Richard shelby will be here. Also the chairman of the House Select Committee on benghazi who says the Obama White House is still stonewalling his committees investigation from the American People congressman trey gotti will be with us and the northeast blizzard that dumped more than two feet of snow in boston is overwhelming parts of new england tonight. Well have the latest straight ahead. Our first guest tonight says sanctions brought the iranians to the negotiation table in the first place and avoiding future sanction says the only incentive for iran to reach an agreement that would prevent them from Building Nuclear weapons. Senator Richard Shelby, good to have you with us senator. Thank you, lou. Lou this is unexpected. Senator bob menendez amongst those. He said clearly a week ago that the president sounded at times as if his talk points were from tehran is now lined up with the president. What do you make of it. I think its obama democratic politics. I would hope that we would come up with a bipartisan approach to sanctions we have in the past, but negotiations have been going on a long time. I think theyre too protracted. I dont know anything good will come out of it. But i think obama is chasing a deal. Hes wanting some kind of deal with iraq, but a bad deal is a bad deal and i think that sanctions worked theyll work harder and thats whats brought iran to the table thus far, and i believe it will keep them at a table and they will pay an awful price. The awful price they paid so far is the return of about 8. 5 billion dollars that have been released from the administration. Most recently under half a billion dollars. Another 3 billion or so to be released before the june deadline as far as deadlines go with iran. Theyre not so quick to honor them or to meet them. What will be the impact . Well youre absolutely right to point that out because thats a big apple or a big carrot thats been given iran to get them to the table, but i dont see any real concrete evidence of iran negotiating in good faith. I think this could be an existential question for israel, our ally in the area. This is serious, Serious Business. Lou very Serious Business as you say. Iran absolutely opposed to the very existence of israel. Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of israel very clear and very eloquent on the issue of how important it is that iran not, not continue to develop its Nuclear Weapons. Where will we see the United States ultimately come down on this . Another deadline comes and goes. Its extended. The next line to be extended. And theres a vote this week where. Does that vote take us . Well i am hoping that what were going to do in the banking committee, which i can speak from thursday, which is just a couple of days from now. Were going to have a markup on some legislation to make it tougher and tougher as far as sanctions are concerned on iran. Thats something the Obama Administration doesnt want. Theyve said, that they put pressure on their fellow democrats not to support it but were going to bring it out and were going to let people vote up or down on it. I hope they will vote the right thing, not the political thing. Lou and the political thing seems to be driving much of this, as the administration continues to suggest that each of the deadlines referred to are simply vague, abstract markers that can shift at any time at the administrations whim or the iranians insistence. March 24 says senator menendez thats as far as hes going to go at least its an unofficial deadline or marker, as you suggested, hes put down. There has to be some sort of concrete progress. Any idea how they would define it . Any idea how you would define it . Well, i would if we had a real comprehensive agreement that would keep iran from building a Nuclear Weapon that would be one thing. I dont believe this is going to happen. I think theyre just stalling for time time, negotiations promises that they wont really ever field, not the serious once. I think that were iran is going to eat our lunch dealing with these negotiations or having no negotiations just string us out. Maybe im wrong. I hope im wrong. I believe history will probably show were probably right. Lou irans Deputy Foreign minister saying he informed israel that there will be consequences to their acts including a strike in which an iranian general was killed. The United States now in the position of carrying messages for the iranians to the israelis . How unseemly it will get . Well its baffling to a lot of us that this administration would not stand up with this ally. They claim they are. But when the sanctions proposals get tough, they want to put them off. They dont want to deal with it now. They want to negotiate more. Weve been negotiating and been negotiating, im afraid that irans going to get what they want, stall for time, and were going to be out in the cold. Lou senator Richard Shelby always good to talk with you. Appreciate it. Lou appreciate you being with us mr. Chairman. Radical islamist terrorists carried out another attack in western targets in the libyan city of tripoli.

The state department preventing Diplomatic Security agents on the ground during the 2012 benghazi attacks preventing them from testifying before congress. Heres a state Department Witness today at the House Select Committee benghazi hearing. We at the state department have concerns, that the request to interviews will pose precisely such risks. We want to avoid interfering with the department of justices ongoing investigations and prosecutions. Lou joining us now, the chairman of the select committee on benghazi. Congressman trey gowdy. Mr. Chairman, good to see you and if you will characterize that answer from the state department, the assistant deputy secretary of state on the witnesses. Well lou, thank you for having me on. Thats just a rote boiler plate response that you get sometimes from the administration that if you want talk to a witness thats going to jeopardize their security or impact an ongoing prosecution, so the first thing you have to say is look, mr. State Department Official we have no interest in jeopardizing anyones security we are not going to do that. You dont need to be concerned about the persons security. Secondarily, i know a little about prosecutions the last thing we want to do is jeopardize our chances of getting a convictions against khatallah. So those are just two kind of boiler plate always in the letter responses you get from the state department neither of which can withstand scrutiny. Lou a lot of people right now are trying to collect themselves after you said the Justice Department was easier to work with than the state department at least in this instance. At the very same time, youre getting 15,000 documents dumped on you this week. Finally a response. Or is it simply is it if you will a bit of a swatback from the administration . Well, its 15,000 documents that no committee of congress has ever had access to lou. When people tell you that all the questions in benghazi have been answered and nothing left to see, why are we just getting access to 15000 documents that no other committee of congress has had access to. And within the 15,000 documents thats going to lead us to make additional requests which says nothing of the witnesses that we have not talked to that we need to talk to. Look at the House Resolution that says all policies all decisions, all activities. The word all is incredibly comprehensive. Thats what we were asked to do. You cannot do that if you dont have access to every document and every witness. I cannot explain the 15,000 out of how many how many more are we entitled to . Lou and the questions go on and the answers are not forthcoming, or if they, what few answers do find their way to your committee from this administration, it just usually commences to more questions. You reached out to the former secretary of state hillary clinton. How far does this go . How energetic . How vigorous will the committee be in this . Well we have been vigilant and energetic, its just been energetic behind closed doors, given the nature of some of the material were dealing with. You know lou, were going to have to talk to all the principal witnesses. You mentioned secretary clinton. There are others, i dont want to focus on her. Clearly you cannot have a definitive accounts of benghazi without talking to the secretary of state at the time. Before i can talk to secretary of state clinton, i need the state department to provide emails of the seventh floor principals, all the document papers that any half decent lawyer would have to have before they question a witness. So were ready to pick up the pace. The democrats, ironically who didnt want to form the committee, want us to go at a quicker pace. We are more than happy to accommodate that question. Lou Elijah Cummings would democrats participating, full and equal partners. I know the irony of voting against the committee, threatening not to participate in the committee. Putting up an ask and answer website. This says the committee doesnt need to do work and now wants to be a full partner and i welcome that. There are good questioners on the other side. What im not going to do is conclude that all the work has been done when i know for a fact that there are documents and witnesses that have not been talked to, and i owe your viewers and my fellow citizens the most definitive final accounting on benghazi, thats what were asked to do and were going to do with or without their help. Lou and congressman gowdy weve also watched what has transpired with the attorney general of the United States being held in contempt of congress on the issue of fast and furious. There are so many of these scandals that envelop the white house, to which they have they have managed to the perjorative is stonewall, and i think crazily optimistic from the other side that they manage to preserve the integrity of the executive branch. Are we going to see resolution . Or is this a conflict that will simply make its way to the ballot box, and then at that time resolved . Well, i think in theory things would take a detour to the courthouse before they go to the ballot box. And when i say courthouse, there has been civil litigation that resulted in additional documents both in fast and furious and benghazi. Tomorrow was not congress that get the ben rhodes memo. It was someone else. What were seeing with fast and furious is the attorney general says in an email he sends to his wife is protected by executive privilege. A judge can throw that out in court. At some point, fellow citizens need to say stop the politics. The legislative branch has the right to conduct oversight over the executive branch. When you take 2 1 2 years to produce documents and try to wait out the congress, thats not the way this was designed. So as soon as my fellow citizens get as upset as you are about it and upset and frustrated as i am, regardless which Political Party is in power, lou, this could be a republican administration. Congress is still entitled to the documents. So my branch has to stand up for itself and i hope will do that. Lou i cant think of any analog in our history which there was ever a question raised without resolution what congress is entitled to but here we are. Now well more than two years since the death of four americans in benghazi and the burning and sacking of our consulate, the annex. Its really quite something. Is there a parallel in our history that has alluded us . Im a lot older than you are, lou, i cant think back to what that may have been, and you are better suited to history than i am. I can tell you in my brief time in congress, it has always been with a Democrat Administration and always been with a republican majority in the house trying to gain access to the information, and in the old days, Congress Kind of stood up for itself, and they asserted the right of the branch to have access to information. Nowadays, if your team is in power in the white house have you no interest in forcing them to comply with congressional requests. I hope i live long enough to see a republican president. And if i do, and im in congress, i promise you, i will make her or him be responsive to the peoples house when they have legitimate requests for documents. Lou you know, i think if its not apparent now to folks who consider them devout partisans, either republican or democrat conservative or liberal, to perhaps think about the imperial presidency as having become far too imperrious and time for a little modest rollback of power. Congressman, we know youll be working hard, we appreciate your time. Thank you, lou. Lou congressman trey gowdy. Time for a look at online poll results. We asked be sure to vote in tonights poll, do you believe that either Political Party adequately represents your personal values and beliefs and views . Cast your vote at loudobbs. Com.
