"the washington post" this year calculated that since 9/11, we have built enough new american national security office space to fill 22 u.s. capitals. and that's just what is set aside for top secret is set aside for top secret is set aside for top secret intelligence work. there's also the military bases: closing them in saudi arabia, opening them in afghanistan and iraq, expanding them all over

he chose this moment, this is the first national security speech since he was reelected.e chooses to talk about nuclear weapons. to underscore his personal commitment to it, to reaffirm his vision that he expressed in prague in his first speech as president that this is important to him and he did it at the national defense university with his entire nuclear security team in front of him. this was as much a message to the bureaucracy as it was to the american people in the world. this is important to me. i intend to see this through. >> his personal commitment on this issue is something that's made it an issue to watch since he first became president. frankly, since he first became senator. how do you judge his first term in terms of keeping his promises or aimed toward the things he wanted to get accomplished in this field? >> he's kept almost all his promises in this field. there's a fact checking site that ran the numbers down today and judged that in most cases, he kept his promises. he did a treaty with russia. he did increase and speed up the work to secure these nu

fox was reporting right is being talked up as a potential pick for national security advisor since thatould not require senate confirmation. late breaking news on the cabinet moves. gm unveiling new 2014 chevy silverado and gmc pickups hoping the new models will drive sales for the auto giant. jeff flock live in pontiac, michigan, with more. >> i'm surrounded by the team that put this together. all these folks you see are the ones who put together the gm sierra and silverado pickup. we talked to mark reuss earlier in the day talking about the fiscal cliff being introduced at a time when the country could be an economic role. telling me he think they will make money even if the nation goes forward over the fiscal cliff. >> we can make a lot of money at fiscal cliff levels, but plans in place to do all that. we don't think we need to. >> what does your internal planning say if you go over? >> we take a look at different car lines by segment and look at where the strike is a and look t the pent-up demand. >> this is a huge vehicle for gm, the best-selling of all gm vehicles. a quick look a

you watch tv. >>> nationally, the investment that we have made in war fighting since 9/11, the investment that we have made in the intelligence apparatus and the whole national securityetting so much bigger than it was, that's money and investment that we made in that direction that we couldn't make in some other direction, that we didn't make in infrastructure, energy, education or health care or whatever you have. >> at the end of the day, bin laden and the top leaders from al qaeda were killed by institutions that existed before 9/11. they were killed by the cia. they were killed by the military. they were killed by military special operations. >> the argument, though, from those who have defended the massive expansion, particularly in intelligence and in top secret work, say, you know, you can complain all you want about it, but there hasn't been another 9/11. and so, that proves it was worth it. >> well, there hasn't been another 9/11, and that does prove that certain things work. but that doesn't prove that the whole apparatus works. and it doesn't prove that, well, you can just keep adding more and more security. and there's also a real danger here that it's h

my first book was on the history of the national security council and it stopped in the middle of the boy should ministration and a lot has gone on since then. i am looking at the state of national security post the second half of the bush administration particularly the obama years and whether we are getting any stronger or whether we are in a more precarious position than we have been before. >> host: mary in chris christie, texas, you are on booktv with david rothkopf. >> caller: i find this conversation very interesting. i was wondering if you could comment on the reckoning that is to come a little bit. >> guest: one dimension of the reckoning that lies ahead is the competition between capitalism. right now in the united states coming out of a period where we have in the ascending power, we have been the ones who have sort of set the standard for all markets and governments should work together but clearly the asian economies are thriving and growing faster and their version of capitalism which is a much bigger role for government, which has government playing more of a straw role in picking winners and losers, determining who gets

similarly here, this is his first national security speech since being re-elected president.devotes it to nuclear weapons. he comes down to honor richard lugar and sam nunn who founded this program 20 years ago. the cooperative reduction program. if has eliminated thousands of weapons in russia and other countries but then he takes that and says our job is not done. we have to go further. we have to disassemble the weapons of the bygone era. missile by missile warhead by warhead. bomb by bomb. so he's reaffirming his vision of the peace and security of a world without nuclear weapons. a very important statement. get going. i'm not done yet then to the american people, this is the direction we're going in. >> bill: the administration is doing that. this is an on-going campaign. >> it is an on-going campaign. we're about to see act two. act one, we saw new treaties with the russians. a new direction. a new policy for the united states but it is only half done. it is not complete. we have to make much deeper reductions. stop the contracts for the new weapons. this is what the pr

this blurring, we typically in this country, since the national security act of 1947, which reorganized security, we've typically tried to keep a real bright line between intelligence and operations. you remember that on wmds and the issues in the cia. i think this blurring is a problem that needs more oversight. >> perry, we've talked about this and you and i have had this conversation on the broadcast, one of president obama's legacies is probably going to be drone strikes. probably going to be a significant part of his legacy, much to the chagrin of folks part of the progressive wing of the party. what do you make of that? >> i think he would say his legacy is going to be the fact he wound down al qaeda. he killed osama bin laden. there's two ways to look at that. they've done a great job in terms of killing terrorists, but the drone program itself, looking forward, there's a big question about how much executive authority president obama used. obama talked about not using authority the way president bush did, but it's one of the examples how he's using executive authority in the way

national security. after all, it's been a decade since cheney drummed up support for a war based on faulty intelligence.we would still be fighting if he were in charge. he launched his latest attack on president obama's foreign policy last week at the hudson institute, blasting the president for having the gal to bring troops home. fox news offers a few of the evening's key details. cheney was introduced by scooter libby who spoke in detail about cheney's life and accomplishments, joking how cheney flunked out of yale twice and joking about his hunting incident. cheney went right at u.s. foreign policy, letting folks know his view of the middle east hasn't changed much. >> that entire part of the world appears to be moving in a direction that's fundamentally hostile to long-term u.s. interest. and yet we are -- seem to be unable to influence events in that part of the world. partly because we're headed for the exits and everybody knows it. >> what's cheney's solution to bringing stability to the middle east, endless war? >> we pulled out of iraq, we didn't bother to negotiate the stay behind agreement.

armed security staff on campus, according to the national center for education statistics. 20% of those primary schools, 54%, middle schools, 68% of those high schools have armed security. and since the tragedy at sandy hook, lawmakers across the country now pushing a new solution. to arm teachers in classrooms with guns. >> you should be able to carry your handgun anywhere in this state. >> i wish to god she had had an m-4 in her office, locked up. >> reporter: gun advocates point to a case in 1997, when an armed vice principal at a high school in mississippi stopped a 16-year-old gunman who had already shot and killed two students. but at a school in suburban chicago, where the focus is high tech security, but no guns, fourth grade teacher dara sacher says training teachers to be sharpshooters and expecting them to be at the right place at the right time is unrealistic. >> i wouldn't feel comfortable being armed. i think it would be better to keep the guns out of school rather than arm teachers. >> reporter: bill bond, principal at heath high school in kentucky when a gunman killed two students in 1997, believes more guns will create more problems. >> if i contest him with a gu

that the united states has played since the end of the second world war and still plays today and that is as a provider of security. not only to itself but to lots of nationsround the world. and i think that the general global stability that we've enjoyed since the second world war is largely due to america's ability to play that role and that's what the defense budget pays for. (slow instrumental music) >> but the attacks of september 11, 2001 gave rise to a new enemy, islamic terrorism. and military leaders struggled over how to even find this foe, much less fight it. >> all of a sudden these various groups got swept up together in a larger war on terror. and since 9/11 over the past decade we've spent billions of dollars in pursuit of a very difficult goal which is eradicating these small groups that seek to create overreactions on the part of governments. >> one of the reasons we're in so much trouble in afghanistan is because we went well beyond our mission. we accomplished the mission, but we took our eye off the ball when we intervened, invaded iraq and occupied iraq. and now twelve years later we're not sure what our mission is. >> the iraq war cos

it's a public health could it be that a problem to national security now that we're seeing it affect the military. absolutely i've been studying this since one thousand nine hundred ninety five i mean this is nothing new very i remember seeing incoming. troops come in there and more than fifty percent of them could not pass the physical fitness standards on day one so this is not the new the fact that the alarming volume of people that are getting picked out for me that is definitely a story. that yeah i mean in. the first ten months of this year the army kicked out over sixteen thousand soldiers so it's a problem not only getting in now as a civilian but already those that are already enlisted are. gaining too much weight i guess. so so i want to ask you what is the mill you know how is this prompting this problem now that it's been identified as a problem the military to reexamine its training programs and i guess how do you get these soldiers back in shape well the military has actually spent a lot of money on hiring physiologists a lot more trainers so it's not just some drill sergeant that is getting people into shape it is actually

i think the dni, that the whole way that the bureaucracy built up since the dni was formed is hurting the national security found out that susan vice worth $40 million. it read that in the "wall street journal." is this an attack on the rich? >> eric: class warfare. i think it's a little bit our fault, a little of the media's fault not staying on it, on our side. you saw the navy seal saying thank you to fox. we have done it. we have done our share. i think we have only missed two or three day since september 11 covering the story. but this really comes down to the justice department. justice department not investigating this the way they didn't investigate fast and furious. it's a problem. you know, dan ab says history will show. hope history doesn't show. current and present time people dig in and find out what happened and we expose them. there won't be a movie about benghazi. it won't happen. >> greg: why is that? if this was president bush you'd scream bloody merd. >> there was a terrible process of vetting a statement that susan rise got. i think the dni was responsible for that. the 94-word statemen

the whole concept of national security and how that has changed since 9/11 and whether we are in a better place? >> most people feel we are safer than we were. that is what national security is about. it is a state of mind sometimes as much as it is a state of security. i think people feel they are better off. i am glad that is the case. what we have gone through is a difficult price, a high price, to get to this level. it is not just the inconvenience at an airport. it is not just the fact i cannot pull my car into the building anymore. it is not that i have to show my id. it is not that. what i worry most about is what we have given to the government in terms of the ability of the government to spy on us and how that has evolved. people are bothered as much by that as they are about almost anything else. i think we have to continue to reconsider some of the things that have been done, the granting of broad powers for investigating, so we do not make a permanent mistake for a temporary experience to protect ourselves from radical islamists and terrorists who continue to be ready to sacri

got a judge to decide in advance that this was a national security question which is very rare now is done all over america. what where what happened since he left office it just seems like business is completely rampant now it is rampant mandarin is one of the main reasons why technology's advanced for the basic point you have to in the past for a fourth amendment violation for a search or a seizure the police officers the government had to intrude on something you had a protected interest in something private your house your car something where they actually either crossed a physical boundary or you had an expectation of privacy what's being happening now is basically replicating police being able to follow you around and they've always been able to do that police can follow you around and watch you but nobody had the resources to do it before the technology we're going to have to do is we're going have to get past the idea of criminal procedure constitutional law fourth amendment that we need protection against unreasonable search and seizure and we're going to have to add the word surveillance to the fourth amendment or amend the con

tensions have risen since they said the assassination was planned on the other side of the border. the chief of afghanistan's national director of security was seriously wounded. a close aide to president hamid karzai, he was the target of a suicide bomber posing as a taliban peace envoy. karzai indirectly said the assassination plot was drawn up inside pakistan and the attack came from that country. karzai met his pakistani counterpart in the turkish capital on wednesday. they agreed to establish a joint working group to investigate the incident. >> we should be taking practical steps in bringing more confidence and trust with reserves to the countries of afghanistan and pakistan. >> i consider all incidents which are meaningful and the fact that we are hurting them. therefore, they're striking us hard back. >> reporter: militant groups based in pakistan's northwestern tribal areas frequently cross into afghanistan to carry out attacks. the afghan government has accused pakistan's intelligence agency of providing support to insurgents. but afghanistan needs pakistan's influence to negotiate peace with the taliban. in afghan envoy visite

and if the end of the cold war was the most positive national security development that i've witnessed since coming to the senate, the invasion of iraq to bring about regime change in that country was the biggest national security blunder. that blunder cost our nation dearly in servicemen and women killed and injured and in resources that should have been used to strengthen our economy here at home. last month i was stopped by a woman in northern new mexico who thanked me for my service in the senate and particularly for my vote against granting president bush authority to take our country into that war. the nation's fiscal policy is very much the focus of the senate's attention in these final weeks of the 112th congress. and on this issue, again, we have made one step forward during the time i've been in the senate but, unfortunately, we've taken two steps back. i arrived in the senate in january of 1983, a period of large deficits compared to anything the country had experienced for several decades. and those large deficits grew and persisted through the reagan presidency. in 1990, the dem

in benghazi, the libyan government is focused on the broader issue of national security and reconciliation. it's more than a year sincend killed the long-time dictator omar gadhafi. zar is here with us from tripoli and she's the co-founder of the women's libyan platform for peace. i understand you held a peace conference that included the president, militia members, lawmakers, women representatives as well. what do you feel about the state of your country and where it is heading now? >> well, thank you. our country is at the moment in crisis, and that's due to that we as a country in the government and society did not address the issue of transitional justice and national reconciliation from the beginning. yes, there are very encouraging trends towards libya's transition towards inclusionive democracy. in july libya held the first elections, the country's first multihaf party democratic elections since 1952. a woman won 16.5% of the congress, yet, not addressing the security issues is hindering the whole process of the reconstruction of libya. >> do you feel safe in your community and your country? you say it's in cri

in the three months since the attack, legitimate questions of adequate embassy security, americas overall advocacy in fighting the war on terror and the intricate dance between national security confidentiality and the public's right to know have all been distilled down, thrown out and replaced with this one urgent conclusion concerning current u.s. ambassador to united nations susan rice. >> i will do everything in my power to black her from being the united states secretary of state. she's not qualified. >> jon: that's senator john mccain continuing his seven year quest to negate every good thing he'd ever done prior to that. (laughter) this time leading the charge to preempt as an of now hypothetical obama nomination for secretary of state to replace hillary clinton. why? because five days after the benghazi attacks, susan rice went on the sunday talk shows and said this: . >> the best assessment we have today is that in fact this was not a preplanned, premeditated attack. that what happened initially was a spontaneous reaction to what had just transpired in cairo as a consequence of the video. >> jon: (whit perking) we know that that's wrong now. and we now know

the international community since the palestinians went to the united nations several weeks ago for upgraded statehood there have been some five and a half thousand new secure homes announced in terms of what the israelis were building israel has undergone as i say strong international criticism for these announcements with many in the international community voicing their intense displeasure at these actions by the jewish state in fact the israel's closest ally which is the united states in a rare and blunt move said it is well was engaging in to quote a pattern of provocative action by continuing with settlement expansionist plans with the miscue the kind of statements that the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu is making with his proposal and plan to go ahead with the settlement building is current favorite among the israeli left certainly he is appealing to frankly voters and according to the polls he is likely to win in the next parliamentary election at the same time has largely rebuffed the criticism from the international community saying that your use of them is the eternal capital of the state of israel and will continue to bobet. and with
