0 what i think is notable about the letter is it talks about this february 3, 2009 e-mail from the fec to lois learn, then at the irs. it references back to the preceding july, 2008. some communication that the irs and fec are having. this predates president obama's november 2008 election. does that signal to you that at least it doesn't go as high as the white house? he wasn't even president then. >> it may. what we do know is there is communication going on that's not appropriate. it's about a question that should be totally dealt with in the internal re new service. that's what most concerns us. if it is referencing something before then, lois lerner worked at the federal elections commission before the irs. maybe she goes -- she's concerned about this. but the point is there is coordination. at least what appears to be coordination between two federal agencies. s.e.c., may also be targeting conservative groups. the house oversight committee demanding document thes from the s.e.c., too. ron desantos joins us. good evening, sir. >> good evening. >> i have seen the july 22 letter where you make a demand of the s.e.c., the honorable mary jo white, chairperson, to comply with documents by july 29. i take it that didn't happen. right? >> no. it hasn't happened yet. we do anticipate getting those documents because we are entitled to those documents. you had all these career people in the s.e.c. being asked to push this political speech angle. they were like, look. this is not what we do. go to the fec, go to congress. when activists weren't having success for that they were trying to go through the s.e.c. the s.e.c., mind you, were being tasked with implementing dodd frank which is thousands of pages. yet they were being pushed to put it aside and take up this issue of corporate political donations. it's strange and we think it is part of a broader effort. >> i want you to get to the bottom of it. but as the sec kpcomplied with e letter or not? i take it the answer is no. >> i don't know. to my knowledge they have not complied fully with the letter. i haven't been in washington since friday. i did brief -- i received a briefing today with the staff. it covered the broad issues of all three organizations. >> i suspect -- if i may be so bold to speak for the american people -- as today listen to this they feel gamed a little bit. like congressman jordan trying to get information on the irs. this is going on for months and you are not getting the information. it's bizarre. these are important issues. i don't know what will happen whether you are right or oh wrong. this whole pulling teeth to get information is an incredible waste of time. you ought to get the information if we ask for it. >> o absolutely. we had danny werfe l take 30 days to look at the irs and he said, oh, well, no intentional misconduct. really? this is something that happened over years and years. you had a lengthy i.g. investigation. there has been a lot of push-back from the bureaucracy and from the administration. they are trying to protect their own interests. we have to be dell geiligent. it's like pulling teeth. we do get the run around. we have the subpoena power. it's difficult to enforce that. we have to be diligent and we are going to be diligent. we have patience and the american people deserve the truth. >> i don't think the american people have much patience left. maybe they do. the message these agencies are getting from the president down is that this is, quote, a phony investigation, phony scandal. i don't think they are giving you the respect of the investigation that's due as an oversight of the agency. but you have this old fashioned thing called subpoena. everybody could be here in washington today. you can issue a subpoena and that information would arrive by tomorrow morn iing. if you can put the pedal to the metal you have to use subpoenas. >> lerner hasn't provided information. she waived her fifth amendment right. i would be in favor of calling her back. if she continues to re fuse to answer questions, holding her in contempt of the congress. i think that would be appropriate because of lack of information. >> what takes so long? this has been going on and on and on. why does it go weeks, months? what's up with this? >> when we do the hearings, we secret law says, how it's being secretly implemented and what it means to every person in this room? >> i am very, very worried about what the nsa is doing. >> we are going to find out the nsa was not complying with the law. i don't know about you, but i'm offended by the government knowing the record -- of having access to every person i have called. >> now they have all these embassies closed and they don't know what happened there. >> you haven't seen the end of benghazi or the irs investigation. no question. >> innocent people, if you will are getting slammed bi-partisan politics. >> let me ask you a question -- >> people will be losing their house. >> we heard discontent with what's going on with not taking care of the problems in this country. i think you heard a lot of criticism of the president tonight. you heard criticism of congress. you heard about the issues. people are frustrated. they are seeing an economy not recovering. either seeing a president sitting on the sidelines literally playing golf. little rally fiddling while rome is burning. >> we don't feel boehner represents us effectively. as the voice of the house of representatives i think john boehner could do a better job. >> i want john boehner up there defying this guy saying we are going to impeachment if you don't start obeying the laws. >> listen, we're dying out here because you guys are being nice. this is not a boy scout meeting. >> it's not. you're acting like boy scouts. you have to fight. >> i want to see more defiance. >> we have seen it dozens of times where boehner won't fight, mcconnell won't fight, paul ryan and the debate with joe biden sit the there and took it from him. the american people are putting our hopes on these people to defend us and we get nothing. about what's going on. >> it's a diminishing thing that happened last night. the presidency was diminished. last night the country, talk about being respected or loved. people around the world. this is a small thing that happened last night. made the country look small. made the presidency look small. >> dana, nice to see you. >> thanks for having me. >> a lot of attention on the president's 15 or 20 minutes or half hour of time he spent on "the tonight show." today he was at camp pendleton. but last night gets the attention. do you have the sense that the people you speak to on your radio show are satisfied that his attention is full speed ahead on the american people? >> people aren't satisfied. it was actually smart of him to go on jay leno. then he can say he answered questions without really having to answer questions concerning all of the scandals, questions about benghazi. it was softball. that's for the low information voter, the people who don't watch the headlines. they will get it from a couple of 30 second s on the local news and that's it. but they stay up to watch late night television. he was able to answer things without really having to answer them. unfortunately the people who are really most active, the ones who go out and register the voters, go door to door, the people who energized the base and energize elections, they are unsatisfied. they feel no questions are being answered. people are disgruntled. there is no transparency in what was described by this administrations as the most transparent administration ever. >> where are the white house press corps then? they should be raising hell, jumping up and down, getting together today and demanding that the president take their questions. they are the ones who are steeped in the issues. where are they? >> that's the million dollar question. we were all watching the last press conference with jay carney and there were almost zero. i don't recall a question about why there were 19 embassies and consulates shuttered -- 19 different ones for a week. i would have loved to hear the question, how is that going to make folks working oversees in the em ba sis and consulates to wait a week? the terrorist problem doesn't go away. the closest we got was jay leno asking. >> i give members of congress and the president hell for taking vacations without completing the work. the resolution at the end of september isn't done. the debt ceiling isn't done. they took care of themselves though with the opm exemptions for health care. that was signed. everyone knows where i stand. there are some working. some are holding town halls. i give them credit for that. do you have a problem with the president's vacation schedule and congress's vacation schedule? >> i don't begrudge anyone taking a vacation. we all need one. sometimes we do better after having taken one. it's tradition for every president when they go on vacation to get heat. john adams took heat for going on vacation. he was away for eight months, so that might be different. the difference is mess sajing, timing and expense. when bush went on vacation he went back to his texas ranch. he didn't spend $20 million on repeated vacations to hawaii. he went to the estate in maine or back to texas. clinton rarely went on vacation. >> i wouldn't care if they all took six months off, seven months off if they completed their work. the problem is -- >> true. >> with all sincerity with the continuing resolution unsettled, the debt ceiling unsettled, business people oh are sitting on the sidelines, not making business decisions. >> right. >> as a consequence, they are not expanding, not hiring. they can't plan. this five-week vacation does have a consequence for american people. >> right. >> it's not just whether they are entitled to vacation. i don't care if they take all the vacation if they do the work first so we can get on with our lives. >> the timing is weird. i agree with you. get your work done. then go on vacation. get it done first. like you said, my husband is a small business owner. i have so many people that listen to my show who watch your show, on twitter, on facebook. they are small business owners. their hands are tied. they don't know what's coming up. these people plan ahead. congress isn't doing their job. certainly not doing what we sent them to do. we didn't send them there to go off for five weeks before they get the job done. they wanted the b jo. they need to do it. >> thank you. dana did a google hangout on greta wire. you can see it at any time. it's posted there. thank you. >> thanks, greta. >> a new fox news poll showing most merps don't think congress earned its vacation. when asked if lawmakers worked hard enough to deserve a break 82% of voters said no. that brings us to tonight's hot button issue. yes or no. go to gretawire.com and vote in the poll. this is a fox news alert. a wildfire burning out of control in southern california. you are looking at live pictures from banning, california. a wildfire scorching 5,000 the acres, destroying many homes. three mountain homes are now under mandatory evacuation. one firefighter is reported injured. tonight air quality warnings are going out to most of riverside county. we'll continue bringing you an update later in the program. straight ahead, news tonight that obamacare just hit another hurdle. you won't like this one. this time it is your personal information at risk. that's next. also a deadly secret uncovered. a college professor's past comes back to haunt him and strikes fear into a college campus. the latest on the bizarre story coming up. mine was earned in djibouti, africa. 2004. vietnam in 1972.
