the day-to-day management of the programs under the administration on aging and the administration of developmental disabilities will relatively remain unchanged, with the current program staff containing the assignments. kathy is now the administrator for the new federal agency. henry, the former director of the office of disability, is now the principal deputy administrator and remains a senior adviser to secretary sebelius on issues pertaining to disabilities. so that is the disability committee. we have direct access to the secretary. chairman louis is the commissioner for the administration for now the newly formed intellectual and developmental disabilities. on that the aging said, mr. walker serves as the deputy assistant secretary for aging, advocating on behalf of older americans. now this new federal agency will seek to enhance and improve a broad range of support that individuals may need to live with respect and dignity as full members of our community. this needs to go well beyond health care. it includes the availability of private housing, employment, education, meaning

transparent administration? >> this is less transparent than the bush administration. they fight us on virtually every document request we've made. we've made almost a thousand. we filed over a hundred lawsuits. the problem with this administration is they talk a line of transparency but they fight you to death in courts. whether it be fast and furious, you have to go to court. >> sean: and benghazi and solyndra. >> it's not just about obama, it's all the president's men. the real villain is arguably eric hold are. his justice department is evil when it comes to public policy discussions. >> you say executive privilege. that is a year into the process. they fight congress tooth and nail to release any documents. about the film that is show shocking it's literally like tom said, now it's benghazi and univision came out with more people in mexico. >> sean: thousands of guns. kids that were mowed down. these are assault weapons. look who they are giving it to, to cartel members. to known drug dealers with no means of tracking it. here, go kill people. by the way, for almo

approximately 25 years which i was zoning administrator. you have the facts of this case pretty clearly before you. there is a unique circumstance to it and it does provide this for the yard and air for this particular lot without the owner of the lot asking for that variance. up until 1946 there were no way to enforce it if no one brought it before the planning staff to look at and there was a period of time when the assessors office -- complying the ordinance. a number of laws were established and technically violations of planning code. 1960 the planning department identified most of the lots but there was no process to give notice to the owners. the only way it ever came up to be correct side people would file for applications for the property. the department would then require a variance. i think i ran out of time i am here to answer questions but i think this is a premature determination on behalf of the zoning administrator. the property owner hasn't been given the opportunity to find a way the property could be made to comply withou

we know now that w the obama administration ignored all this. a new attack was going on and what else do you need to know? america is under attack, why don't you call up the senate and italy and say you guys are on station, get some aircraft over there. neil: we had the same situation developing with a british diplomat and they were in fact backed up by british military soldiers. my bigger point is when you hear about this, obviously you have the cynical view the administration thinks it is best to lay low on this, because most americans when all said and do done, a lot of horrible things that happen to good people, too bad people, to a lot of people in the american people are reminded it is libya, the middle east, crackpot, no big deal. i may be being oversimplified, but that seems to enter into their calculations. >> one of the things they said was mrs. evidence perhaps of an unwillingness to respond. they probably said it is not a big deal, if you people get killed over there, it is better than us having a big military presence over there. i

reviewing documents relating to what's within the zoning administrator's jurisdiction. i guess i feel this is throwing us into a battle that we don't really belong. one of you said probably ultimately going to end up in a different venue anyway, so with that in my mind i'm not sure what action to take. i think it is to up hold the zoning administrator. >> we have to find abuse in discretion and if you think the discretion was abused in issuing the letter then we have to provide grounds for it. >> well, i guess i don't. >> i don't either. >> okay. do you have a motion? >> i would move to uphold the lod at issue on the grounds that i did not find abuse of discretion. >> or error? >> or error. >> okay. >> so we have a motion from the president to uphold this revised lod on the basis there was no error or abuse or discretion on the zoning administrator. on that motion. vice president fung. >> no. >> commissioner hurtado is absent. >> commissioner lazarus. >> aye. >> thank you. the vote is two to one. >> again it fails without enough votes but operation of law. lod is upheld

who is responsible for the obaml administration's falsened administration's false statements about what happened and then cossey and why.e all statements that were made by the white house and ambassador susan rice period. catherine herridge learned today that neither the director of national intelligence, nor the acting cia director, was responsible forrepairing preparing a report that partially blamed the benghazi attack on amateurish youtube anti-islam video. they claim the president obama pressed upon the american people and upon the united nations general assembly. he was push hard to explain what caused them to push the youtube video three days after that attack. the chief said simply he was not at the betray -- petraeus briefing and had nothing to say. there was demonstrable and incurable evidence of their involvement and no evidence of anytng other than a terrorist attack. and the administration continued to press its false tale, despite fox news reporting and they reported within 24 hours, u.s. intelligence agencies monomania that the attack was an act of terrorism with ties to

a second reagan administration." dennis has great experience in dealing with second administrations, did it not just with ronald reagan, but on the other side of the aisle with president bill clinton, which he saw up close from the inside. both of those administrations had fascinating initiatives in the middle east. dennis was not involved in the most noteworthy hostages, but he was involved in the most noteworthy issue in the clinton administration, the final year of the second term. on my left is jim jeffrey, a visiting fellow at the washington institute. just retired from there, and completed the tour as ambassador in iraq. jim served as u.s. ambassador to turkey, on the front lines of two of iran's neighbors, and lest we forget, also on the front lines of two of syria's neighbors. jim had a fascinating purr much in recent time to look at two of thee most important issues on the administration's ajeep da. jim also knows about second terms from his experience as deputy national security adviser in the bush administ

>> obama administration like the bush administration let it get out of hand you give them food they promise weapons development. >> starve them to death? >> no, you try to isolate the regime, try to infiltrate the country and bring out the best if the people, but isolate them. at end of the day they are starving their people. >> they are isolated already north korea, people are starving to death there. >> you go there a lot with frank lynn graham. we are in a dangerous time, the japanese and koreans are not getting nuclear weapons because they know we are in the region. chinese have a lot of leverage over north korea. if you wanted to change north korean policy have the chinese help you. the chinese are making the security council in the united nations a joke. russians are running over us in the united nations feeling no threat from defying america. i would have a tougher policy with china, vis-a-vis north korea. >> from nuclear threats to terrorist threats to economic threats. u.s. facing tough foreign policy challenges ahead. our special edition of on the record continues, next. of weigh,

and we're not sure the zoning administrator would issue it this zoning administrator is different from the last one and this zoning administrator state he had may not issue a rear yard variance again. even if issued again, the neighbors would appeal it. i have spoken here a number of times about the doctrine of vested rights in which courts have told administrative bodies including many years ago your commission that once a permit is issued and it's issued validly and a person spendion substantial money and time and reliance on, it it's a vested right that the city cannot take away. and i believe that vested right exists here. and that it's not appropriate to take it away by doing effectively denying the variance by not allowing an extension, when an extension will be necessary. again, the finding that others in the neighborhood have a property right, have parking, and that is appropriate to give to this owner was never appealed. this appellant despite being part of a neighborhood group having brought two appeals already, and this one, despite being a like party to file a discretionary

that is if the obama administration allows it.o, steve, you've been out to the shale in north dakota where it's coming from, and fracking so-called, and drilling and private risk taking. what does it mean for the u.s. energy markets? >> well, this is such a great, great pro american stir and by the way, paul, it's not just oil, it's also natural gas. >> paul: right, sure. >> my goodness we have more natural gas than the rest of the world combined and it's driven by the technological improvements and a five or ten year technological lead than the countries we're competing with. it's interesting, paul, if you look the at the last three or four years, now what industry has created more than any other industry in the united states. >> paul: the electric car industry, steve? (laughter) >> no, not that one. oil and gas and the thing that's so amazing, the president is doing almost everything he can to try to hold this back with regulations and with not allowi allowing permitting most of the oil and gas development is going out on privat

administration. at this moment, if i can, just remind people, if you could please turn your cell phones off, not just to silent, but totally off, we are broadcasting live on c-span and we have other esteemed members of the -- of the journalist world here with us filming and recording. now, each of my colleagues has special experience dealing with second terms. my colleague, dennis ross, who leads off, first came to the white house at the beginning of the second term, the second reagan administration. in fact, the first publication at the washington institute before going into the second reagan administration, you didn't think he was that old, did you? the second reagan administration was our first ever publication titled middle east policy planning for a second reagan administration so dennis has great experience in dealing with second administrations. he did it not just with roomed reagan, but with the other side of the aisle with president bill clinton which he saw up close from the inside. both ad

in fact, i had seen an article in may of 2010 that indicated that this administration, the obama administration, sided with israel's enemies in demanding that israel disclose any nuclear weapons. we had never sided with israel's enemies in trying to push israel into doing something against its own interests. when you're a very small country surrounded by countries that want to see you go away, it is important that they not know all of your defenses. going back in the old testament, you find history, king his kaija -- king hezekiah showing all the defenses they had in their armory he showed them to the leaders from babylon. as a result, ultimately that kingdom was lost to the babylonians. you don't show other nations, even people you think are friends at the moment they may turn into enemies. it's important that your enemies and even your friends not know all of your defenses. and yet we sided with israel's enemies, or at least this administration did. the result we saw within just two or three days, a flotilla head from turkey to challenge the blockade of the gaza strip. it was a legitimate, la

i agree with judy, what is susan rice doing representing the administration on these talk shows?he had nothing to to do with this, why is she the point person. >> it's not her fault. maybe have an administration with putting her out there, but not to say she shouldn't be secretary of state because she's somehow wrong here, but we have a fair amount of excavating to do, and on friday, peter king, i think an exclusive for fox and megyn kelly saying listen we now know that the cia, peter king knows that the cia initial chronology, benghazi's acts was altered somewhere along the way, did susan rice alter it herself, does she know who altered it. and the hearings under oath are going to be epic, somehow the petraeus version, which petraeus is willing to explain now that he's liberated from the obama administration, rice her fate is going to answer for a whole bunch of coverups. if she's such a shrinking violet and needs the president to defend herself and doesn't know about benghazi or libya, why would she be nominated secretary of state. would you nominate such a light weight. >> and

another the obama administration well. nonetheless -- i know that the obama administration will. there is a " that may be miss attributed that says, you may not be interested in law, but law is interested in you. we may not be focused on the economy, but the middle east including its laws are interested in us. our transition out of iraq has led to a perception in some circles that the united states is withdrawing from the region. this is not true. we are building up just on the military side. -- their defense and other support for israel. missile defense systems in turkey. a very strong development of coalition defense capabilities in the gulf and continued operations against al qaeda. that is one of the first things that the obama administration will have to do is deal with the perception that on the military side we are pulling out. we are not, but the perception is out there. as dennis said, iran is critical. he went to the main reasons why iran is so focused on our attention are why we have some much attention on it. i would like to add that in looking at the depth of the pro

, first the bush administration.e obama administration. but they include, of course, arm, equipping, financing and training terrorists who are killing our soldiers in iraq and afghanistan. that has been going on forever. it's gotten virtually no response. the obama administration designated the senior iranian officials for what they call the core pipeline, supplying al-qaeda, operatives and money that goes through iran in to pakistan. that is a big deal. that is our threat. that is our enemy in this war on terror that we continue to fight even though the president doesn't call it that. so this is, in the big scheme of things, this is yet another example of why the regime in iran is the problem. you can have negotiations about iran's nuclear program. but the regime is the core problem. >> bret: i guess is this a sign that iran is getting more bold? >> it's a sign, they are telegraphing to us. to the hardliners and softliners. and their government as well, they are not afraid in the united states, they know that they h

the bush administration organized its iraq policy in another way. there are several models out there but it is important that i ran not be seen as one of 10 or 15 problems we have to deal with on a daily basis. iran is problem number one and will be for awhile. there are plenty of other problems in the middle east. first, syria -- i concur with everything dennis said. first of all, for the longest time, many people thought the fall of assad was inevitable so we would not have to do that much to provoke it. i'm not so sure, not because i don't think this insurgency is effected. i have been on the receiving end of a number of insurgencies in my career is. this is a very powerful and effective one. iran has command -- has committed -- syria has committed powerful friends that appear to be ready to go to the mat to make sure the assad regime will stay in power. that is russia and iran. the result could be an assad that stays in power, an iranian victory that will mark the good for our efforts to move iran to the negotiating table on nuclear weapons, and

the administration made no phone call. the president made no phone call. the secretary of state made no phone call and 10 days ago, a south carolina u.s. senator grahaham made a phone call and got the fbi access. so there is a lot lacking in terms of seriousness of purpose. you are a former prosecutor. i defended cases. the president should have made a call to the tukneesian embassy that day and gotten access right away. >> i don't disagree. but i don't know the facts. but i know we have an aggressive investigation and we have people going to other countries. have you to work with the countries and identify where the individuals are. in one of the key areas is to find the people who are responsible and bring them to justice -- >> greta: let me give you another example. i don't mean to put out hot spot. >> no, that's all right. >> greta: the fbi and finally got into the consulate two weeks after the incident. and no doubt the scene was contaminated -- absolutely. that was in late september. on october 26, not the fbi, but foreign policy dot-com, a journalis

prior to becoming mayor, he served as city administrator where he focused on government efficiency and measures and reforms that reduced the size and cost of government. mayor lee first began working for the city and county of san francisco in 1989 as the investigator for the city's first whistle blower program. prior to employment with the city and county of san francisco, he was the managing attorney for the asian law caucus. i first met ed in 1992 when he became the executive director for the human rights commission and we were both 16. that's two decades ago, ed. i watched him soon become the director of city purchasing and then going on to become the director of public works. i think ed is the only mayor in city history that can carry tlau on the campaign promise to fill the potholes because he actually knows how and he's the only mayor in city history that can say he actually knows every single city street because his crews probably paved them. i have had the privilege of working alongside ed for many years in city government. he has always been a cherished colleague and friend t

, obama administration. where are you going -- were i going to get this money to build all those additional ships? and, where are you going to get the sailors quote your increase in utah by increasing the marines and the army to stop the downsizing. and navy has been downsizing for quite a while but where are you going to get the sailors commend all those additional ships? you know, you want to double the shipbuilding budget. >> first of all, my understanding is that when john, john lehman laid out a very, very specific plan, there were two elements the governor has already spoken about, and another element that is being considered. the two that were spoken about were, first of all, the 15 ships a year. and second of all, this three submarines a year. so the rest of it is what we were, would consider. i mean, these are objectives, number one. number two is the question of how you move the money around. and when you move the money and where you take the additional money that is, you know, we predict we would

it shows that the administration had been told. have enough personnel to with strand a coordinated attack. we have extremist nearby . we are requesting additional help and yet what we got from the administration time and again, no help for the people in benghazi, and lying to the american public and this explains why they were talking about a spontanous demonstration and why the administration was blaming it on a video. because they knew that if the word got out that they were explicitly warned one month before the emergency meeting and the cable went to everyone. they decided to do nothing. four americans died and that is what the american public needs to remember. >> in one of those vocal critics is antior john mccain saying that the obama administration is a classic scandal and cover up with water gate overtonings, do you agree with that? >> i think it is far worse than a cover up. a cover up is bad enough and i do believe that there a cover up . i agree with what ambassador john bolton said. he think is it part of the vision th

the benghazi cable is truly a disaster for the above administrations and? >> also the drip drip drip real documentation the administration knew what was happening in realtime requesting additional security for over one month, repeatedly denied while the attack was under way they rectified the three times additional military support. >> it is the foreign policy matter people think in a distant sense but the time where people can connect on a human level. calls for help, people lost their lives calls went to unanswered and officials were told to stand down. it will not affect the election in but as i am not sure the end of the day will have a difference on tuesday lou: what would? 27 million unemployed and an economy slowing and the president who has spoken and not the truth it we have a clear statement as we can have thinking that we are the tools so we don't have a memory for foreign policy. >> to change the dialogue from the past to make the case to get off of cleanup to the question of the economy. the poll said it is dead even at -- even but economic lea

not the obama administration.have already solidified their approach but how cautious is the said it? >> after tomorrow two minutes after he is if there the leaks will start. and that is where it will go then you will get answers. >> how did she have no comment? some questions require yes or no. was there a call for help or not? that is a yes or no. lou: thank you to reporting of katherine harris and jenna fur griffin. we will take this up and your analysis. what is the president's strategy with the fiscal cliff? i am so tired of that expression but we will use it bar. be patient.capil ventur we will be right back. t sacked . but it's our tradition! that's roughing the card holder. but with the capital one venture card you get double miles you can actually use. [ cheering ] any flight, anytime. the scoreboard doesn't lie. what's in your wallet? hut! i have me on my fantasy team. lou: amassed a best seller on the sub ministration. republican leaders in washington about this very thing. whether they are right or wron

>> well, that makes the administration behavior inexplicable. when they were looking in to this, thinking they there might have been breach of security or blackmail of the man who holds all of our secrets when it really was an national security risk nobody says anything. congress isn't even informed. he isn't suspended tetch rarely or anything. and then at the very end when they conclude, that it was nothing to do with national security, there were no bridges or dangers. the danger is over and obviously petraeus believes that he is in the clear, they drop the sword and get rid of him. they reveal the story that disgraces him. that makes no sense at all. >> bret: we will obviously continue all of this. the coverage. we'll have you back in studio and not in the aquarium charles. thank you very much from san diego. panel, thank you. that is it for the panel. stay tupeed for some final election thoughts. >> bret: finally tonight, reporters and anchors have a big job, of course, on election night informing the public of the results from many races an

who have received the support of our school site administrators to encourage them to get this out and talk about it and to create an alternative or to help other students or to educate others stop the practices or to interpret what bullying is. a lot of us didn't know what that was. now if you allow generations to think there's no consequence, bullying becomes harassment, harassment becomes physical with scars and then you've got, i hate to say the word, but you have gangs of kids who don't know the difference. that's what we naed to educate ourselves on. as i've said and if i have identified all the different players, it does take a village to raise our kids. it does require us to understand not only what happens in the classroom, what happens on the school grounds, what happens in programs that we all cherish so much on and off our school sites, it's online and it's off-line that we also have to concern ourselves with. it is with kids that have both parents and kids without the parents at home that it's happening. we need to embrace a full court program on this because the numbers t

shows the administration asked her to do it was she. yeah secondly the information that she put out and this is why they this is why the three amigos met with the head director of the cia she said on television exactly what the cia said here's what we know but they don't condemn but later they were false five days later she was she was speaking they knew a day later that that narrative was faults and five days later she went on five shows and said basically put out a false narrative for the election so should the question be instead of so let's take this woman down because she says she made a false narrative should the question be why would it in ministration official who knows what she's saying on t.v. is wrong saying that could it be that there's actually national security issues a state could be that maybe she's trying to protect assets on the ground it load of the interview there's a eyes on there's huge national security you guys are a bunch of moloch six times a relational policy of the united states government to go on the talk s

so what we did this year, when all of our administrators came back from summer break, every administrator from principals to the purchasing manager, everyone saw bully this year. and we spent a full year with our bifl department of student, family and community resources, we spent a full day debriefing that movie and going through a process where we talked about it and it was amazing to see grown adults having these realizations about what bullying meant to them and having a commitment from every administrator in our district that we will not allow that to happen this year and that will be one of the focus areas this year. so the ability to have these children now watch the movie as well was extremely moving to us yesterday. i just have to share one anecdote from that movie. we had a question and answer session at the end of the movie and lee hirsch was there, unsolicited, he was not a plant, a student stood up, he was probably an athlete, strong, good-looking young man, he stood up and said what can i do when i get back to my school to make a difference? can we start a club, can we have
