their strategy was isolate bp. make this a bp problem. but even within that -- because bp is the largest producer of oil and natural gas in the united states. so if you're going to save the bp problem you're going to take a gamble you're saying half of the oil and natural gas produced in the united states is dangerous. so they said it's a bp problem. but it was a fluke. and that spin worked. and one of the reasons why it was able to work was, unfortunately, because the obama administration, on which i had named my last book -- while this administration is not an oil administration, it certainly isn't the way the last administration was, it doesn't get its money from the oil industry. it certainly gets its money from industry but it's the finance industry not the oil industry. even this government is not immune from the incredible weight and financial lobbying and pressure of the oil industry. and even this government sucame to that pressure and the key moment that peter mentioned and john mentioned when basically public attention was comp

the bp clean water act lawsuit, bp transocean at al. we are in the middle of a giant litigation morass. there have been, we just found out today 100,000 lawsuits now filed over the bp oil spill, 100,000 that doesn't include ken feinberg's payoff, payment scheme. that is a separate deal. a lot of these are big toxic tort cases, people who lost their livelihoods and didn't take the compensation route from bp, and it is really amazing to see. are returning as part of the plaintiff steering committee in this thing. it is very cumbersome group. it is very important that public interest in environmental groups be in there because as good as trial lawyers are and they are trying to do the best they can for their reed clients, public interest environmental groups have a different outlook on things. it is our goal to try to get as much as a money as possible, the 19 billion back to the gulf for restoration and not to bobby jindal's crazy sand barriers or any crackpot ideas he has come up with to spend the money. we wanted to be spent on bill res

bp is to be commended for coming to the table with their checkbook.it's a very important thing to keep in mind. taken to the table with tourism fund some seafood safety marketing funds and we very much appreciate that. i want to paint the box we're in today. as you very well know better than i do come of this country is facing fiscal challenges to read our state is facing fiscal challenges. there's a $1 billion cap on the light of the trust fund to fund the oil spill response activities including $1 billion cap. we are over $900 million of expenses from this disaster so far, and so the only force of money for us in this case is bp. it's the only source of funding to a large degree to fund response, nrda operations. mr. chairman, i think the creation needs to be flipped over. i think the public should be in the driver's seat by being able to control check but you can control what is in the work plans, how the nrda assessments are conducted. the timeline of the assessment perhaps losing access to the data because of the negotiations on going with fees'

how did the obama administration handle last year's bp oil spill off the gulf coast? a hearing on capitol hill will start in about 25 minutes from now some republican lawmakers plan to criticize the response to that crisis. coming up at 6:15 we'll bring you a live report from our washington d.c. newsroom. you'll hear some of the comments from the head of the committee holding that hearing this morning. >>> the united states and pakistan forming a joint intelligence team now to go after top terrorism suspects in pakistan this follows secretary of state hillary clinton's visit to pakistan last week. she gave pakistan officials a list of the most wanted terrorist targets. the joint intelligence team is part of an attempt to restore trust between the u.s. and pakistan after american forces killed osama bin laden during a secret raid in pakistan last month. >>> the pastor of a menlo park church is on leave this morning in the bay area's latest church sex scandal. the archdiocese of san francisco relieved the father of his duties after learning he struggles with a sexual ad

national oil companies, audi arabia, not the investor owned companies like she have rhonest, exxon, bp. >> the price stays relatively flat. so when the price of oil change, propertieses can enormous or much smaller, but the cost of getting it out of the ground stays stable. >> i love it when the reports come out and they say everybody is making too much money. of course they make a lot of oil, gasoline, jet fuel about. so what gets reported is that. about but when you step back for everybody who looks at earning, it's always net income versus revenue sales.t but when you st everybody who looks at earning, it's always net income versus revenue sales. but when you ste everybody who looks at earning, it's always net income versus revenue sales.but when you step everybody who looks at earning, it's always net income versus revenue sales. but when you look at cents on the dollar, our companies are flat in the middle. so we make 6 to 7 cents on the dollar depends. u.s. average, all other industry, 6 to 7 cents on the dollar. so there's just as many people who make more than the oil companies

slick on the gulf of mexico, but the fears should clear quickly as the tests show no connections to the bp oil spill last year. to the oil spill last year. a captain snapped these photos monday morning showing murky substance near the water's surface. it stretches out for about seven miles. east of new mexico, about 55 miles from the micando well last was blown out. critics have maintains that bp couldn't have dispersed all of that oil, and they said it was only a matter of time before that oil reappeared. this is not the first time concern has been sparked about oil show egback up in the gulf of mexico. but the cause is under investigation. >>> now to presidential politics, and a shocker this afternoon. worry that all of newt gingrich's campaign staffers have quit. david gregory is with me from washington. what is behind this? >> this could be a very difficult blow for newt gingrich. what is behind this is a disagreement from his top aides on how to continue with his campaign. the decision that gingrich made to travel with his wife on a cruise for two weeks at a critical time. he went on

that is not to take away bp's ultimate responsibility.ut this committee reviews government actions both prospectively and retrospectively. we cannot expect to do a better job next time if we do not focus on what was done right and what was done wrong in this disaster. the government made several decisions under its authority. one of them was not to use stafford act. and, in fact, to leave the very entity that created this pollution in a position of authority and lead. there are many reasons this may have happened, but we have to ask; should it happen again? congress has the clear power and authority to change the rules of the road. we should not have to choose between holding a polluter responsible and 'em pouring -- empowering leaders at the federal, state and local level to do what they are responsible to do on behalf of their citizens. the reimbursement for actions directly and indirectly belongs to british petroleum. they have said they will meet that challenge, and we will hold them to it. but as the days and weeks went on after an i

bp people are still there. it's some oil comes up, they will clean it up promptly.now, this chart is that the wildlife refuge area on the beach. the wildlife service are uneasy about using equipment to clean it up for environmental reasons. it may have to be cleaned by hand, but this is an area that are not public beaches, but is an area of environmental significance. it shows sort of what it would be like had it not been cleaned out. and i do believe the issue has to be confronted with an effective relationship with the fish and wildlife people to determine out to clean that up. so the tourism industry is rebounding, but we need to look at the long range national resource impact of this bill and the losses associated with the net impact. national resource damage assessment nrda process will play a critical part in restoring the gulf coast. battle straight and governmental stakeholders nrda trustees engage in an assessment of damage to the natural resources, including beaches, fisheries, wildlife, water and other resources and takes a look at the loss that occurred.

series of the injured and causes to the oil spill, a variety of human error committed by personnel from bp, transocean, halliburton, etc. it specifically said that enforcing existing regulations would not have prevented the oil spill. >> are there improvements in the regulatory framework and enforcement that could be helpful? >> yes. we have taken many of those steps. our drilling safety role that is addressed to well-designed, well casing and blowout preventers a substantially reduces the risk of another spell like depp -- spill like deepwater horizon. we will never be able to reduce it to zero, we will law. but we have been able to reduce overtime. the regulatory process needs to keep up. i felt -- i hope we can further reduce the process. >> one of the arguments made by governor barber and others is that we have 31,000 oil rigs, the safety rate is fine. one bad apple should not cause us to turn everything on its head. my point to the governor was, but one what of this magnitude -- >> we learned today that lawrence eagleburger former secretary state has died. >> once too many, given the

and it's appropriate to speak about bp as the only bad actor here. that report which is based on a thorough investigation pointed out that halliburton was at fault and transocean was at fault, and as you know, halliburton and transocean the work and provide services in a huge percentage of deepwater -- >> mr. bromwich, isn't it true -- i will go to mr. rusco. isn't it true that the real organization is as much at fault for the delay in the ability to get america working again in the gulf? isn't that what gao study finds is that this is a distracted agency because it's reorganizing? >> i think is a complicating factor. i can't say that it caused the delays. i take mr. bromwich is point that once they decided that the companies needed to demonstrate the ability to contain a blowout, that that was the binding constraint until -- >> and when was that request made? when was the starting date for that? >> i'm going to have to defer spent mr. bromwich, when was the starting date for the requirement that they contain, if the blowout preventers -- >> blowout

so this down payment from bp of $1 billion allows that to get under way. and there is a public process for soliciting ideas about the best restoration projects. we have held 10 open sessions in the gulf and additional ones here in washington. and those ideas about what to restore and where are being folded into the process that will play out over the next couple of years in terms of the allocation of the funds. i think there is a lot of interest in getting on with the restoration, starting with the projects that everybody thinks would be important and that money will be allocated to each of the states in part and to the two federal trustees for projects not only along the coast, but also in the open ocean. so there is now a formal process for funneling money into the early restoration. and i echo your hope that it will go to the right things and right people. >> with the exxon valdez spill, they were steam killing the rocks and killing -- i mean they looked busy, but -- so your point is well taken you want to make sure you are doing something that just doe

i mean a million dollars here and there from bp? i don't understand how that's going to help as much as people say it is providing we have a few billion dollars we need to get in order to fix the damage done and also, what are of the interesting things to make sure this doesn't happen again? we have these psas announcements what is going on to make sure this doesn't happen again not only the unfair mental standpoint but the fishermen standpoint. >> first of all, about the impact, i feel we talked a little about the environmental impact and specifically focusing much of your attention on the impact of seafood the french family oil spill commission as how devastating this bill was to the region. the economy, the tourism industry, the seafood industry, and it was remarkable about how effective with the experts call the social fact. there were people just anxious about things that translated to child abuse and crime. this was on the heels so we shouldn't understand just because we talk about the ecological impact of this bill, this was

why we would subject our fisheries and visitor-based coastal economy to the dangers of a bp-style disaster in oregon waters. we should focus on generating local jobs, not profits for far-off oil companies. we can create these local jobs by investing in the energy industries of the next century that are uniquely suited to the oregon coast. wave energy and next generation offshore wind. oregon can be the saudi arabia of renewable wave energy. wave energy depends on two things, big waves and seabed con tours suited to exploit those waves. oregon has both. oregon is the best place in the world where these two factors come together. as for wind energy, new, next generation technology will allow floating wind farms to be operated 100 miles offshore. these are the jobs of the future and these are the technologies and energy of the future. the chair: the gentleman's time has expired. who seeks time in this debate? mr. schrader: reserve our time. the chair: who seeks time in opposition? the gentleman from kentucky, for what purpose do you rise? >> i rise in opposition to the amendment. the chair: t

remind folks of the president's failure in handling the bp matter and how his buddies are pocketing a huge thfees failing to get the money out to those who need it. asked why america has to be the best oil customer of brazil when we can produce it ourselves. i would like to ask how the green jobs thing is working out for them. as we have all learned, you should publicly ask everyone of them why shovel-ready does not mean shovel-ready. remind folks of how the president fights a war in libya and thumbs his nose at congressional approval. remind the lefties the president did not close guantanamo bay because it irritates the how out of them. -- the hell out of them.

the differing threat isieptions, i think bp is the consider these individuals as threats to them ando the high side. isi. they did not consider the taliban as a threat. if you look at the arrests that were done, a lot of them were done in settled areas, the cities. the urban areas. i think the isi consider these operatives a threat in pakistan in the urban areas. however they did not consider taliban guerrillas in the mountains of the north frontier province as a threat. it is now -- i am familiar. i think that perception continued until recent times when some of these groups have now began to target the pakistani military and target pakistani civilian populations, putting bombs in marketplaces, blowing up tribal areas and attacking the military directly. and not just military but families of the military. they did an attack at a mosque which was attacking the families of the military. if you recall that incident a couple of years ago. this was an attack on muslims playing in a mosque in the military sector. now the terrorists are attacking the military. i think the perception is cha

caller: i would like to know about bp. host: we will leave it there. charles hurt.uest: ron paul is the one candidate that draws equally from both sides. it is amazing. and i did not get what the last caller said. host: the possibility of secretary clinton being added to the democratic ticket as vice president. guest: president obama has done a good job, but what will be interesting is a report last week by reuters that she is angling for job at the world bank. that has sent the clinton people, they are very upset about this league. and the white house is having it down. but that is a far more likely scenario. host: back to our discussion on republican presidential politics. donald online for democrats. caller: one quick question. dot in anybody's right mind they think that rick perry is qualified to be president of the united states? come on. i know that you have heard this before, but we have already had eight tax and -- a texan eight years in the white house. look at what a shaking as he left the country in. and to nominate another but texan did the president, a

spending is just in the last several years present a bush -- president bush brought the age scale of bp -- up, and the government switched to a lot of civilian workers and they work right beside our soldiers and a double and triple what they make. it kind of keeps the morale down for our soldiers. so, i think they should give the jobs back to the soldiers and keep their pay scale up. and a few problems we have in our world, we need to have a military that is in strength. they always say pull the numbers down and make the equipment upscale, but we have ground wars and we have to have strong sold as for that. for the cuts in our government, i think it is condescending and arrogance that the people who are going to get paid like congressmen and senators and will continue to get their benefits way the luck -- above and beyond what civilians get and i think it is arrogant that they would to cut so bad. it will be a culture shock. thank you for letting me call. host: let's take a look at some other news stories. senator john kerry and senator john mccain were in egypt reading the opening bell

i believe the bp spill was an anomaly, and if you look back through history, there are more spills from ships bringing imports than an accident on one of the rigs. i think we need to take that into consideration. [applause] now let's go back to the shale revolution. we must not allow the nation to adopt draconian restrictions that would hinder the development of this great resource. if i will give you an example. the states are in a better position to regulate the fracturing. texas just passed an act that requires the energy and production companies to disclose to the state which chemicals they are injecting into the ground. they do not have to show the formula because they believe it is proprietary. but that is a way to reasonably regulate it and still protect the environment. i congratulate taxes on that. -- texas on that. [applause] in closing, let me share two things that i would pass on to policymakers of energy for my 15 years on the louisiana public rv
