mr. brooks. (applause) >>> good evening. my name is robert woods. treasure island, like any other piece of property that you're trying to build on, there should be someone with an expertise in toxic sites of such who signs off on each site that is approved -- that has been approved. you usually do that because you're trying to save yourself a lawsuit because if the company that is performing the work makes a mistake, now you've got someone you can go after. when you bring up such a generic report and give to you and you sign off on that, that doesn't give the community no protection. what protects the community is when those sites are signed off, they're signed off by someone who has expertise in the area and it should be something that you're looking for also. you don't want to just accept what they give you and then that becomes law because they are making laws to fit them self-and their situation whether you like it or not. and i tell you, make sure that every site signed off not only just treasure island, but hunters point also. those sites, you

. >> thank you, mr. woods. i'm going to call up more speakers. i have becky hope. ciandra connolly, and la shandra price. whoever is next needs to come up. >>> good evening, i'm becky hogue and i'm a resident of treasure island. i still believe in the project. i sat here last year, asked you to let us go on with the project. maybe i still believe in fairy tales, but i believe it's going to happen and i want it to be safe. i have two questions. this thought line number, on a friday evening at 9 o'clock at night, i drive by a gate that has lots of trucks and everything in it. the gate is wide open, lights are on, nobody is there. if i call this hotline number, there is not going to be anyone there on friday night at 9 o'clock at night. but anybody could wander in there. we've had so many strangers out on the island lately, which i mean, we've had a spike in burglaries again with all of the activities that are happening out there. and, so, i mean i would think that the people that are cleaning up stuff wouldn't want people to be able to wander in their open gates at 9

mr. woods disobeyed the order and tried to rescue ambassador christopher stevens and other americans. tyrone woods was killed that day. so was the ambassadors, his aid sean smith and glen doherty also a navy seal. today on the radio program president obama said. this i was not personally aware of any requests. obviously we have an infrastructure that's set up to manage requests like that. we're kind to find out what happens. ultimately any time there is a death of an american oversees i want to find out what happened because my most important job as president is keeping the american people safe. >> bill: all right. so once again, mr. obama didn't explain what happened on 9/11 in libya. once again he said his administration is investigating. but so much, so much misinformation has been but the out there by the obama administration you would think that six weeks after the attack some kind of clarity could be put forth by the president he doesn't have to do it because the press is not pushing him.

mr. chairman. >> thank you. now the gentleman from ohio has exactly five minutes. >> thank you. i thank the chairman. lieutenant colonel woodw many months were you in libya? >> i was in libya approximately six months. >> mr. nordstrom, how many months were you in libya? >> approximately ten. >> ms. lam, how many times have you visited libya -- how many times have you visited linea period? >> i have not. >> none over the last 14, 15 modz? >> no. >> none since the security instances in libya did you visit? >> no, sir. >> mr. kennedy, how many times have you been to libya? >> none. >> let me go to this process. we had numbers earlier from mr. nordstrom. you talked about 3/5 in liva and then you talked about you wanted 12 plus a back-up of six, and i want to know about this process, and i'll go to mr. kennedy first. mr. kennedy, you would say that the department of state regularly assesses risk and allocation which considers judgment of professionals in washington and on the ground using the best information available. that process -- i want to know how the decision was made. are you involved in that process, ambassador kennedy

mr. woods makes a good point. why we probably have done this every day. will come out and tell us about a discussion they had that tells us exactly what happened. >> kimberly: president obama says we don't leave anybody behind but we did in benghazi. you have want do a press conference about that. shameless. >> bob: with all due respect the father. it can understand him being upset. the idea from a drone photograph you can tell what is going on, on the ground and further more you can hear cries from help is not possible. the idea in the white house they watched this realtime through smoke and flame is just not, just not something that can sustain itself. you can't make a decision from ma you saw an a drone. >> dana: charlotte lamb testified differently. >> kimberly: under oath. >> dana: she said she was watching it full-time. i don't know if it's running in the white house situation room but she says under oath she was watching it from the department. >> bob: they were watching fire and smoke and a lot of mayhem on the ground. the question is can you make

honestly, i must say i have a lot of sympathy for mr. woods.rrible state of grief right now. but fairness to clinton to suggest she was insincere. >> bret: "special report." new revelations. it can be seen saturday and sunday. new stuff in here. next up, we'll have final thoughts about the election. want to save the friday lightning round. we used up all of our time. oh...there you go. wooohooo....hahaahahaha! i'm gonn no you're not. i know. you know ronny folks who save hundreds of dollars switching to geico sure are happy. how happy are they jimmy? happier than a witch in a broom factory. get happy. get geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more. >> bret: short friday lightning round. this week, congressional races to watch with 43% of the vote. we don't cover enough house races so we cover them here. >> in our metropolitan area maryland democratic party has managed to gerrymander a district north of the capital here. john delany is the democratic candidate. he was not the establishment choice in maryland. but he is in a cl

mr. woodswould call it heartbreaking, infure rating and also for confusing when you look at the statements since september 11 of the various part of the administration. including the president himself. that don't -- they must realize they did not, they did not say what the president said they did, reveal information. >> greg: it makes you wonder. why did they abandon americans in harm's way? is this about an election? it freaks me out. imagine a loved one is murdered and they console you by saying don't worry, we'll get the filmmaker that might have ticked off your murder. this administration is becoming the world's largest clown car with this many jackasses to run tours of the grand canyon. i want to thank dana for making me this the her shirt. bob, you will love it. who pushed the video? c'mon. >> andrea: you wear it at the gym. >> greg: nobody would know what i was saying. >> andrea: they would think it's kim kardashian video. >> dana: a lot of other news outlets have been forced to table. t

mr. charlie woods. everyone is flabbergasted at what is happening on this program. what are your thoughts on our? >> well, the only thought you can have is that as a father, you hear that and it is heartbreaking. i think it is a heartbreaking story. the reason that is significant is because there are a lot of parents who have suffered losses of their children in iraq and afghanistan and other american heroes. in this case, it is a story that encapsulates what happened in benghazi and encapsulates everything about the people, especially the establishment that has been struggling to get a grasp on what happened. here you have in real-time, not just what the white house knew. not just that they were watching. but the calls for help to have three calls for help reviews -- it is going to lead to a lot of lead to a lot of consternation and a lot of frustration. then you think about how a father has to go forward and carry that message. what a difficult job for him. he is certainly changing the direction of this discussion at a crucial moment in the country. megyn: mitt ro

>>guest: well, chris, we share the grief that mr. woods exhibited in that segment. let me say this, we will get to the bottom of this. the intelligence committee will hold hearings, and the state department has their own investigation underway. but i have to say any observer would looks at what happened in benghazi would have to say this situation has been politicizeed. governor romney realizes his anxiouses and his reaction was unbecoming to potential commander in chief and backed off of those comments. in the debate last week, benghazi and libya was not raised when governor romney had a chance to discuss it. we ought to be asking in the spirit of ambassador stevens and pulling together. after 9/11, and --. >>chris:, wait, wait, wait, senator, it is a legitimate issue to discuss before an election when four americans were killed and there are questions of intelligence failures before and during the attack. >>guest: it is a legitimate issue but every story leads to political come tear and trying to point fingers. after 9/11 we came together. there were a lost questi

>> chris, we share the grief that mr. woods exhibited in that segment. me say this: we're going to get to the bottom of this. the intelligence committee will hold hearings when we return right after the election and the state department has its own investigation underway but i have to say this: any impartial observer who looks at what happened in benghazi, would haveo say this situation has been politicized. governor romney himself realizes that his actions and his reaction was unbecoming for a potential commander-in-chief and he has backed off those comments in that point of view. in the debate this last week, benghazi and libya was not even raised when the governor had a chance to discuss it. we ought to be acting in the spirit of ambassador stevens and ought to be pulling together. after 9/11 -- >> wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. senator... certainly, it is a legitimate issue to discuss before an election, when four americans were killed, and there are questions of intelligence failurefore and during the attack, is it not? >> it is a legitimate issue, b

mr. charles woods made in the interview.ed him aside at that ceremony for his son and said that we will have that filmmaker arrested. that was the friday after the tuesday that the men were killed. susan rice was on the talk shows saying that was all about video. and now you have hillary clinton saying directly to him, we are going to have that filmmaker arrested, even though we know from these cables that we saw this week that she was told as it was happening, moments after him and that this islamic jihad group was claiming responsibility for it, and she knew that 20 guys with weapons, including rpg's and other weapons were bombing the consulate and unleashing hell. >> megyn, this is why it was a political decision. it was 13 days later that the filmmaker was arrested and we know that the film had nothing to do with this particular attack on this consulate. now, you say, well, he probably did violate his federal parole. you are a lawyer. i talked to some people in and federal law enforcement who say there are lots of those

. >> mr. wood, let me bring you into the conversation here. i want your comments on that specifically, the number you wanted in libya plus the additional six. >> we agreed to the numbers between eric and i and put forth those numbers. we felt great frustration the fact that those demands were ignored. >> so the process when i was asked ambassador kennedy, tell me who you felt was involved in that process? who were the folks in washington in that process? >> i heard eric nordstrom refer to ms. lamb as far as the deciding authority on providing those additional resources. >> experienced professionals on the ground in washington, who were the other experienced professionals in washington that helped make that decision? >> i don't know >> mr. nordstrom, who else? somebody had to decide, someone in washington was telling you guys you couldn't get what you wanted, was it just ms. lamb or were there other people? >> i can't speculate in terms of who was. i dealt with our regional director and then ms. lamb. the ambassador in the d.c.m. raised the sam

mr. woods, what is your premise and the main point you're trying to cross? >> only about 5% of the book deals with fiscal issues of the budget. i would rather jump out a window than read or write a book on us. but to set the stage, i am explaining that we are on a trajectory, left or right or democrat or republican, we all have to admit it can't be sustained. obviously, some very wrenching changes are coming. the rest of the book is geared towards revisiting some of the arguments by which we were sold the government. if it weren't for this program, we would have that -- and etc. when we do have to cut back is not going to be the terrible catastrophe and nightmare scenario to the country -- the silver lining is that you cut back on so many things and we will give a lot more scope for entrepreneurship and freedom. >> what is one of the budget items that you could see being cut back? >> up here, with a book like this -- some assume that i am a right-winger. but i want to take the shift away from the poor people and so on. i am a libertarian. i want to pretty mu

vice president joe bide, very strange reaction many might say, to mr. woods. tyrone woods was in benghazi of course when that consulate was attacked. he was in the annex. he was killed on the rooftop by mortar fire when he tried to protect the people that were evacuated and come to that building. house speaker john boehner is calling on president obama to explain the administration's response. we'll speak with congressman mike rogers who has been out in front of this whole situation since day one. he is chairman of house intelligence committee from libya. he will join us a little while. bill: we'll see him at the half hour. meantime we're getting going on a friday. the son of a virginia democrat now under investigation for possible voter fraud. this time it was caught on tape. martha: unfortunately for him. a new warning of a monster storm that threatens the east coast. experts say it could be a big one. >> they were saying that the new jersey has never experienced anything to this magnitude before. that's why we're monitoring it very, very closely. >> because

mr. nordstrom and lieutenant colonel wood.the last flag flying . they were saying, we need to be here. colonel was in charge of the ss team . he was told you are not only listening for the stars and moon and you are asking for the sun. you got to wonder. if the people were so concerned about the security of our ambassador and diplomat people on the ground. why was the turning a blind eye and deaf year. it doesn't make sense. >> gretchen: are there two parallel investigations going on. the lack of security and alleged cover up. is that the way you see it >> what did we learn from benghazi. if we haven't learned anything from it. unfortunately there is time to stop running for reelection. and you turn away from the most important responsibility we have. and that the state department. they are directly responsible for the diplomatic corp over seas y. would that be a issue we can't touch and we have to spin it. i am appall would by the derelection of duty. and we have to get it fixed. >> brian: under secretary patrick kennedy had

colonel wood and mr. nordstrom, is this the result proceed or actual of your testimony here today, you are approached or anything happens in your professional lives with the united states government that you have any questions about, please come to this committee. we take the work of whistle- blowers and people who give testimony very seriously. you have been critical to bring out things which would not have -- which would not have come out to. i will close with two comments. he did not produce security at the same time as you are increasing hazardous duty pay. it does not make sense. i have not heard that question asked and answered. i only heard that it occurred. i think the state department to take away from today and understanding that that sends a message that says, we will pay you for the risk. we will not pay to have you made safer. that is the impression that anyone would get if you reduce the staffing below recommendations or request an increase the pay. i do not think the men and women who servi

we don't have a complete list, but we have an information what mr. wood will say.sador stevens just about every day between february when his mobile security deployment team until august when he left just about a month before the deadly raid which was reportedly about the time his team's mission was over. and wood told cbs that it's unbelievable to him, that his team was pulled out of libya, given the fact that he says he was constantly trying to demonstrate to the state department how dangerous, volatile and unpredictable things were in libya, as for the investigation on the ground, the fbi says they continue to coordinate with the state department, justice department and the defense department it figure out exactly what happened and who was responsible. but remember that the fbi wasn't able to get boots on the ground there for about three weeks after the raid when they'd already left the country. back to you in new york. >> peter doocy, thank you so much for that update. let's get the rest of your headlines now, we have to tell you about the rare fungal meningiti

>> yes, sir, i listen intently to those conversations. >> mr. wood let me bring you into the conversation here. i want your comments on that specifically, the number you wanted in libya plus the additional six. >> we agreed to the numbers between eric and i and put forth those numbers. we felt great frustration the fact that those demands were ignored. >> so the process when i was asked ambassador kennedy, tell me who you felt was involved in that process? who were the folks in washington in that process? >> i heard eric nordstrom refer to ms. lamb as far as the deciding authority on providing those additional resources. >> experienced professionals on the ground in washington, who were the other experienced professionals in washington that helped make that decision? >> i don't know >> mr. nordstrom, who else? somebody had to decide, someone in washington was telling you guys you couldn't get what you wanted, was it just ms. lamb or were there other people? >> i can't speculate in terms of who was. i dealt with our regional director and then ms. lamb

of course, always wood or any kind of plastic form or anything like that. >> job mr. some of the pieces you have made while you have been here. -- taught me through some of the pieces you have made while you have been here. >> the first thing that attracted me to this was the printed surface. it was actually a poster. it was a silk screen watercolor, about 8 feet long. in terms of the flatwork, i work with a lot of cloddish. so being able to cut into it come at into it, removed parts, it is part of the process of negotiating the final form. >> how do you jump from the two dimensional work that you create to the three-dimensional? maybe going back from the 3f to 2d. >> everything is in the process of becoming. things are never said or settled. the sculptures are being made while i am doing the collages, and vice versa. it becomes a part of something else. there's always this figuring out of where things belong or where they could parapets something else. at the end goal is to possibly see one of these collage plans be built out and create a structure that reflects back

mr. brooks. (applause) >>> good evening. my name is robert woods. treasure island, like any other piece of property that you're trying to build on, there should be someone with an expertise in toxic sites of such who signs off on each site that is approved -- that has been approved. you usually do that because you're trying to save yourself a lawsuit because if the company that is performing the work makes a mistake, now you've got someone you can go after. when you bring up such a generic report and give to you and you sign off on that, that doesn't give the community no protection.
