opposition. opposition to gay marriage and immigrants am. so they are not going to go along with what they for perceiving as political witchhunts right now. eric: do you think it s a political witch-hunt? the president s problems are just beginning. he is not facing them. he feigns outrage, but his actions are opposite what have the american people feel. what they are feeling day by day. good luck with the 50%. let s see what they near 2014 as we learn to where the president s been. peter king said it best. as chairman chairman of the homd security at the time, he doesn t know where the president was during the benghazi attacks, but we knew full well where he was when osama bin laden was taken out. there is something terribly wrong. eric: that will have to be the last word. thank you. glad to be here. jamie: it s a memorial week end tradition at an air strip outside new york city. high-flying acrobats putting on a show have you to see to
honor the victims of the terror attack. jamie: have you been following the investigation into the benghazi scandal? it is widening. four people died. lawmakers are looking to interview 13 top state department officials in the coming weeks on top of the questions they have already asked, hoping to learn more about what actually happened, want just that night in libya, but what happened before and what happened after. republican congressman peter king is a member of the homeland security committee and a good friend to this program. we thank you for coming in. thank you. jamie: a lot of important questions. first of all, where is the investigation? how much have we learnd? what is left? the more we learn, the more we realize we have to learn. the administration is not telling the full story. we have not found out where that whole tale originated about the the video. no one there is no woon at all on the ground that night that said anything about a video. but that became the st
motivation involved. and quite honestly, i agree with the young senator mcconnell. the reason we have this problem is because we have a tax code that allows groups to use their political operations within the tax code under the guise of a charity to use undisclosed millions of dollars to do political campaigns. i think he would resent that remark, the young mcconnell, even if he agreed with you. there s some news this morning, a new cnn poll that has the president s approval ratings in pretty good territory but also a view there is not an overreaction on the gop, whether on the irs or benghazi and a view whether it s the irs, benghazi or the a.p., a majority saying these are very important issues for the country. so as a matter of how much, congressman, this infects the rest of the president s agenda, what do you see? well, i think that obviously this may increase the need for tax reform because the complexity of the code is such that it s a problem. but let me just in answer to wh
about all of this. there are republicans in an organized fashion, of accusing the president of being nixonian, comparing it to water. isn t that overblown? i think it s important there is an investigation under way. rand paul says benghazi should disqualify hillary clinton from being president. is that your view? the 2016 elections are way too far away. my question stands. we re in the process of investigating a number of different investigations, all of these things are important to take a look at and we re going to do that. do you think that hillary
problem. it s a perfect storm in there right now and those jobs are very difficult and there are a lot of things that make them even more difficult. but former vice president cheney said that they re lying in the administration. do you think that s overly harsh? do you think we know that that s true? he may know something i don t know. all i know is that the story has changed repeatedly on benghazi. i don t know anything about the a.p. story. it seems to me until we have some sense of that, we can t even begin to make a judgment. but i think people looking at the changed stories on benghazi and the way the talking points were altered are of a view that they were trying to support a narrative that in fact did not exi
