An Islamic Terrorist Group is claiming responsibility for the mass kidnapping. The group leader is threatening to sell the girls as brides. These children have been missing for three weeks now and their parents are blaming the nigerian government. Take a listen to this. They are not doing
anything up to now. They have been promising up that these girls have been found but up to this moment i am talking nothing has been done. No single military security personnel have gone to look for these girls as i am talking now. That Extremist Group has been terrorizing nigeria with bombings and gunning down those going toc church. Back here at home, in a fewc hours from now the three daredevil base jumpers who were caught on camera parachuting off the new World Trade Center building will head to court today.

Following last weeks tornado, a woman in north alabama discovers a wedding gown lying in a field of debris, and shes now trying to find out who this gown belongs to.

A local dry khraoeurpbc cleaner is offering to make that dress look like new and hoping it will be returned toxe its rightful
owner. How about that . They probably thought it was gone forever. Hope they get it back. Tweet us if you have any ideas. Whisk. The big news yesterday is there will be a chairman of this Benghazi Select Committee that was announced on friday, thanks to speak boehner saying ive been won over. The facts are out there and we dont have enough of them. I need somebody in charge. With a prosecution background, just in his second term and somebody trey gowdy, the guest at the washington Correspondents Dinner of Greta Van Susteren will get the nod. Right away there is a problem. He needs to get all the evidence front and center and there is already a major memo not out yet. There is passion when it comes to trey gowdy trying to get to the bottom of what happened at benghazi. He sat with greta van
susteren talking about what his goals are. Why no rescue of movement once they knew there was an attack . Why is the truth so hard to get from this administration . But he said in fact you cant get the truth without the facts. Right; steve . Thats right. I want to see every single solitaryc relevant, material document. In fact, i want to see everything for which there can be any argument that it is relevant, and then we can judge whether or not its material. You cant draw conclusions if you dont have all the facts. What this committee is going to do is once and for all lay out all the facts and then your jury can draw whatever inferences and conclusions they want to. Washington is its own ecosystem. They wouldnt like it if i cured malaria tonight because im a republican. Of course theyre going to be critical. Thats not the jury. Thatsc right. There are a lot of fairminded people who want the answers. There are some partisans. We heard from jay carney yesterday. The white house is on the defense now. The press briefing yesterday was dominated by questions about benghazi and thats the last thing the white house wants to talk about. They want to talk about Global Warming and stuff like that. There is a new fox news poll out should congress continue to investigate benghazi until somebody is held accountable. 60 of you say yes. A quarter say absolutely not. Meanwhile when it comes to benghazi and the Obama Administration, is the administration trying to cover up, 61 of you say yes. Are they being open and transparent . Only about a quarter of you say yes. The key to this whole thing is whether or not the Mainstream Media are going to cover it going forward. If there are bombshells, its going to be hard not to cover. Heres one. There is anc email that gowdy and i think everybody out there should want, i believe, because in the email, according to captain heritage, there is a little subject line where it says essentially fox
news, semi colon, u. S. Attack ws terrorism within 24 hours. That is the story we had. Were running with it. You know what that does, subject line is, that is an internal email sent throughout the white house which demonstrates a sevenpage strategy how to deal with people like fox news, captain heritage in particular, bret baier, adam housely leading the charge when it comes to this investigation. You would think if you have a counter strategy to that maybe within the counter strategy you might have pathway to the truth. It is important to know trey gowdy was originally hired under the Clinton Administration in South Carolina for the a. G. s office there. He said himself this should transcend politics. We should be demanding the truth as americans, but americans should be demanding the truth because the families of those who were so viciously killed deserve it. Bottom line. Youre right. National review today has a great online column that says why benghazi matters. And heres one part of it. It says the white house
misled the American Public about a critical piece of national interest, and it continues to practice deceit as the facts of the case are sorted out. That to answer Hillary Clintons callous question, is what difference it makes. So stand by. Trey gowdy is thec guy. Theyre going to start releasing the rules on how theyre going to do it in the next day or two. Look for 10 to 20 members being named. Im curious to see if democrats are going to be in there. Are they going to obstruct . Are they going to participate . That will decide how this thing will go. Were going to shift over to another story. You remember the Scarlet Knights . Their Commencement Speaker in prior years was snooki. I believe she made 32,000. She was eup sraoeuted on campus to give a speech. Condoleezza rice was actually asked to come and to thec president s credit and many in the school, they supported her being there. But there was a group, sort of an infectious cell, professors and students,
who protested the fact that Condoleezza Rice would actually be there on campus based purely on her politics. They just didnt like the fact that she was in the bush administration. And so these members of the intolerant left, they had, i think they had a sitin. They took over an office, they had protests stuff like that. Eventually condi rice, the president of Rutgers University didnt ask her to change her mind. Condi rice said this is not the time for me to show up. Karl rove last night was on. Hes worked with condi. He rips rutgers, deservedly so. Shame on the little totalitarian to the left and their faculty agent who perpetuatedc this. This is Political Correctness gone nuts. Im sorry that a small group of misguided students and a nutty organic professor had their way. This was politically motivated, politically aimed, ideologically aimed
and stupid. They didnt even have their facts right. Hypocritical and stupid. Fox friends learned exclusively on saturday, actually friday to the announcement saturday morning, you see the fact that the former secretary of state National Security advisor said i dont mind showing up, i dont mind awkward situations but imc an academic person at heart and if i am taking the spotlight from kids who worked so hard, from the faculty, that would bother me if i became a sideshow and took the spotlight away. She decideed to step away. As was brought up later by karl rove, i think it is bad news for Hillary Clinton, bad news for john kerry, bad news for president clinton because anyone who supported the iraq war would not qualify to be speakers at Rutgers University. As somebody who has somebody going to college at 17, if he had chosen rutgers, i would absolutely change my mind. The same way i would feel if Madeleine Albright was told you dont come down because i dont agree with
the bosnia operation. I dont think we should have gotten involved there. The whole list of people you suggested, brian, if it applies to her, it applies to them. No, because theyre all onc the left. Then the criteria is wrong. Where is the outcry . Honestly, where is the outcry . Shes not black enough . Shes not female enough . Where are the women . Did they make statements consistently. She grew up in the segregated south who emerged as secretary of state, i think that should be celebrated. You dont skwrublg the party shes in. I think you judge the person she is. Not liberal enough. How many times have we heard ifc youre protesting barack obama, you dont like him because hes black. You are a racist. Is racism at play here . We hope not. We told you the store about rutgers player eric le
grant. He was paralyze. He got the call on friday condi rice is going to be our speaker. Youre going to be our Commencement Speaker and he thought fantastic, until monday when the Athletic Director called and said we have changed our mind. They decided to go other ways for political reasons. They asked tom kaine, the former republican governor of the great state of new jersey, to stand in instead. Unbelievable. Rutgers looks terrible. That is not making anything look better. Made it worse. One of the nations largest veterans groups demanding the fire the v. A.

Amid allegations of deadly delays in medical care for veterans, one of the nations largest veterans groups now taking the rare step of calling for the resignation of top v. A. Officials. Yesterdays announcement marks the first time in more than 20 years that the American Legion called for leadership change at the v. A. Pete hegseth is the c. E. O. Of concerned americans for veterans and fox news contributor. His Organization Called for Eric Shinseki to resign more than a year ago. Good morning, pete. Good morning, elisabeth. Your reaction in certainly calling for this is important. It is. Its a powerful move. I may lead concerned veterans for america but im also a proud legion member of over ten years. Yesterday was a proud day to see an organization like that, the single largest Veterans Organization in america, take a courageousc
stand to say weve worked with this v. A. Secretary, we want the v. A. To work but hes failing us and his time is up. Since 1941 for a secretary level cabinet member. That was a labor secretary. This is a huge step and i think a game changer for reform at the department of Veterans Affairs. The white house cannot afford to ignore this. This step, i think, will open doors for others who have been saying it privately to step out with it. What will this mean moving forward . Obviously you can try to solve the problem by cutting the head off thec snake. But in terms of fixing the issue, what now will occur . I think first you have to send a clear example that accountability and leadership matters. Thats why the firing of shinseki will be that clear signal after six years a of Veterans Affairs uez to deliver. That is only one aspect of it. That is why were supporting the v. Management accountability act. The legion supports this act which will empower the next v. A. To fire bad managers, those leading hospitals and benefits facilities that have backlogs and wait times and preventible detectives, all the things we have been reading about in the news in phoenix and colorado, all the things your show has highlighted powerfulfully. That v. A. Secretary has to be able to hold people accountable. Lets start with shinseki, put the tools in the next guy and get busy reforming v. A. You havec an exclusive new message from concerned veterans with america that you want to share with us. It is the first time. Take a listen. A broken system, a culture of indifference, veterans are waiting and dying because of massive delays at v. A. Instead of fixing the veterans from getting adequate care, administrators engage in elaborate coverups. Investigateors found v. A. Creates two waiting lists
demand accountability. Tell harry reid to stand withc our veterans and support accountability at the v. A. So im asking why harry reid . Harry reid is going to be the key aspect in accountability. The house of representatives and Speaker Boehner already indicated theyre going to
