i hope the gsa is planning to have them in separate locations. there is a lot of sensitivity about that. for understandable reasons. that represents more cost. this is a very small amount of money by comparison. as an insurance premium on continuity of government and the stability of the united states. i do not think that is overstated in any way. so, as we move into the time between now and 2016, farnese be given to the unique situation, where you will have two streams -- teams transitioning simultaneously and making preparations for that. >> it is a perfect wine. darren, from gsa, who ran the effort tom is not here today. he did an exceptional job. i would put in my own commercial plug-in here. it seems to me we need to have more effort to highlight the good things some of the agencies are doing. that was a vital effort and received very little attention. when something goes wrong, is a huge amount of attention. we need both. what is wrong and what is right. in prior presidential years, there have been allegations of candidates measuring the dr

and gsa. marth dart deliver timely information to engaged -- and engaged citizens through social media, crowd sourcing tools and powerful search engines. congratulations to you. when you hear the stories of the people who win these awards, they are really quite something. they are goose bump provoking. aboutend you to learn them and aspired to them, because it really is something special. unless there is one more question, we will adjourn this. go ahead. foret me just say thank you what has been very inspiring for me. i started at the department of energy five years ago. carolyn mcgregor and i worked in international affairs office there. there is something about the five-year the use your thinking -- especially my generation. my parents' generation went to work someplace and stayed there their whole career. it does not seem to be the mode for mind. among my peers there is a question of whether we should go get experience in the private- sector because there is a sense that that is where the t

i have acknowledged that gsa and their good work. they were resolved to make this a professional effort. finally, i want to recognize that the book mentions the names of everyone who was involved. and it is impossible really to adequately talk about or acknowledge the extraordinary that wereeople involved. i do want to acknowledge that at the very beginning, a couple of people who were there at the foundation of this work, chris iddell, jim quigley, and others. the first thing you want to do is find a person and has a better rolodex in washington than anyone else, and i am convinced that that is jamie. we had worked together at hhs and she had been in a number of different roles, and most of the team you can see in this book reflects in some way directly or indirectly people's willingness to respond to her. i have acknowledged that on many occasions how many times you have a chance to surround yourself with people like the former cfo of microsoft and general motors and the former chairman of the lord, like jim , andrews, doug, steve

i've acknowledged the gsa and their good work. they were resolved to make this a professional effort. and finally, i want to recognize that the book mentions the names of even who was involved. of everyone who was involved. and it's impossible really to adequately talk about or acknowledge the extraordinary group of people that, that were involved. i do want to acknowledge that at the very beginning a couple of people who were there at the foundation of this work -- chris liddell, obviously, jim quigley, doug wooden and jamie burke. there were others. jamie, i think when you accept a responsibility like this, the first thing i think you want to do is to find the person who knows, has a better rolodex in washington than everyone else, and i'm convinced that was jamie. we had worked together at hhs, and she had been in a number of different roles. and most of the team that you can see in this book reflects in some way, directly or indirectly, people's willingness to respond to her. i've acknowledged that on many occasions how many t

we have some opportunities for you at gsa -- [laughter] i think that is really the trick. some ways to scratch that itch and get that experience. i think the best employees are the ones that do take command of their career and try to develop their experience to the fullest extent possible. i can be done entirely within the four corners of the federal government. or go out and come back. i think the trick is that we need a government that reflects the many different facets of the society in which we operate. we need people from different kinds of experience. >> i agree. it is important to have a mix of people in agencies. you can get that experience inside and outside the government. i would not shy away from -- i have worsen the private sector and the nonprofit sector, in addition to the government sector. be open totant to different experiences. >> i don't think we would find -- it really depends on the position we are looking to fill. whether we think experience would be relevant, more relevant than public sector if aryans. i do like -- experience. i do like, there are m

> i just wanted to mention how pleased i was to hear that 52 union plaza is going to be occupied by gsa again about 625 federal employees will be moving back into that building which has been refurbished from what i understand, and i think they will be activating that part of the street in a very significant way. >> commissioner antonini. >> couple items. first, i just want to report that the subcommittee on secretary search has been meeting and is considering the candidate pool that we have received, and we'll be trying to narrow it down to a number that -- for which we can make a decision and that's basically what we've been doing. much of this is in closed session because it is employment issues. i did have another item. last week i went to pick up my car which had to have some work done on it at larkin and sutter street. in fact, the fellow there has the only chrysler servicing place in san francisco for cheap chrysler products. regardless, the big issue is not about the car. he said, can you help me? and apparently he's been tagged every single night. in the past maybe once, every

at the gsa gets what it wants, this will be allowed back on to the plane.e is video of people going through security checkpoints. they have to dump out some of their luggage and items that they go through for everyone's safety. you may recall that two out of the four planes hijacked on a nine/11 or headed to as at all. this place in particular is is sensitive. we got a chance to talk to some travelers this morning. >> i think it is very significant. i do not see the benefit or the reason why a passenger would need that on a flight. check it and in your bags going under the plane. i think that is a threat that should be taken very seriously. >> for now the key as a has suspended this policy. they will review it once again and there will be meetings to answer more questions as to why they think this is a possibility and why they want this to happen. it's csa gets its way is a possibility that these planes here could be back on the plane by memorial day week. >> 718 a m and we want to get a look at traffic and weather. >> we have some temperatures in the 30's

. >> we are doing something at gsa would love to work with other agencies -- mr. tangherlini, to build awareness. we are using an internal kind of social media type system to create linkages between peoples first up is to get people to kind of self-report what their skills and experience is our. we're using it to fuel ideas come and get ideas for how we could be a better service provider. we want something called the great ideas on. with a 600 great ideas but more important we get 20,000 comments where people are exchanging comments and views and perspectives on those ideas across the hierarchy. so we let people from any part of the opposition, none other parts of the organization. we think collaboration, cooperation, overcoming hierarchies, recognizing the value of people's experience in finding ways to get them to share that experience is really going to be the key to how we address the fiscal constraints that we're going to be facing really for the foreseeable future. >> we at hud have an interesting challenge around this question of baby boomers because we wer

i have acknowledged the gsa and their good work. they resolved to make this a professional effort. finally, i want to recognize the book mentions the names of everyone who was involved. it is impossible, really, to adequately talk about or acknowledge the extraordinary group of people that were nvolved. i do want to acknowledge at the very beginning, a couple of people who were there at the foundation of this work, crystal quigley.ladell, john jamie burke. there were others. jamie, i think, when you accept a responsibility like this, the first thing you want to do is to find the person who has a better rolodex in washington and government and anyone else. i am convinced that was jamie. we worked together at h.h.s. and she had been in a number of different roles. most of the team you can see in the book reflects directly or indirectly people's willingness to respond to her. have acknowledged on many occasions how many times you have a chance to surround yourself with people like the former cfo of microsoft and general motors and the armor worldwide chairman like jim and chris, doug,

the president will do once the audit comes out, but remember there was a corruption scandal at the gsa, pat of this government, and people went to vegas and partied on the government's dime and the head of the gsa was forced to resign. we'll see what happens here and how quickly the president takes action and if it's enough. he put himself in a box today and signaled he's going to do something. if he doesn't, wolf, he'll pay a political price. >> he certainly will. thanks very much, jessica. the irs controversy is centering around the activities of a little-known division which deals with requests from groups seeking tax exempt status. we asked our brian todd to take a closer look at this division within the irs. what are you finding out, brian? >> this is the first story many of us have done about the so-called exempt organizations division of the irs. it is buried in the bureaucracy but now at the center of the latest political fight between republican leaders and the white house. it's one of those obscured government offices that you may never hear of if it wasn't at the center of a

one is that they want to have fun at public expense like the gsa scandal. this wasn't that. the other is that the low level bureaucrats want to become high level bureaucrats by doing something to please their bosses. this information went to washington. we know at least that much. it was not a couple of low level people in since that the which by the way is in ohio which by the way, was a -- >> judge jeanine: battleground state, judge? >> right. >> judge jeanine: judge mukasey, always good to have you and your expertise. coming up next, will the irs continue to be used to target americans of opposing political views? the former head of that agency under fire joins me live. and our justice insta-poll this week asks what is your irs horror story? facebook or tweet me. we will read your answers later in the show. >>> the irs has admitted to targeting conservatives even if the white house continues to be stuck on the word "if." my question isn't about who is going resign. my question is who is going to jail over this scandal? >> judge jeanine: the irs scandal is even more fright

going back to the gsa scandal?g held accountable, fired and some people need to be prosecuted and put in jail. >> four state department officials were fired as a result of the benghazi investigation. >> no, they weren't. >> they were removed from their jobs. >> no. wolf, let's have another discussion about this. because what happened with those four people, they led us to believe they were fired, but they weren't fired. they're still taking in an income. >> they're not working at the state department. >> i challenge you on that. >> all right. >> let's have another discussion about that. >> he specifically said those four individuals who had direct responsibility for the lax security at that consulate in benghazi, they were removed from their jobs, punished, penalized. but we'll check into it and get the specific information. >> that would be great. >> congressman, as usual, thanks very much for coming. >> thank you. >>> a new spy scandal broke today. the russians say they caught a cia agent in moscow. how badly cou

both support, defend, promote the igs, but must also insist particularly after situations like the gsathey dealt with that we not wait ten months to find out that there is a there there. that in fact is perhaps the greatest failing of an otherwise well-regarded inspector. you will be looking at how the things went so wrong and how multiple wrong-doings occurred and no one in position of authority so maeems to know anyg about it. it puts higher priority on deniability than addressing late and wrong-doing. the american people don't expect perfection. many of them working very hard and i trying to do the best to make mistakes. a few make wrong-doing and do so deliberately. the buck has to stop somewhere. in this investigation the buck will stop with this committee. this committee will not stop this investigation until we know that the irs is fixed. in a one-on-one interview short le after his report, i asked the inspector general a simple question that i expected to have a mixed answer on. the question was is this the only time? could this happen again? in fact, his answer to me in an una

about "star trek", and there's a whole investigation into irs spending and it's almost similar to the gsae a two fer at the end of the show for a funny. you're going to see a lot of what's been going on at the internal revenue service dug into over the coming months, throughout the summer. several congressional committees want t a crack at this. the house ways and means committee has set up a website specifically for people who feel they've been targeted to send in their stories, and there are people claiming that after they became politically active on behalf of conservative causes and candidates, their businesses were audited for the first time ever, their personal taxes were audited for the first time ever, so bret, this isn't going anywhere and nobody likes the irs, and this is a bi-partisan issue as much as we've seen in recent times. > >> bret: had the chairman of the house ways and means committee, the subcommittee chairman, said whether it's tens of thousands of hard earned taxpayer dollars spent to produce frivolous entertainment for agency bureaucrats or the irs' own admission t

. >> and other government problem gsa admitted the failure to pay thousands of small government contractshis was due to the agency neglecting the minimum payment. but they don't pay the little guy who has the contract. >> i am not shocked but i am disappointed he is not getting paid hopefully he did not spend the money before he received it. >> are you kidding me? that is the nature. >> they squeeze these little businesses the requested proposal. >> what are you talking about? [laughter] even to get the job he will not make much of a profit and not pay them on top of that? they could go get other projects. >> maybe they need to a paper in venezuela. somebody did not pay the bill. i will make use sorry for not paying this bill. [laughter] that is all the many today. we will see you back here tomorrow. >> tonight on "the willis report" public confidence in government rocked after the ira's scandal has america finally lost faith in the institution. new information on why america is a beazer dying at an alarming rate in what it means. and we have some of the best new sports cars for a test dr

the bulk implemented on january 1, and you have this trust in government not just one agency like the gsa scandal. now you've got the justice department, the state department, a member of congress says they didn't follow the proper procedure. and, of course, you have this ongoing irs scandal. so this is, this is something that the democrats are very nervous about. i also think it could hurt immigration because, remember, the department of homeland security's going to get a lot more power if immigration reform is signed into law neil: that's a very good point. i'd almost forgott about that one. that's a good point about whether it's on the administration's agenda, at least shorterm it does. if you're pushing for expansion of health care, you'll still get iti guess, but it's not going to happen rapidly and maybe not fall out the way you wanted with the irs. >> you would think so. and i think the biggest scandal this weemight have been the ap scandal because you saw the press really transformed, you know, from these lap dogs to all of a sudden their toes were the ones that had been stepped o

we could take a look at the gsa conference. the doj tapping of ap telephones. doj tapping of mr. john rosen's telephone and his parents. they said he is a co- conspirator. the co-conspirators says guilty. i wonder what his parents were accused of. we are sitting here today understanding that this administration had no knowledge of any of these circumstances, not even of benghazi. we are to sit here -- i think one of my colleague said we are us to sit here and take the artful answers that you give. myself, i don't know what i'm calling to ask about is the war on the poor that this administration is engaged in, and driving interest rates to zero. you are decimating the people who have no financial sophistication. these are people eight times more likely to have money in just bank accounts, the aging, the elderly. they are the people who come to my town halls and say i live my life correctly, i bought my home, i have a savings account, i was expecting that i could live on my savings and now i'm having to dip into it because i get no interest every month. this administration continue

gsa exists to try to drive down costs, to leverage the scale and scope of federal government.e are mobilizing our efforts around getting up to the agencies in finding ways a can save money within their operations by freezing the footprint, the lapsing and coordinating our fleet operations, leveraging the scale in terms of acquisitions, and using that to try to drive down the cost of government to they can put more back into the mission when they need it the most. >> as you all well know, there is a lot of criticism that you're cutting the most obvious things, the things we can see and can't react to as voters. -- and can react to as voters. a little smarter, there must be some waste in your organization, somebody that could go, and you would still keep the core mission functioning -- is that a fair criticism? >> no. [laughter] you want to first? the way sequestration was done was to go account by account i account by account. -- by account by account. unless you go through the entire process and go to congress and ask for something called a reprogramming, you do not have the f

they pointed out or i -- the gsa scandal that's another agency scandal you'll recall where people on the government dime went to las vegas and partied it up and abused their position and they were dealt with severely. people ended up resigning and losing their jobs. the point there was when governments positions were abused, there was a lack of integrity, the president acted. and so the point is this is a case where we expect to see the president make some heads roll. so i don't know definitively that the president is going to announce that anybody is losing their job. but i wouldn't be surprised if we see the president say that severe consequences either have resulted from the ig's report or will. we do know that he met with senior treasury officials this afternoon and that the treasury secretary is in charge and directing the treasury secretary to carry out, make sure that people were held accountable. we'll see if he has decided already what the results will be or is telling us that there will soon be consequences, wolf. >> gloria, what should the president say on this irs investi
