>> your wallets your values. people at one liberal down is facing as they are faced to approve oil drilling for face bankruptcy. >> oo this is poornt story let me explain why. for the nation's largest sources of oil is right there under pacific southern california. yet we haven't drilled a new well offshore in about three decades in california. fermosa beach where gas prices are 3.30, 3.40 a gallon they can do that but they have to get in bed with an oil company. >> 2 square miles of sun and sand. if there's controversy do they vote their environmental conscience and go broke or approve oil drilling on city land and get rich. >> $400 million. >> sheer greed that this

situation ever started: >> 50 years ago they agreed but breached the contract. they offered this choice approve drilling in the city 15 percent of all revenues and the school district earns $0.20 on every barrel pumped or turn it down and pay 17 million in damages. >> it gives us a chance to you move forward and provide funding for the school district. >> get rid of the tennis rackets on the city emblem and put oil and a bottle of vodka. that's what you will need. >> it is in california's love hate relationship. many sustain it but their lifestyle depends on it. the love is unique. built on land the pipeline would siphon oil from under the pacific without touching water. >> i am more for it because it is on land than going underneath. that may be easier than not

having the eye sore. >> that is an important point. nobody really wants to see a drilling rig off the beach and a risk of a spill offshore is very real. this well will be drilled about 5 blocks inland. once the well is drilled you won't see it. you will see maybe a pump jack in the city's maintenance yard. because of that because none of the oil will be touching the water the risk a comparatively low. that's why some believe they will vote their pocket back over environmental ethics. heather and ainsley can barks to you. 26 minutes after the hour. the war of words heating up with iran and nuclear talks set for this week. >> then would you follow the tragic voyage of the titanic? relatives of the victims are doing just that. first on this day in history wha

>> 44 after the hour. the blame game is on after the federal agency came to light. employees for the general services administration poking fun now at tax payer in these videos. they have now been fired and the white house is pointing fingers at the previous administration. here is what one official told fox news quote at least we have taken bold, swift, forceful action to hold those responsibility accountable and put in place protections to make sure this never happened again. if the bush administration folks had acted under their watch the 2010 debacle could have been avoided. is this a fair assessment? joining us for a fair and balanced debate from the daily collar michelle fields. do you think that's fair to

blame president bush? this happened when president obama was in office. >> i think about the time president obama rose up and took responsibility. they took the administration 11 months ago about the factual findings of wrong doing from the lav fiish funding in vegas. you would think he would suspend some of the people they pointed out and identified. the obama administration allowed these people responsible for the lav fish spending to get bonuses. he allowed this to escalate instead of stopping it swiftly as he says. >> all presidents do this when the administration does wrong. here we are going into a second term he is running for real election. when is it time for the administration to take responsibility? >> i think the president has taken responsibility. 3 of the people involved in this

lavish spending. >> he still allowed them to get bonuses even though the investigation was taking place. >> that's the point. that's the very point. the investigation is underway. the findings have not been solidified ever since. what would have been wrong on the president's part would have been to take action before the findings had been released because he did that with shirley cher rad. it was ahead of time and we found out she had been the victim of edited tapes and she was not guilty of the charges. he had to wait until things were settled then he took bold decisive action and now those people are done. who in their right mind would work for a federal agency and spend this kind of money. we are talking 13030 to build bicycles on the trip. especially in this economy. what do we need to do going

forward to change the government process here. it is our tax dollars. we are coming to work at 5:00 in the morning to pay our bills and put food on the table. that is going to build bicycles in vegas. that shines the light on the bloated government we have right now. we need to make the government smaller and limit the scope and power of government. that's the issue. >> i will give you the last word. >> we need more transparency obviously. this is a stim forward. >> 11 months ago. >> 11 months ago that's incorrect. 11 months ago the investigation was underway. >> 11 months ago there were all of these. >> ladies we love each other. >> thank you. >> we are talking about the talks of scouting it out. they had to go back 9 times.
