and on jay carney stepping down as press secretary. joe remy says they all say a lot without saying anything but gravitas and humor can cover a multitude of sins. carney had neither and tough because he was once on the other side of those questions, but he did a good job under very difficult circumstances. >> bricks up a great job because that job is 24/7, have to be monitoring the news at all times and that gets tiring. >> and you're trying to do work for the president who employs you and at the same time keep the press co-happy which, of course, is impossible. an australian newspaper has published a photo of kate middleton's bare bum a day after a german magazine did the same thing. british papers refused to show a shot of her skirt that blew up by the helicopter and why should the media stick to an antiquated code of etiquette when kate doesn't protect her own modesty? why should the media expose some royal flesh for clicks. >> remember royalty said they had hem weights when they go out? do you know what a hem weight is? >> kind. >>

he mixed it up with jay carney on his last day as press secretary yesterday. we'll ask him about that. >>> and later, don't miss a very special segment from the 2014 special olympics. andrea's going to have that to use, so stick around. >>> yesterday was jay carney's last day as press secretary. >> yea! >> eric. he went one more round with our very own ed henry. >> what happened to lois lerner? will the white house guarantee your work to find them? >> as the irs has said, ed, they're producing 67,000 e-mails sent or received from lois lerner. we asked if we would produce them. we did in fact do a search for all communications between lois lerner and any person within the executive office of the president for this period. we found zero e-mails, sorry to disappoint. >> white house correspondent is with us now. ed, does the white house have any idea the enormity of this story, and how arrogant that sounds that they looked and they have nothing, sorry to disappoint? >> well, look, they genuinely believe inside the white house that this is much ado about nothing. w

we showed them to the audience earlier and jay carney didn't know about the communications. how do you have somebody in the white house, let him stand next to the president of the united states and not check the twitter feeds, see what he said? >> once again, the white house learns from the press like we do. they learn from press reports. they didn't do due diligence -- >> how will they investigate this family, this, you know, bowe bergdahl and with all due respect to him and his service. we owe it to the country to understand what situation we're in now. you used to work for an agency that did that. >> there are classified files on basically everything we used to joke around and say that. it's not necessarily an indicator of very much they may have been looking into what is going on. >> that's normal due diligence. >> there is possibility of a collaborator, whether we talk about that publicly or not and if you have somebody that may have been collaborating, very high offset at all times, they could have taught him trade craft to get around the investigative techniques to fi

jay carney saying he was not. they seem to have not been aware of the pentagon report in 2010. maybe they were and we aren't. there's a lot to be said about this. including what happens to the rest of the terrorists at gitmo. if you release five in qatar, they have to stay there -- qatar, that place over there, they only have to be there one year. i'm sure we'll try to keep a close eye on them but as you suggested the recidivism rate for terrorists leaving gitmo, sometimes they are almost more deadly after they left than they were the first time around. >> bob, who got the better of the deal? >> first of all, let's put some things in context. united states military does not leave one of their own anywhere, whatever the circumstances, and they haven't. >> well, we have left some people. >> in this case, somebody that you know that's alive and they went out there looking for him. the other thing we have to be careful here is we don't know -- people are pretty loose lipped here about condemning this guy. we don't know the situation. if he really did -- was a deserter, and they kne

but the jay carney resignation, that's a head scratcher. did you expect it? >> the timing was a surprise. i don't think we thought he would stay until the end of the term. but he had been so battered over the benghazi e-mail, over obama care and relationships with reporters, he was often questioning their motivation and asking aggressive questions. carney a former journalist had poisoned the well. i think he decided to move on and make money in the private sector or maybe a cable news channel. >> we will be watching you in about 20 minutes, howie. back to our top stories. what is next for shinseke as he is out of the va? and major knowledge about interest rates and stimulus. our panel will weigh in as we look ahead on sunday morning futures. [ male announcer ] if you're taking multiple medications, does your mouth often feel dry? a dry mouth can be a side effect of many medications but it can also lead to tooth decay and bad breath. that's why there's biotene. available as an oral rinse, toothpaste, spraor gel, biotene can provide soothing relief, and it help

. >> well, it wasn't just national security adviser susan rice, also outgoing press secretary jay carney saying bowe bergdahl served with honor and distinction. this came on a day when white house decided to clarify rice's and let's not forget of the facts that we don't know yet. we haven't heard his side of the story yet. this also comes on a day when two senior defense officials, not soldiers in the field, two senior defense officials confirmed that bergdahl walk off before in 2010 and there's an army report about that. we're back with our panel in d.c. george, what about this? >> well, winston churchill once said tell the president to wrap his arms and this episode of national sentiment without till him some of the many, to put it politely, ambiguitiys about sergeant bergdahl's service in afghanistan. did she tell the president, is she advising him? because, if she is not. if she is not giving him the facts, then we have a really serious problem 16 blocks from here. >> chuck senator mccain said yesterday that susan rice should stay off sunday shows. >> she didn't have a good one this

it was jay carney who perpetuated the myth that it was two rogue agents in ohio. it wasn't any of us. was that accurate? was that first initial line of defense that this is two rogue agents in ohio? was that accurate, commissioner? >> not that i know of. >> that wasn't accurate and that came from the white house. who said there is not a smidgeoon of corruption. who said that? >> my understanding it was the president. >> that is jay carney and the president inserting themselves into the i.r.s. scandal and you want to blame us for bringing the white house into it? >> i haven't blamed anyone. >> you just did, commissioner. you just did. >> even the congressman from massachusetts i thought was fair. he said do you understand people are out raged? do you understand how this appears? at the very least, he could not suspend his consternation. >> saying if you don't believe you did anything wrong but perhaps something went wrong, you should have someone outside coming in and investigate. >> that's what i would do. if someone made me take over an organization and something

pretty soon we'll not have jay carney around to kick anymore. this is his last meeting as white house press secretary. he is giving the last white house briefing. we expect he will be asked about the irs e-mail situation, a couple of years worth of e-mails from at least 6 or 7 irs employees seem to have disappeared. we'll be talking about that with a legal panel and what happens if it was done deliberately. that is a question coming up. in the meantime, congressional investigators announced that the irs lost more e-mails sought in the probe of the agency's targeting of conservative groups. the irs lost two years worth of e-mails belonging to former official lois lerner. what happens if law makers figure out the disappearance was a crime? we'll talk about it with ashley merchant and brian silver and a former prosecutor. we don't know what happened brian, but it sounds awfully suspicious that seven people all of whom were involved i the targeting of conservative groups. their e-mails from that period in question so manied to have disa pored. what

now earlier there was a briefing, of course, here, jay carney's last briefing in the briefing room, he said it is up to iraq to figure out iraq's problems and he also said the united states is considering all of its options and the military option remains on the table, however, he said u.s. troops would not be sent back into combat in iraq. that does leave open the possibility of air strikes, of course, and that is something the president has not made a decision on. listen. >> any action that he might contemplate when it comes to direct military, and the use of military force would be to deal with the immediate -- and medium-term threat posed by isol and to make sure that our first and foremost objective in the region which is to deny extremists a safe haven is pursued and achieved. >> now one big concern that's being talked about here is the possibility of the united states cooperating with iran on a solution in iraq. congressional republicans have been expressing bewilderment that the united states would even consider such an idea. jay carney said there would be limits to any agreeme

and jay carney calling it quits did the personal battles with reporters undermine effectiveness? >> hillary clinton leaks the book chapter on benghazi with "politico" so yes are she and the team so weary of the press that the spokesman seas there is no such thing as straight reporting anymore. >> brian williams with edward snowden in russia for a one-hour conversation with the fugitive from justice. >> are you look for clemency or amnesty? would you like to go home? >> there is no question i would like to go home from day win i said i was doing it to serve my country. >> is this a hard-hitting we interview or prime time infomercil? this is "media buzz." from the moment the veterans department came out, the focus was, would president obama dump the v.a. secretary eric shinseki? >> what you heard today was an invitation for resignation and he has done, by the weekend. >> my expectation is general shinseki will voluntary fall on the sword. >> it is a question of, what? what when shake shake -- when will eric shinseki go? >> with considerable regret i accepted eric shinseki resignati

. >> it was jay carney who perpetuated the myth it was two rogue agents in ohio, not any of us. when you look at the president, his own remarks on this irs scandal unfolded almost a year ago he said he would fully cooperate. he and his administration. they not only fully cooperated they have not done a damn thing to help us get to the truth of what really happened. >> the hearings continue about the irs emails that have since disappeared. newest fox poll asked a couple of questions. one should congress continue to investigate the irs until someone is held accountable. you can see 74% of those polled say yes and that's up from april at 67%. also the irs targeting and va scandals did president obama really learn about those in the news? and there you see the breakdown, 31% yes, 60% no. let's bring in our panel. george will, juan williams and charles krauthammer. >> well, i think this is very serious. only reason the administration is not getting hillary on this is because of the press. you can see mark halperin talked about this morning who is hardly a right-wing zealot. who said
