>> first of all, i have no knowledge of this sto. secondly, i am sure that the white house is not preventing anyone from speaking. >> reporter: asked why the affirmation was only surfacing now, the state department spokeswoman seemed to set down the question. >> we have been very clear about this from the beginning. >> reporter: we get a search of the transcripts to facts check. our surge produced less than ten minutes. none of them provided the same level of detail that we got today. and aside from the state department employees, the cia had two dozen personnel on the ground. we still don't know how many of them were injured in the attack. now told that there will be congressional pressure for the agency to make its survivors available to investigators as well. lou: thank you very much. as always. national rifle association ceo slamming the obama administration is gun-control efforts and took on vice-president biden far bid's recent comments that a shotgun is better than as semiautomatic rifle for self-dense. >> for four decades you have enjoyed the armed protection of capitol poce and secret service officers, all while trying to destroy the second amendment rights for the rest of us. so when it comes to that right, sir, you keep your advice. we will keep our guns. [applause] lou: is it -- it is important enough to this day he and the nra are the only ones to have proposed an effective means by which to include -- improve safety in our schools and protect our children. the comments come one day after an assault weapons ban cleared the senate judiciary committee on a party-line vote, what does the future hold? we will find out. joining me now, co-host of the five. fox news political analyst and columnist for the help. thank you both for being here. i think it is fascnating to at the headf the nra, remember how people scoffed. now -- and the president's golfing away. now he is the only one who has put forward a proposal that actually makes sense and that would be effective. >> it's true, and when you look at the public opinion polling, over 63 percent of americans think that armed guards and schools are good idea. in fact, sandy hook made that same decision to do just that. i think schools should be able decide whaver they want, whenever is best for their school. that is the best way to do it. the senate hearing between feinstein and crews, that back-and-forth was just, i thought shameful. when she said, isn't that enough? don't you have enough guns to make a tough, isn't that their argument for everything? isn't enough money? isn't it enough health care? don't you have enough already? can you let us control you even more? and that is what they're trying to do. lou: is that what you think they're trying to do? >> not at all. i mean, i guess, you know, what they said basically was everybody should have a gun everywhere, including a round are most vulnerable citizens to our children. i just think not only do i think that is silly but it is not effective. you look back at places like columbine. there was an armed guard, and he was shotnd killed. you know what, it is not a guarantee of any security, added security for our children are safety. yesterday i had exactly the opposite reaction. you know, i thought he was condescending and reared. you think about what dianne feinstein went through as mayor of san francisco where she saw people slaughtered in her own office. i mean, it. >>ow is it condescending and root? piaster a very simple question about the plication of the second amendment to the first amendment. he did it in a very respectful tone, and i will tell you this, as a woman i would have not been offended command a definitely would have not played the victim card and said i tell patronize the way that she did. she should have answered the question, not let the other boys on the senate committee, a third offense. she could not answer the question because she was trapped in hypocrisy on the constitution . liberals hate being asked about the constitution. they jump around. >> i don't think she was trapped at all. impact might think she responded quite directly in saying that the idea of we, the people, you know, being covered by guns and then also as it applies to the fourth amendment, there was a difference. there were exemptions, and these tensions he spoke of was no one is trying to take away these guns. all we're saying here is that when it comes to these automatic weapons which are better fit for the battlefield, why -- lou: semiautomatic. semiautomatics. >> semiautomatic, automatic. these are warfare weapons. why is that necessary for the average american -- >> you tell me something. is it better to blow a giant 12 insult through somebody's head with a shotgun or is 15 shots better? which one? really. this is what we're getting into. it's silly. lou: it's a war weapon. lou: let me interject. the most recent shooting in new york. four people killed by shotguns. are shotguns to be the next weapon? are we going to at some point here the democrats will start talking about mental health, dealing with those issues because whether it is columbine, whether it is or, tucson, sandy hook, the constant issue and most important issue is the mental health of theeperson, the deranged person who is firing the gun. why is that not the emphasis and the premise of all legislative action in washington d.c. rather than guns? rifles killed fewer people to as you know, then hammers and clubs in this country. >> said that you are going to say handguns' command you would have been exactly right in that case as well as. lou: i am exactly right in the butt of serious. i would like to know what you say to that. >> well, you know, the fact is that when you look at the weapons that are being used, you want to say, look, here is something we can do that is effective because when you speak specifically of mental health there is no way we're going to provide mental health services to everyone who is arranged. what we want to do is to try to limit access to these extreme weapons that allow them then to go into a movie theater or schoolhouse and commit this massacre. >> but the largest terrorist attack on the soil home was committed with fertilizer. and the largest killer of children is swimming pools. i know you say assault weapons or weapons. every weapon could be considered a weapon of war at some point in history. at the new makes a great point about mental health anthe breakdown of the family. this is something you always talk about. president obama would be the perfect person. >> time writing something like that right now as an op-ed piece because i think the family breakdown is critical, but don't belittle the argument. we have had a rash of massacres in this country. the american people see it. that is why we have finally said, was slick is something reasonable, background checks, closing the gun show loophole. why are we as an american people throwing up our arms. >> we have used up a great deal of time on this and will have to move on. lou: i have to say, no one is dismissing this issue. it is really important that we not be exploited by those who find it politically advantageou to try to strip us of our weapons, and our -- >> i agree with you. lou: if i may. if i may. if i may. the fact of the matter is that this is an issue that requires absolutely careful thought and study. there are people who would reflexively try to deny americans their second amendment rights. to me it is repugnant, and we have to pause and ask why are these people and these groups and, in fact, most of the -- most of the gun controlroups are funded by one guy. his name is, you know, michael bloomberg. let's be straight forward and honest and careful. ushink about the agendas that are being pursued here. we have to do the right thing for the country. of course for our young people. i know that you both agree with me on that. always good to talk. >> thanks. >> thank you. lou: this just in, breaking news the

should be investing in america. we hear about the $2 billion. if we allow additional access to u.s. resources around the country and not stick with the us quo it could be $127 billion every ten years. this is a bit of a small potato when in reality if we had the opportunity to continue to invest in america and drive economic growth will have more jobs and revenues. lou: it is interesting that this president is, if you will, going small on the issue of energy. he's talking about $2 billion in royalties. of course it would come from leases. there would then go to up green energy. we have seen his department of energy just throw weight billions and billions of dollars in taxpayer money on precisely the same kind of projects. there should be, i would think, absolutely zero confidence that the
