"the washington post" is reporting as many as 21 prostitutes were brought to this hotel. "the post" is also reporting that some of the agents paid the owners of local strip clubs for the women and the next day, one of these prostitutes refused to leave the hotel room saying she was owed another $170. cnn learned she then did go to police and that's what triggered the investigation. the pentagon says as many as ten members of the military possibly played a part in this misconstruct as well. joining me live is former secret service agent dan bongino. i also understand your brother is in the service, not being investigated as part of this scandal. can you confirm that? >> yeah, we've been very open and honest that we had personal relationships with a number of people, not just family but friends involved in the investigation. i can't really comment any further unfortunately, fwu i would be happy to talk about an umbrella view of this situation. >> let me begin with, how long has this been going on? i'm talking prostitutes specifically. this can't just be the first time. this has to be perhaps the first time they got caught. >> i've been to 27 countries. i was the lead advance in three foreign countries for the president of the united states. and i can tell you, i have never heard of an incident like this happening on the trip. listen, i don't know what happened in the past and people didn't get caught for. you can never prove the counterfactu counterfactual. i don't know that. but i've never seen it, never heard of it on trips i've been on. 27 country, roughly 200 advance team members in each country. i have never heard of this before. it's an embarrassment, it's a sdis grace. i've been clear about that from the start. i'm froud of the agency. there are a lot of good men and women who work there. and unfortunately this small group of people have really tarnished us for a while. and i hope america can forgive the agency. >> when did you leave the secret service, was it a year ago? >> may will be a year, yeah. >> so just about a year ago. so you're pretty fresh off the secret service and the tour with them. >> did you know any of the guys involved? >> yeah. i know really everyone involved from the investigators to the folks being investigated to the folks who were in country providing information about what happened. yeah. these are personal relationships. some are neighbors to this day. and that's what makes this just really emotionally devastating situation for me personally and professionally. >> without giving it too much legs, mao are they handling this? are they devastated? are they embarrassed? are they married? >> i don't know if they're all married, but yeah, devastated, hue mill yated. they stand next to the president of the united states with a loaded firearm and say i go before he does. you're not going to get to him. they disregard political party, ideology. these are men and women who are real patriots. and it's unfortunate that this small group of guys that really tarnished the agency. and i think for a while now, this is unfortunately what's going to be associated with our secret service name. you know, there's a lot of people upset about this. retired and active. >> it's interesting you use the word tarnish. they're called the secret service, right? nothing about them is supposed to get out. now you have this splashed all over the papers. how can this incredibly elite group of men and women, how do they move forward? what needs to change? >> there's no opportunity for them to take a breather here. the secret service keeps them safe and secure. there's no opportunity to say let's have a board meeting here. they're planning trips right now for the president of the united states. america needs to keep that in mind. no one is asking for their sympathy for that. and the second part of your question, i think you're going to see an enhanced training requirement potentially. they were very clear when i was there as to what the rules were, but maybe you'll see it made a little more robust at this point. maybe some new revised procedures. that's the best i can guess. >> when we hear about the news now that they're losing their security clearance. what does that really mean? and how would that affect their careers from here on out? >> you wouldn't be an agent without top clearance. it's pretty standard at this point, you're lose your clearance during the course of an investigation as the events unfold. the service is confident their investigation is complete and thorough, some will get it back, some won't. some will get their jobs back and some won't. so that's pret standard. >> and if they don't, what does a secret service agent, this is what they do, what do you do next? >> that's a good question. you're traveling around the world with the president of the united states as a proud, no mill profession, not that there's not other professions out there that should be equally proud. but there's not a close second, i don't think, for the excitement and the thrill of being a secret service agent. i don't know what. co-s next for them and that's unfortunate. >> thanks for coming on. >> you're very welcome. >> house republicans want to cut billions of dollars in food stamps. who exactly in terms of numbers this could impact. and why my next guest calls this suggestion appalling. house republicans are trying to cut the social safety net to avoid cuts at the pentagon. ten-year cuts totals $134 billion. and lot of these republicans are saying the food stamp program has gotten way too big and there are folks who are getting food stamps who could probably do without them. a lot of other folks are saying the cuts would affect a lot of kids in our country. let's go to washington and talk to the executive director of the congressional hunger office here. and ed, ten-year cuts totalling $134 billion? give me some numbers. who exactly would this affect? how many? >> this would affect several million low income s.n.a.p. house holds. you're talking about a proposal as part of the ryan budget that would cut $129 billion over a ten-year period by block grants this particular program. return it to the district of the states. tomorrow they're going to cut an additional $33 billion. they indicated that there will be no harm involved. these are technical cuts. if you hear that expression from congress, no one will be harmed. that's your first notice that you should be running for cover. >> when you mentioned millions of people might be affected, i assume we're talking millions of childrens. as we talk million you have record numbers of people who are in the food stamp program. the program began spiking during the great recession. then you from 2007 to today, we have seep the food stamp roles go from 27 million to 47 million. at the same time, though, the dollar cost to the federal government has more than doubled. doubled. so you have $33 billion in '07 when things really started getting tough to $76 billion this year. how much of this is due to fraud? you have people renting out their food cards, getting these food stamps but buying food for someone else. >> my information is it is less than 1%. it's related to fraud. these are people committing fraud who are actual criminals. 99% of the program benefits go to basically, 51% go to children themselves. about 7% go to the elderly. and a significant percentage go to disabled people. these are some of the poorest people on the planet. a family of four, you know, meeting the poverty line of $23,000 really doesn't have a whole lot of money to spare. but you're talking about a population that's primarily made up of children, elderly and disabled. you mentioned 2007. that makes sen. because, you know, that was before the recession. food stamps follow unemployment. when unemployment rises, food stamps rises. >> let's pick up with 2007, i want to show the graphics again. it shows food stamp rolls doubling since 2007. republican budget cutters say look, more people are relying on government hand yachts and the food stamp handout has responded way beyond what it intended to do. that's why they're calling on these cuts. what do you say to that? >> i think the program is performing as it should. it's the only program we have you have people who need nutrition assistance. 1 in 5 members indicate they are struggling with hunger. >> i think a lot of these republicans would agree with you. they want to continue to help folk ps but they also say perhaps there's a little bit of fraud. we'll check that ag site and in the meantime, we'll see where this goes, if anywhere. thank you. the alleged mistress has football chicks talking. one woman says is this hurts all women in sports. my next guest disagrees. back in 70 seconds. we want to bring in a law professor in florida and senior director to have advocacy. at the women's sports foundation. nan nancy, you read the article, i read the krt pl . -- article. do you think this 25-year-old jessica durrel totally hurt women trying to get careers in football now? >> well, she's working in a mad men world where this is a 98% male world. so in an environment like that, anything that one woman does or doesn't do reflects off the larger group. now, the issue i have with what she said is she's really focused on the woman rather than thinking about -- there is no way that this woman, that jessica would have gotten this job had it not been for her lover. this is what quid pro quo harassment is all about. i gave you a job in exchange you agree to sleep with me. >> i'm glad you made that point. i would be loving to talk to her, but she said thanks but no thanks. she is angry at this young woman. i want eed to ask you, do you think this blame is misdirected on this young woman? shouldn't it be on petrino? he was the one in charge. >> sure. attorney-client, physicians, employer-employee. the standard rule is there are no romantic or sexual relationships between those in authority and those who are not. and so, you know, we do that in order to protect the person. you don't have to sleep with the boss in order to get ahead. 25 years ago, women really did have to put up with a lot. >> so who is to blame here? >> that's why we have these standard norms here. i would say the person really responsible is bobby. he's the one who made it so that he got her a job that he would other wise not have. and of course, bystanders get hurt. hey, i didn't get a job as a result of that. so quid pro quo harassment doesn't just hurt the person who's actually having to be the position of giving up romance and b sex, but it hurts everyone around them. they're making sure that club coaches are not involved in romantic relationships with their athletes. it really hurts the team dynamic when the coach is giving special attention over the one athlete they're having a romantic relationship with. >> she talks a little bit about her dres stankowski dard. let me just quote here. >> she says is watch what you wear. in washington, anything dressier than jeans was not okay as it was seen as a distraction in the office. i soon learned my best bet was to always wear pants and flats. it sounded like she was having to change what she was wearing because of the guys in the office. how do you feel about what she said and shouldn't it be the other way around? >> she has to be hyper concerned. again, she's in a mad men world of 98% men. you've got about 50% of men who coach women but less than 2% of women can get into the coaching world and get into the football world for coaching men. she has to be hyper concerned about what it is that she does. as those barriers break down, it will be much less of an issue. right now, the numbers the way they are, rather than blaming another woman who let's face it, jessica durrel would probably not have gotten this job if she was not sleeping with bobby petrino. rather than blaming her, to blame -- she's working in a very macho sexist call chur. that doesn't really value having women in it. otherwise, you would see a lot more women in it. >> it is an all male sport. we'll see if the barriers are broken in this kind of sport. >> there are lots of all women sports that have a lot of women working around it. >> there you go. can it be equal? i don't know. we'll see. nancy -- >> there's no reason why not. >> there you go. thank you so much. i'll tweet out this article from si. my twitter handle @brookebcnn. is it ever okay to handcuff a 6-year-old?

>> this is the mastermind of the new york city subway plot that was smoezed to take place on september 11, 2009. this is the man who's already admitted that he was the one that dreamed up this plot. luckily the fbi found out about this literally days before the attack was supposed to happen. and brooke, the importance of this case is this is the biggest, closest deal, plot, that al qaeda had since the anniversary of 9/11 where they came closest to carrying out an attack on u.s. soil since 9/11. azazi has been on the stand for a little over an hour. ewe're still waiting for him to get into the details of that day. he's had some chilling things to say, for example, about what he thought about 9/11. he said, my view is the people behind it is america himself. >> as we're looking to get lessons on the stand what does he get for his testimony? >> certainly he is cooperating and acknowledges he's been cooperating with the government. he hasn't been sentenced yet. it's likely he might be able to shave some stay off. ket get to stay in a prison, get to do his time more or less in some place other than the super max prison, which is maximum security with very tiegts restrictions that's located in colorado. we should say as well the third defendant says he dependent do it but he tried to drop out of the plot and he claims is not a terrorist. brooke? >> thank you, susan. next, let's go to the white house, the chief correspondent there, jessica yellin. tell me about the president's message. what was his plan to crack down on the oil speculators? >> hi, brooke. that's right. the president saying part of the high price of oil is attributable to folks who are trading in oil that are driving up prices and he wants congress to pass new laws that would increase some of the penalties on these guys. put more cops on the beat to watch them and put more data in place so they can see how these folks are manipulate iing oil prices and costing us more at the pump. >> we can't afford speculators who artificially prop up the market and drive prices higher, only to flip oil for a quick profit. we can't afford a situation where some speculators can reap millions while millions of american families get the short end of the stick. that's not the way the market should work. >> i can already tell you, this is likely not going anywhere in congress. speaker boehner told our dei are e walsh he wonders where the agencies are. if this is alreadying place bhie aren't they cracking down on it. they haven't brought any charges against any individual or firm in that have time, brooke. >> so then may i ask, what is the point here? >> well it's tax day. people are frustrated with the high price of gas and wall street is a very, very easy target and one that makes the president draw an easy contrast with none other than mitt romney who the campaign likes to draw contrast with. he likes to say the president is on the side of the middle class. in the past, the president has said the price of high gas is because of middle east earn unrest and in the future it will be china and brazil. it's very hard for a president to fix the high price of gas. got to find someone to blame. i guess today it's speculation. independent analysts by the way, say this isn't a bad idea, it's just not the fix. >> the president himself said not too long ago, there is no silver bullet. >> he said that again today basically. >> there we go. thank you. an amazing pictures from space. i'm not talking about the space shuttle discovery. i was totally up this morning watching all of that. like the space geek that i am. we have unbelievable shots. i bought an $89 cannon camera with 12.5 megapixels. think about what the government can do with a little more money with $89 and the pictures they can take. take a look at some of this stuff. time lapse of this explosion coming out of the sun. that's a kroen ycoronal mass ej a cme. and all just exploded off to the left. that is not the direction of the earth. when it explodes off to the right, then we have to be concerned because some of that can approach the earth. it is kind of heading towards that thing that's headed towards mars. that lunar, that rover. but it will be okay. >> these are nice innocuous picture, but maybe not. saturn pictures?

>> precisely right. but the interesting thing about that is the first set of interest dividends and capital gains will be tax free, close to $1,000, so you can have each and every year have the money grow on a tax-free basis, which could be attractive but you don't have control. the other fantastic choice is a 529 college savings plan. each state has the plans. the beauty of them is the money grows tax deferred and if it's used for college, there's no tax on the growth. and some states give you an extra tax incentive to participate. >> and your question comes from beverly in california. we're going through a short sale. how can we prevent our credit score from imploding? >> oh, my dear. that may not be preventible. however, it will be noted that this is a settled debt. so there will be a difference. you'll be able to show lenders in the future, this is not something you walked away from. you didn't foreclose on the house. ou ghot the debt settled. that's important to understand. when it comes to buying a new home or getting a new loan, you're about five years more likely -- two years to get a new home if you short sale, probably five to seven maybe if you walk away. it looks better on your credit report, your credit score will need to recover, but the sooner you do it, the vooner it will recover. >> great advice, guys. thank you. send an e-mail anytime to the cnn help desk at cnn.com. just into us here at cnn this young soldier is missing and police believe she may be in danger. she is 23-year-old private kelly bordeaux. she was last seen saturday and she is stationed at fort bragg, north carolina. private bordeaux is blond, 5 feet tall last seen wearing a pink top and black short, and now we go to wolf blitzer who has taken a bit of a field trip. wolf, secretaries panetta and clinton live in your town. why did you have to go to brussels?
