for the first time the administration believes snowden is a fugitive, as carney tried to shift blame to china, issuing a warning to president xi, days after the summit wrapped up, with u.s. officials insisting relations were just fine. >> we're just not buying this was a technical decision by a hong kong immigration official. this is deliberate choice to release a fugitive, despite a valid arrest warrant, and that decision unquestionably has a negative impact on the u.s./china relationship. >> reporter: republicans insist it is mr. obama who looks weak, since the presidents of china and russia are not worried about defying him. >> i think we can be a lot stronger. this guy is with the enemy, in the enemy camp, and we're letting him go. >> isn't the administration embarrassed now that you can't track him down, this is a cat and mouse game for all of the world to see? >> i think i've been clear about the actions we have taken and our assessment of the failure of authorities in hong kong to act appropriately on a provisional arrest. >> reporter: carney added it is a setback in u.s.-chin

i did think that jay carney's language was particularly tough. i think the chinese calculation may have been let's get this guy off our territory, out of hong kong, let him be somebody else's problem so we aren't the ones on the hook to decide what to do with him and whether to turn him over to the americans. but i think pretty tough language we heard there from jay carney. >> written language which means it was written by the nsc clearly in coordination with jay carney. that was a very deliberate signal. kelly, up as your end of pennsylvania avenue as well, immigration today. the closure vote. what is the betting now with the whip count as to how many votes are going to be in favor of this amendment and of obviously the immigration bill to come? >> well, it is a critical test and they've been trying to attract more republican support by adding more border security. that's what the senate will take a look at later today. many of them getting back to washington now and there's kind of a fierce debate happening right on the senate floor and it is u

jay carney saying that's not the case. >> reporter: not the case. in fact, the justice department has put out this very long and involved timeline which jay carney was reading from in part talking about the exact steps and the conversations that the attorney general had and that others had and exactly everything, every discussion that was had and there were no red flags put up at any point as jay carney said today and nobody had been given any indication that this extradition would not go forward as they believe was required under the law. that's why he said we're not buying that this was a technical decision by a hong kong immigration official. >> let's bring in jeffrey here. we're talking about the dip lo diplomatic side. there's a legal side. what can the united states do on the legal front to get this guy back to the united states? >> reporter: i don't really think there's a legal front. this is a political and diplomatic contest. if china wanted to turn him over, they would turn him over. if russia wants to turn them over, they'll turn him over

the first bombshell aimed at the white house press secretary jay carney. listen to what congressman darrell issa had to say about him on cnn's "state of the union." >> their paid liar, their spokesperson, picture behind, he's still making up things about what happens and calling this local rogue. >> president obama's unofficial adviser david plouffe tweeted this in response. strong words from mr. grand theft auto suspected arsonist insurance swindler and loose ethically today, referring to allegations issa faced decades ago. jay carney says he's staying out of it. >> darrell issa over the weekend called you a paid liar for the administration. i wanted to give you an opportunity to respond to that. >> i hadn't heard that. that's amazing. i'm not going to get into a back-and-forth with chairman issa. >> let's get a little back-and-forth here going on with our cnn ibtor ryan land jon king. mr. grand theft auto, that's pretty ugly even under this partisan atmosphere in washington. it's getting nasty. >> it is. remember it was just a couple of weeks ago the att

that's all we got out of jay carney. except for him to say at the same time he would say -- he says that remember, last week in his speech, the president -- friday i'm sorry. friday in san jose, california, when the president took one question, before we knew about it edward snowden took one question on the nsa operation the president defended it. this is healthy. all of this talk about it because we need an open debate on this issue. >> he is interested in having that debate and having this discussed. he believes it is in our interest as a nation to discuss it and debate it and for us to collectively assess where that balance should be struck. it is one thing to say let's have an open debate about what happens to our privacy and the need keep the country safe and the need for intelligence operations and the need for impairing information on what average americans every american is doing or online but you can only have the debate is the white house is willing to talk about it. every time we ask a question about, is this

the most visible figure has been jay carney. this is part of a bigger problem the administration has, president obama has. this week, nbc/wall street journal poll, 58% of those surveyed believe they have major doubts about the integrity and honesty of the obama administration on benghazi, the irs and the subpoena of journ journalist phone records. 32% approve of the president's handling of the gallup poll. 49% disapprove. and 50% said they believe high ranking officials inside the obama administration knew about the targeting of tea party and conservative groups. jay carney's only one of several people whose integrity is being eaten away by this constant flood of misinformation, disinformation and downright fabrication. >> let me throw to another example here, because jay carney said that on the benghazi talking points, there are only stylistic edits. as we know, the truth evolved into an elaborate web of lies. let's play both sides of this. >> the only edits made by anyone here at the white house were stylistic and nonsubstanti

today jay carney laughed off the accusati accusation. >> darrell issa over the weekend called you a paid liar for the administration. i wanted to give you an opportunity to respond to that. >> i had heard that. that's amazing. i'm not going to get into aba back-and-forth with chairman issa. >> smuns else did not show such restraint. david plouffe, the unofficial adviser to president obama tweeted this, strong words from mr. grand theft auto and suspected arsonist/insurance swindler and loose ethically today. no one was ever charged with anything and issa collected insurance money. 1972, 1982, why are we even talking about this? plouffe told me, quote, the credibility and motivations of accusers are valid here. let's bring in kevin madden cnn contributor and former senior adviser to mitt romney's campaign, glen thrush from politico. why is david plouffe going after darrell issa? >> well, i think he is trying to offer a distraction. i mean, this is -- they've done this before. if you remember during the campaign they actually insinuated the president's campaign that mitt romney was a fel f

jay carney used that tough language. he didn't point out anybody but broadly he automobile was heavily critical of both hong kong and the chinese government. you played that sound bite where he said that they didn't believe that this was some technical decision by some low level hong kong immigration official but that was a bigger are decision to use his language, a deliberate choice making a direct, taking direct aim at the chinese government. carney was asked about the fact that the passport hadn't been revoked till really within the last couple days or so and he said it had been very clear for a while what we were trying to do that the provisional arrest request had been sent to hong cog and there were conversations as recently as last friday that included conversations between attorney general eric holder and his counterpart in hong kong. martin? >> so is the white house, pete, now in direct talks with the russian authorities to insure that if edward snowden is still in moscow, he is not allowed to leave in the way h

how did press secretary jay carney react to congressman issa calling him a paid liar? >> shep, the former journalist knows it rarely pays to make yourself part of the story so he refused to get into a back and forth. he took the high road, said the president was outraged at the irs applying tea party groups and he pointed out the treasury department's inspector general didn't find any indication that the white house was involved. >> when i spoke about the situation, i was referring to the findings of the independent inspector general, who, let's be clear, said that he, both in testimony and in this report, found no evidence that outsiders, those outside the irs, influenced the behavior that took place. >> carney said legitimate congressional oversight is an important way to make sure reameddal action is taken. but he didn't say -- >> shepard: some of jay carney's friends went further. >> not quite so high minded. david pluff took a swing at issa by bringing then distant past. he said, strong worms from looseth cloy today. issa and hi brother was charged with still stea

john kerry and the press secretary jay carney yesterday both calling on russia. they've heard from other american officials as well. to expel him from russia so that he could be brought back to the united states and put on trial. that depends on how vladimir putin sees it and whether or not he wants to give president obama -- do him a favor on this issue or not. john is calling from up in munson massachusetts. >> caller: good morning. i think this is the greatest thing that's happened to a country that's out of control. these large companies pushing back and saying no, you can't have snowden. you know, everyone talks about snowed and what he's done. why did he go here? why did he go there? you know what? i think he's smart. he went to countries that we can't push around. >> bill: for sure. for sure. absolutely. >> no one wants to talk about that bill. listen, we go around -- we go around the world pushing people around and listen, i love this country but it's broken. our government needs to be replaced and something needs to be done about it and this is really a

jay carney was just asked about that contradictions and mr. clapper, moments ago, here's what he said. >> well, he certainly believes director clapper has been straight and direct in the answers he's given and has actively engaged in an effort to provide more information about the programs that have been revealed through the leak of classified information. >> joining me former chairman of the republican party of virginia, and richard, a former specialist assistant to president clinton and democratic specialist. straight and direct, really? >> we can't get into mr. carney's mind but i'm sure he was referring to mr. clapper's performance overall. i'll bet mr. clapper will explain when giving that congressional testimony it has to do with what he's allowed to say. >> you will lose that bet, he's already spoken out about it, clapper has, to the ""national journal"," quoting clapper now. what i said was the nsa does not voyeuristic voyeuristically pour through americans' e-mails. i stand by that. that is not what clapper said and not what senator w

you know and some like a bob woodward to say this people to say it's like it is like nixon and jay carney . to ensure that the emergence of broad national security and not leaked because the consequences can be severe i think it is absolutely right about that i agree with jay carney and i was defending well i think so but again the a.p. narrative doesn't really match up to what he's saying because the a.p. did not publish classified information they actually work for the government and i was most journalists do i think when when asked not to breach security so i think jay carney's point is well taken the problem is the administration itself has had some problems on this larry with with releasing operational details after bin laden was killed they came out that next day and rushed out to tell what happened in the compound room time oh gosh larry hold on that me why. why. do you think. obama's doing this human or do you think they're doing it well i don't think we know i don't think we know i mean it's really the most it seems reason to write it's not well i don't know i mean i think to jum

they went after issa this weekend in a big way, he went on a sunday talk she and referred to jay carney as a paid liar. and then we saw everybody from robert gibbes. who said he must apologize. over carne saying it is a cincinnati rogue irs. and issa said he is a paid ligi the goods, let's see them. well, we have transscripts and david plouffe who is very tight with the president coming out and saying that darril issa is an arsonist and insurance fraud. >> 1972 arrest. youthful indiscretion. what does that tell you? >> they are freaking out and they need to some doing that if they want to get through. this they would like to turn darril issa in ken starr and evil character and maybe they can try that, but the truth is, this is not about the sex life of anybody or anything like. that this is an abuse by the least trusted and liked government agency, the irs taking shots at the president's political opponents. it will not wash to talk about darril issa is doing in 1972 and tells me that the anger stems from fear. issa is not ideal with the republican when he uses hot words like liar, that

oh i think it is absolutely right about that i agree with jay carney and i was defending well i think so but again the a.p. narrative doesn't really match up to what he's saying because the a.p. did not publish classified information they actually work for the government and i was most journalists do i think when when asked not to breach security so i think jay carney's point is well taken problem is the administration itself has had some problems on this larry with with releasing operational details after bin laden was killed they came out that next day and rushed out to tell what happened in the compound room oh gosh larry hold on let's that me. why why do you think. obama is doing this you know why do you think they're doing it well i don't think we know i don't think we know i mean they're most it seems regions where it is not well i don't know i mean i think to jump to the conclusion that they have al touristic reasons when it involves journalists that are digging. a.p. was just reporting but someone like a james rosen at fox news digging cheryl at. ison at c.b.s. digging on fast

issa's aides say that he called carney a liar because carney has said from the white house podium that tea party targeting was the work of cincinnati irs employees, but issa really believes that that's not true, that the washington irs employees as we heard him, they were involved. there's no love lost between issa and carney and the white house. we know that because of this and the benghazi controversy but anderson, it is unusual to use the "l" word and even more jarring in this case because republicans i'm told were given very clear directive from the republican leadership not to overplay their hand politically in this, not distract from fact-finding with over the top rhetoric and some republicans i'm talking to are a little bit worried that this is exactly what they were worried about. >> you first reported on friday on excessive spending in the past of the irs like the cupid shuffle dance video that was made, supposed to be educational, and then this is another one, kind of a take-off of gilligan's island. let's watch this. >> hey, everybody. i saw a ship. no, really. i saw a ship.

when he says jay carney is a liar, he makes the story about him. he has to keep on the straight and narrow, keep it straight to the facts and not make this about him. >> especially when you call somebody a liar which i'm very careful about. when you call somebody a liar, you're saying i know for a fact this person lied. i know he knew or she knew the truth and told me something else when even in these tricky cases, certainly about the benghazi thing, we don't know what information was given to susan rice. we don't know what she asked for, what she ended up with or thinking at the time. people start using words like perjury and things like that, they have to be real careful. your thoughts, steve? >> john summarized it perfectly correctly. he's more like burton than the responsible subcommittee chairman john was describing. the problem for the republicans, the reason they smacked him down, this is how brands are made. the republican party is trying to run a campaign in 2014, and if they become known as the overreaching parties, the party that is know

. >> jay carney responded. this is the week, by the way, we expect some possible shift on policy on syria. we had a principals' meeting yesterday. here was jay carney at yesterday's briefing. >> obviously a lot of people who have expertise in the matter, both outside of government in congress and inside of government have perspective to add and opinions to contribute and analysis to provide and the president welcomes all of that. >> that's why jay carney gets paid those big bucks, to answer questions like that that he didn't want to get today. so going forward, this is obviously the bill clinton factor, no matter what hillary clinton decides to do. >> no question. i would take two things coming out of that. jay carney's response proves that maggie's reporting is right, in that he is essentially saying, we understand bill clinton has a different view on this than we do. the president welcomes all views. number two, look. this is what we ran into in 29 how to 8 campaign as well, is that you cannot separate bill c

one in this vitriolic way against jay carney. the second thing is just the way he's talking about it, makes it sound like he's rushing to judgment. that will already make this issue become more political. >> that seems to be the washington way, depending if you're in the hot seat or not, the other person warushing to judgment. the judgment call comes from the treasury department inspector general whose report tomorrow will reveal excessive spending for this irs conference, some $the -- $50 million spent. how does the white house react to those details, chris? >> they have to, obviously, condemn it, make it very clear what steps they've taken to make sure that this does not ever happen again. and they've got to be very forceful, i would say both on this new revelation, this new report of waste as well as the old stories about the targeting. this is, again, when you're talking about the irs and political football and consequences, more importantly, you've got to be very clear about being very aggressive in terms of the oversight an

that's a reference to this man the white house press secretary jay carney. today he got a chance to respond. wendell goler is live at the white house. wendell, what do you have to say? >> shep, jay refused to join the name-calling. he said the president was outraged at the irs targeting a tea party group applying for tax exempt status. he suggested if congressman issa doesn't believe him he should read the report of the treasury department's inspector general. >> when i spoke about the situation, i was referring to the findings of the independent inspector general, who let's be clear, said that he, both in testimony and in his report found no evidence that outsiders, those outside the irs, influenced the behavior that took place there. >> carney also said legitimate congressional oversight is an important finding the facts and taking remedial action. he would not say if issa suspicioned that irs targeting was ordered from washington was legitimate oversight, shepard. >> shepard: jay carney didn't make this you fire i fire back situation. but others did get i

carney said he never was. but the other thing that bulger really wants to change, he doesn't like this part of the narrative, is the killing of the women. of the 19 murders he's charged with killing two women and he cannot abide by that because he spent his entire criminal life creating a narrative of him and that narrative is that he's a good bad guy. he's a criminal with scruples and criminals with scruples do not murder defenseless young women. >> ifill: four to five months you're saying this is going to take. why so long? >> well, part of it is they're only going half days. he's 83 years old. judge denice casper, who is the presiding justice at this, agreed with the defense that it would be asking an awful lot of a man that's going to turn 84 in september to do long days. so right now it's going to be four days a week from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and then thursdays will be a long day that goes to 3:30 so that alone, gwen, would make this trial -- that really pushes it past -- it might have been able to be d

at the briefing today, jay carney was asked whether president obama has called president putin to ask him to expel snowden, which is what he was saying. and carney said -- he wouldn't tell us whether or not he made that call, but he said this case did not merit a call from the president of the united states to the president of russia. so if it's so important, why wouldn't obama call putin? >> michael: that's a great point. i'm so glad you reminded us of that, and so much today. bill press is the host of current tv's "full court press" every morning. thanks so much for being in "the war room" with us. coming up on the show it's stanley cup's finals time and the supreme court made like a hockey player and said yet the puck out of her on affirmative action. and then to florida, the next chapter in the trayvon martin saga commences. later we love texas, we really really, really do, and we love the people of texas, we just think the state's republican-lead legislature has lost all contact with reality. it's "the war room" on a monday. we l be right back. (vo) current tv is the place for co

now, in washington, white house press secretary jay carney said the united states still needs more evidence. >> we need to be able to have the kind of evidence that is -- can be corroborated and reviewed if we are going to make policy decisions. >> carney said that the french announcement was entirely consistent with previous assessments by the u.s. he repeated the u.s. position that if chemical weapons were, in fact, used in syria, they would have been deployed by government forces. president barack obama had indicated that he may take military action if chemical weapons were indeed used. but he's been cautious about further involvement in syria out of concern over his country's tight fiscal condition and getting caught up in the turmoil there. >>> now, united nations investigators are also weighing in. they say it's likely that chemical weapons have been used in syria. the investigators cited four attacks during march and april. but they did not specify which side used them. chemical weapons are banned under international law. the investigators say they're very concerned about routine kil

carney did not want for some avid defenders. former white house senior adviser david plouffe tweeted of issa's remarks. "strong words from mr. grand theft auto and suspected arsonist/insurance swindler. and loose ethically today." a little reminder today of mr. issa's colorful history, creating the viper car alarm after he and his brother were charged with stealing a car. prosecutors later dropped those charges. issa was suspected of setting a factory fire for insurance, but no charges were ever filed. all ancient history, of course. mr. plouffe hit on the real issue with a question for republicans of mr. issa's ilk. >> the question is, is that all congress is going to do? are we just going to be obsessed with scandals and trying to score political points? the american people can not be screaming any more loudly. worry about us. work on the economy. >> indeed. i'm sure it's hard to hear those cries over the roar of the scandal mongering crowd. joining us now from capitol hill is congresswoman eleanor holmes-norton, democrat repr

he is handing the reins to mark carney. he is being described as a financial rockstar. we went to toronto to find out why. >> canada had a pretty good financial crisis, this was shallower than most other advanced economies. it bounced back faster as well. dids the only country that not have to spend money bailing out banks. no wonder the finance minister wanted the head of the canadian central bank to come run the bank of england. >> when the crisis came in the fall of 2008, he was very effective and very helpful and we work as a team together. >> you crossed over there to steal him. i was not shocked. he told me that he had decided to go. >> he cannot take all the credit for what happened, but he seems to have one over the press. he is being called the best governor that canada has ever had. even the wayne gretzky of central banking. wayne gretzky was a famous canadian ice hockey player from the 1990s when the country suffered years of austerity of slow growth. it was painful at the time. the government could have fought to go all out support in the economy. in the boo

he actually called jay carney a laid liar. we have audio of that. >> yes. >> their paid liar, their spokesperson, he is still making up things about what happens and calling this local rogue. >> yeah and what proof does he have of that? they are getting it to? what testimony do they have that leads any credence to this? they are getting it. is so white water we hope this leads to a cigar, it's pathetic. but darrell issa is now like the walk into a rake congressman. they are irritating and a waste of taxpayer dollars. [ sound effects ] >> yeah, that's right. >> today would be the fifth hearing i believe we would have in congress on the irs scandal in quotes. >> it used to be called a fishing expedition. >> exactly. and who appointed the person that was running the irs during all of this including all of the "gilligan's island" videos? that's the amazing part of this scandal, it has a permanent glass ceiling, because the republicans and -- i'm filling in for steph today. sorry a legal responsibility to misuse words and misquote

the worst thing an irish person could consider doing was becoming an informant, carney said. instead, he argued, bulger paid off law enforcement officers in exchange for information on surveillance and searches that could have brought down bulger's crew. >> the difference between him and your average stock variety gangster is he had the protection of the f.b.i. >> reporter: "boston globe" columnist kevin cullen has covered buller for more than 30 years. is this about honor for him?Ñi >> reputation is everything for whitey bulger. he has been obsessed with it since he was a young hoodlum. that screws up his whole narrative, a narrative he spent his entire life creating. >> reporter: bulger has said his client does plan to take the stand in his own defense. scott, the trial here is expected to last at least three months. >> pelley: thanks, elaine. the news about nelson mandela this evening is a bit more positive. south africa's president said mandela is responding to treatment for a lung infection. he remains in serious but stable condition. mandela, who is 94, fought for year

carney says folks here want the keystone pipeline. >> we're kind of glass xl is coming through closer to town. everything helps. >> reporter: the pipeline's owner transcanada will pay more than $80 million a year in montana's taxes, most of that in the six counties on the pipeline's path. some land owners have doubts. >> there's the stake. do you see the stake? >> reporter: the underground pipeline would cross chad taylor's ranch. he wonder's whether the country really needs. >> the fuel made in texas probably ain't going to stay in the united states. it's going to be sold to the highest bidder. how is this going to affect me as an american? >> reporter: a fourth generation rancher, taylor worries it will lower his value especially if it's a spill. >> if this thing breaks out here, it's going into the missouri river. they can't shut it off fast enough. >> reporter: at transcanada headquarters in calgary, the president insists it will be the safest pipeline ever built. >> no one in the business would cut corners. you would be patently insane to do that. >> reporter: with plans to tripl

dan carney is glasgow's mayor. >> we are so close to the edge of the earth we can see it from here. >> reporter: it always has been boom or bust in glasgow. first came the railroad in the late 1800s, then during the depression, construction of the massive fort peck hydro dam and in the late sixties, closure of the glasgow air force base. carney says folks here want the keystone pipeline. >> this was coming through where the pipeline will come through this town, everything helps. >> reporter: the pipeline's owner trans-canada will pay more than $80 million a year in montana taxes, most of that to the six counties in the pipeline's path. some landowners have doubts. >> and if it comes, right there, you see the stake? >> reporter: the underground pipeline would cross chad taylor's ranch. he wonders whether the country really needs it. >> the fuel that is made in texas probably ain't going to stay in the united states. it is going to be sold to the highest bidder. how is this going to benefit me? as an american? >> reporter: a fourth generation rancher, taylor worries the pipeline will lo
