazi. That is the problem, general testified their training is to run to sound of gunfire, we talk about there not being resources, we didnt get resources on the way, we didnt know how long this was going to last. We should have had people, in the air, headed that direct, they could have been recalled, in the event that situation changed. But nobody started. And the question that bothers me the most, if america condition respond to an cant respond to an emergency endangering lives of our diplomats in the world in a matter of hours, there is something wrong, we all the to be ale ought to be able to get there. There. Lou made it clear he would listen dispassionately to what the general had to say and build a record, the record is clear yet we hear from chairman mckeoh, try following same talking points, and if you will, following same strategy as Democrat Members on your committee trying to dismiss want it capacity of the military to have wreaked. What in the world is going on is this committees both led by republicans at work or is there Something Else going on . Blake and i are on oversight government reform. On that committee, we dont have an agenda were following, the testimony, depositions, emails, written words, and the testimony we received live, and todays testimony from brigadier jane general lovell confirmed his written statements, they track with what ben rhodes statement was. In other words while our people who in harms way, and were reporting about the people who were in harms way, were reporting it to washington, d. C. , to the civilian leadership of this country, our civilian leaders were trying to figure out how to spin it for sunday news shows. Lou is there any question in our mind that the assets in italy, near libya, could have been diverted and brought to bear whether day which be jets or be special operations forces, to try at least to help those people who were being attacked by radical islamist terrorists . They didnt even start. Lou i understand, but do we have the want i capacity to do t very much seems to be the question, the tactic, that now your Arm Service Committee chairman. I think we did have resources in place in italy, spain, and germany. And if we didn t, we should have. And one take aways from this, is we need to eva evaluate our abiy to respond to a crisis anywhere in the world on short notice. A lot of people say this is about sticking it to the white house, or Hillary Clinton. No this is investigation, also serves to make sure that men and women who serve in our dip that diplomatic corps is feel seiche, like they have washington d. C. Behind home, when they are out and hostile territory risking their lives for american interests. Lou congressman and congresswoman thank you so much. Thank you, lou. Absolutely.

Metta world peace, a man who had his own brush with nba justice, tells us whether the punishment fits crime next. Lou the nba today talking about next steps in removing sterling as owner of los angeles clippers, a committee of 10 nba team owners talking for First Time Since sterling was baned for life from nba for making racist comments they just issued this statement, committee met Via Conference Call to discuss process for termination of Donald Sterlings ownership, agrees to move forward as expeditiously as possible, and will reconvene next week, twothirds of the 29 owners, are required to vote in favor to force sterling to sell, but stelinsterling said he mas no intention of allowing that sale, joining us now metta world peace. 15 years with the nba, played with lakers. And other teams, a founder of the artest media group, metta great to have you with us, it is, it look looks like sterlingl fight this will turn ugly. Much uglier than anybody thought your thoughts . Well, you know, he mas his own opinions, im sure. He is based it off the fact it was intrudeg privacy, and to record someone in their privacy of their home and comfort. Im sure he thinks that is wrong, on the flip side, the brand of the nba. Global brand, im sure owners and commissioner dont want anybody to think it is a racist league. So both parties have arguments. Lou i think you are right. And there is for example mark cuban, owner of mavericks saying, you know there is a very slippery slope when you take a persons statement, within the walls of their own home, and privacy of their home, and someone else, explodes whatever is said or done there. There. I thought he should have came right out. You know, i thought mr. Sterling should have came right out, once that tape got aired nationaly, and i think he would have gave people more comfort if he would try to get support of their people but not saying nothing to the world, Everyone Wants to hear from him to see what he really thinks if he is sorry, if he does really feel that way, is he willing to change, because black people did not feel that way toward sterling, i didnt hate sterling, barkley dont hate sterling, lil wayne didnt hate stirling the way his comments hated us, you know have you racism in this world, you have to address it. Facetoface, and if is okay to come in contact with spwho someo is racist, someone people dont know why they are raceist half the time, why not have that dielowing, and open it up. Lou dialogue and opening it up. Up. Are offering very wise once count not on only to dontaal sterlint everyone involved including nba, there so much anger, so much of a sense of urgency to simply get this behind everyone. The reality is, that your idea of a dialogue is a very wise piece of council, charles barkley, called sterling a jackass, i kind of think i am with barkley on this one, i think she has behaveed he has behaveed as a jackass. I think it is a good word, not as hateful, it is a good word, jackass because, i think that is what you know what mr. Sterling is. And you know, jackass is change, i believe, i had a lot of problem in my career, suspensions, and a lost over 10 million in nba 8 years ago but i have changeed i came a long way, i am proof add a person, i do not believe i am only person that is improve as a person, i believe all people can do the same. Lou as we watch what looks like it will be a very tough contest between the nba, and sterling, how do you think it will work out . Is there a is there you know, i hear in your council, that really to nba, and to sterling, the suggestion they work things out rather than move forward like this. Is that what you are you suggestion . For me it is more not about the, of the nba business of the nba more about the 57, i person, i rail suggestions that sterling help sim leve himself, and od people he hurt, my daughter heard the come he made about the delicate white girl, and dal cat latino girl, her face was shocked, he could help other people by going out and speaking, between him and the nba, i dont to get involved in that because im still a player, im coming back next year, i am staying out of that battle. Lou we appreciate you being with us, sage counsel, were still at the points where a lot of people what punishment and revenge. And punishment never works we know that. Hate on hate, and things like that it never works, it has never worked in history of america, dialogue is what we should push for not just in basketball, and nba and tpraobl but i football, dialogue, and communication is key in any relationship, i think people should stpart pushing more for that . Metta, it is good to talk with a athlete who has a worldly, and world perspective, that i think is worth paying a lot of attention to, met. Thank you, great. Lou you bet. Story of evening. Senate majority leader harry reid using sterling scandal for his own political purposes. He decided to go after washington redskins. That was convenient. I say to commissioner goodell, he is a good man, but it is time for this good man to act. Remove the hateful term from your leagues srobg abb vocabul. He might be considered something of an expert to hatefulness, we would like to pointout that senator, he first ran for senate in 1986, net worth 1. 8 million which that climbed over 6 million now. Now quotation of the evening, appropriate on this day where Major GeneralRobert Lovell told House Oversight committee that u. S. Government did nothing to help the americans caught in benghazi terrorist attack. He said, we didnt even try to stop terrorists from attacking our consulate in benghazi, we turned, to the nba.

Which Shows Florida voters would choose clinton over the former florida governor, 49 to 41 that is just one poll, well have a lot more polls before 2016, joining us, a team former member. Radio talk show host, monica crawl icrowley and judy miller,e start with the dynasty, brad, this creates a awful conflict for you, there it is, how did you feel about dynastys whether they be clintons or bushes . I think the both families have served u. S. Very well. But i think it is time for new leadership, i served two of the bushes. Go brad. I think the world of jeb bush but i think that america deserves fresh, new faces, and jeb could still be a vital part of a run in 2016, helping the republican get elected, i have one, how about jeb bush as leader of the arent party, coming republican party, powerful. How about jeb bush as education at secretary under a republican president , i agree with brad, and former first lady, barbara bush who said i think weve had enough bushes. She also said later as a mother would he is the best qualified. Jeb is a smart man, in a country 300 million plus people we come up with other names beside bush and clinton. Lou a viewer wrote in, a nation of 300 million, we have it down to a gene pool that could fit in a dixie cup. It would be so easy just take out oil old talking points from before. Lou i think that American People are board with talking bored with talking points on both sides right now. Lets turn to this, benghazi hearing today, in which, general lovell said, we did we were not asked to do i thin a thing,s there anyway you could imagine that is a forgive ineventiality tphre a crisis like that stkwhreu think todays hearing reflected pain he feels, everyone in military feels he was involved. But i think i have so stand with the chairman of the House Arm Services Committee here who interviewed 12 people who said we really not in a position to get anyone there in time to make a difference. There are conflicting reports there were folks to tripoli and europe getting ready to go, they were getting reports of the attack. What general lovell was saying. Lou by the way no one knew at that time how many waves or how long the attack would go. A big outstanding question is, was there a stand down order given, if show, wh so who gave. Lou brad address the same question but also issue of stand down order. Give us your reaction. My reaction is, that a terrorist attack on american personnel, and our consulate in benghazi deserve president ial attention, what we have yet on to do, is what the president did. Where was he . Did he give a stand down order . Was he properly briefed . Was he engaged. We dont know what happened. But one thing for sure, when america is under attack we run to the fire, we muster, we attempt to do something, the fact that nothing was done when we did not know what ultimate outcome would be, it tells you what you need to know, somebody, i believe, it would have to be the president for a decision like this, where was he, what did he do. I have more questions, first why were we not on alert there at that consulate. Lou because it was september 11. And because there had been this little terrorist Group Everyone that was worried about for a year in libya. But after the attack, why werent troops flown in to fly the american flag, to protect the documents that cnn was picking up on the ground, and fbi 3 weeks later. Lou over 3 weeks lateer on the ground. Can we agree that first of all there is no excuse that the first instinct was not by official washington, and the state department in particular, since it was responsibility, their first reaction should have been hell yes get somebody there and now, and then explain to me later why it couldnt be done, no one took even the most elemental step. Two navy seals killed in line of fire took it upon themselves to act because they were getting no back up, this outrageous, where was the commander in chief. And you look to future, where was secretary of state, so many emails evolve around the state department. Lou we have an answer on the record, what difference does it make. Hillary you will hear as we approach november 16. Brad brea break man, you are Brad Blakeman you are a great american, Monica Crawley and judy miller, all americans, brad, somehow i dont think i think, you are in third place in one respect bu but we dont get into that here.

Lou are you surpriseed how strong earnings have been to this points. I was looking for a gain of 1 to 2 , were running 5 to 6 . Small gain predicateed on sales lost in the harsh winter. Lou a see a more optimistic john lonski than last we talked . Marginally, the economy is going to improve but in no means resemble what occurred in prior economic recoveries. Lou where are we in housing, in car sales . Basics of the economy . Car sales grew yeartoyear, i want to add this is the 10th consecutive month in which the yeartoyear increase for imports of greater than yearoveryear gain for u. S. Build models, however, on a monthtomonth basis auto sales fell on a seaso seasonaly adjusd bases that tells me were not going to see the same monthtomonth jump by Consumer Spending we did in march . Are we going to see jobs . We could see quite a few created. In the month of april. But it is uncertain whether they will be quality jobs, i would not be surpriseed they are biassed toward low side in terms of quality, as a result, Income Growth remains sluggish. Lou folks should just stay in the market . As long as profit give every indication of growing and fed will not begin to hike rates until summer of 2015, they might as well.

Lou a few thoughts on many unexplained socalled coincidences in the benghazi scandal, just a coincidence that cbs evening news last night ignoreed very story we chose to lead our broadcast with last night. Is it also a coincidence that white house aide 20 rodes wrote an email 3 days after the terrorist attack was he strongly stating he wanted susan rice to blame a video for what the white house knew to be terrorist attack . Or was rhodes, on out right lie to the American People on 5 sunday talk shows . Is it a coincidence white house since josr. Staffer is david rhf seeks news, and the man pro drafted cia talking points, mike morell, is now working as a analyst for seek cbs news it mue a coincidence that morell is afilliated with beacon global strategys, a Washington Consulting Firm with close ties to former secretary of state Hillary Clinton. Whose name you may have noticeed is hardly mentioned by washington official dom in connection with benghazi terrorist attack. That too must be another in what must have become a very long line of coincidences. Time for a few of your comments.
