they've repelled the deadly attacks in kabul and three other provinces. the explosions and gun fire have stopped at least for now. the latest on the prostitution scandal. nearly a dozen secret service agents pulled off the job. and the president, not surprisingly, not pleased. >> i expect that investigation to be thorough and rigorous. >> ahead, how a complaint from one prostitute in colombia set the scandal in motion. and, yes, that is secretary of state hillary clinton. she was caught on camera, take a look, folks, you don't normally see her had like this. she's knocking down a beer and dancing up a storm at a cuban nightclub in colombia. up first, the alarm after the storm. people in the midwest and plains still reeling from violent and deadly weather. take a look, more than 130 tornadoes touching down over the weekend, many of them in kansas. the governor says 97 twisters were reported there. some of the worst damage, though, was in oklahoma. that state's governor declaring a state of emergency in 12 counties. the tiny town of woodward was nearly leveled and five people there lost their lives. power was knocked out ahead of the storm, disabling the warning sirens. >> i thought it was a train coming down the tracks over there. and i looked out, and i seen the funnel and i started running through the house screaming, marcia, marcia! i mean, loud. i was scared. >> it gives me a whole new respect for tornadoes and how they can, in an instant, just destroy everything that everyone knew. >> cnn's rob marciano got a firsthand look at the tornado damage e.'s lift in woodward, oklahoma. what can you tell us, rob? >> reporter: this town reeling. block after block you see damage like you see behind me, where it's trucks an cars tossed like toys. this area, though, fairly narrow but it cut right through the heart of woodward. as you mentioned, it came at night after the power was off because this town got hit by two other separate storms during the afternoon. so the result was five fatalities, 29 injured, as you mentioned, and the recovery effort is still going on. an incredible weekend of tornadoes across the midwest and moving all over toward the east. the cleanup today begins. yesterday we talked to a number of people who wanted to share their survival stories. this is a town steeped in tradition of tornadoes. they just celebrated the 65-year anniversary of the great 1947 tornado which killed over 100 people in this town. and some of the survivors of this one survived that one as well. i talked to a gentleman who's been living in this town his whole life, paul lord. he's been through a lot, several heart and brain surgeries, and yesterday, well, early yesterday he survived this storm with an incredible story. >> i was laying down there on the curb, and i looked up and saw the house gone. i didn't know what to do. and then neighbors come in, started pulling bricks off, and tilting walls up, and everybody started coming out. >> reporter: what specifically are things that you want to find in this rubble? >> i found them. my son, my daughter, son-in-law, my grandbabies, my wife. everything elimination just -- else just brick and stick. >> reporter: the family members he just mentioned were covered with those bricks and sticks and appliances. he had a huge gash on his head, his grandson cuts on his arm. he drove he and his grandson to the hospital, later found out his wife and the rest of his family was okay. grateful they're alive. but his house leveled. they were selling the house this week and were going to move out. not sure what will happen there, but they're certainly happy to be alive. >> i have a couple of questions. you mentioned that the power was out. did they get the siren warning in time or not? >> reporter: you know, sirens are meant really for people who are outside so this happened late at night, actually shortly after midnight. about half the sirens went out. they were watching television, the tv stations do a great job here. so they knew the storm was coming, but when it flattens your home, there's only so much you can do. the fatalities happened at a trailer park down the road and also a couple out in their car. they may not have heard the sirens or the media reports and they may have been in a bad place at a bad time. >> rob, we're taking a look at storm chasing video. and i came in this morning to this really dreadful picture of you with what looked like two twisters behind you. were you chasing storms? >> reporter: yeah, we were out chasing all weekend. we knew it would be a high-risk day. we teamed up with seasoned storm chasers, and we actually went after the cells that came through woodward earlier in the day. the tornado picture that you see was a tornado storm that came through here and likely knocked out power during the afternoon, made its way up to the kansas/oklahoma border. we were in just as it was dropping not one but two tornadoes. an incredible sight. at the time it was just tearing up some grass and farmland so it was something just to marvel at. but as night fell and the tornadoes continued to get worse, obviously the danger lurked and the reality set in yesterday morning. >> the danger, rob, i said i was going to scold you this morning when i saw this. you've got to know what you're doing in order to do what you did. >> reporter: you need to be on the right side of that storm as it's passing. and you don't want to get too close obviously. you you've got to respect it. we do so from a fairly safe distance, but you want to get close enough where you can feel it, where you can hear it and get a good view of it. and we did just that. >> rob marciano, live in woodward, oklahoma, for us. thank you very much. president obama back from colombia this morning and demanding a thorough and rigorous investigation into the prostitution scandal that's rocking the secret service. 11 advanced secret service agents and officers allegedly brought prostitutes to a hotel in colombia just before the president arrived for the summit of the americas event. they've been placed on leave. president obama says he's reserving judgment for now. >> if it turns out that some of the allegations that have been made in the press are confirmed, then of course i'll be angry, because my attitude with respect to the secret service personnel is no different than what i expect out of my delegation that's sitting here. we're representing the people of the united states. >> and in the next half hour we'll talk to new york congressman peter king. he's chairman of the house homeland security committee and has oversight over the secret are service. he's been briefed on the incident and we'll hopefully get more details from him and the latest on that. also on capitol hill, a house hearing gets under way this afternoon as lawmakers begin investigating the spending circle at the government services administration. the gsa exists to ensure taxpayer dollars are wisely spent. that's why the agency can justify $800,000 at a lavish las vegas convention in 2010. i know you know these details. we're getting more. the videos then surfaced of gsa employees mocking president obama as well as a fake red carpet ceremony. gsa administrator martha johnson resigned two weeks ago. she is expected to testify. we'll be all over that later. in the next hour of "early start ", we'll preview the hearing today with representative mike kelly, on the oversight committee. i have questions for him. >> i know you've been following this closely. it's 8 minutes past the hour. just in, gas prices, no change in the price at the pump, the national average remains at $3.91 per gallon. >> painfully high. >> oh, yes. >> ridiculous and misleading are the words treasury secretary tim geithner is using to slam mitt romney. geithner blasting the gop candidate claiming 92% jobs lost under president obama are women. geithner says that calculation unfairly sticks president obama with recession fallout from the bush years. >> it's ridiculous and deeply misleading look at the economy. remember the recession and the crisis started at the beginning of 2008, more than a year before the president took office. and it caused a huge amount of damage to men, to women, to families, and the damage lasted for a time. you're still seeing the scars of that. and if you look at the damage early on, you know, most of the early job losses were in construction, manufacturing and disproportionately ach lly affe. >> as you well know, both candidates are vying for the female vote. afghan officials say they've repelled a deadly wave of terrorist attacks that rocked kabul and three provinces. nato says as many as seven locations in the capital city were attacked in the nearly 18-hour assault, including afghanistan's parliament building and the american german and russian embassies. cnn's mohammed jamjoom is live in kabul. what's going on? still hearing gunfire and explosions there? >> reporter: kate, no. all the operations finished around 7:00 a.m. today. we did get information from the interior ministry earlier that, all in all, about 36 suicide bombers were involved in the attacks across afghanistan yesterday, and that a majority of them were killed by afghan security forces in those operations. now, to give you an idea of just how chaotic and volatile it was yesterday here in central kabul thshgs is a very heavily guarded part of the city that houses embassies, as close to the presidential palace. these attacks were around 1:15 p.m. yesterday, didn't end until 7:00 a.m. this morning. the insurgents were holed up in a building that was close to several embassies. that's where they were launching their attacks. in the overnight hours we heard helicopters flying overhead. we heard small arms fire. we heard several loud blasts. we found out later that was due to rpgs that afghan security forces were firing into that building to try to clear the building of the insurgents. and in that operation. we also got information from the interior ministry that isap was involved in aerial support in these operations to finally end these attacks early this morning. >> mohammed, as you know, this a heavily fortified area, which makes it all the more surprising. general allen said this was meant as a signal or to send a message. what does he mean by that, and what are u.s., nato and afghan forces doing about this? >> reporter: well, kate, as you said, it's a very heavily fortified part of the city, they call it the ring of steel, very wording that the terrorists could get in here and infiltrate this area clearly a signal by the insurgents they have reach, they have stepped up their attacks. we've seen more attacks from the taliban and haqqani network in the last year. clearly they're saying they can do whatever they want despite the fact forces are still here, despite they'll be withdrawing by 2014. they have the reach, the sophistication. they will target what they want in kabul and other parts of the country. now, nato, you talked about flait t nato. yesterday they were overflowing with praise for afghan security forces saying they really appreciated how responsive they were. flout throughout the day, isap, nato and u.s. officials were with saying nato and isap were ready to back up the afghan officials if need be. they didn't request that. now we know there was aerial support by nato. the fact aerial support was needed clear lir shows afghan forces weren't able to do quite as good a job as was originally billed. kate? >> much more to talk about coming up soon. thank you, mohammed. it is 12 minutes past the hour. it is suddenly cool to be the secretary of state. did you see the pictures? >> i did. you know what? everyone's allowed to let their hair down. >> boy, did she literally and figuratively. first it was tumblr that had pictures. now new pictures of hillary clinton letting her had hair down. she's hitting the dance floor at a club on saturday night. she's also seen sipping a beer there. clinton is in colombia for the summit of the americas. still ahead on "early start" -- edge endary comedian bill cosby speaking about the trayvon martin tragedy. he says the issue should be about guns, not race. search called off for four missing in a yacht race disaster. we have an update coming up. you're watching "early start." bet you think you're pretty quick?

>> well, kate, it's moving into investigation mode. that's something that will be taking place, of course, today xg but i think one. big issues for the white house is just the distraction of this, how many people will remember the summit of the americas in colombia, for instance, for president obama putting an exclamation point on that free trade agreement that was palaced last year through congress and was sorts of something he was able to point to and say, hey, look, this is a jobs-creating measure. he and the colombian president announcing this would be implemented very soon. well, no one is going to remember it for that. they're going to remember it for this scandal. and, if true, these allegations that secret service members brought prostitute s back to their hotel -- let's remember, this is not the president's personal detail. this was not the hotel the president was at and this all took place before the president even went to colombia. but, nonetheless, it raises huge security concerns. so president obama saying yesterday that he will be very angry if this is true. we're awaiting the investigation from the secret service, kate. >> you hit on a really important issue here. i mean, this was supposed to be a summit for the president to focus on many issues, not a scandal. he wanted to focus on energy, regional security issues, trade especially. what is the white house saying knew that this scandal has largely overshadowed any positive progress made during this trip? how concern ared are they about it? >> i think obviously there's some concern and they're trying to keep some of the focus back on some of the issues that they had. but i think there's a realization that when you have something -- i mean, this is a huge scandal the secret service is dealing with. we've heard experts say this is the biggest scandal by far too ever rock the secret service. people are really hungry for the details of this, kate, especially if they were tuning out over the weekend. and it seems like what we're learning from some people who were briefed on this, for instance, we heard from congressman peter king, the chairman of the house homeland security committee. he was briefed on this, and it seems like, from what he's saying and other sources are saying, that it all kind of comes down to really the fact that there may have been one woman who was brought back to the hotel room for these -- with these secret service agents who in the morning complained ultimately to a hotel manager that she had not been paid. that sort of led to a series of events where the police were brought in, complaints were filed with the u.s. embassy. that's when the secret service stepped in and sent these secret service agents, 11 of them, home. and now the investigation continues. >> much more detail to come on that. we'll hear from peter king next. brianna keilar in washington, thanks so much. congress now wants to know if the agency is covering up any more xond als. congre congressman peter king is chairman of the homeland security committee which oversees the secret service. he was briefed on the investigation and he swroins us by phone. thank you, congressman, for being here. can you tell us some of the detiles in the briefing? >> yes. basically, there are 11 secret settings, two or three in uniform, the others special agents, and they sometime late wednesday evening brought women back to the hotel. i don't know the exact number of women, but i'm pretty sure it was more than one. there were 11 agents and they brought women back to the hotel. in the hotel they were staying in, each guest has to leave i.d. at the main desk and they have to be out by 7:00 in the morning. this one woman in one room had not left by 7:00 in the morning. the hotel manager went up. he wasn't allowed into the room. they got the police. they went in and the woman and the agent were arguing. she said he owed her money. he said he didn't. he paid it and there wasn't a real issue. no arrests were made. but the police did file a report with the american embassy which they're required to do whenever they deal with a foreign national. and when the secret service -- the embassy saw that report, they realized what they had on their hands and began a very quick investigation. they contacted director sullivan in washington and he order all 11 agents out of the country and they were immediately substituted for. they got constitute agents from miami, florida, and from san juan, puerto rico. >> now, we understand that prostitution is legal in colombia in certain tolerance zones is what they call them. so you're not concerned about criminal charges here. you're more concerned about a code of conduct, is that right? >> yeah. my concern, again, as far as i know there is no criminal violation here at all. and it's not just a code of conduct in the abstract. the danger here is secret service agents using prostitutes, certainly in a country like colombia, leave themselves to be threatened, blackmailed. you also have terrorists in colombia who could be using prostitutes to get into the president's zone of security, to find out what the secret service is dog. it compromises the secret service. it could put the president at risk. there's no evidence that happened in this case, but that's the danger you face. it's the conduct that really can't be tolerated. i discussed it with secret service director mark sullivan who i think overall did an outstanding job and the secret service itself does an outstanding job. we have to find out if there's more to it, but in my experience the secret service are really top-rated professionals, do a great job day in and day out year in and year out. but, again, what happened here in colombia koontd be excused. >> when you say "more to it" than this, are you investigating whether there's more to it than this, have you heard anything about this just being a one-had time incident, or has this been ongoing? >> my of again, my belief is that this is certainly an isolated case, but i want to find out exactly -- minute by minute, what happened, when supervisor personnel found out, how they react, what they did. what were the conditions that allowed this to hoop and also what's being done to make sure it doesn't happen in the future. again, i've been in continual contact since saturday with the secret service, including the director. when these men were brought back, though were questioned all day saturday, into yesterday. this investigation is as intense as it can be. so basically it's to find out how far it goes. does it go any further. i have no evidence that it does. i don't think anyone should be saying they have any evidence that it goes any further. but, again, we don't know yet. that's what we're looking at and we'll look at it very carefully. >> congressman, there were reports of perhaps the military being involved here as well. have you heard anything about that? apparently violating curfew. >> yeah, there were five military personnel also in the hotel. all i can tell so far, they were not involved with the secret service. this is a separate issue earlier. there were complaints of them being loud and disorderly i guess on wednesday night or thursday, and based on that that was a violation of curfew. they're part of the security team and so there was action being taken against those five. but my understanding is this is not in any way tied into the prostitution issue with the secret service. >> congressman peter king, thank you for spending time with us. >> very welcome. thank you. a consumer alert to it tell you about. dole is recalling more than 750 cases of bagged salad because they could be contaminated with salmonel salmonella. the company says a random sample of seven lettuces salads came back positive for salmonella. no other dole salads are included in the recall and no illnesses fortunately have been reported. the bags were distributed in alabama, florida, illinois, indiana, maryland, massachusetts, michigan, mississippi, new york, north carolina -- i'm still going -- ohio, pennsylvania, tennessee, virginia and wisconsin. so they could be out there widely. they're stamped with a used by date of april 11, 2012. fresh off baseball's annual celebration of jackie robinson day, new research suggests there are fewer african-americans in baseball today than since the earliest days of integration. african-americans make up just over 8% of major leaguers. that's down from 8.5% last season and less than half the 17% in 1959 when the red sox became the last team to integrate. the number of african-americans peaked in 1975 when th$1975 whe compromise 27% of all roflters. a lack of college scholarships and opportunities are said to be contributing factors in the steady decline. ahead on "early start," a principal arrested and charged with child abuse. look at this. it is shocking video of him yanking an 11-year-old boy off a bus. he was yanking him by the neck. you know there are consequences here. we'll share it all with you. you're watching "early strart." pssst! don't go in there! it's your surprise party and we want this hair color to be party ready. let's get some dimensional color. now!?

>> my family, my son, my daughter, son-in-law, my grandbabies, my wife, everything else just brick and stick. >> reporter: you talk about somebody who is grateful, he was going to close this coming friday, sell and build another home. this gentleman has had two heart surgeries and four brain surgeries so grateful for the several lives and survival stories that he's had. as far as what else has gone down this week here obviously power out for a good chunk of it's out. fairly narrow swathe. easily 50 if not over 100 homes damaged or completely destroyed so folks will be cleaning up and recovering for quite some time. >> rob as we look at the pictures a lot of people seem to be volunteering with the efforts for cleanup there. >> reporter: the spirit of this community is remarkable. at his place there was probably 20 or 30 friends, neighbors and relatives coming over to help out, we saw that in the hardest hit areas, one of those situations because of the path it was pretty narrow, fairly ran dam as far as one home being completely destroyed and across the street another home that is virtually untouched so because of that, neighbors have been allows to, able to help out quite read wil those who have been hardest hit. that part of it, the human spirit nice to see. >> it's really great to see. we showed some storm chasers' video earlier. you were in the middle of that. it looked like it was two twisters right behind you. >> reporter: amazing shot, amazing storm to chase. that particular cell was the three that came through here during the day. we chased it saturday up to the kansas bon der, as we were watching it and getting on the lower right flank of it we saw the tornado spin up and another. incredibly rare, a high contrast where you can see vibrantly and you can hear it and feel it. three-quarters to a mile and a half away from it and it was tearing up farmland, a good spot to admire the beauty and power of mother nature but of course that has a price to be paid when it gets close and through a town like this. >> quite a bit of destruction. we are very fond of you so we were worried. we know you're a professional and know what you're doing. >> reporter: i appreciate the concern but we were just fine, zoraida, thanks. >> thank you, rob. afghan officials say they've successfully turned back insurgents targeting kabul and three other provinces this weekend. nato confirming several locations in the capital hit including the afghan parliament and russian and german and u.s. embassies. nick, by all accounts this was a coordinated attack. >> reporter: absolutely, this morning we're hearing details of the fact four civilians were killed, eight police were killed. 35 of the 36 insurgents who launched this attack in the center of the city and as details emerge there are alarming similarities to an attack six months ago in the supposedly safe center of kabul, using abandoned building to launch the attack and also took about 20 hours or afghan security forces to finally suppress so despite all the noise we're hearing from nato and u.s. officials that this was to some extent a successful show by afghan security forces because they managed to prevail i'm sure there are many people waking up in kabul after 1 hours of explosions in kabul feeling much safe after a few days ago after this highly symbolic attack. >> afghan soldiers are receiving credit for stemming the violence. you've had a chance to go out on patrol with them. what can you tell us? >> reporter: >> reporter: a couple of days ago we went into an air assault in taliban territory of gazni. during the patrol going through a village looking for high value insurgents they came under attack and here is how americans and afghans responded. as they search a former weapons cache they become targets. [ gunfire ] >> where is it at? where is it at? where is it at? >> reporter: clearly insurgents are keen to defend this building or at least attack the americans as they get near it. the shots coming close, fired from a distant tree line. the afghans spring into life, firing a rocket and move to flank the insurgents who keep taking pot shots. that absolutely vital to remember the afghan security forces are key to america's departure from afghanistan. without them being ready to take on the insurgents there's a question as to what kind of country the americans are leaving behind. the afghans are vigor to get into the fight but there are larger questions about this broad job they have to do when america leaves, governance, policing, later on the day the soldiers came across young afghan men from the village riding motorbikes, they're not supposed to do, associated with the insurgency and administered a broad and brutal corporal punishment, slapping them crudely in the face but frankly to many people in the village that was the first time in months they've seen anybody from the afghan government so it would have been to them a real significant shock that finally they see afghan soldiers, that's the treat they expect so many questions at the end of the day still being asked how they are. we've witnesseded in kabul they suppressed the hakani network and quite exactly how they'll hold the country together when america leaves doing a job which america itself struggled to do over a decade. >> nick, very well put regardless if u.s. and nato forces are calling this a success, they're able to hold off these insurgents, still no doubt there will be questions raised about the readiness of afghan forces going forward. nick payton walsh in afghanistan, nick please stay safe, thank you. ridiculous and misleading, those are the words treasury secretary tim geithner is using to slam mitt romney for his claim that 92% of jobs lost under president obama are among women. he said that unfairly sticks president obama with fallout from the bush years. >> it's a ridiculous and deeply misleading look at the economy. remember the recession and the crisis started at the beginning of 2008, more than a year before the president took office. it caused a huge amount of damage to men, to women, to families and the damage lasted for a time. if you look at the damage early on, most of the early job losses were in construction, moving and disproportionately affected men. >> both candidates are vying for the female vote. aheat on "early start," the trial begins for the man accused in that norway massacre, killing 77 people last summer. >> we have the latest on the prostitution scandal at the secret service. president obama is demanding answers. and snapshots of secretary clinton cutting loose in colombia, drinking and dancing the night away. she's allowed to have a little fun. you're watching "early start." we'll have more coming up.

what we saw was the president and the colombian president really trying to use it as an exclamation point for the free trade agreement they brokered, that finally passed through congress and announced it would be implemented soon, something president obama could say this is a job creating measure. no one's really going to remember this summit for that at all. they'll remember it for the scandal. we should remind people of a few details. this was an advanced team so all of these alleged activities happened before the president got there, a different hotel than the president was staying at and also dealt with before the president got there. as you heard the chairman of the house homeland security committee say, it really raises concerns about security and that's why president obama, among other reasons, saying he'll be very angry if these allegations turn out to be true. >> if we could talk about the details of some of the allegations because as i understand it, it came to light according to sources one woman complained she wasn't paid? >> that's right. one of the things that is interesting, unlike in the u.s. in certain ports of colombia, prostitution isn't illegal. what it appears to come down to and we heard this from the chairman of the homeland security committee briefed on this, one woman had gone back to the hotel with secret service members and the hotel actually had a sur few system if you were a guest of one of the guests at the hotel you leave your i.d. and in the morning the hotel realized this woman hadn't left and so that's when the hotel got involved, showed up at the room and the woman according to many sources complained she had not been paid, according to king the secret service agent said he didn't owe her money but paid her anyways and then the protocol started in where then the u.s. embassy got involved and the secret service at the embassy started an investigation and those 11 secret service members were immediately sent back to the u.s. >> what a mess. brianna keilar live in washington i'm sure we'll hear much more. we appreciate it. it is suddenly hip and cool to be secretary of state. >> where did you come up with that?

>> reporter: well, there was feverish pace yesterday, it was unbelievable to see the community come together, a small town, about 12,000, 13,000 people and although the communities that got hit really got completely leefld it was a fairly narrow swathe, about a quarter to half mile wide. the national weather service did a preliminary storm survey and deemed this was an ef-3 with winds of 130 miles an hour and we saw damage that replicated that. as far as the one house completely destroyed and the house across the street virtually untouched we have seen quite a bit of that so there are folks in neighborhoods that got tremendous amount of damage that are living there because their home was fine, they're able to help their neighbor potentially across the street and we're seeing a lot of that so the community spirit is doing well. we talked to survivors happy to be alive regardless of the bricks and sticks as they like to say that may be gone. i talked to the mayor yesterday, zoraida and of all emotionally distraught, was him. his home was fine but it's hard to see his friends in his community devastating after the tornado was hard for him to take. most folks are doing all right but the folks who lived there their entire life are certainly thrown back a little bit. as i mentioned last hour, 1947 was the worst tornado they've ever seen here, one of the worst in u.s. history with over 100 dead so they know tornadoes here all too well. >> i know that area does by i thought a new report came out said the northwest would be hit harder, am i right in recalling that? >> reporter: i think maybe what you read is we expanded tornado alley a little bit toward the ohio river valley and down towards dixie, starting to see more tornadoes in that area but we're getting better at reporting them as a whole, the public. if there's anything that's changed in the past couple years is we've seen tornadoes earlier in the season farther north so that's the unusual part but we've had devastating years of tornadoes throughout the past century and there will be more of that to come for sure. >> i don't want to let you go without talking about your storm chasing. we saw the pictures earlier, concerned about the two twisters right behind you. >> reporter: well, yeah, you were concerned, we were excited. that storm was tearing up just some grass and farmland and i was out there chasing with brandon miller, a seasoned chaser and weather producer at cnn international and brian smith who has chased 100 times and said that was one of the more phenomenal chases as far as finally catching up to the tornado, so vivid and high contrast and on the ground for so long. we were close enough to see it, in some cases feel it and hear it. it was an amazing thing to see. you're in awe of the beauty and the power of nature but also know in the back of your head if one of these things clips a town like it did here, the results certainly aren't nearly as beautiful and much more damaging and life-threatening for sure. >> rob marciano live for us in oklahoma thank you for that report. coming up we're going to get an early preview on the gsa hearings that begin later today. next we're going to talk to a committee member who will be looking into gsa's misuse of trax pair dollars and see what questions the congressman has for the witnesses, that will be interesting. first a quick check of your travel forecast with bonnie schneider. hi there, bonnie. >> good morning. we have the threat unfortunately today for more severe weather but it's in a different location. let's look at the maps and we're anticipating some heavy downpours through areas of the plain states but this is the region that may see some strong thunderstorms and it will impact for those of you that are traffic today in buffalo and pittsburgh, where we may have airport delays holding true for areas further to the west as well because the winds will really get strong as we go through the afternoon, gusts 40 to 50 miles per hour, from minneapolis, through cincinnati, that will impact cleveland, chicago, detroit if you're traveling and pittsburgh. windy weather throughout much of the day. scattered showers and thunderstorms in the southeast, and wet weather for the northwest. stay tuned.

what more are you looking for? >> i come from a private business world and i think what all of us look for is when we put managers in to watch the cash registers for us and you find out this is going on, this is a culture of spending seems to be way out of control and what we're going to look for is what was the business model here? what is your style of management, how could this happen when americans are tightening their belts, why would you have an agency that was supposed to be responsible wasting hard-earned american taxpayer money. hopefully we'll find out, things will allow us to look at other agencies say if this is going on in the gsa what's going on in other agencies. >> jeff nealy, our viewers may not know his name but he'll be well-known as the scandal continues to unfold, he is the man in charge of throwing this lavish affair. he has said i'm told that he's going to take the fifth this afternoon in order to not incriminate himself. can you confirm that? >> i can't confirm that but that would be disappointing. the american taxpayers deserve to know what's going on with the money they spend in washington. if washington can't spend it the right way why would americans continue to say it's okay and send the money. i can't tell you how disappointing that would be for myself and members of the committee but the american people. we need to know there's people in washington, d.c., that we sent to represent us keeping an eye on that and if we can't do that, why are we here? >> to your point earlier there's been a lot of talk and i've spoken to some of your fellow committee members and i've been told this personally when i'm on the hill, this is just the tip of the iceberg in what's going on here with gsa. what more is there? what more are you looking for? >> i think what we're looking is in any way possible is this money being spent responsibly and we get back to somebody has to have oversight on this. our committee, under chairman issa has been looking at almost everything that taxpayer money is spent on. taxpayers deserve the right to know their money is being spent the right way and need to know they can trust what's spent. that's their job to make sure they're being spent the right way. what else could there be? there are so many agencies and bureaucracies, these folks have to answer to somebody, that's our job in ogr, going after every possible penny question find being wasted especially at a time when you're borrowing 42 cents of every dollar you spend. can we be this cavalier, this careless with taxpayer money and say i'm not going to incriminate myself and answer this? why did you not have the stomach to do what was right in the job you should have resigned early on. they should have blown the whistle on themselves. american families are not going on vacation this is summer and not doing things they have to do because they have to tighten their budgets, tighten their belts. we have to expect and taxpayers have the right to know that we're watching out for them. >> congressman, real quick, we're always out of time and i have so many more questions. who do you ultimately hold responsible for this? >> somebody who is in charge, the secretary is there and if she isn't aware of what's going on she should be aware of people she placed in charge to watch this. the bigger picture what's going on in the rest of the government. i ran a business, i expect my managers to watch the cash register, i expect my managers to watch what they're doing with the business's funds. i expect anybody at any of the agencies to do the best job they can do for the taxz papayer. if we can't do that, then you should resign and go home if you don't have the stomach and backbone to do what's right. >> i expect this will be a very interesting and fiery hearing on capitol hill today. congressman, thank you for joining me today. >> thanks, kate, have a great day. >> he's certainly fired up now. soledad o'brien joins us with a look at what is ahead on "starting point." i have you next to me. >> i know, i like it. lots going on, what treasury secretary tim geithner has said with a big question, is there a war on women?
