Minister. The white house did admit the president hasnt called netanyahu to congratulate him. Apparently, a call of some sort to the now four term Prime Minister will be made within the ambigguously phrase, coming days. Meanwhile the white house pettiness on further display accusing netanyahus lakid party of using antiarab rhetoric in the campaign ahead of the election. White House Press Secretary josh earnest telling reporters quote, the United States and his administration is deeply concerned about rhetoric that seeks to marginalize arab israeli citizens. Well, well well. Earnest didnt congratulate the Prime Minister on the large turnout of arab voters in the election. In fact, he didnt offer congratulations of any kind. But that arab turnout, that arab palestinian turnout, more than tripled from the previous election. Thats right. Earnest forgot to mention that a fifth of israels population is made up of arab and palestinians. The arabs took 14 seats in the election. Well be taking this up including negative response to the election results, not only by the president and many democrats, but the National Liberal media as well. What does it all portend for the u. S. Israel relationship . Well be talking with u. S. Congressman lee zelden, the cochair of the caucus. Turning to the woman who would be president the clinton email scandal is worsening. The state department admitting it has no record of whether Hillary Clinton ever signed a required official exit form saying she had surrendered all her records as secretary of state. We have reviewed secretary clintons official personnel file and administrative files, and do not have any record of her signing the of 109. In addition after looking into the official personnel files, we did not locate any record of her immediate predecessors signing this form. That admission required some patience on the part of the media and some days. The state Department Spokesperson spent a week dodging questions about the document. She has been asked it was more than two years ago. I dont have an update on that specific question at this point. I dont have an update on that. You expect to be able to answer that question . I hope to. I dont have an update on this matter. Were still working on. How hard can it be were looking to get an answer. I dont have an answer today. We keep records. I dont have enough data on this particular question today. Well, we got our update. We take up the controversial and the implications for 2016. Well be talking with republican strategist karl rove here. Also the head of the secret service doesnt know what his agents are doing or why. Presenting or more scandal, telling congress what he needs is more money to build a fake white house so his agents can protect the real one. The secret Service Scandal the subject of my commentary. We begin with netanyahus victory. President obama yet to congratulate him. Instead delegating the task to that to secretary cer a e. Three other allies have offered congratulations including the Prime Ministers of britain, canada and indianaia. Joining us is a member of the House Foreign Affairs and veterans committee. He is cochair of the hows republican caucus. Al good to have you with us. The polls were wrong, talking with the former ambassador to the United States. states. He said the polls are always wrong in israel. This is really a decisive victory. What does it mean for israel its National Security and the policies theyll follow Going Forward . Well, the Prime Minister clearly is very strong on National Security. Thats what drove him to come address a joint session of congress on march 3rd. So the israelis as they were going out to vote for prioritizing different issues. Some people the economy, housing or the latest ethics attack. Al what ruled the day is that they chose to give Prime Minister netanyahu another term in office. A strong leader who is going to fight hard to protect his National Security. As well as insure there is no daylight whatsoever between americans and israelis despite our president s best efforts to create that daylight. There is, clearly, a lot of daylight between president obama and Prime Minister netanyahu. The president at this point, seems committed to if you will, a classless response to his victory. Are you concerned that there will be repercussions from the president because to witness this kind of behavior there may be no bounds to the pettiness that is possible here. It really looked like from the nonfor profits that were overseas, the activities of many members of team obamas leadership in organizing for america leadership, they were trying to put together some type of an a Corn Community organizing effort in israel. They weretriving to drive up the turnout amongst arab israelis. I think our president wasnt celebrating the israeli elections yesterday. At the end of the day, it doesnt matter what the president of the United States thinks, he does not have a vote in the israeli elections. It was up to the israeli people. They want Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to continue serving. You know so that our viewers are aware, you and senator ted cruz have written a letter to secretary of state kerry inquiring about what in the world is going on with one voice. You wrote the letter on the 29th. Asking about the tax exempt status of the organization. Five days later a Corporation Service Company Registered a new funding entity called peace works. Do you think theres a causal relationship there . The investigation into whats going on between this administration and electoral politics in israel begins . That was no coincidence a few days after senator cruz and i sent that letter to the state department that that new entity was filed. We ended up receiving a partial response to some of our questions from secretary kerry. The answers created more questions. For example we wanted to know more about state department providing funding to one voice. The state Department Said that their last grant was filed was issued august of 2014. The purpose of which was to support peace negotiations with palestine. The problem is those peace negotiations ended in april of 2014. And one voice isnt the only nonprofit u. S. 501 c 3 Charitable Organization that was there. Another organization had a 3 million pitch for donations to support their effort in israel. They were bragging about their work with Obama Campaign staffers. This runs deep. We happen at least a dozen and a half former Obama Campaign team staffers, these werent people who were volunteering to make calls or knock on doors. These are people who had roles of leadership in that effort. This is something i have a lot of confidence that the the more that you dig, the deeper you go the more that youll find. You know congressman, turning to iran very quickly, the administration coming back against senator corker warning his legislation, his efforts to put forward a requirement for congressional senatorulates specifically involvement in approval with iran would interfere with negotiations. This is reaching absurd proportions. The American People are witnessing this farce take place. It makes no sense to anyone in the media who has any kind of an only objective eye about our constitution. What in the world is going to unfold here next . Well the president i have a lot of respect for the office of president of the United States. But the president is not also congress. He views himself too often as a monarch. The United States constitution, which we all took up an oath to up hold and defend just because the president calls a deal with iran an executive agreement doesnt mean that you can subvert the constitution and not give congress the ability tool weigh in. Does it confound you congressman, that at the same time you and republicans are saying these things youre insisting the president have trade Promotion Authority that would permit him to proceed with the Transpacific Partnership treaty without congressional oversight. Which by the way, hes denied sunlight. Sunshine being permitted upon the pages of those documents for the agreement. The imperial presidency wasnt created by obama. Hes taking it as he put it by his expanded powers beyond anything previously envisioned. This has been republicans and democrats alike creating this vast imperial presidency that is now imperious. As far as the tpa legislation, it has not yet been filed. Im waiting to see it so i can see what it looks like. Whats very important, is that any type of legislation that is filed now, does not take away congresss ability to have the Authority Still to approve or deny any type of a trade agreement later. I support free trade. I believe that congress should weigh in to put out parameters as to whats acceptable or not. Congress should not relinquish its authority. Thats important really with the devil you would deny the president , this president or any other trade Promotional Authority or Fast Track Authority . I think that we have to see what the legislation says. I personally support trade legislation. Wait, youre usually a straightforward fellow. What i want to understand. Is would you support trade Promotion Authority for this president . Would you, as a republican do you believe there is an appetite in your party to pull back and diminish the imperial powers of the presidency even with a republican in office . Specifically, about trade legislation to answer your question, i want to be able to support tpa legislation, which would be congress laying out parameters as to what the limits are on the president s authority in any of the negotiations with the trade representative. So to answer your question, i want to be able to support tpa legislation. I want to see it first to make sure that there is no details in it that i would have a problem with. And, again, its important that any legislation that is filed does not take away congresss authority afterwards to either approve or deny it. I want to support it. Congressman good to have you with us. Thank you so much. The president once promised to run the most open and transparent presidency in our history. Right now it looks as though his administration has achieved the inverse. The Obama Administration this week officially sealed sealed, not opened the activities of the White House Office of administration. Saying that it was not subject to the freedom of information act request. Iran ironically yesterday was National Freedom of information day. National freedom of information day. The white house certainly has a sense of irony, doesnt it . This week is officially sunshine week. An annual week to promote open accountable government. Whoops. Two days ago, the usa today editorial wrote a piece saying officials rur slow walking freedom of information requests. They said obama is the boss of bure rockacy. If he wants that message to get through the entire government he needs to make it a priority. I thought there was a news bulletin in there. I didnt know he was encouraging openness. I would call the board a distinguished board of openness. Did she determine whether hillary c get fastacting, longlasting relief from heartburn with it neutralizes stomach acid and is the only product that forms a protective barrier that helps keep stomach acid in the stomach where it belongs. For fastacting, longlasting relief. Try gaviscon®. The state department claiming it is quote, fairly certain that Hillary Clinton did not sign a separation agreement requiring all work related materials be turned over when she left. Moments earlier the white house couldnt even say who those agreements applied to. I understand the white house that it applies to everybody in terms of the white house. I dont know whether it applies to the president and Vice President i guess. In terms of staff who work here, i do know they have to sign those kinds of agreements. Joining us former deputy chief of staff car rovekarl rove. Is any part of you laughing at this rather clumsy effort on the part of this administration, the state department, the White House Communications department . Yeah it is. But its also a little disturbing. Look, she didnt sign the document and it took them how many days to figure that out . Then they tried to say well colin powell didnt. Heres the deal what we ought to stay focused on is in 2004 there were state Department Regulations that laid out how you could conduct your business. That she violated by setting up her own private server and email account on that server to handle government business. Those were reaffirmed and expanded in 2009. She is violating a fundamental principal which is the communications involving the state department documents. Harold cole general counsel for the state department was asked by a newspaper did she ask you for legal advice or whether or not this was appropriate. He refused to answer. Hes back to being a professor at yale university. She did not get legal advice sthads you cannot do that. She went off on her own and is leading American People in the lurch by denying access to these communications whileshy was in secretary of state. If they would have been treated as a government document they were government documents. They came in the form of eelectrons, not molecules. I have to say whatever the document is called, it seems a couple of things. Of 109. Of 109. It seems to me, theres a simple matter here. That those emails are government property. Absolutely. And the fact she has them in in her possession there shouldnt be hesitation in her turning over those emails. Ive got to say congressman trey gowdy is being a sporting and generous fellow giving her two weeks to produce. This is just to me, a marvel of absurdity. Yeah. And shes thumbing her nose at her own president s declaration of transparency. Shes thumbing her nose at the statiates of the United States government governing the National Archive and the records of our elected officials. Remember, she invoked those regulations regarding emails when she over her own signature removed a u. S. Ambassador in part because she established his own private email records. What kind of hypocrisy is that . What kind of fools does she take us to be . The fools that we often play, i think, is the fair answer. The other part of that is, the state department is like a separate government unto itself. A billion emails in one year they kept about 62,000 emails. Who is making that judgment and why isnt that a violation, a significant violation of federal regulation and law . And then to permit this nonsense of secretaries of state walking out the door without filling out g 190 did you fill it out. One of the last thing yz did about 3 00 in the afternoon before i left. I dont know if the document is exactly the statement for the white house, but it is a document that has to attest i dont know if it has the same number, but its the same principal. You have to attest youre not taking anything with you that hasnt been approved for withdrawal with you. If you take it with you you have to leave a copy with the government. Do you know how much news we could have make right there . By the way folks to be clear we do not rehearse questions or answers or discussions or topics. Al if you had said you hadnt signed it that would have been the headline tomorrow in the washington post. I wouldnt have been able to leave. You dont get your final pichuck at the white house until you sign your document and turn in all your materials and equipment. We passed the National Archives act in the 19th century in order to keep the secretaries of departments from leaving with the papers. Some had sold them. Documents made their way into the public sphere because they sold them. This was deliberately designed to epicoo from happening what Hillary Clinton did. These Communications May be official in somebodys mind but theyre person and i i get to decide whats personal. How unclinton ess of the secretary of state. President obama blaming bush for the rise of the Islamic State. Listen to the president this time. Isil is a direct outgrowth of al qaeda in iraq. That grew out of our invasion. Which is an example of unintended consequences, which is why we should generally aim before we shoot. Weve got a 60 country coalition. We will slowly push back isil out of iraq. Im confident that will happen. I dont know the interviewers name thats on vice, by the way, but i do admire his as the president spoke, uhhuh. Im going to practice that. Uhhuh. The Islamic State grew out of the iraq invasion unbelieve. Or as we say, uhhuh. The secret Service Director cant answer what he needs to do to fix his embattleled and dysfunctional agency but he sure does know how much it will cost. Well lay it
