and it's hillary clinton's last day as u.s. secretary of state choose to travel the world on numerous diplomatic missions but as she leaves her post with great fanfare does the hype match her record that's a question we'll ask coming up and from immigration to health care the u.s. is facing serious problems but can a government that's deeply divided along party lines actually solve these problems shines a light on some of the issues that's created a broken us system. it's friday february first four pm in washington d.c. hi meghan lopez and you're watching our t.v. . beginning this hour with the topic of the middle east and more specifically the continued redevelopment of afghanistan a new report out this month found that american officials could have been unknowingly buying fuel from iran for years despite numerous sanctions strictly prohibited such a purchase the report found that the u.s. failed to verify the source of fuel they purchased for afghan security forces due to a lack of oversight by the department of defense so ho

no, hillary clinton is really her own thing. her career in public life, in public office is unlike anybody else in american history. she went from being an accomplished lawyer in her early career to being the first lady of arkansas. she then became a very high profile first lady of the united states for her husband's two terms in office. she was the first modern first lady to turn that role into a policy job and the first attempt at health reform. she went on to weather her husband's in-office infidelity scandal and impeachment in office. she became a senator from the state of new york and then of course that historic and very hard fought race for the democratic presidential nomination, concluding with barack obama winning the presidency, and then him nominating hillary clinton to be the highest profile secretary of state that our country probably has ever had. and we have had a lot of very high profile secretaries of state. >> so it's been quite a challenging week saying goodbye to so many people. and knowing that i will not ha

. >>> coming up, it's hillary clinton's last day at the state department. what a ceremony we saw today. what a show. it was like a political convention. it's the first day of the rest of her life actually, and it may include a 2016 campaign for president. she hasn't said whether she wants to run, but there are plenty of democrats out there just waiting for her to say i do. >>> also, men behaving badly. we have touched on that already. we showed you john mccain and lindsey graham's rude behavior and they're hardly alone. the lesson many of the gops seem to have learned from 2012 is if you want to stop losing elections, just keep doing exactly what you've been doing. strange lesson. >>> the documentary "the gatekeepers" is a fascinating look at the people involved with dealing with palestinians in the occupied territories. they're a lot more like barack obama than like benjamin netanyahu. >>> finally, let me finish tonight with a chance of a fabulous massachusetts delegation to the united states senate now. elizabeth warren and edward markey. and this is "har

about the former first lady hillary clinton, former senator hillary clinton and now, as of today, former secretary of state, she's sort of, for better or for worse, she has had this sense of right and wrong vis-a-vis herself. and that's been her guiding star. whebl she wanted to be a first lady who didn't just host teas and did parties at the white house, she wanted to be involved in policy, that made her an instant lightning rod for people who had traditional views. whej she when she decided to move for a state, people called her a carpet bagger and all sourts of things. she put her nose down and got herself elected, went into the senate, put her nose down, did the hard work and gained the respected of a lot of people who voted to impeach her husband and then to become secretary of state faced the nation around the world chose nl by the man who beat her in a very tough run for president of the yietsd, i saw all of this to say what we have seen in hillary clinton is someone who has been knocked down, beaten up rhetorically and politically but who has always risen back you want to show wi

would give hillary clinton a -- i would give hillary clinton a d. i do not understand how somebody in a position of power with so much information about the situation going on in other countries could ever send a force of people into a country that they know is unstable with the same amount of security that they would send to a place like france or germany. for my part, hillary clinton has left much to be desired for her position. i think possibly the whole incident that went down could have costar -- cost her her political career as far as her ambitions are. host: two stores connected to a political donner connected to bob menendez -- it a go to the front page of the new york times -- if you go to a follow- up story in the washington times, it is written -- ramona in florida, we are taking a look at hillary clinton as secretary of state. she calls us on our democrats want. good morning. -- democrats line. good morning. caller: she has done a fantastic job as secretary of state. she didn't put anything up with anybody. she went to the senate, he tri

i want to know what the white puff coming out of the top. >> bill clinton and hillary clinton dancing in their bathing suits on the beach. >> i want to get one more picture. al gore clip ready. the former vice president making the tv rounds on a book tour and, of course, at least in some of these interviews being asked about the sale of his current tv to al jazeera. here he was on david letterman. >> so you're selling this television network to a gas and oil supported or emerate. isn't that one of the problems with the global warming? >> yes, it is. >> so, you, al gore doing business with this country that enabling your ultimate foe, climate change. >> i think i understand what you're getting at. but i disagree with it. >> fareed zakaria asked him about and were the media holding him accountable? >> they were and they should because he's been a big spokesman on global warming, a principled man and now he is this big, fat target. he sold his network and worth $300 million more than mitt romney and he's seen as a guy now who enriched himself, rather than advancing his cause. opening up

i think hillary clinton still has some history in front of her to make. but she can be declared the most powerful woman in history. >> we've settled that. ed marquee, i'm thinking of ed marquee, let me ask you, governor rendell. let me try to bother awe little bit. back in 1979, you were convinced that ted kennedy could not be beat for president of the united states. were you out there with billy green. i'm trying to hold on to my speech-running job at the white house, you're trying to take it away from me. times change, it conceivable in your hillary heart that times could change over the next three years, and she would not be hot to trot to run. doug macarthur i'm told by the people who lived back there in '51 and remembered it, that he was unbeatable for president when he was fired by truman. a year later, he was nothing. i took it away. >> is it true that hillary has the staying power, so that for years from now, she could be president? >> yeah, i think she does. ted kennedy, remember, was a fairly young senator and hadn't really proven himself. dougl

what does hillary clinton do? you can hear the applause there behind. i'm not sure we're able to talk with andrea. i'll bring in ambassador burns. ambassador burns, let me ask you from a different perspective the question that i'd posed to andrea. you see the impact that hillary clinton has had on the state department workers but she mentioned even today you have an attack on a u.s. embassy in turkey. putting it all in perspective, what she sees as the accomplishments of the state department and the struggles still ahead. what kind of an impact did she have in the time there? >> first of all, she was speaking from the state department in washington. she is beloved and the u.s. foreign service. she has the loyalty of that building. she has stood up for the diplomats time and time again and made a case in the farewell speech that diplomacy should be front and center so i think she leaves that legacy. in addition, she's done two things that were very different for a secretary of state. she has put development in to the picture as a major priority. what we

state department, today hillary clinton formally turned into her resignation. speaking to her staff one last time, she issued her thanks and ended them to carry on their -- encouraged thome carry on their work for the -- them to carry on their work for the country and the president. how will she be remembered? the bbc's state department correspondent looks back at her legacy. >> she's one of the most recognized and respected women in the world. after four years as secretary of state, hillary clinton leaves the job with close to 70% approval rating. >> i am going to miss it. i'm going to miss the people i worked with here, i'm going to misrepresenting my country when that blue and white plane with the united states of america lands, i'm going to miss making the progress that we made over the last four years in restoring american leadership and solving problems and setting out long-term challenges. it's very exciting and very moving. >> the biggest of all, the arab revolutions. clinton and the obama administration have de-- have to find their way in the new arab

she's back at hillary rodham clinton. and a lot of -- >> i don't know if we can show that letter, her resignation let, i hereby resign as secretary of state and signed it hillary rodham clinton, which is a signature we haven't actually seen much in the last four years. >> she had to almost take it back and not apologize but explain to the people of arkansas, this was south -- the first time you had -- it was a working spouse. she's the most powerful woman in american history, probably, but at that point, just having -- he was the governor, she was working with the children's defense fund, doing other things with her law degree. it was controversial at the time. imagine that. that's 20 years ago. 1990s. now you're in 1992, i was at an event in chicago where she caused a huge stir when she said, i suppose i could have stayed home and baked cookies and had tea. i decided to fulfill my profession. >> she didn't do it. >> gloria, one of the things that i think a lot of pundits in washington predicted when president obama or th

but those who know hillary clinton say she does not rest for long. with many clamoring for clinton in 2016, she said today she is still deciding. in the newsroom, rebecca cooper abc 7 news. >> the white house says it expects the senate will confirm chuck hagel as the next secretary of defense. today, the white house spokesman said president obama thinks he will be an excellent secretary. he dismissed critics of his performance at a contentious confirmation hearings yesterday. no democrats have said they would vote against him. today, a republican said he would oppose the nomination out. >> anne arundel county executive john leopold has resigned, just days after a judge found him guilty of misconduct in office. he was serving his second term. he issued a statement that said in part, "this decision is the most difficult decision i have ever made, but i know it is. right one and in the best interests of the citizens of anne arundel county." he acknowledged his mistakes. he will be sentenced in march, facing years in jail, but some legal experts believe

hillary clinton has approval ratings that are sky high right now. one reason for that is at the end of the 2008 campaign, another cable station became sort of a fan of hillary clinton's as she was running against barack obama, he being the hated one. she being the suddenly acceptable democrat. look, you would rather attach yourself if you're karl rove, to somebody popular than somebody who is not. a lot of republicans in researching this book in doing interviews say they like hillary clinton a lot better than barack obama, of course that is intended as part as praise for her. but also a slam towards him, this is not new. >> and ana-marie, the point is not to attack hillary clinton. it is just that rove is using her as this convenient device. and this thing is, he need not reach back to her first lady days, to the days where you can say no, no, no, that is not where you have examples. it would be in her senate career and the role as secretary of state. if he is going to praise her role as secretary of state, he would in effect be praising president o

madeleine albright, cleeondolee rice, and hillary clinton. i remember when secretary albright was first named by president clinton. there were all kind of concerns that people wouldn't meet with her, wouldn't take her seriously. obviously she got the job done. now i think we think of diplomacy in a very different way. >> you know, i worked for secretary albright. i had the great privilege to be one of her speech writers when she came to the state department, and i vividly remember writing speeches about, well, what is it like to be a woman secretary of state. what is it like when you go to saudi arabia and you -- will she cover herself collar bone to anklebone or won't she. and then condi rice and the thigh high boots. the nice thing at that level is we didn't hear much about hillary clinton being a woman. she was an effective secretary of state. and one of the things that it has done, which is great and i do think this is a tall order for secretary kerry but i think he's up to it is it's really expanded the idea which frankly we lost in the

hillary clinton had that, john kerry had that. very striking yesterday. the republicans, they seemed very happy to, you know, pile on a really sharply attack chuck hagel. you saw roy blunt come out today and say he's not voting for this nominee. you saw the republicans be very aggressive. at the same time, every democrat is for him. and as long as the democrats stay with him, it's hashrd to imagine he will not be confirmed. but a very rough and unusual day yesterday for hagel. >> all right, julie, you had the opportunity to work with secretary ray la hood and know about the preparedness that goes into getting cabinet members ready for hearings like and able to take on the tough questions. i want to remind everybody some of the fumbles chuck hagel had yesterday and talk about what would have gone into getting him ready. take a look. >> i have just been handed a note that i misspoke and said i supported the president's position on containment. if i said that, it meant to say that -- obviously, his position on containment, we don't have a position on contain
