reuters reported london will work on release of strategic stocks that could take place over the nexteveral months. all of this in a bid to prevent gas prices from choking growth. this coming on the heels of two days of meeting between u.s. and british officials including president obama and prime minister david cameron. last night's state dinner, yesterday's session in the oval office. that brought some quick questions today to press secretary jay carney who refuted this reuters story. >> reports today that the president and prime minister cameron discussed tapping strategic oil reserves. what's the status of the white house's attempt at that, the spr and are you having those kinds of discussions with other foreign leaders because obviously you want to do this with international concurrence. >> jim, the suggestion that energy issues were among the topics discussed by the british prime minister and the president should not be surprising. energy issues were among the topics discussed in the meetings that they had. it is inaccurate as was reported today that any kind of agreement was re

. >> that something new happened at mid-day when reuters suggested the gas supply would unexpectedlyd those manipulating the market panicked. a response to the report suggested an agreement had been reached for britain and the u.s. to release reserves. >> i can say very clearly that the report suggesting that any kind of an agreement was reached on a course of action with regard to those energy issues, that any agreement was reached with a time table associated with it, that report is false. it is not accurate. >> let's talk gas with the radio host of ring of fire and the majority report. good evening sam. >> good evening, keith. >> when the reuters article came out, the crude oil futures dropped by as much as $4 on the british market, $2 a barrel on the u.s. market. does this tell us all we need to know about why gas prices are where they are in this country today? >> i think it comes pretty close. we know over the past 10-15 years the amount, the relationship between speculators and those people actually using the commodity of oil has basically flipped. it used to be 30% speculator

if reuters is correct. we have one more question we need answered, what percentage of the non-greek jurisdiction debt has been tendered. if they get 4% to 5% of that debt, you hit 90%, and then in theory, we see no triggering of credit default swaps. that's what we're waiting to see. if that's what happens, that was unexpected. and it will show that greece's advisers played a masterful manipulation game when it comes to the markets. so we wait to see. we find out maybe at 1:00 a.m. eastern time. bottom line, though, maria, that doesn't change the fact that we are at a very bad moment with the european union and eurozone. this is a moment that two years ago unanimously european leaders said would never happen. a eurozone country was never not going to meet its obligations, and we are learning that that is completely untrue. and it is happening right now. >> yeah, michelle, they're not calling it a default, right? tell us how this plays out in the coming weeks, in terms of that big deadline that greece faces

now, reuters, and i'm not an expert on this. but the press had been asking for that information for a couple of years with foia in the sx and getting absolutely nowhere. i think they were interested to see this video when it was relea released. i think the perception of the bub public is they had a right to see this video -- in terms of trying to get away from this whack a mole, correct me if i'm wrong but i don't think that under what you've described that if the whole thing were gone through under the current situation that the pentagon would feel they need to release that information to reuters. so therefore i think the public has seen information illicitly released which they think should have been released but wouldn't be released under the current regimen of foia even as you suggest leahy and others are trying to get it. and i recognize it's an important issue because of the issues of national security. but can you tell me how congress responds to what is a widely held public perception? >> i think it's difficult to addres

this is with reuters. they quote him saying he did not want to hide anything. he actually had to go up against the police to release those 911 calls. >> yeah. and it makes you ask more questions about the police department. first of all, whether or not a mayor has direct authority, if he gets into the controversy and tells the police department to do something. odds are they're going to do it and there could be a lot of questions about why a politician was getting involved. why an elected politician is going out publicly in a manner which at this point, tamron, really needs to be handled by law enforcement. whatever it says or whatever it means, it strongly indicates this police department was not being as forthcoming as they should have been because why the heck does the mayor have to get into the act and be telling them to release documents in the first place? >> you're the form he u.s. attorney for the state of florida. the state where this is happening. what do you believe is taking place behind the scenes? what kind of information -- i know you know a lot

reuters is reporting that the u.s.in have come to an agreement to releasase strategic oil resevens. what is -- reserves. what is the potential political impact and why is this move being made now? fox news digital politics editor chris stirewalt is host of the "power play" on foxnews.com live. and among everything else, you are a seer because you wrote today that mr. obama would eventually release oil from our nation's strategic petroleum reserve. [laughter] it appears that he has decided to do this just that. >> if i'm a seer, jon, i'm a seer into the past, and politicians generally if they have the chance to give away free gasoline to people before an election, they're going to like that opportunity. that's something that they're going to want to do, and certainly we saw last year when gasoline prices -- now, this was later in the year, but last year when gas got so high, president obama not only tapped the u.s. strategic oil reserve, but as we see in the case with prime minister david cameron, convinced our western
