. >> i can tell you with no hesitation and no equivocation that the cost will far exceed anything that our community can bare. we do not have the financial resources to recover from this alone. >> reporter: new york and new jersey have both been declared major disaster areas, which means fema will pay 75% of local governments' costs. the other 25% are shared by state and local governments. fema also has the green light to help families in hard-hit areas pay for damage that's not covered by their insurance plans. the money comes from fema's disaster relief fund. right now, it has $3.6 billion. congress has also allotted an additional $7 billion, and officials say they're confident they can foot the bill. of course, private insurance companies will also pay out claims for damage, early estimates, put the insurance industry's tab at $10 billion. still, some policy holders who didn't separate flood insurance, could be in for a big surprise. >> those policies are available through the national flood insurance program. however, if you didn't have one, you may have a situation where you're no

it's equivocal at best. it sometimes ends up being aggravating, but so far it hasn't panned out. why hasn't it panned out? in part because science isn't quite there yet in that we're able to see some things at a group level, but being able to talk bay single individual to look at their brain and to understand the extent to which their brain differences contribute to their behavior is very challenging. there just isn't enough data for that yet. you can say things at a groupwide level, though. and so kent mentioned earlier the case out of florida in the sue presume court graham in which the court said the juvenile should be treated differently with respect to life without the possibility of parole. the same happened in simmons where the court has treated juveniles differently. it may be the case we can start to do that. we can start to categorize people. we categorized a group of individuals in virginia and said those people who have mental retardation have lesser couple ability for a whole host of reasons, they're more likely to follow people. they're more likely to be subject to

people did not put john boehner into office to equivocate and become a democrat like. tom: you're her the republican party has to change. >> mitt romney moves to the middle on a lot of issues and it got him a lost election. at the end of the day there are issues. there are things that are right and there are things that are wrong. president obama's tax hikes would need to crucify small businesses in this country like along with obamacare, it is a crushing blow to the ethereal spirit and the bottom line. you already see businesses maneuver and they are not going to hire more than 25 employees or work over 30 hours and this tax hike on over people who make under $50,000, the majority of those are small businesses. by the way, this is a big old news flash. 2%. 2.1% of the population makes 250. come on. tom: it is the same answer the president has given before. a lot of surveys lately, we understand, it won't fix the deficit. you think it is going to? no, but what is it for? it is because of fairness. >> that is what i want people to understand the president obama does not

anyone who wonders whether better jobs or paychecks are things of the past, i have a leer and you equivocalr and unequivocal message. with the right leadership america will come roaring back. >> greg: can you believe it? it's election day. you know what that means? time for the prime, the super thin but he sees -- [ inaudible ] sonic boom of the briefing room. lay dids and gents man on the fence. we have carl cameron. would have's tricks? >> hey, hi, greg. i'd prefer humble beat reporter at the end of a very long campaign trail but thank you. mr. romney is right now en route from the day on the road back to boston. he began this day in his hometown of belmont, massachusetts, where he cast a ballot for himself, wife ann with him. when he was asked who they voted for he said, "i think you know." from there, romney spent the day in ohio and pennsylvania dealing with volunteers, trying to jazz that get out the vote effort and the final day. romney upbeat and he told reporters a short time ago on the plane intellectually he thought he won it and would win it all along. he said he has only prepar

and we know that susan rice unequivocally said -- it wasn't as if she equivocated.d be this or that. the evidence was conflicting. her story was the same. i got even stronger and less embellished with each one of the shows that she went on. she said there is no evidence otherwise. which was not true. that is the question. tomorrow is the real event when petraeus will testify. he has to explain how he could have shaded what he said at the time so strongly to one side when we know it was not so. we would suspect that somebody of his intelligence with all the information he had, he might have known it wasn't so. was he being a team player? and if he was, was he doing it entirely in the name of the team? or did he have a sense he had to play with the team because of the over scandal throughout hovering over him at the time? after all, the team had all the information about his situation. he was still hoping that he would stay in h job and end up not being exposed. >> chris: i want the panel to stand by. we have saxby chambliss who is out of the hearing standing by. we w

having covered that war, i can say without much equivocation that there were aspects of his leadership of the strategy that he was leading over there that were controversial, that there were multiple points of view and that really didn't get surfaced very profoundly in her account. >> i take it it's fair to say she admired general petraeus. you talked about washington being a place where washington was a place where classified information was used as a pickup line. what did you mean by that? >> i knew you were going to ask me about that. i can't reveal anything more than that. >> i want to make clear that we don't know part of the fog of war here, so to speak, in the coverage, whether or not any important classified information ended up on paula broadwell's computer but certainly that's part of the story. tara's going to be tight-lipped about that one. one thing i want to point out, the 20,000 or 30,000 pages between general allen and jill kelley. you reported that there were only a couple hundred of e-mails over the source of a few years and most were routine. i heard you say there we

the egyptians have been equivocal, as you know, on this whole issue of gaza and the sinai and all those things so it will be very interesting to see how the egyptians come down on this. i don't think there's any doubt this is a terrible escalation. thank god they've got iron dome but obviously, iron dome is not completely protective when you're looking at huge barrages of rockets. but this is incredibly serious and one that is going to require a lot of american leadership. >> let's turn again if i could to mitt romney, who has been coming out, giving some kind of defense for why he lost. there is a suggestion he's being a bit of a sore loser here, that by going on about the president giving gifts to minority groups and so on, really, he's not coming over in a very dignified way. you lost to barack obama before. should mitt romney be a little above this now and just take defeat gracefully? >> you know, i don't know. these things are always tough. but you know, i have a great line that i use all the time after i lost, i slept like a baby. sleep two hours, wake up and cry. sleep two hours,

john kerry seems to equivocate and, you know, this whole -- there's there is a whole way that he wouldsomebody who's easy to go back and forth. there were a lot of things or that were unfair about the way he was attacked. but it rang true to the public. he didn't have a feeling for how that came across. he often talked about going to jail on the privileges he had. bill clinton went to yale also. but he never mentioned that. he somehow was able to come across as an ordinary guy. so the negative ads work when they sort of ring true somehow. it might not always be fair. you know, i don't know how perilous. what happened with john kerry, another thing is -- another important aspect is how does a candidate respond to attack ads. when john kerry was being attacked that came out in august of that year, he did not respond right away. one of the things we saw with the obama campaign in 2008, and this year, is that anytime there has been an attack, there was a response immediately. whenever a candidate says i'm not going to answer that attack, it doesn't work. bill clinton perfected that in 1992

. -- equivocation here. there's no false equivalency between mitt romney and barack obama. the auto industry. mitt romney wants to destroy it. he's telling lies about it. if you're voting if jobs is your most important issue and you vote for mitt romney, you're an idiot. doug is calling from santa cruz. >> caller: hi, bill. >> bill: i miss california. what's going on. >> caller: i remember hearing from time to time in san francisco. >> bill: absolutely. what's up? >> caller: i'm looking at two lies and i'm trying to figure out which one is more serious. one lie about a demonstration and reaction to anti-islamic video in benghazi outside the consulate and i'm looking at this lie about g.m. and chrysler and jeep. and i'm trying to figure out which someone more serious. >> bill: let me help you out. one is a lie and one is not. the intelligence reports read the reports i have, the intelligence reports from on the scene in benghazi at the time of the protests were protestors there told our intelligence officers they were reacting to the protests in cairo which were directly tri

he was somewhat equivocal as to whether that was actually what it was about or whether that was simply lie about what it was about be one is the cia directors was to be an independent person? knock a hole into the administration we met. >> absolutely. they are there to gather intelligence and use it in a way that protects the united states. that is his only start. megyn: what could eric holder have been thinking? remapped. >> either he told her he was aware that somebody at the white house didn't want to know. but the general procedure was you don't new don't tell things that we don't want the president to now. you know, somebody -- what i heard during the bin laden raid -- there was a suggestion that tom donovan didn't want the president watching the video. even though it didn't show the actual killing. even though it was simply focused on the helicopter. anyone who is focused in that way is acting in an atmosphere in which people don't want. megyn: if you accept the story that has been given thus far that attorney general eric holder was told that the cia director had compromised him

congress expresses the une equivocal support and appreciation of the nation to the president commandern chief, that was bush for his firm leadership and decisive action in the conduct of military operations in iraq. as part of the ongoing war on global war on terrorism. he voted for it. >> moderator: if i . >> and i have the role call with me. he has voted for every appropriations for war in afghanistan. every appropriation for war in iraq, and says he's opposed to it. that's nonsense. we have to situation where the war budget is destroying the very things he says he aims to correct. he won't vote against the guns. >> moderator: mrs. ericson. glirk i believe he lined. they are designed to carry targeted nuclear bombs. if what i understood bernie sander to say they're not he lied and committed fraud. f-35 are designed to carry targeted, smart, nuclear bombs. russia is an ally of syria assad dictatorship and trading partner with india. the russians answer to the f-35 is the t-50 and they are selling the t-50 to india. russia doesn't want to renew the 1990ctr the cooperative threat reprog
