Never know. Thanks for watching special report. Im shannon bream. Good night from washington. On the record is up next. Big news they may have found missing flight 370. Im greta van susteren, this is on the record. Nearly a month ago, satellites spotting potential plane records it is nowhere near the search area. So why are we just finding out now . A basketball bombshell. I am banning mr. Sterling for life. If you want to broadcast it that you are associating with black people. Can mr. Sterling keep his team . I will give him some free legal advice. Plus. Electability is going to be a big factor in 2016. James carville on the record. Then, Monkey Business for a news reporter. [ laughter ]
why would this hit close to home for me . First, breaking right now Australian Company claiming it has found wreckage from a commercial airliner there is a twist it adds to the mystery. The scofer is thousands of miles from the area where searchers have been hunting for flight 370. For the latest grn reporter Roger Maynard is live. Tell me about this new discovery. Greta, this is a fascinating claim but is it true in the Australian Company insists they found material consistent with the wreckage of a commercial airliner in the bay of bangor. Which is thousands of miles to the northwest of the present search area. Now, according to multispectral images taken from the air two days after flight mh 370 went missing, significant amounts of titanium, comer, steel allies and jet fuel residue were detected about 100 miles south of
bangladesh. Geo scientists compared these images with march the 5th and march the 10th before and after the planes disappearance and found a specific area where the data varied between the two dates, suggesting the minerals werent there earlier solve its an interesting claim, discovery, we are still not quite sure whether its actually true. Any particular plane but it certainly is, certainly is something that they have located there, right . Is that fair . Any plane . Anything that sort of shares these chemicals, aloom yum titanium copper steal allies and jet rest lieu fuel, right . You are quite right. Geo residence, its normal work is finding minerals on the earth or on the sea bed which might lead the way to some kind of mineral exploration, so they are very good at finding or detecting this sort of material. But whether its actually related to the plane is another matter all together. Certainly the Australian Authorities here are taking this claim with a big pinch of salt, the joint agency
called Nation Center is dismissing the report, pointing out that the location specified by geo residence is not within the search area indicated by satellite and other data. And that they are satisfied the final resting place mh 370 is still in the ocean. Roger, two things, one is apparently they notified them on march 28th, well within the black box pinging area and at the same time while everyone is sort of dismissing this as being irrelevant, maybe it is, the fact is they have not found it any other place. And at least they could have done the least to try to go out and verify it it unless crackpot company. Is this a crackpot company . No. I wouldnt say that its a highly Credible Company. Its got a long history in this sort of area of detecting this sort of mineral residue. So you cant dismiss their claims. But, i have to say even they are saying its not definitely the wreckage of mh 370. But they feel that nevertheless this data should be investigated. Roger, thank you. Thank you very much, greta. So, of course, the question is could it really be the wreckage of flight 370 . Could searchers in the southern indian ocean been that far off . Former fbi aviation investigator Christopher Voss joins us. Nice to see you. Genk, nice to be here. No one jumping on this. Well within the black box ping time when the battery presumably has died. Should they have gone and checked it out . You cant ignore anything. They have you had have sent someone out regardless even if they had lots of reasons for not going out there and checking on it. They should have found a way to get out there and confirm whether or not there was anything substantive to the report. Roger says its a very Credible Company and they claim to have found a number of these chemicals that would make up sort of the part of boeing 777. And if they are very credit bled and seem to have found t. It and no other leads, you would think they would have at least checked it out. The only other possible reason would be is if they in fact had some sort of
classified information in not revealing where they knew what plane it was and knew it was a different plane. Thats entirely possible. Saying its consistent with a plane and u. S. Military went to the southern part of the indian ocean fairly quickly in this search. You know, we dont know whats not being said. Except they did go to the southern indian ocean pretty quickly but they still havent found anything. Thats right. Its like if they found it, i would say yeah, that was a good idea. But they havent found it. They havent found Malaysian Air flight 370. And i said unless they thought for sure that they had had identified as another airplane. There might have been other airplanes that went down, illegal shipments it could have been a lot of things. You dent no know for sure who is flying through this airspace and what reason. They might know what plane that is. Do you think some Intelligence Agency of some country truly does know where this plane is but for classified reasons not wanting to relay their type of technology to expose to to others copying it, that they have kept silent . Yeah, i think its extremely unlikely that
there isnt more specific classified information. It hasnt been revealed just because they have hung on to it because it wouldnt save anybodys life. They had an idea where the plane went down and they know that it went down. Except that it may not of course its not going to save lives that the plane went down. I think it went down at this point. It took two or three crashes before they realized it was a rudder problem. They had to recreate the accident. Maybe this 777 has a design defect and it sure would be nice to find it and investigate it because why all get on 777s. Unlikely but at least we ought to look into it. I agree. I think thats why they are searching where they are searching. They have good reason believing thats where it went down. Just because they havent been able to find the plane yet, doesnt mean thats not where they believe it went down. Christopher, thank you. Always nice to he sigh. Now to Significant Developments in the benghazi investigation. Fox news chief intelligence correspondent Catherine Herrige joins us. Catherine, we got news today. What is it . We have some emails that were released as a result of a federal lawsuit. They lead directly into the
white house. And what you see with one of the emails on september 14th, three days after the attack is that there were, in effect, at least two tracks. There was this p. R. And communications track that said when susan rice goes on the sunday talk shows, she needs to emphasize that the protests in the region, which also lumped in benghazi, which related to a video and not a broader policy failure. And then a second track which is the intelligence, which is completely divorce from this, which showed that there was no protest or has strong indicators there was no protest. All right. So the intelligence says no protest, no video. The p. R. Strategy as you call it, i would call it deceitful, because it simply didnt reflect what we knew, right . I mean you call it a p. R. Strategy. Im going to leave that up to the viewers. A p. R. Or communication strategy. But whatever you want to say, its not nsync with what the intelligence is saying. The intelligence also released in these emails
shows in realtime that it was an attack there was no reference to a video. There was no reference to demonstrations. All right. Whats particularly disturbing though, that is on the day before that email that was just disclosed today is part of a lawsuit. That was on the day before susan rice made her five appearances. Two days. Two days before she appeared. September 18th, president obama on the letterman show in new york. September 25th on the view. Both those, thats a week later, he is still doing the video. And you tell me that the intelligence says no video but as you call it, the p. R. Strategy says there is a video. Well, we know that by september 18th, september 19th, the u. S. Personnel on the ground had been interviewed and they just described an attack. They did not describe the protest or anything related to the video. And then off othe surveillance camera footage showed the same thing. So why the president stayed with that video explanation, i think, in part, is explained by these emails that were released today. These emails show the p. R. Strategy to explain benghazi, and that it came from the inner circle at the white house. All right. Well you are very kind to call it a p. R. Strategy. I call it deceitful because thats not what the intelligence was and they continued to carry that theme. Catherine and, remember, four people were dead and the thrust of that email is to protect the president. Catherine, nice to see you. And joining us are Political Panel the weekly standards John Mccormick the the Washington Post karen at the david, what do you make of this the p. R. Strategy. No video. The question is did it go any higher than the emails released today . This is ben rhodes. Whats title. Deputy National Security advisor to the president. He is the one that sent the email that said, i will quote it. To underscore these protests are rooted in rooted in the intt video and not a broader failure in policy. Pretty high up the chain. Did it get up even higher
thats really the question. Wouldnt you think at some point it would get high enough to the president going on national tv David Letterman on the 18th and the view on the 25th. Still running the video story. Wouldnt you think someone would have headed him off at the pass and said dont go with that one . Sure. Who was the first person that mentioned the video. Did anyone in intelligence ever say. Cia says no. And, see, that is sort of who is the first one to mention it . Is it ben rhodes or someone even higher . Karen . I do think the most damaging phrase in that email is to underscore it is not a failure in policy. You would assume at that moment they would be trying to determine whether it was a failure in policy. So, i think ben rhodes. I would actually be less concerned about failure in policy than the fact that the dead bodies werent even buried at that time of americans. I mean, they are more worried about p. R. Strategy and i would think for gods sake find out who did this. The reason failure in policy is important is because you want to make sure that you dont have other embassies, other
places around the world that are similarly exposed. So i think that, you know, ben rhodes is probably going to be facing a lot of questions and potentially on the hill going forward. Why, if the Intelligence Committee says or Intelligence Community cia says no video, and you have got ben rhodes who is saying that its a p. R. Strategy, not a policy failure and you go with the video at the same time, why is the president still like a week later, 10 days later still going with the video . He hasnt answered that the white house has said repeatedly that all these edits came from the cia. We know that Deputy Director mueller said just the oother week from congressional testimony that the cia analysts had never suggested that the video was the cause of the benghazi attacks. So, there is a lot for the administration to answer. Again, if you go back to the first emails, 100 pages or so released last year. There is really very little mention at all of the video. First email by rhodes that was held back that really extensively pushes this as the defense for its not
a policy failure. Its just this video. All right, panel. Thank you. And trouble for the Obama Administration tonight. Three republican senators demanding to know if the white house was behind the controversial benghazi talking points. Senators john mccain, Lindsey Graham and kelly ayotte demanding the Obama Administration who briefed former u. N. Ambassador susan rice before she appeared on five sunday shows. Senator ayotte joins us. Nice to see you. Great to see you, greta. The letter was sent last night. It was sent also before we got these emails. Now these emails. Tell me now what you you are thinking. Here is what i am thinking, unfortunately what we suspected from the beginning. You have look at the talking points, number one. The talking points that were issued never mentioned a video. The word video is nowhere in those talking points. Emanated from where, the cia . That came from the cia. The ones that were flawed because they omitted the reference to al qaeda so they were flawed in and of themselves but there is no reference to a video and we always said where did the video reference come from . Now we know it came from the white house. Ben rhodes, the email that
went to top president obama advisors, david plouffe, jay carney, and wassoused to prep susan rice. Do you know that they all saw that david plouffe, jay carney they all got this email from ben rhodes . It was sent to them. You have to aassume they received it this was obviously a pretty hot topic with four brave americans killed. They are two months out to an election. So this is the dynamic where the president in the election is obviously claiming that he been a good Foreign Policy president. That he had had al qaeda on the run. The other thing in this set of email here thats very troubling is this reference to make sure you mention that al qaeda has been destroyed. Then you saw ambassador rice on every single sunday show saying al qaeda has been disseminated that was nowhere in the talking points and actually is contradicted by what we know happened on that day. Let me rewind you a bit. Go back to september 6th which was the Democratic Convention in charlotte, north carolina, where the
president spoke. He said al qaeda, im quoting from it. Al qaeda is on the path to defeat. Right. Thats what it said. Goes on talks about it later. That was the theme at the convention. One of many. One of many. Unfortunately as we know al qaeda affiliates, the evidence is that they were involved in the attacks in benghazi. So the references that were taken out of the talking points that would have led people to to understand right from the beginning this is a terrorist attack, that was incredibly troubling. Now we know the video s was really pushed from the white house as opposed to the intel community. Lets not forget also the cia stations chief that was actually in libya sent. In tripoli though, not benghazi but tripoli. At least in libya on the ground much more than the people in washington sent that email to acting director morell that day which said listen, this is not an escalation of protests. That was ignored as well. I guess one question i would
have was that ignored because it didnt fit the white house talking points . This t. Would be good to know answers from that. For the life of me, i dont understand why president obama, on september 18th, which is after september 11th on the letterman show and on september 25th, which is even later than that on the view is still going with that video thing which is that narrative that was coming out of the white house. I dont understand why they didnt i didnt correct him or why he didnt correct himself. I will never understand that either. I think that they clung to this narrative because it was a narrative leading up to the election that they had been pushing in terms of al qaeda on the run, al qaeda toward defeat. They clung to the video because the actual narrative, lets not forget, the head of the defense department, and the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff said they knew right away it was a terrorist attack, yet he clung to that explanation that defies the evidence. Of course, i always bring up the fact that we are pushing on it at fox here and we were excluded from the state Department Briefing call. They said it was an
accident. We accepted it as an accident we were accidently left off and exclued from the cia briefing two weeks later that was pretty deliberate. I always thought we were being punished for pursuing it. Who knows. Anyway, senator nice to see you. Great to see you, greta.
