did this not fit too terri schiavo are rative, did they not take it seriously. once it was going down they knew the consulate was under attack and the ambassador was there. why didn't they send in a group to rescue him? >> judge jeanine: tell me why? >> i don't know. i talked to one person and they said maybe they just were worried it would be a blackhawk down incident? i said what do you mean the ambassador was expendable? well, they didn't provide any sources or resources to go rescue him while he was there. >> judge jeanine: you are are familiar with all of this and you worked in president regan's administration, correct? >> yep. >> judge jeanine: if an american was killed then along with three other officials what do you think would have happened? >> we would have gone in it to rescue them. you didn't know if they were dead or taken hostage. why didn't you send in reenforcement. the two seals thar that were k, they knew something was going on and rushed in to the scene to see if they could be of any assistance. i got a whole lot of questions about this but o

judge jeanine: the benghazi and i attack and administration continuing coverup and changing nare rativereporter kept trying to get a straight answer. >> were the americans under attack at the consulate in benghazi, libya denied requests for help during the attack and is it fair to tell american hass happened is under investigation and we will all find out after the election? >> the election has nothing to do with four brave americans getting killed and us wanting to find out exact bely what happened. these are folks who served under me h that i had sent to some dangerous places. >> judge jeanine: political commentator and author of mugged ann coulter and fox news contributor and former pollster for president carter pat gudel join me this evening. he is asked to clarify and the second answer is as evasive as the first. my question to you, ann, is why is the media not dealing with the fact that there is a clear coverup here? >> yeah, because they want to reelect obama. i have never seen it like this. it would be as if they didn't cover the helicopter failed rescue -- in iran with jimmy ca

i suspect it's an instant reaction and there's research on dlib rative polling.en they are in a position of power, people have a difference of opinions. not what do i think after learning things but after i'm responsible for it. we want to know what would somebody think. >> if you having this belief meant something opposed to getting off the phone with the pollster. >> one of the problems we have is that a lot of people, probably anywhere from the third to a half are unengaged on any given issue. the polls only use these questions. do you approve or disapprove? or don't you have an opinion. if you say i approve or disapprove, you may say that because you are in a polling context and you have to come up with something and they don't measure intensity. for people who don't have an opinion, they are very, very much influenced by the way in which the question is asked, by the context. if you ask questions about health care and now this question. polls really overstate the percentage of people who have an opinion. they are able to influence what people say by the cont

it's sort of lean forward but the goals and strategies is actually ratively similar. >> i don't knowss is a fan of james brown. but mitt romney reminded me today of that song when james brown, this great hit "talking loud and saying nothing." one year ago, mitt romney gave a speech at the citadel on foreign policy. it was billed and marketed as a huge speech. he will tell us how he would make the world a better place, how he would do things differently. and there wasn't a lot of meat there. once again, mitt romney had 23 minutes, he used 23 minutes, i counted them. and he basically said nothing. i agree with the president that we -- let's just get tougher with iran. we need to arm the rebels in syria, use third parties to help advance our case. he made some mistakes and blunders, of course. one mistake is that he said, this president's done nothing on free trade agreements. i guess south korea and panama, colombia -- >> didn't count for him. >> but overall, mitt romney is trying to prove -- this is his whole argument, that republicans are tougher when it comes to foreign policy. you

our goal continues to be to create as co-lab rative and coordinated a regulatory regime as we possiblystanding that we won't be able to be identical. the goal is to not have transactions go to the jurisdiction with the lowest standards, nobody wants to see that happen. the goal is also to not have multilateral institutions subject to conflicting rules and requirements in different jurisdictions so that it becomes impossible or unbearably costly to do business. so it's a major reason why it's taken as long as it has to get the derivevatives in place. but continue to be optimistic we will work through with our colleagues around the world reasonable framework that will serve the role of closing gaps and not creating opportunities for regulatory arbatradge. >> the s.e.c. has announced a goal of reducing reliance on the large rating agencies. but you've also raised the cost of regulation to those agencies because they're more disclose yures. you've described the greater transparency. how would small new rating agencies be able to shoulder those kinds of regulatory expenses and be able to co
