2012. And House Republicans claim that she has already waived her fifth amendment right. She declared her fifth amendment right and expressed her view is an waived her right to the fifth amendment. Congressman saying that she she cannot pick and choose when to speak the truth. Conservatives were targeted, that is clear. Lois lerner had things to answer and she only answers the part that she wants to avoid the Justice Department and not before the u. S. Congress. Also awaiting the results, a resolution calling for eric holder to continue the irs timing scandal investigation and we will have that result for you when it takes place. The pentagon tonight is sending assistance to nigeria, part of the effort to find 300 girls that were kidnapped last month. Fox news correspondent Jennifer Griffin has our report. Three weeks after being kidnapped from their boardings schools, many of the 276 also party been sold into slavery. Some in chad for as little as 12 each. President obama has confirmed a small u. S. Team is on the way to help the nigerians find those and still be rest here. We already sent in a team and they have accepted our help. We hope to provide these girls are help. Reporter nigeria slot government has done little to combat the growing conflict, but it has intensified attacks on christians, killing today many people, burning their homes and those who attempted to escape the fires. Western influence is important. Young people are grabbed at an early stage and proffered a little bit of money. There might have been been good. Reporter although u. S. Team is headed to nigeria, the pentagon made clear this is a small unarmed team only to advise and assist with logistics and communications and that the u. S. Is not considering any military operations to rescue the girls. But at an Emotional Press Conference in washington dc, female members of the Congressional Black Caucus called for military action. Two go after this. Lets kill the cancer and drag out this bioperson who i just cant hold up often enough. This is in it and this is slavery. But there should be a positive use of drones. Until now, the Nigerian Government has been reluctant to accept u. S. Help. The group became more violent after traveling to somalia for terror training for another Al Qaeda Linked group. Since then they have killed more than 4500 people, displaces displacing half a million americans. And new developments tonight with the benghazi developments. Lou John John Boehner claimed a investigation will not be a sideshow but it search for the truth. They have not told the truth about the irs or benghazi or fast and furious. If they are not willing to tell the truth, they must not have a very pretty story. Lou Catherine Herridge has the latest now. They expect to select the Committee Members by friday. After 20 months they are taking the investigation to the next level. Mattresses and investigation that is very serious. We all went to the next administration to do our job. Reporter the resolution also 12 members. The split on that committee is five republicans and five democrats. They debated the resolution which we expect will go to the house floor as early as tomorrow with republicans named that the Judicial Watch forced the release of new documents. This includes the deliberate attempt to suppress that sharing of information is particularly unsettling and serves as the trigger point for the establishment of the select committee. For that, mr. Chair, i think you can conclude that we are not in agreement. Reporter they are debating on whether to boycott the process altogether. The leadership is also telling fox news that they may want to take them to the select committee room. Lou thank you so much. Breaking news, the house of representatives has voted to hold lois lerner in contempt of congress. She refused to operate and coop. The vote, six democrats voted along with the entire republican membership. And another Obama Administration , the House Oversight looking at the broken agency, saying that they are a rogue agency. For years, top officials have tried to conceal ramjet employee misconduct. A clearly frustrated House Oversight committee chairman, darrell issa, asked officials how an epa a employee could sped up to six hours a day looking at pornography at taxpayer expense had not been fired. Quite rightly, how much would it take for them to lose their job . Lou in another case, another employee who is allowed to work from home produced no work over the last five years, even though she was paid about 600,000 and that period of time. Coming up next, more on the lois lerner content of congress vote. We will be talking with a congressman coming up next. Up. A short word thats a tall order. Up your game. Up the ante.

Stay one our next guest just voted to find lois lerner in contempt of congress. Including her refusal to meet legal obligations with no other choice. Joining us now is a member of the House Oversight and government reform committee. It is good to have you with us, congressman. The vote is decisive and has story. What are your thoughts on where the house goes from here . Now we wait to see what the courts will do. We need to hear from lois lerner to get to the bottom of this investigation. Lou as we have watched this proceeding, the first u. S. Attorney general to be held in contempt of congress, but where do we stand with that contempt proceeding and will it have any outcome and will the truth be produced by this administration . We certainly hope so and right now that is why we are asking for a special prosecutor and so we think that it is important to get to the truth and we are coming from an Administrative Administration that is outraged over this and then says there is not a smidgen of corruption. We have some that say there will be no criminal charges in this case. So im not sure that the American People have much confidence. And that the attorney general has also not been forthcoming. In the scope of the scandal, i mean, the judicial lawsuit against the irs represents 41 organizations in 41 states. What is that precede and how does this find against this being helpful in that regard . There are people that need answers. Fundamental principles are at risk here. There are people who have withheld their ability to speak freely in a president ial election, possibly effective and the outcome of the election, its imperative that we get to the bottom of this and restore the faith in our election system. And i think that without a doubt there is corruption here that was admitted even by the Inspector General assigned to this investigation. They said these groups were improperly targeted and conservative groups. But the liberal groups were not subjected to the same scrutiny and delays. The one it actually goes to the heart of the charge in the scandal. The irans was targeting. Lou they have targeted both liberal groups and so that was a misrepresentation. Lois lerner knows that she has more to say. But she came in and professor in offense and did nothing wrong. She made a statement of fact. And we uncover email showing she was trying to divert these cases from the very people that she initially blamed them on. We brought these people into the hearing and they said they felt they had been hit with a nuclear bomb when lois lerner threw them under the bus. We know that there testimony implicated them, so the reason we are having to go to the extent of it she needs to talk to us. So the investigation stops and i think that we all know that it goes higher up and we need to get that to those facts. Lou tomorrow the special Committee Vote is a foregone conclusion and what will be the effect . Well, benghazi is another incidence where the American People have confidence that has been shaken in their federal government and Administrative Office to be specific. So here we have a case where this Youtube Video story was propagated and we see jay carney dance around on tv and like this as their lie and theyre going to stick with it no matter how silly they look. Most of america knows for a fact that this was not the case, yet they choose to stick with a story that shakes the credibility of the executive branch. We havent seen anything like this since watergate. The timing is almost more as well. The president is acting like he has nothing to do with it, its a phony scandal moved or that the bottom line is that the credibility of the oval office is at stake in benghazi is a perfect representation of that. Lou congressman, we appreciate it. Time for a look at last nights online poll results. We asked after president obama met with meteorologist. Would you describe it as a meeting of the minds or a meeting with no meaning . 93 said it was a meeting with no meaning at all. Be sure to vote on our poll tonight.

Twentysix democrat chose to bow at the entire republican membership. This will come in just moments after the house voted in favor of a contempt citation against former irs official lois lerner, becoming the Second Administration official to be so cited. And breaking news, Eric Shinseki says he will not step down following allegations that veterans died while waiting for treatment. My next guest has called for an his resignation and two other va officials. Joining me now is the National Commander of the american legion, the largest Veterans Organization. Thank you for being with us in calling for the resignation of the secretary. What move made you take that decision . We have seen a large amount of issues that come worth since 2011. It just seems like lately things have gotten worse with in the va system. Weve had issues in georgia and mississippi and elsewhere. As well as phoenix, arizona where they had hidden list of appointments that are made. So we thought it was essential at this time that we step forward in the nations largest Veterans Organization and ask for resignation due to poor oversight and failed leadership. Lou as the commander of the american legion, you guys are awfully careful about who you engage politically and we support as veterans. You also have a number of people, including senator john mccain and the veterans of foreign wars and his agents not joining in the fall for his resignation. What is your response to those who are veterans who dont support other Veterans Organizations. Well, i dont think they realize the magnitude. We have a system for the last two years and we go to hospitals around the country and we do town Hall Meetings with veterans, we do reviews within the hospitals. And we see first hand what goes on in those hospitals. We talked to the patients and their caregivers and administrators. And i think what really is the whole gist of this is that when you have people that fail at their job and failed grossly, that they are not punished or fired, that they are getting sterling reviews and bonuses and promotions. It just does not equate. When you talk about veterans were 23 veterans losing their lives due to neglect, one death is tragic. But we have preventable deaths that are unforgettable and they covered up and that is unforgettable and unforgivable. Are you also disappointed, that seems to be whats going on in washington dc. Are you disappointed at the oversight provided by the house and the Senate Armed Forces committee and the Veterans Affairs committee . What are your thoughts about the oversight that has been brought to bear . I dont have issues. Ive been in hearings where congress, where they ask and have been asking for months for records and Different Things and they are being stonewalled. As they talk to, he just did not give them the answers are what he thought they were going to bring with them in front of them during the testimony. So i feel their frustration also and i really do believe once the ig comes out that there will be more investigations and we heard today where it appears that phoenix is not the only state where the only area that had these dualist and it has come out in austin and parts of san antonio. And i think there will be more coming forward. Lou we thank you for being with us. The National Commander of the american legion. Thank you so much. Thank you for having me. Lou president obama set to arrive in los angeles within a matter of moments. He will be there for a twoday visit and he will attend two fundraisers speaking at a gala for stephen snowbirds holocaust history organization. Including political fundraisers since taking office. Very reasonable. And a father arrested after he challenged what he thought was improper and raunchy reading material for his 14yearold daughter. Here he is at the school board meeting. And here is what happened next. It is absurd. Would you please be respectful of the other people. You put this book out [inaudible] 40 trying to do reign 40 trying to say . [inaudible] lou he talked past the two minute rule and later charged. We will be following up with this story, but we cant but help believe that the School Board Must be proud in the Community Must be proud of those they put in charge of their educational system. And our nations educational system, the inspiration for location of the evening, this is from socrates. Education is the kindling of a flame, not the filling of a vessel. We are coming right back, so stay with us. Monica lewinsky on the next chapter of her life and also trying to write the next chapter of Hillary Clintons life. We will have that next. Then we gave each person a ribbon to show how many years that amount might last. I was trying to, like, pull it a little further. [ woman ] got me to 70 years old. Im going have to rethink this thing. Its hard to imagin how much well need for a retirement that could last 3years or mor so maybe we need to approach things dferently, if we want to be ready for a longer retirement. Lou the intrigue is building. Dick cheney says she believes it was pilloried clinton herself who pushed the vanity fair story on monocle went in. I really wonder if it wasnt an effort to get that story out of the way. Would vanity fair publish anything of Hillary Clinton didnt want it in vanity fair . Lou she revisits the clinton affair, saying yes, my boss took advantage of me, but i will always remain firm on this point, it was a consensual relationship. Any abuse came in the aftermath when i was maybe a built in order to protect his powerful position. And joining us now is the ateam. Our favorite radio talk show host including Compass Media network. The syndicated talkshow host on the Salem Radio Network trade what a great network. They do good work. We on the same station. Im the best leadin that youve ever had. [laughter] lou gave a talk show host an opportunity and they will talk. [laughter] lets start with Monica Lewinsky, which seems to be one of the most important stories of the day. Do you think it was inoculation on the part of the clintons to arrange the story in vanity fair . Youd think that the greedy wife wouldve bought this revisit you would think that the aggrieved wife would not want this ugly story to rear its head. But if she is going to be a nominee for president , maybe she wants to say this piece, go to vanity fair, and i will say no more. Lou and perhaps it will be a barrage. What do you think . Well, i will tell you that i rank dick cheney has maybe gone on to something here. But i will tell you that my reaction to this story was oh, my gosh, not another Monica Lewinsky and bill clinton story again. But i will tell you there have been many commentators across the country today that have been beating the daylights out of Monica Lewinsky as a whiner and loser and shut up and go home and bill clinton sort of gets a pass. So what is that about . Enact it is roughly about 16 years of history, which is consistent. So what is this . It looked like it was in many places a well organized and coordinated attack of the vanity fair article. Well, of course, she wants to launch a book and make some money and Hillary Clinton wants to get the ring out of the way as quickly as possible. Dont forget that shes a lawyer and if you have any defense lawyer out there and you know theres something ugly in your case, you want to get it out in front early, get it dealt with on your terms. So i think its a solid one. She was also said to be the architect of trying to rehabilitate her husband. That was all her. Lou i have to say that it was a brilliant strategy would work. Turning now to lois lerner becoming the second person in this administration to be knighted or contempt of congress. Will it have any effect enact. Everyday we get story about a scandal surrounding the Obama Administration. The irs story is maddening. Its frustrating that the headline today with hillary isnt about benghazi but lois lerner. Where theres smoke, theres fire. It is an egregious story, an overzealous government and our worst fears as americans. Its about them thing is not going to go away and we will be fireworks there. [talking over each other] im not sure if youre going to learn a thing about her. They are going to stonewall and stonewalling keep on doing what they have been doing. And i think the only benefit to all of this is that it will run through the summer when they are on recess. Brought back during the 2014 election and it will hurt the democrats. You have to take note of the fact that while were all talking about it, you have been talking about it on the radio, the means he media has now decided that the irs story is old and theyve done minutes on it. Media research had them at 14 total minutes between all of the different networks. The story is the pushed to the back burner. Lois lerner is contempt of Congress Citation will bring it back up in the moment. But i think the rest of us just want to ignore this. I think you are right. I think its fair to say the National Liberal media has moved from compliant from the early days of the president ial campaign in 2007 and 2008 to now been complicit. Absolutely. Always have to have the last word. And a reminder to vote in our poll tonight. The House Committee on benghazi be more effective without democrats participating . Vote at loudobbs. Com or send us a tweet at lou dobbs news. Up next janet yellen upbeat on the economy. And art laffer will be with us next to provide some measure of the federal reserve. Stay with us. T. T.

But with less ergy, moodiness, oui had to do something. Eal. I saw mdoctor. A blood test showed it was low testosterone, not age.

Ask your doctor about axiron. agent ill walk you guys through every step. There are a lot of buyers for a house like yours. husband thats good to know. Lou now we have our word of the evening and our government increasingly difficult to define what is there. It is easily understood to be quite different from what it once was. A word of this evening is a government in which those seek personal gain at the expense of those they govern, characterized by a graft, greed, and corruption. Kleptocracy. Perhaps that helps describe and define the government. And on wall street today, the dow jonernment. And on wall street today, the dow jones up 10 points, the nasdaq down 13 points. Volume on the big boards picking up to 3. 6 billion shares. Financials and utilities, the best. Here today, stocks barely budged on the beginning of the year. Crude oil is up more than a dollar today, idling about 100 per barrel. Gold down, closing 1288 per ounce. In the tenyear dropping to 2. 59 . Yahoo lost more than 6 , some investors decided that his side had argued been realized in the price and others day that their ipo paperwork will hit the lower end of analysts expectations. And here is art laffer, former member of Ronald ReagansAdvisory Board and author of the New York Times bestseller into the nature and causes of welfare states. And it is so great to have you here with us on the show. Thank you very much. Lou you are a bigtime economists, select start with you in the media. And lets start with people leaving one element of Economic Growth out of the discussion. We have to have population growth we traditionally have had for a prosperous Free Enterprise economy. Were not getting that here, were not getting it globally. This will be the impact in your judgment . Obviously people dont want to have babies when they think the world looks ugly. It happened in the Great Depression and they are just very worried about the future and theyve refer to postpone having kids or not have them at all. So that is what you are seeing now. They are very reasonable. The the economy is not good and it hasnt been good for a long time. And its not just obama. But theres no recovery coming. And its pretty sad that that is the way we are leaving our world or the future. I have 11 grandchildren and my first greatgrandson. And i would love to live in and leave a much other work for them, but im afraid thats not the case. The world is shifting tremendously. Household creation in this country is much lower than necessary in the Housing Market. And it is fundamental. After all the discussion about Interest Rate and every other element in this industry. People are focusing on that. Without housing there is no recovery, as you know. And we have had this before the great recession, 2006, the Housing Market took a nosedive long before this and we have just been sitting there and sitting there with no real housing recovery at all, all of these Interest Rate committee havent worked or boosted the economy and this has just not proceeded. But after the november election, then after the elections in 2016, its all been reversed. When we get good policies in washington we will see the economy take off like a jack rabbit. That Housing Market is going to go crazy. It will be one of the biggest booms of all time. Lou i do not accept an Economic Forecast without a guarantee that you are probably right to do that. But i will guarantee one pennies worth. [laughter] i appreciate it and the optimism as i think all of us do. The brookings institution, however, reports that businesses for the first time in this country are being destroyed by the competitive marketplace faster than they are being created and that is the most chilling statement that i have seen in a long time on the economy. Yes, and that stands with odds and everything that america stands for. We are the entrepreneur spirit of freedom. Do what you want to make your own way in life. To be able to pursue your own happiness. And thats just not happening in this country due to economic policies and because of the tax rate and excessive government spending, paying people not to work, all of the welfare spending, the bad monetary policy. Its killing all of this entrepreneurial spell it transparent. And its sad, but again, its going to reverse once we hit a low rate flat tax free trade and regulations, this is going to go crazy because we have so much low hanging fruit and you will see Immediate Response is just the way they were when we came into office in 1981. It was a nobrainer to get that. I think a lot of people are going crazy with what their art of putting up what. And those folks serving us in washington or outright crazy. Always great to have your insight embers active and your optimism. And i love seeing your book. Im going to go out and get a copy. Lou you dont need just one copy. [laughter] lou thank you so much great its my pleasure. Be sure to listen to my financial 43 times a day coasttocoast on this day on Radio Network for all of the days he gives market and business news. Up next my commentary on marco rubio and ted cruz.

Whats your policy . Lou now a few words on the tea party senators. Its unclear which were all of them will be running for the gop residential nomination. But they all seem to want to support it in 2016. Senator rand paul, marco rubio, and ted cruz, all agree at the forefront of the tea party. But after yesterdays primary result, its not clear that there is much to front. Not large, not well organized and certainly not well led. And marco rubio is in turn has made three endorsements in arkansas, colorado and iowa. His endorsement will be tested america to primaries in nebraska next week and next month in oklahoma. If they are endorsing candidates this primary season in hopes of raising their profile for 2016, then they better get it right because they have plenty of opposition forming against them in the republican party. Here is senator Chuck Grassley saying that im not saying people like rand paul and marco rubio think that they shouldnt be president , im just laying that i love that part, dont you . Im just saying that i want to elect somebody and everyone is so antiwashington these days it might be better to have somebody outside washington. That is quite remarkable when Tea Party Candidates are considered insiders, and they are. Clearly the call among many in the gop is to have achievement credentials. With the gop internal battle lines already forming, we wonder if theres any real semblance of the tea party and whether it will have any significant influence on the candidates these of this and the outcome of the president ial election that is still a year and a half its never too early to worry. And time for a few of your comments now. We have a surprise for your emails, tweets and facebook post, we you will receive a copy of my thriller, my first fiction work called border war. I cowrote with a former dea agent who is now a special agent of the Florida State department of law enforcement.

And on the select committee, it wont mean a thing unless republicans when the midterms and have this control.
