the independent panel's report concluding systemic failures at the state department led to the attack that killed ambassador chris stevens and three other americansding security in benghazi was grossly inadequate and that repeated requests to beef up personnel at the consulate were ignored by leaders in washington and that ultimately there was a lack of traps par transparency, responsiveness and leadership senior levels. alise, what is your takeaway from this report? >> i think that basically what this report is saying is that there were repeated not only requests for security, but warning signs, there were a lot of attacks on western targets in benghazi in the months leading up to the september 11th attack. there was even an ied attack on the consulate itself. and what it's saying is that these senior leaders of the state department kind of failed to see those warning signs and act accordingly. they were relying on local militias to protect the consulate and also kind of not seasoned security personnel, sending a lot of temporary personnel to the site to protect the embassy, which obviously didn't prove to be enough. let me read you a little bit

americans. despite that review, the panel determined no individual american officials ignored or violated their duties, and no disciplinary action was needed. in addition, the board found there was no protest and blamed the incident entirely on terrorists. both sides appear to be even closer to a deal with regard to the fiscal cliff, but just in case negotiations stall house republican leaders are pitching a plan b. under the backup plan, tax rates for those earning more than $1 million a year would increase to 39.6%. democrats quickly rejected the suggestion. hundreds of baltimore city temporary school employees will lose their jobs before christmas. administrators say they are making the cuts to avoid duplicating positions, some of which have been on the payroll more than three years. the president of the teachers' union spoke with us -- she says the move will help school officials make good on contract promises. >> we have a surplus in place. >> jobs being filled by temporary employees. >> apparently they have been killed by temporary employees -- that is a problem. >> for the system. >> for

the independent panel reports the security that killed four americans was grossly inadequate. coming up at 5:15 how secretary of state hillary clinton is responding to the panels criticism. >>> let's get you going this morning. out the door. sal, did you have to sit and warm up the car for awhile? i know you were concerned about black ice on the road. >> that is right. absolutely. warming up the car you might want to warm it up so it's nice temperature inside for you. don't leave the keys in it. and also the black ice possibility just make sure that if you find yourself skidding the worst thing to do is hit the breaks suddenly. you'll pump those brakes or slow down if you can just by getting up on the accelerator. let's take a look at the pictures on 80 westbound heading out to the mccarthur maze. no major problems driving out to the maze and the metering lights are not on at the toll plaza. we also look at the torch plaza and look at the traffic coming into the city. christmas is less than a week away. we will see people take time off that will make it easier for those that ha

embarrassment to the president and both sides of the aisle and both the house and of the senate panel without a deal, americans will face over $530 billion in tax increases at $110 billion in spending cuts for the military and other federal agencies. federal workers could be furloughed or laid off. brain-dead need across-the-board spending cuts to get the same percentage cuts to wasteful and on needed program, another sticking point is deficit-reduction. >> market remains a wild card. if no deal is rich -- is reached, we face more financial insecurity. >> negotiations continue in the house and senate but there is still i lot of doubt that an agreement can be reached by midnight. >> thank you. maryland could lose hundreds of millions of dollars and tens of thousands of jobs if we go off the" -- off the fiscal cliff. we have more on how the gridlock in d.c. is impacting us across the border in maryland. >> it partisan politics prevail and the cat -- deal, some say maryland could shoulder a greater burden than some other states. the department of legislative services put together a report that estimates just tell

americans. an independent panel probing the incident found -- panel vice chair admiral mike mullen unveiled thereport's conclusions wednesday. >> the board found the attacks in benghazi, libya, were security related. responsibility for the loss of life, the injuries and damage to u.s. facilities rests completely and solely with the terrorists who conducted the attacks. that does not mean there are not lessons to be learned. the board found the security posture of the special mission compound was inadequate for the threat environment in benghazi and in fact, grossly inadequate to deal with the attack that took place that night. >> among the issues cited in the report is the high turnover rate of your security staff, faulty security equipment, and the use of unreliable local militias. the report found certain senior state department officials -- they didn't recommend disciplinary action against any individuals. secretary of state hillary clinton has accepted all 29 of the panel's recommendations. dozens of protesters turned out of the new jersey port to picket a container ship from bangladesh car

panel. the american people support the freedom. >> is there any new gun regulation that you could support? >> i'll tell what you would work right now. tomorrow morning, and the nra would be there every step of the way, if president obama would walk in and tell the attorney general of the united states to tell every u.s. attorney if you catch a drug dealer on the street with a gun, prosecute him and take him off the street, violent felon, violent criminal, take him off the street. >> so there's no new gun regulation you would support? >> this is what would work. >> i'm asking you a drirect question. is there any enough drug regulation you would support? after the debates of the 90s and today, could we make the assault weapon ban better -- >> you want one more law on top of 20,000 laws when most of the federal gun laws we don't even enforce. if every u.s. attorney would do only ten cases a month that, would be 12,000 cases. if they would do 20 a month, it would be 24,000 cases. that would get the worst people in the country that are killing people off the street. right now, david, do you kno

american people stand. if all of the people are there to represent us, meaning the people who are watching right now and the panel included here, we are all americans, we pay taxes, then why isn't this work getting done? >> well, just look at speaker boehner's fiscal cliff proposal. three-page letter with three simple bullet points. that's the entire proposal to deal with the fiscal cliff and starts out with the sentence that's remarkable, tamron. first sentence is because the election is a status quo, both sides have to compromise. they didn't see what happened. they just dismissed it as a status quo election and this is not just speaker boehner we eric cantor and paul ryan, kevin mccarthy. the entire house republican leadership signed on to the so-called fiscal cliff proposal letter. they're not serious about negotiating. i don't know the right wing and the tea party of who the republican party is nowadays but it's impossible to have a deal with one side refuses to compromise even after losing. they will not accept their own defeat. >> right. >> and that is the problem. >> a.b. let's play what congressman walte

our panel, it occurred to me, and i went online to find a chinese event that is being held right now looking at u.s. grand strategy, canada, japan and india. there are no canadian, japanese americans or canadians on china's panel. don't have any chinese with us today but we should have a lot of fun discussing that our national strategies but involving in the asian pacific region and with china but i want to acknowledge that that voice wasn't with us today. that might give us more room to run. because we don't have a chinese voice on face, some years ago going to china and than the equivalent of the policy planning director and i said finally i can ask china but its grand strategy is. this is about 2004. and i said what is your grand strategy? he says how to keep the americans distracted and small middle eastern countries. [laughter] that seems to be shifting. as we discuss this one of the interesting things again, i know this is not a u.s. panel not just two days ago our national security advisor, tom, gave a very interesting speech of the center for strategic and international studies that relate of the reasons and rationale for a and a rebalancing of american assets in the world

presiding over the war in afghanistan, president obama adds his name to the list of american war-time presidents. our all-star panel of presidential historians is back with a look at these war-time presidents and how they responded to times of national security crises. executive editor of random house and pulitzer prize-winning historian john meacham, best-selling presidential historian doris kearns goodwin, and ferris professor of journalism at princeton university and author of an upcoming biography about president eisenhower, evan thomas. thanks for joining us. >> doris, obviously lbj, vietnam, one of the great examples of how a war can shatter a presidency. >> or on the other hand a war provides a president with a chance to summon the nation to a great cause. and a lot of our presidents have felt without a war they'll never be great. so that theodore roosevelt's one of the few that is a near great president. because of his personality, he didn't have a war. when lincoln was a young man, he lamented the fact the rep re public had been formed, all the great guys were on mountains, rivers, and streams and his gene

american people. i'm sore troy say the solar panels are at the smithsonian, they are museum pieces.s say about our commitment, where we are today, in protecting the environment? >> well, it says that the protection of environment goes up and down in america. basically because of the attitude of the president. and when president reagan came in, he removed the solar panels and sent them to a college up in, i think, connecticut. now we have one of the solar panels at the carter center, the museum, and number one producer of solar panels in the world in china, also bought one of the solar panels. so they have brought a lot of money in for that small college. we need to have consistency in america and committing ourselves to preserving the environment, protecting us from global warming which is real and we need leadership coming from the white house every day saying we need to do something about global warming. that hasn't happened yet. my hope is in president obama's second term he'll be the leader of the world and not lagging behind the other nations in doing something about global war

it is a real pleasure for me to moderate this panel of very distinguished americans and public servants. thank you, congressman, for your presentation. i had the honor of serving as a senate staffer here for nearly 27 years. almost all of that time was spent here in this committee room. working for the chairman. i never sat up here. i can tell you that. during that time, we did many budgets. bills were debated, discussed, and some were adopted. one of those pieces of legislation, 22 years ago, was the budget reconciliation act of 1990. that implemented the budget agreement negotiated over many months. we are fortunate to have with us on this first panel, some of the key participants in that debate. unfortunately, two key individuals, senator robert, at that time, a director, and dick, are no longer with us. we cannot understate the critical role both played in this debate, whether one agreed or disagreed with them. the further back one looks, the further ahead one can see. we will look back on budget deliberations with an eye on looking forward. are there any lessons to be learned from

i would like to thank the panel and thank the chairman for this particular hearing. i think the americans' understanding of what's going on in iran and around iran is so clicheed that it really is a threat to making the policies that we need to make that will benefit the united states as well as benefit the cause of world peace. most people only know that the mullahs in iran are oppressive to their own people and have said they're going to wipe out israel, and that's it. and today -- and most people think all iranians are persians. today's testimony is going to te of great assistance for laying the foundation for, perhaps, new policies that will be approached in the coming year. let me just note and, mr. chairman, for the record, i have a copy of hcon resolution 137 which is a resolution that i submitted earlier this year which basically states that the people, the asara people who we've heard in testimony, number up to 20 million people in the iran, those people have a right of self-determination to determine what their status will be in the future, whether it's a status as part of azerb
