Massive traffic jam was orchestrated at the George Washington bridge to force an endorsement of the local mayor. Governor Chris Christie wasted no time in firing the staffer and adapting the worsening scandal headon with the media. I had no knowledge or involvement in this issue or its planning or execution and i am heartbroken that someone that i permitted to be in that circle of trust for the last five years betrayed my trust. I am responsible for what happened. I am sad to report that the people of new jersey, that we fell short. Lou a liberal media when faced with democratic controversy road into action qukly, going after the governor who is the head of the National Governors association and a preeminent potential candidate. Abc and cbs and nbc let their morning shows with stories about the politically inspired new jersey traffic jams and governor Chris Christies political fortunes. Lou in addition to all of this come in the Washington Post and the New York Times and the Chicago Tribune and the Los Angeles Times and the New York Daily News and time magazine. Devoting their front pages and cover stories to speculation about the impact on governor Chris Christiend his possible president ial hopes and chances. And this includes a clear preference for one political party. And we have devoted inordinately more coverage than they gave to the obama irs scandal over the past six months. The republicans are calling for the removal of the Justice Department officials leading the investigation into that irs targeting scandal. This comes after lawmakers learned that Trial Attorney is actually an obama donor who donated this money and hundreds of dollars to the democratic party. In a letter to the Justice Department, jim jordan and darrell issa say that it is a startling conflict of interest and that the investigation has now been compromised. We still were astonished that they would be so tone deaf as to have a major figure in this investigation, being someone that is so obviously close to the president politically. Lou the Justice Department defending its choice, saying they are not allowed to consider political affiliations or leanings when handing out assignments. And president obama promised to investigate the irs and the apparent targeting of conservative groups last may. More information on the benghazi whitewash. The state department renewed the lease for the u. S. Compound and ungodly just two months before the september 11 terrorist attack. That in part because the state designated the compound as a temporary structure and facility, allowing it to be exempted from Security Standards and a new poll out shows the majority of americans now believe the Obama Administration deliberately misled the American People about events surrounding the American Ambassador in libya and ungodly. Thats an 11 part increase from a poll taken three months after the attack. And those who say that they misled the obama white house, 59 are independent. And much more ahead tonight. The president s leadership on iraq and afghanistan challenged by his former defense secretary. The majority of the senate objected to the president s views and strategy on iran.

Also tonight, the brandnew book the new school makes the bold prediction that the internet will save the American Education system from itself. And others. In the obamacare debacle. Yes, it goes on. Mark udall of colorado is under fire for allegedly pressuring state Health Officials to offer negative obamacare numbers. Last november at the officials estimated that nearly a quarter of a million folks in colado have their policies canceled as a result of obamacare. But the senator reportedly pushed the division of insurance to reduce that number to 73,000. By touting those who were given the option of renewing their policy. His staff writes that we need to move on this asap. Or we will be forced to challenge the 249,000 number ourselves. It is wildly off or very misleading and reporters keep repeating it. Saying that even if some customers were given the option of renewing policies, it doesnt change the fact that they received cancellation notices.

Lou a majority of senators, 53 of them to be exact, define the obama white house. They support a bill before i ran and failing to curb its nuclear program. In debating the measure, the white house is threatening to veto any legislation that does precisely what these 53 senators intend. And white house aides say that preside obama may utline changes to the National Security agency Surveillance Program as early as next week. The president is expected to rein in spying and surveillance in may were strapped the nsa access and president obama today met with congressional leaders at the white house to talk about his plans for the agency and amongst those attending chairman bob good law. He says that president obama must act to regain the confidence of the American People. He believes that some of these programs should continue. Especially with the meta data in Storage Program and he needs to give specific reasons why that is needed. Lou tomorrow the white house staff will be meeting with representatives from Technology Companies on the very same issue. Joining us now is a member of the Armed Services committee. It is the daddy with us. Lets start with the president s announcement that he is going to alter the boundaries and other constraints on the nsa. What is your reaction . We have to have some boundaries of what the nsa is doing. Th concern that we have right now is that the president and this administration has lost so much credibility. I was talking to many members of congress. We are not certain what the administration is doing and what they are not doing. And are you spying on members of congress and that was a chip shot an easy answer. And so i think as he said in the last report, this president has long ways to go to restore confidentiality and confidence to the American People. Lou the confidence boosted with the revelations from former defense secretary bob gates and his new book in which he reveals and id like to share this and put this on a full screen if i may. He says i sat there with the president and secretary clinton and the president doesnt trust his commander. Cant stand president karzai and doesnt consider the war to be his. And for him it is all about getting out. They president and the perception of a entagon chief who doesnt trust his commander and allied and has no faith in his own strategy. This is an amazing amount of eyewitness history. It is bigger than that. The president s domestic policies have been so much a part of this that we forget how bad the Foreign Policy has been. You will find where he is and in this particular situation we see a member of his own cabinet as someone who said thank goodness that the secretary is at the home. And he comes up and says two crucial things. The Vice President of the United States has been wrong in every situation on Foreign Policy. And that is what our allies have been saying. And that is what the eight Armed Services committee has been saying. Especially when we look at Foreign Policy that is being implemented. Lou i dont know of a time in American History in which it has been said of a commander in chief and our troops are in arms way carrying out that commanders orders. Especially when it has not been said by the president s own secretary of defense and someone that he has embraced and said that this is just the man that we need. That is a huge indictment and one that i think is resonating with a lot of people who have been looking at this issue. And that is pretty heavy evidence to conclude that the president is threatening the foreignpolicy ramapo. Lou turning if i may to another part of the president s Foreign Policy. That is ungodly. More than half of americans now believe and they have been stonewalled for all of these months, refusing to divulge the fact of the matter. So what more can the United States congress to to bring forth the truth . We are going to continue to do it. Because the American People understand that even the president of the United States can make mistakes in his administration can make mistakes and what they expect from the president and the commanderinchief is one those mistakes have been made to have an honest discussion of them and to act quickly and decisively tos say what happened to correct those mistakes. And forgive me for interrupting. But congress is on the verge of contributing to the problem. 80 of the country says theyre headed in the wrong direction and congress has a horrific approval rating, as does the president , which is actually higher by some measures the night of congress. Why is there not a select committee eing formed that we be told what has happened in scandal after scandal and the Internal Revenue service and ungodly and the fast and furious, department of justice, the list is long and the response from the white house is the same. Silence and a very cold stone wall. As you know, the congressman actually had legislation to do just that. I joined with him in that legislation and i am continually opening that that legislation will be approved. But the second thing is while the president does have the power, the senate has backed him up on this and i think its starting to resonate with the American People. We are seeing it poll after poll but now they to question the credibility and they just dont trust him. And that is the major problem that this administration has right now. Lou congressman, we thank you, as always. I also take up the president s foreign policies approaches and failures in my new book called up evil. You can get your copy at all over the country.

Lou that attack was part of iraqi forces taking over places that were run by al qaeda. And another Foreign Policy failure for this administration in afghanistan. The Afghan Government leasing 72 prisoners that the United States had insisted were involved in common doesnt of troops. Afghan Officials Say there isnt enough evidence and decided to release them from the prism. My next guest has read the entire robert gates book and says the former defense secretary released the book trying to prevent the events in iraq in afghanistan. Also if fox news military analyst. General, what are your thoughts upon reading the book, which puts you in a very rare five class. Well, first of all, it is refreshingly honest as a memoir. Because he doesnt leave himself out. He admits all the mistakes that he made in some of them are serious. Usually dont find those very much because he talks time and again about the troops and the personal responsibility that he bears for their safety and welfare and also the fact that when he entered his 50 year he thought his emotions were clouding his judgment. The other thing is obviously something that everyone is talking about so much. It comes across loud and clear in the narrative and that is the fact that the white house, led by Vice President biden was undermining the decisions that were made to execute the war in afghanistan with a new strategy. And that is just outrageous and its quite appalling to read it. It rings out to you when you read those excerpts and everything that they provide in the book is pretty significant. Lou if you will come expand on that. Well, what happened was that as it was detailed, the president made a decision not to accept the Vice President s recommendation on the war strategy for afghanistan and accepted the recommendation similar to the success that we were achieving in iraq and afghanistan and also Additional Forces to execute that from the beginning after the decision was made. The Vice President and others did all that they could to assist that strategy, claiming it was failing and were undermining the ability of general Stanley Mcchrystal to execute it. And that was quite interesting and somewhat unprecedented to see that kind of behavior from such high officials. A lot is going to flow from this from the white house. We will be watching the expected damage control and much damage as you suggest. And i think that they will have already been a part of his. The credibility and the National Security, i cant give you a the reading on it. But it is tarnished from what anyone could imagine even a year ago. That being said, we are watching the violence there that is overwheing. And right now many sources tell us that al qaeda has a presence in iraq and gives it control of more territory than ever before. And well they in fact succeed in this judgment . I do not know. But i do know that this is a very serious problem and they have seized fallujah. And this is where the sunni insurgency began back in 2003. But the facts are that al qaeda was defeated and they admitted it in 2009 and they said we are done. The fact of the matter is a lot of the policies with them, the lack of that and the lack of troops, and has invited al qaeda and embolden them. So they now have a swath of territory and they are not looking at that border is being meaningful but a major safe haven for them in the region. And this is significant for us in the u. S. Interests and our own security. Lou how significant is it. The president s statements, the white house is letting us know that the president is raining in surveillance with congressional leaders. What are your thoughts . I believe that what the nsa has been doing has been right on the mark. And i do not believe that they are violating the civil liberties. If theyre going to pull back from that, what will give in there is the people will be less secure and more vulnerable. And i think thats definitely a mistake. Lou general, its good to talk to you. Thank you for being here. Thank you. Take care. Much more on the criticisms of the Obama Administration in the form policy. We take it up next and we are coming right back.
